Carol from Kansas City shares some priceless family stories, including her superhero origin story. It involves her mom sitting on a convertible in a poodle shirt and saddle shoes, smoking a cigarette, and her dearly departed Aunt Gene immediately becoming the favorite daughter-in-law. Paulie goes first and talks about his dislike for inexperienced workers in charge of gatekeeping and hiring in Human Resources. He questions how someone with no life experience or work experience can determine whether or not you get to meet the hiring manager. Carol agrees that those who are unqualified for work often end up in HR. Arik has an American African friend and needed to let everyone know. Also, he can be a white savior to help her get past the completely racist state of South Carolina. And, he is probably right. It is one fucked up state. Paulie adds that teaching experience seems to be seen as a liability in any HR department worldwide. Carol then wonders why some customers don't understand why contractors can't work in the rain. She explains that if the roof comes off, you'll get wet. This leads Arik to discuss property management companies and their lack of knowledge in differentiating between squirrel holes, raccoon holes, and glory holes. He mentions a certain inspector named Billy Bob who may be related to either the animals or the property management company. Ultimately, no one should give a rats ass about the topics discussed on The Hate Napkin podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehatenapkin/support

Now you know we had to get together and talk about the Montgomery Sweet Tea Party, or the Montgomery Uprising, or...our personal favorite..."the Fade on the Water". As we share our feelings of shock, awe, pride, and elation, we also try to place this monumental event within a long legacy of the American African's rebellion against racist aggression and white supremacy. We also share some graphic novels that work as great companions to discussions we might have about the events in Montgomery with our children.

Dr. Matthew Delmont explains the complicated and distressing history of African-American participation in World War II at home, and in the war theaters. Discrimination was rampant and inexcusable. African-Americans had to fight for the right to fight in the military. And war industry jobs were just as segregated (sometimes more so) than during peacetime. Episode 501.

Episode 015: Black History Month.What is Black History Month and why is it celebrated? Black History Month (originally known as African-American Heritage Month) really dates back to 1915 when Carter G. Woodson, known as the ‘Father of Black History' and the pioneer of African American studies in the early 20th century, created an organization called the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. And in 1926, Woodson initiated the first Negro History Week in February, specifically because of two significant birthdays: Frederick Douglass (February 14) and Abraham Lincoln (February 12). The main focus of the Negro History Week was to encourage the teaching of the history of Black Americans in educational institutes, particularly at the primary level. However, most school systems around the country ignored the curriculum or denied the need to teach it.However, more than 40 years later, in 1969, Black educators and students at Kent State University in Ohio proposed a month-long observance to reflect on more than 400 years of American African history and heritage that have shaped the American culture, and the first Black History Month took place one year later in 1970. And by 1976, Black History Month was widely being celebrated across the country, and not only in schools, but in colleges, and community centers. I'm torn. Does it matter? Does it truly matter? Black History Month began as a way to remember significant people and events. But we are still mistreated or treated as 3rd class citizens in the USA. And I feel, that as punishment for helping to elect our first Black President, the USA is going backwards; actually retreating into the Jim Crow era or worse...You see, I never watched the George Floyd video, nor did I watch the Ahmaud Arbery video or any of the others or the trials – or even the Rodney King beating - because I see the killings and the brutality in my nightmares. I saw it as a child growing up in the 60s and every year that has passed since, I was even a victim a time or two (and survived, obviously) but no thanks to the racist cops that I met driving while Black. It just added to the PTSD I've been suffering since childhood. And obviously, absolutely nothing has changed a half-century later.So to me, Black History Month (year, century, millennium), it does not matter any more. It never did, really. I mean, I appreciate what the month was supposed to do and I appreciate the allies that stop by to express their opinions online, in emails, and in videos, the conversations that sparked better representation, identity, and diversity in America's history but… as long as we are feared, they will never stop hunting us and hating us.I watched a young poet's video the other night, Kyla Jenee Lacey, and it made me tear up. Here's some of what she had to say: We learned your French, we learned your English, we learned your Spanish. We learned your Dutch, your Portuguese, your German. You learned our nothing, yet you call us stupid...Follow me on The Slow Traveling Soul Sister podcast is sponsored and hosted by SelfishMe Travel.

In one of my favorite episodes that revolved around identy, Zenab touches on being a "third culture kid," pressures of appearances in African households, struggling with identity, code-switching, and the work that was done to embrace all of who she is.

