The Problem is White Women
by Saab Lofton

"The Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate."
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., The Letter from Birmingham Jail

Prejudiced Against Fiction
by Saab Lofton

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world and all there ever will be to know and understand."
--Albert Einstein

... and I dare say Einstein is just a weeeee bit smarter than some of the fools I've had the misfortunate of dealing with over the years ...

Professor Zinn: the Yoda to my Obi-Wan
by Saab Lofton

"[Proof of intelligent, extraterrestrial life] unites Humanity in a way no one ever thought possible when they realize they're not alone in the universe. Poverty, disease, war -- they'll all be gone within the next fifty years."
--from the movie, Star Trek: First Contact

"Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them."

What Haiti Produces
by Saab Lofton

"Baseballs are coming along nicely. They're produced in U.S.-owned factories where the women who make them get ten cents an hour -- if they meet their quota. Since meeting the quota is virtually impossible, they actually make something like five cents an hour. Softballs from Haiti are advertised in the U.S. as being unusually good because they're hand-dipped into some chemical that makes them hang together properly. The ads don't mention that the chemical the women hand-dip the balls into is toxic and that, as a result, the women don't last very long at this work."
--Professor Noam Chomsky, from his book, Secrets, Lies and Democracy

Professor Chomsky won a 2005 poll which named him the world's top public intellectual, so he's most trustworthy.

Should The Mice Vote For The Cats?

One of the greatest speeches never known outside Canada. Tommy Douglas was voted Canada's most favorite son. He brought in Healthcare for all Canadians and removed the insurance companies from the picture.

On the night of August 1, at a Whitehall, Ohio Walmart, Virginia Dodson could not remember why she was sitting alone in a car. Coming to grips with her enclosed environment, it dawned on her that she did not know how to unbuckle her seat belt either. Panic began to take hold.

Interview with Saab Lofton

Lofton
I'm engaged in a unique form of activism
I'm boycotting day jobs
I will limit my means of income to things that befit my labor of love which is radical story telling.
In otherwords if I can't tell a story for a living, if I can't sell one of my comics for a living, then I won't live at all.
So no flipping burgers,no stocking shelves at Walmart. Eithe More..r I make it as an author, or I don't make it at all.

Henry Louis GatesA Better Class of Guardian

I got a story
That's harder than the hardcore
Cost of the holocaust
I'm talkin' 'bout the one still goin' on
--Public Enemy, from the rap, Can't Truss It

As I understand it, the royal guards at Buckingham Palace are instructed to withstand any insult -- so long as you don't actually, physically touch those guards, you can call them a bunch of Satan worshiping child molesters who drink rusty buckets of maggot-ridden diarrhea ...

Rewarding Bitchiness
by Saab Lofton

"If white men in my day did badly by Negroes, white women did worse."
--page 88 of Roxanna Slade, by Reynolds Price

Ralph Ginzburg's book, 100 Years of Lynchings, compiles hundreds of horrendous newspaper articles, but this particular atrocity stands out ...
