In the country of “freedom and democracy”, classes and races still live apart, separated by the walls of gated communities, the windows of resaurants and automobiles, and the invisible barriers a thousand times more difficult to traverse than Jim Crow laws. This is not a holdover from an earlier era, but an essential part of the Capitalist World Order, just like the walls that seperate...

Fragile White Ego Syndrome is a personality disorder common in North America. Patients base part of their self-worth on pride in being white – but it is a false pride that is easily threatened and therefore fragile. It is a desperate front, a house of cards, that must be defended at all costs.
To maintain this fragile white ego patients will:
Play up white accomplishments (inventions,...

A few thoughts on Syria.
Syria cannot be viewed with the same lenses which viewed Libya, Yemen, or any other Arab country in revolt. Unlike Egypt and Libya, Syria’s military will not likely defect, because most of the military are Alawites, as is Assad and his regime.