Slavery and The PlantationSugar plantation in the British colony of Antigua, 1823Planters embraced the use of slaves mainly because indentured labor became expensive. Some indentured servants were also leaving to start their own farms as land was widely available. Colonists tried to use Native Americans for labor, but they were susceptible to European diseases and died in large numbers. The plantation owners then turned to enslaved Africans for labor. In 1665, there were fewer than 500 Africans in Virginia but by 1750, 85 percent of the 235,000 slaves lived in the Southern colonies, Virginia included. Africans made up 40 percent of the South's population.According to the 1840 United States Census, one out of every four families in Virginia owned slaves. There were over 100 plantation owners who owned over 100 slaves.The number of slaves in the 15 States was just shy of 4 million in a total population 12.4 million and the percentage was 32% of the population.Number of slaves in the Lower South: 2,312,352 (47% of total population) 4,919 million.Number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208,758 (29% of total population) 4,165 million.Number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population) 3,323 million.Fewer than one-third of Southern families owned slaves at the peak of slavery prior to the Civil War. In Mississippi and South Carolina the figure approached one half. The total number of slave owners was 385,000 (including, in Louisiana, some free African Americans), amounting to approximately 3.8% of the Southern and Border states population.Tobacco fieldOn a plantation with more than 100 slaves, the capital value of the slaves was greater than the capital value of the land and farming implements. The first plantations occurred in the Caribbean islands, particularly, in the West Indies on the island of Hispaniola, where it was initiated by the Spaniards in the early 16th century. The plantation system was based on slave labor and it was marked by inhumane methods of exploitation. After being established in the Caribbean islands, the plantation system spread during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries to European colonies in the Americas and Asia. All the plantation system had a form of slavery in its establishment, slaves were initially forced to be labors to the plantation system, these slaves were primarily native Indians, but the system was later extended to include slaves shipped from Africa. Indeed, the progress of the plantation system was accompanied by the rapid growth of the slave trade. The plantation system peaked in the first half of the 18th century, but later on, during the middle of 19th century, there was a significant increase in demand for cotton from European countries, which means there was a need for expanding the plantation in the southern parts of United States. This made the plantation system reach a profound crisis, until it was changed from being forcing slave labour to being mainly low-paid wage labors who contained a smaller proportion of forced labour. The monopolies were insured high profits from the sale of plantation products by having cheap labours, forced recruitment, peonage and debt servitude.

On this episode of Etch The Edges we lean deep into what many of us call Black Excellence. As a proud American-African (to explained more deeply in a later episode) it warms my heart to talk a tale of success and uplift. John Hurt owns eleven McDonald's establishments on the South East side of the Metro Atlanta area. He's also the President and CEO of a Sleep In & Suites in West Georgia. As we say on Etch The Edges stories matter, they humanize of course, but more importantly they inspire, and in a world where young people of color need to know that opportunities exist for them, that the American Dream though hard to achieve for anyone, but for them most especially must be achieved over the high barrier of inequity and still unrealized full equality, the dream can still be realized, unbought and fulfilled through knowing, sharing, acting, and paying some of it back in order to pay if forward. Listen as we talk the real with John.

In today's episode host Andi Johnson talks to Rick Greene about his decision to be a living kidney donor. He shares his personal story of taking step by step to line up for a perfect match.    Episode Highlights:  Andi asks Rick to share his story and what led him to the place where now he wants to help someone as a living kidney donor. Rick says he had a habit of grabbing the TV remote when he got home. In 2014, one night on entertainment tonight, he saw Marvin Gaye seeking a kidney donor. Rick reached out and called the number, after 4 days he went for the testing. Marvin's wife informed Rick that six people before him were rejected because of poor matching. Rick says he doesn't believe in his body anyway, and he only believed that all belongs to God. Post donating his kidney, Rick says his surgeon told “The more you walk, the more you will heal.” Slowly he started feeling better each day. In seven years, “Have you had any issues as a result of donating a kidney?” asks Andi. Andi asks Rick, what would he say to someone who is considering being a living kidney donor? Rick says he and Marvin Gaye III talk all the time, and he is doing great. By the grace of God, he got his life back. Andi applauds Rick for all he has done and says he is a giver, and it feels like God has moved him to a place where he can help people. Rick and Andi agree to a simple and right message that is “Choose Love.” Rick says we make things more complicated than they need to be. Everyone should pray about it and talk to God about it; If you can be considered as an organ donor and if you are comfortable donating, do it, says Rick. Do you feel like you inspire other people to do what you do by sharing your story? Andi asks Rick. Rick says he prays that people would consider donation and how it could bless someone to move forward in life.   3 Key Points:  Rick talks about the donation and healing process so that people can understand more about what it means to be a living kidney donor. Andi asks Rick for his opinion about “Why many people of color, specifically American African's, don't want to donate their organs?” We learn to share and exchange information, and that is how we help and support one another, says Andi.

He is both an American African and an African-American. He was raised Muslim and is now an atheist. He is an outsider and an insider. He is a prolific writer, with almost 100,000 followers on Quora, where he is known for having fascinating perspectives on a range of issues, often supplemented with lots of charts and data. I was wondering who I could talk to about the recent pandemic, #BLM protests, and how the events of this strange year will play into the upcoming US election, and I immediately thought of Habib. And it was totally worth it. This was a fascinating conversation about the hottest topics of the day. Habib's book, "A Gazelle Ate My Homework," (you've already read the subtitle above) is out now.

