Dr. Boyce: Redefining the word “Black” in “Black Friday” – Supporting OUR Businesses
 black scholar dr. Boyce watkins discusses buying black on black friday

by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Your Black World – Scholarship in Action

Most of us know all about “Black Friday.” That’s the commercially-conceived holiday when we act a fool in order to get a few discounts on things that we probably don’t even need.

War is a racket Libya, The Real Story

War is a racket Libya, The Real Story

The truth is viral

Bob Powell on AboveTopSecret.com’s The Truth Is Viral show claims that, under orders from a cabal of international bankers, the CIA trained and equipped al-Qaeda terrorists and set them on a path of revolution that ended with a new Libyan Central Bank and the black flag of al-Qaeda flying over the Benghazi courthouse.
