South Africa getting on code with Malema, Botswana becoming an economic powerhouse, East Africa banding together, and West Africa evicting colonizers is a great sight. I think going forward, unless we gain political power, the US will deal Africa the harshest hand it’s ever dealt. Harsher than...

I listen to Tariq for both, I respect his perspective and his extensive knowledge of black history. Despite the criticism he gets I find him as a great introductory tool for unaware FBAs to the issues of reparations. I find it easier to show relatives Tariq to get them up to speed than breaking...

“ vote for the people that set you free, the Republican Party. Yeah people like Donald trump! “ Ellis Island Imbecile! I call them that because that’s where their lineage goes to; most of these Italians, Irish, Germans descend from flee-ers escaping famines and wars while our ancestors built...

All these inventions yet outside their homeland…

We had rhythmic songs that can be labeled primitive rap before Herc and most non-FBA even got here.

It is censored in favor of the establishment but currently ai technology is highly competitive and highly replicate-able, as Stanford student were able to rival GPT 3 for just $600. What this all means is the best ai platform will win at the end of the day and even if it doesn’t there will be...

What I don’t like about this situation is that missing black people are always looked over and the one time it gets coverage it’s fake.

Came here to say exactly this. Many blacks have been there since ancient Kemetic times and also the Axumite Empire ruled over that region for hundreds of years, same with Oman and Yemen.

Salute to your crew we need more communicating focus through music. It’s possible Bloods in LA pit out a track to stop Blood on Blood beef. I halfway get behind that but would love to see it pushed in general. The song I’m mentioning:

I used to be a staunch Pan Africanist, reading the likes of John Henrik Clarke, Cheikh Anta Diop, Ivan Van Sertima, etc. but the more I dived into Pan Africanism the more I viewed it as a one sided relationship. We just had an elder, Mutulu Shakur, transition who sacrificed his life trying to...

Yeah that’s said and that last sentence fully displays that. It harkens back to slavery when we had to sneak to read. The audacity of a white man to tell a young black man that.

Black athletes are groomed for white approval, which in turn breeds a coon mentality like Shaq, Barkley, Vick, or indifference towards white supremacy. Nowadays these stars start young and attend camps with other star kids and the children of the rich white elite. Once it’s time for high school...

I use Joe Biden as an example of the mainstream Democrats who do nothing for us. So I’ll ask you should we continue to vote for politicians who offer us nothing?

Your vote only has power when its worth something and voting for 1 party at 90%+ when they offer you nothing makes your vote worthless. All of these other groups vote red or blue within margins of 40%-60%, some even 30%-70%. Those are the margins that give voting power because they can be...

This puts reparations front and center as a political issue which is a win. Before I further that point I’ll address your remarks on not voting, the problem is both the politicians who offer us no tangibles and the people who blindly vote Republican or Democrat treating it as some sort of team...

Sorry to hear that brother, I wish you the best.

Why do I have a feeling it was whites that “introduced“ this man-killing and now invasive tree to Tanzania…

This talented brother Henry Thomas recorded the song in 1928 and the white group Canned Heat stole it in 1970 and blew up from it. They changed some lyrics but kept the cadence and completely stole Thomas’s flute solo. Keep in mind Thomas, the son of slaves, taught himself how to play flute and...

For centuries, we’ve seen music used as a powerful tool for uplifting Foundational Black Americans. In recent times we’ve seen how it could remove certain black minds from poverty (Nas, Jay Z, Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Snoop) but I’ll give an example going back to 1739 called the Stono Rebellion where...

Released July 11, 1972. As Tariq always says, the elements, laid out by the Foundational class, was already there.