How can we engage with dismantling racist power structures as healers? Thymelights:Here are groups I'd like to shoutout now, with a focus in empowering black people/communities:Femme Empowerment Project—This BIPOC-led project is hosting street medic trainings for folks on the ground in Minnesota. As healers, we have the ability to come prepared, mentally and with equipment, to protests. We can put ourselves in the role of the ones tending to protesters who have been assaulted. I find the Femme Empowerment Project's work to be highly relevant. They also organize and host many workshops relevant to the needs and questions of queer, trans and intersex BIPOC.BEAM / Black Emotional and Mental Health—Emotional wellness and mental health is at the forefront of the work we as healers do for others. BEAM is focused on the many lenses of healing, from therapy, to yoga, to artwork, and provides these resources for the purpose of healing the black community.The Innocence Project—It is clear that the systemic abductions of black people from their families and communities, to fund the prison system, is a deeply harmful pipeline in our country. We must correct the staggering disproportions of black people and POC from poor communities being funneled into incarceration. The Innocence Project thoroughly organizes to exonerate, educate, and legislate our way to a just world. I am personally donating to all of these groups, and I encourage those of us in the healing arts who have the means to do the same!-Anastasia Hanson   Thymelights:https://www.instagram.com/femmeempowermentproject/https://www.instagram.com/_beamorg/https://www.instagram.com/innocenceproject/Staj Hanson LinksLinks Mentioned in the show:https://stajhanson.com/https://www.instagram.com/stajhanson/Other links for this episode:https://www.amazon.com/Seventy-Eight-Degrees-Wisdom-Book-Tarot/dp/1578634083:https://onbeing.org/programs/resmaa-menakem-notice-the-rage-notice-the-silence/Let’s Be Friends!

The similarities between George Floyd's death in Minneapolis and Faizan's  death in Delhi are striking. George Floyd, an unarmed man was pinned down on the road, by the knee by a police officer backed up by three other cops. Faizan and four others also unarmed, showing signs of injury, also lying on the road, being kept down by the lathis of 5-6 policemen gathered around them. George Floyd was an American-African, a community which is often at the receiving end of police brutality in the US. Faizan was Muslim a minority increasingly at the receiving end of police violence in India. But here's where the differences start. The cop who choked George Floyd to death, officer Derek Chauvin had been charged with murder in the 3rd degree, and dismissed from service along with his three colleagues four days after the incident. While in Faizan's case, the policemen who were caught on camera assaulting and abusing him and his companions have been charged with nothings even months after the incident. What is shockingly and shamefully clear is that Yeh Jo India Hai Na, here the police can get away with anything, even murder.   While the civil society in the US is up in arms about the police brutality and implicit racial profiling that led to George Floyd's death, urging immediate, transparent legal action, here in India, the tragic and brutal killing of Faizan has been all but forgotten.  VO: Rohit Khanna

4 COMMON ISSUES IN RELATIONSHIPS- AMERICAN WOMEN & AFRICAN MENWelcome and thank you for reading this blog post. This write-up will talk about some of the common problems in relationships with American/African men. By tackling these issues early on, you will stay on the path to a healthy relationship with your African man. No solid communication- Some ladies are scared to tell their man the truth regarding different things. It could be hygiene, sex or a habit that is annoying. It is important to communicate with your man on a calm level and tell him what is on your mind. If you don't know what to say, you should look up YouTube videos on "how to communicate in a relationship with a man". One man told me in confidence that he didn't know why his woman became very distant sexually and he tried asking her and she didn't tell him only avoided him. I started working with this man and noticed several things. He had very poor hygiene and when I asked him some questions about romancing his wife, he shared he doesn't really do nice things for her. Had his woman told him the problems, I believe he would've improved for her love. He couldn't improve because he didn't know what was the problem. I didn't mention his mistakes to him, because I didn't feel it was my place to convey that to him at that moment and plus I was working for him lol. No Respect- It is very important to respect the man that you are with. If he is wrong about something, don't yell scream or get violent. Calmly tell him what the issue is without insulting his heritage, tradition or him in general. Although there are some African men that don't tolerate disrespect, I have seen some that are treated like a dog by their women. I noticed the ones that don't have their papers being maltreated by some American women. My ex-husband's friend didn't have his papers and his wife would mistreat him and throw him out of the house all because of trivial things. He worked very hard, and I discerned he was a nice man but for some reason, he could never leave this monster of a lady. No Honesty- This virtue is very important to have. Broken hearts happen when there is no honesty and that leads to distrust. This goes both ways. So some people out here withhold their STD status and lie about other things to avoid early on rejection from their partner. However, down the road, the truth is discovered and this rocks the relationship to the core. Being upfront from the get-go can help your relationship have a solid honest foundation. Lack of understanding the culture- I remember coming home from working 12.5 hours & getting into a heated argument with my ex-husband over him cooking a dish from Guinea (his family is from but he was born in Senegal). The dish looked like an okra stew and when he put a certain spice in it, the smell was overwhelming. I told him to trash the fresh food that he just made because my house would have this odor. Upon hearing this, we both got into a screaming match about this food. He stated, "you know I am from Africa, why do you have an issue with this, you know it is in my culture"! Looking back, I see I made a bad mistake. I could've asked him calmly if he could close the kitchen door and opened the windows or worked out some kind of solution to avoid having an argument about this food. Well, that concludes today's message. Thank you for reading. Please share the blog post and subscribe to the YouTube channel.

