Pamela E. Harris (1953-2018), a fellow blogger better known here as Trojan Pam, passed away last February. I have been out of the loop of late and did not hear about it till last night. She stopped commenting here in early 2017 when this blog was a madhouse. If it were only that! Unfortunately she was having health issues.
Fortunately, she has left us four books, writing under the pen names Anon and Umoja (the blurbs below are from her bookstore where you can find out more. The books are also on Amazon):
Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation (2009) by Anon – exposes the falsehoods, myths, lies, and deceptions of the relentless economic, political, and social systems black people confront every day without understanding how they function, or all the different faces they wear. By exposing the 13 Weapons of Mass Mind Destruction hidden inside the deadliest Trojan Horse in human history, this book will confirm what many have always secretly suspected…
Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act (2011) by Umoja – reveals the SECRET WAR that has been waged against the Black Man, Black Woman, and Black Family for the last 500 years that has devastated black male/black female relationships, marriages, families, and communities — and what WE MUST DO to save them.
The Interracial Con Game (2011) by Umoja – On the heels of all this “black love is bad” news comes the mainstream media’s manufactured cure: interracial relationships. What is the REAL agenda behind the Interracial Con Game and why are blacks the main targets? “Debunking the Top Ten Interracial Myths” will provide some interesting — and controversial answers — and some long overdue food for thought.
The Beauty Con Game (2012) by Umoja – reveals how “beauty” — or the lack of it – has been used to justify the degradation, exploitation, oppression, and murder of black people — and how the SECOND DEADLIEST CON GAME in human history threatens the survival of ALL non-white people, and ultimately, of the planet itself.
And of course there is her blog, Racism Is White Supremacy (2012-17), which is still up.
She also appeared on the the C.O.W.S. podcast countless times.
As diaryofanegress noted:
“Pam is a light that shone brightly and a voice that spoke earnestly for her people. She did what she did because she loved us and believed in us.”
Requiescat in pace.

I didn’t know she had made her Transition. Much respect to her and I just purchased two of her books.

Thank you so much for doing this post. It was a shock to hear that a regular commenter of this blog had passed. I loved how she approached each debate or discussion with a sense of calm and purpose. Not to be wavered by anyone or anything. She will be missed.
I was not aware she was a writer, but most certainly will purchase her books.

Sad that we lost her. RIP Pam. I bought and read two of her books and previously corresponded with her via email. She offered important insights for understanding racism on multiple levels. Appreciate her contributions.
