Kwame Nkrumah was correct when he stated in his groundbreaking book of the same title, “Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism.”

The crisis of imperialism deepened under the presidency of George W. Bush and made Barack Hussein Obama necessary.

As Chairman Omali Yeshitela quipped, “George Bush created more revolutionaries than Che Guevara.”

The myth of Obama being an extension of the Civil Rights Movement could not be further from reality.

Last night’s final presidential debates between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton proved to be the pinnacle of the non-violent contest between the opposing sectors of the white ruling class.

We saw during the two-hour-long #debatenight, imperialism crumbling before our very eyes as Trump and Hillary each pushed their respective agendas, without even a thought given to the African community.

It is even clearer now that the time is ripe for Africans to forward our own political agenda, say “forget 'em both” and #vote4BlackPower!

The imperialist first lady of the United States had some powerful words for Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump during her speech at a Hillary Clinton campaign event in New Hampshire on Thursday.

Obama was emotional as she expressed how repulsed and deeply disturbed she was after hearing Trump’s sexual comments.

Although I find Trump’s statements somewhat problematic, it cannot stand up to U.S. president Barack Obama’s detrimental and deadly actions against Africans and other colonized people around the world.

Alfred Olango, a 38-year-old African was shot multiple times and killed by El Cajon police on Tuesday, September 27, 2016.

Alfred’s sister, Sarah, said that she called the police because her brother needed help. She said he had recently lost his best friend and he was wandering into traffic.

“No confidence in the U.S. government––Democratic or Republican, male or female, black or white! All power to the people! Black Power to the black community!” and “The people must win power with our own hands: Neither Jesse Jackson nor the Democratic party can bring power to the black working class” - from The Burning Spear newspaper, August 1984.

The words ring true today as they did in 1984 when this statement was made. Africans have no confidence in the U.S. government and only vote out of fear of the “white man’s Republican party” and the notion that Africans died and sacrificed for the right to vote with the perception that there are no other alternatives.

Mustafa Bearfield Jr., a 16-year-old teenager living in Huntsville, AL was on his way to school on June 21, 2016 when he was gunned down and murdered by white vigilante, Jonathan Scott only seconds away from his destination.

In Chicago, Illinois and East Chicago, Indiana, hundreds of poor working class Africans are being relocated by by the State after alarmingly high levels of lead in soil has been revealed. 

The extent of the lead contamination came as a shock to the African community, due to the dangers of the past presence of a huge former U.S.S. lead smelting plant being kept from the them. 

The African communities of Illinois and Chicago are well aware of the effects of lead poisoning which Flint’s Africans are struggling with. They are also fearful and demanding answers as to why the government did not inform them of the severity of the soil toxicity much sooner.

Protesters gathered at Baltimore's scenic downtown harbor to protest the execution of Korryn Gaines and the shooting of her young son, Kodi, by Baltimore pigs on August 27, 2016.

The demonstration was led by the People’s Power Assembly which is a mass organization of white leftist Worker’s World Party. Several speakers took to the microphone to demand justice for the murder of Korryn Gaines.

The African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) was at the event to expose the police terror faced by Africans in the U.S. and to deepen the question of Black Community Control of the Police.

Journalist and author, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill gave an interview to Power 105.1 FM’s The Breakfast Club on August 3, 2016 to discuss current events, most notably the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Hill echoed what the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) has repeatedly stated during the entire election season when he said that Democrats are using the possibility of Donald Trump winning the election as a way to scare black voters into voting for Hillary Clinton.
