For
our August hiatus, we’ve prepared something
special for you,Ten
Years of BC: A Contemporary History. This
is recent history as viewed through the commentators
ofBlackCommentator.com,
some of the best writers and thinkers of our time.
What
were theBCwriters
saying in the run up to the 2008 elections? What
were their concerns? Have we as a country and a
people and the human race addressed them? What themes
continue today? What is different and what has remained
the same?
As
events unfold, it is easy to see the direction an
issue has taken through the lens of what has actually
occurred. For example, do you remember when BCcommentators
called for Single-Payer, Universal Health Care?
There was a time when that was the direction the
US could have taken. What you will read will give
you insight into how we may yet make it a reality
in the US.
Ten
Years of BC: A Contemporary Historydelves
into the plight of working people; the continuance
of war and the prospect for peace; the issues surrounding
how we educate our children; how we, as a people,
respond to catastrophe in New Orleans, Haiti, Africa,
or in the lives of the 99%. You will explore the
growth of the prison-industrial complex and how
that growth impacts your own life. InTen
Years of BC: A Contemporary History, you
will find the definitive companion to enhance your
own understanding of issues concerning economic
justice, social justice and peace.
We
hope you enjoyTen
Years of BC: A Contemporary History. Please

Exxon & BP: The Corporate
Continuum of Ecological Destruction By Jamala Rogers
My hope is that we look at
our energy problem in a holistic and comprehensive
way. It’s not solely about alternative energy
sources; it’s about a collective lifestyle
change; it’s about green policies on a global
scale; it’s about enforcing regulations
and creating new ones that address evolving issues;
and it’s about the accountability of corporations
to the planet.

hide it any longer.
What does an “illegal
alien” look like? By Bill Fletcher, Jr.
Do these “illegal aliens”
look like the undocumented Irish who flooded major

the major export from Ireland? Do they look like
the undocumented Eastern Europeans who I increasingly
see in restaurants and construction?
