By Bill Fletcher, Jr. NNPA News Wire Columnist The other day a friend of mine, after hearing the latest rants by Presidential candidate Donald Trump, asked whether we are better off with open expressions of racism than having such expressions silenced.

Message to the Black Man: We Must Do For Self – Part II
Universally Speaking I consider myself a “Garvey-ite” because Marcus Garvey was a master of this philosophy.
