Luqman Nation

All these celebrations about Black people saving an election, the Senate, Congress, democracy, the country, the world mean nothing when liberals go back to brunch while our fight continues.

Representation matters for boosting self-esteem in children. Adults need to look beyond the window-dressing and analyze the politics behind the identieis.

Happy New Year! Nothing changes just because the date has changed. So the thing that needs to change is that YOU need to get to work.

We need to face the political realities of the day to be properly prepared for the struggle ahead. And the struggle is where our hope lies.

No, Trump isn't sincere about helping people. His demand for a bigger relief check is an attention-seeking strategic ploy. But the Democrats are so bad at their own strategy that they left themselves open for Trump to do this. And they didn't have to, if they weren't so busy crapping on the progressives in the party, and ultimately you and me.

These people are playing in our faces with all this money they're throwing around to everyone and everything else, while holding this paltry $600 for you and me hostage, and calling it "significant" while patting themselves on the back for ripping us off again. Somebody explain why we're not in full on pitchfork and torch mode yet!

Russiagate 2.0...or is it 3.0...is being deployed against already struggling Americans who the politicians that created the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression are using to deflect people's anger away from them. And I'm not just talking about Trump.

There are really no more valid reasons to keep the Electoral College. But Trump supporters who think the election was stolen from their fuhrer are not allies with us in this fight to do away with it.

The entire audio of the meeting between Joe Biden and the leaders of Black political organizations is indicative of the paternalistic, disrespectful, and condescending "relationship" between Biden and the Black people who dragged his half-dead carcass across the 270 finish line in this election. Nobody should be surprised, but the depth of disrespect is contemptible. But maybe not worse than the s...

The media won't even hold Republican voter suppression accountable, how are they going to hold Biden accountable? And if you thought Biden's COVID-19 plan was about saving you from coronavirus, think again.

Biden's choice for Secretary of Defense shows the ideological weakness of the immature and empty demand of "representation" in the positions of power in a capitalist, classist, racist, imperialist system. A Black face upholding the hegemony of US imperialism isn't progress for the Black masses.

The Democrats' terrible political strategy cost us dearly, and the anti-BDS rhetoric from Raphael Warnock is the latest in the campaign to separate Black Americans from international liberation struggles.

Sure voter fraud happens. But not in the way Trump wants to admit. And the real Black power that the legacy of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark left to achieve all power to the people, and not the Black buying power of Black Capitalism that today's celebrities hijack the movement toward liberation for.

Democratic politicians who won't stand up to the smear campaign against BDS and those who support Palestinian liberation do not deserve the support of the people who expect them to stand up for them.

Mr. Snappy Slogan for Hope and Change We Didn't Get steps fully into his role as the Crusher of Movements of the Masses that threaten to challenge the neoliberal corporatist hegemony of the Democratic Party by a base that is younger and frankly tired of the party's representational lip service.

The Islamaphobic egomaniacal nuclear superpowers of the US and Israel colluded to target an Iranian scientist in a brazen and disgusting act of aggression that could have only have been conceived by Islamaphobic egomaniacal leaders of nuclear superpowers - and the EU nations that are complicit with them - intent on maintaining their dominance.

If you're going to keep the tradition to gather with family (but not THIS year), at least spend it learning the truth about the history that is covered with this cornucopia of lies.

A few thoughts on the sticky situation Raphael Warnock in Georgia finds himself in, between his faith and imperialism trying to win an election inside the empire.

Yes, yes Trump is the main attraction in the horror show that was his administration. But what about all the enablers who cheered, and back-slapped, and sucked up, and just followed orders of his along the way? What about them?

Yes, it's great that Trump has ordered 2,000 troop out of Afghanistan. But that still leaves 2,500 there, and troops in Iraq, and he is still planning to allocate more billions for more war hardware. Only in an imperialist system where war is profitable would any tiny move that falls far short of actually ending war is seen as a win. It shouldn't be this way.

While Georgia recounts, let's set the record straight about Brad Raffesnsperger and the record of voter purges and suppression the GOP Secretary of State is a part of. Let's not make him a liberal hero just because he decided to stand up for something now.

The MAGA crowd can claim that they are protesting an allegedly stolen election, but what does assaulting Black and antifascist demonstrators and militias carrying firearms to demonstrations have to do with stealing an election? Unless...the election isn't the actual issue, but anger at the power they feel is being taken from them, and the people they believe is taking that power, is the REAL issue...

People will be asking this question for years to come, "Where were YOU when Biden won the election?" Where The Luqmans were is not only important in answering that question, but it is also an indication of where we'll be and what we'll be doing for the next four years, because it's what we've been doing for the last four. How about you?