As an American African, part of Moji's deschooling journey has been unlearning and pointing out white supremacy in all it's hidden forms.  In this episode Moji uses bits of the book "The Invention of Women: Making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses" to emphasize the need to disrupt supremacy and colonization in gender activism and activism in general. Moji asserts that American schools and culture are rooted in white supremacy and ignorance and western activism can lead to low-key colonization, and offers a space to unlearn habits of supremacy that lead to intellectual & ideological colonization and marginalization of cultures of color.      Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/akilah)

This interview with Ugandan artist Ruyonga, formerly known as Krukid, is an in-depth discussion on the artist’s perspective on the Black experience, relations between African Americans and Africans in America, his issues with the Black Panther film, being a Christian MC, and his perspective on laws and politics in Uganda. Ruyonga studied in the U.S. in the early 2000s. He began rapping in Uganda before coming to the States, and he established an underground career in the U.S. and became known for his distinct sound and strong lyrical ability. After almost a decade in the US, Ruyonga returned to Uganda. He changed his name to Ruyonga and built his career as a Christian rapper. After a long stay Ruyonga has an interesting perspective on being an African immigrant in America, and the tensions between African and African American communities. He talks about those tensions from an African immigrant perspective, and comments on the diverse racial and ethnic dynamics he saw in different parts of the United States. The conversation turns towards pop culture and race and Ruyonga has strong feelings about the Black Panther and the representations of Africans in the film, and Hollywood’s presentation of the Black experience. Ruyonga also opens up about his views on race, Black pride, and feminism, as well as his views on the ways different groups of people have been pitted against each other. Part of the conversation includes the artist’s views on some of Uganda’s more controversial laws regarding women and sexuality, especially the infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Still a strong lyricist, Ruyonga now uses Christianity as the vehicle with which to express his lyricism. His latest release is Voice Of My Father, and follows an impressive body of work that spans over 10 years.

Education in the 21st Century Dr. Amos N. Wilson (September 19, 1941 – January 14, 1995) was a pioneering American African psychologist, social theorist, Pan-African thinker, scholar and author. Born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in 1941, Wilson completed his undergraduate degree at the acclaimed Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, mastered at The New School of Social Research, and attained his doctorate degree from Fordham University. Wilson understood and taught the power differential between Africans and non-Africans is the major social problem of the Twenty-First century. He taught this power differential, and white “racist” attitudes, as principally responsible for the existence of racism, domination, oppression, and deprivation in the lives and interpersonal relations of American Africans, Continental Africans and other Diasporic Africans. “When we get into social amnesia - into forgetting our history - we also forget or misinterpret the history and motives of others as well as our motives. The way to learn of our own creation, how we came to be what we are, is getting to know ourselves. It is through getting to know the self intimately that we get to know the forces that shaped us as a self. Therefore, knowing the self becomes a knowledge of the world. A deep study of Black History is the most profound way to learn about the psychology of Europeans and to understand the psychology that flows from their history. If we don't know ourselves, not only are we a puzzle to ourselves; other people are also a puzzle to us as well. We assume the wrong identity and identify ourselves with our enemies. If we don't know who we are then we are whomever somebody tells us we are." Friday, January 5, 2015 @ 5pm pacific time or 8 pm eastern time. 661-467-2407 and press 1

John Henrik Clarke (born John Henry Clark, January 1, 1915 – July 16, 1998),  a Pan Africanist, American-African writer, historian, professor, and pioneer in the creation of Africana studies and professional institutions in academia starting in the late 1960s. Also a Professor of African World History and in 1969 founding chairman of the Department of Black and Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York. He was the Carter G. Woodson Distinguished visiting Professor of African History at Cornell University's Africana Studies.  In 1968 along with the Black Caucus of the African Studies Association, Clarke founded the African Heritage Research Association. He said: "History is a clock that people use to tell their time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are, but more importantly, what they must be." We must remember the ancestors and listen to thier words of wisdom...Please enjoy!
