http://www.guardian.co.uk



Black people are six times more likely to be arrested than white people for drug offences and 11 times more likely to be imprisoned, according to new research claiming to show the racial bias of the criminal justice system.



Although there is no evidence that black people use or deal drugs more than white people, the study reveals that the ethnic group was much more likely to be targeted.

Saggin Pants: S-A-G-G-I-N = N-I-G-G-A-S

Letter from a college student



The other day, a friend of mine visited me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the 2 boys wanted to 'talk' to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed hysterically because we are both 22 years old.



After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know… Continue

State Spending On Prisons See Rare Decline

CNN Money



The weak economy and dwindling stimulus funds are behind a rare drop in spending on prisons in many U.S. states, according to a study released Friday.

The study, which was funded by the Pew Center on the States, said spending on prisons… Continue

NINTH CIRCUIT DECISION OVERTURNS ARIZONA VOTER REGISTRATION LAW

MALDEF:



Court ruling comes one week before a critical national election and stands as a warning to anyone who seeks to deter or prevent voter participation



SAN ANTONIO, TX - MALDEF welcomed the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Gonzalez v. State of Arizona, striking down an Arizona law that restricted voter registration. MALDEF had challenged 2004 law, also known as Proposition 200, as unconstitutional and in violation of federal law because the law forced voters to meet onerous… Continue

Culture, Constitution, and Religious Conformity

By Ezrah Aharone



The Juan Williams incident and the rhetoric of Bill O’Reilly that caused Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to walkoff the set of The View, fan the flames of an unbroken theme in history where no other “belief” has arguably been as unifying yet divisive, peaceful yet violent as religion.



Although the proposed Mosque at Ground Zero is widening the gap of intolerance between some Christians and Muslims, the tragedy of 9-11 (which involved extremist Muslims) is no… Continue

First Amendment Woe For Activist North Carolina Judge, Democrat Beth Dixon

Twitter, Social Networks & The Court Room

Every industry is adapting to the internet, and now it seems one of the most traditional sectors of all is starting to think about its relationship with new media: the courts. Today I went to seminar at the Santa Clara Superior Court on new media and the courts, hosted by the Public Information Officer down there, with several judges and a few reporters in attendance. Mostly, the panel focused on this growing interest, stemming from what some judges and lawyers say are increasing challenges… Continue

Senator Takes On Governor over New Jersey's Medical Marijuana Laws

www.Change.org



The push back continues against New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's attempt to cripple his state's medical marijuana program before it even begins, with the sponsor of the original authorizing legislation introducing a measure this week that would force the governor to withdraw onerous draft regulations that critics say would make what was already set to be the nation's strictest medical cannabis program worthless to the patients who need it… Continue

False Rape Conviction leads to 22 years in prison and now an $18.5 million award

What does a former bank teller from the Bronx do with an $18.5 million windfall after spending more than two decades behind bars for a rape he did not commit?



Alan Newton isn't quite sure yet. A day after a federal jury in Manhattan ordered the city of New York to pay him the award for botching his case, Newton said the decision is still sinking in. "It’s been a long time getting to this point," Newton told msnbc.com in a telephone interview Wednesday. "I’m still going through mixed… Continue

October is Black History Month in the UK

This is the first time I am using the blog feature on the Black Talk Radio Network.
I feel that it's worth mentioning that October is Black History Month in the UK because I didn't
know it. Since we observe BHM in the US and Canada in February, many of you might not think to
check for info about Black folks in Britain and the former colonies in the month of October.
Heck, if we got it right we could work on extending BHM from the beginnibg of…

War in these streets and our soldiers seem to be MIA




DOWNLOAD PODCAST

There is a war going on in these streets and as we just celebrated the birthday of Malcolm X, I would hate to know what he would think about the lack of response of our young women and men being killed in these streets by thug ass murderous cops and thug ass murderous criminals in our communities. Children don't feel safe walking to school let alone going to school and yet there has been very little response from the community to meet the security needs. Union City cops shoot a brother 8 times in the back of the head and we ain't heard nothing from the people about it in corporate media.

How do you feel about the NOI bringing in white men from Scientology to teach their members non-African concepts and spirituality? What the hell is going on with them brothers and sisters? After seeing photos of one of these Scientology creeps taking the podium at a NOI meeting, many people are saying WTF!

An article came out today about the Mexican activist whom brother Malcolm Shabazz was with when he was murdered. It may answer some questions about who this man is but it does not answer the questions about what exactly happen that day and many have problems with his version of events.
 

BTR News: Stop the Genocide Now w/ Carl Dix


DOWNLOAD PODCAST
Tonight revolutionary brother Carl Dix joins the broadcast to inform us about an upcoming event he and Cornel West will be hosting in NYC to stop the maddening mass incarceration going on in the United States.

"Mass Incarceration + Silence = Genocide. Act to STOP it Now!" Monday May 20, 2013, 7:30pm, The Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew 263 W. 86th St (between Broadway and West End Ave), #1 train to 86th, For tickets: 212-691-3345 or online @ http://revolutionbooknyc.org

In 1996, Dix co-founded the October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of Generation. Most recently, Dix has been a central figure in the campaign to Stop "Stop and Frisk" aimed at opposing the New York Police Department's efforts to stop hundreds of thousands of people in New York City and frisk them for weapons, drugs or other items. Dix has long addressed questions about imperialist war, revolutionary struggles and the oppression of Black people.
Other news out of New York pertaining to the NYPD Gestapo & Frisk campaign against Black people. The newly appointed Black Chief of Department wastes no time in fulfilling his duties as a racially showcased weapon of mass confusion as he goes to a white borough to tell them Gestapo & Frisks is not racial profiling.

Keeping it in NYC, a bronx based Hispanic religious organization shows up to the Gestapo Frisk civil trial to show their support for a suspected racist NYPD Deputy inspector caught on tape telling officers to target Black boys and men.

Bro. Zayid Muhammad of the People's Organization for Progress joins us to discuss several issues related to political prisoners, exiles and the killing of Malcolm Shabazz.

POP is planning another protest at Cineplex 12, Newark’s only major theater which stirred up controversy after it refused to show the new film titled "MUMIA: Long Distance Revolutionary" which focuses on political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal and his contribution as an author and commentator.

We will also get his thoughts on the recent addition of Assata Shakur to the FBI's most wanted "terrorist" list and the erection of the FBI billboards of Assata in Newark.

Finally we discuss the constantly changing stories coming from the media about the killing of Malcolm X's grandson Malcolm Shabazz who was talked into traveling to Mexico by deported Mexican activist Miguel Suarez who many say has holes in his account of what happened.

The inquiry into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya by conservatives to this point has been little more than an expression of white supremacy and political theater. What the inquiry is saying is that only "American" lives matter and not the lives of the thousands killed in Libya or those that are still being killed and displaced from their homes due to ethnic cleansing by forces backed by the United States.
