➡️WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: TBU After Haiti got pawned in the US election Kehinde Andrews interviews Haitian-American filmmaker, Etant Dupain, about his new doc (film) "The Fight For Haiti." It tells the truth about the historical and current story around the Venezuelan PetriCaribe Oil Alliance scandal in Haiti. PetriCaribe was set up by former Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. A program for LAC countries (Haiti joined in 2006) to buy oil through a repayment plan for preferential prices, resell to its oil suppliers at international prices, and use the savings for development projects such as infrastructure, health care, and education. This was a chance for Haiti to invest in itself. However, billions of dollars from the fund were wasted, embezzled, and stolen by those entrusted with it, taking it from those who needed it most. The film amplifies the self-determined grassroots struggle of Haitian activists aka Petrochallengers, who put everything on the line to lead the fight against government corruption, impunity, and state-sanctioned violence. It also follows how politicians and oligarchs have attempted to use gangs to destroy the popular movement. Etant Dupain is a journalist and filmmaker. Etant founded an alternative media project in Haiti to enable citizen journalists to provide access to information in Haitian Creole for and about internally displaced people, aid accountability, and politics.  A FREE SCREENING of "The Fight For Haiti" will run next week (Nov 19) at the BLOC Cinema at Queen Mary's School of Law.

  In Episode 5155 of Outlawed Opinions, we dig into the heated questions shaping our community and our future. First up, with Donald Trump back in the picture, we ask: what could this mean for the country? Is America ready, and what impact could this have on Black communities?   We also tackle one of the most divisive questions out there: will Black Americans ever fully unite? Some say it's already happening – others argue it's a distant hope. Let's break it down and see where we stand.   Finally, we look at two recent viral moments that reveal the challenges and struggles Black men face every day. Watch the graduation fight (link below) and dive into “The Black Man's Burden” (link below) as we explore what these moments tell us about respect, resilience, and redemption.

After the US election this week, today's show host, Kehinde Andrews, links up with co-host Busayo Twins to weather this gloomy political climate and share some optimism for the future.  For this special feature, Busayo will be a regular cohost with Kehinde, where they chop it up about the politics of the day, highlighting the issues that matter and underlining their specific relevance to Black communities.

Thank YOU.  Busayo Twins is a thought leader doing political content online, including her show "Everything is Political" (get us all to realize that there is politics in most things we talk about or engage in) and Political Intrusive Thoughts. Busyao has been involved in the London School of Economics (LSE) Students' Union as both president and general secretary (social mobility and outreach stuff), president of the African and Caribbean Society at LSE, a strategic policy advisor at the Office for Students (working on closing attainment gaps), and community policy and strategy (at Black Curriculum), and most recently as strategic business development manager at ClearView Research (creating inclusive research).  BUSAYO SOCIALS LINKS (IG) @busayotwins (TikTok) @busayotwins SHOW LINKS Black Equity Org: "Our statement on Kemi Badenoch" https://x.com/BlackEquityOrg/status/1854528051071131658/photo/1  Operation Black Vote: Statement On Election of Kemi Badenoch to Leader of the Opposition https://www.obv.org.uk/blog-post/statement-on-election-of-kemi-badenoch-to-leader-of-the-opposition JOIN THE STRUGGLE>> THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK): https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ (IG) @harambeeobu (X) @HarambeeOBU (FB) OBUBirmingham Make it Plain - Black Education Community Resource Bank We are creating an educational community resource bank., to provide the education that Black children need.

In Episode 190 of the R.O.D. Podcast, we dive into one of our most thought-provoking conversations yet. Could the concept of slavery—something historically brutal and oppressive—hold a controversial potential to awaken unity, self-determination, and collective empowerment within the Black community today? In this episode, we explore why some argue that returning to these “chains” might be a catalyst for overcoming divisions, rejecting Euro-Christian ideologies, and rekindling solidarity against systemic injustices. Our goal is to examine both sides of this debate, asking hard questions like: How can unity thrive under oppression? Would modern-day adversity compel more people to recognize the real adversaries? Join us in this deep discussion that challenges beliefs, identity, and the struggle for Black liberation. Let's uncover if there's truth to this claim—or if it's simply a call for deeper self-awareness and empowerment.

➡️JOIN THE STRUGGLE + BECOME A MEMBER OF THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY (HOBU): https://www.blackunity.org.uk/membership In this week's Black Political Rant, Kehinde (@Kehinde_Andrews) discusses how we understand Monday's not-guilty verdict of Sgt. Martyn Blake's trial, a White MET police marksman who killed an unarmed Black man, Chris Kaba in 2022. Kehinde links this to other cases of Black men killed by the police, to-date UK stats on police killings of Black people; and the relevance of Malcolm's concept of "The Negro" that's still with us today. He makes plain that the racism of the police is the racism of the society. The police are as racist as the society allows them to be. We have the police force that society wants. The police, police with the consent of the racist society. The fears, prejudices, negative criminal stereotypical assessments, hallucinations, and "perceptual distortions" of the police are all features of the psychosis of Whiteness, a global phenomenon, that leads to our deaths.  In this week's Interview Kehinde talks with award-winning Sylvia Arthur (LOATAD founder) and Seth Avusuglo (LOATAD manager) from the Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora Archive. They discuss the origin, mission, and development of LOATAD, the difficulty of getting Black books on the continent, the writing residencies + more.  The Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora (LOATAD) is a decolonizing private library, archive, writing residency, research institute, and museum dedicated to the work of Afrikan and Diaspora writers from the late 19th century to the present day. Based in Accra, Ghana, it was founded by Sylvia Arthur in 2017 using 1300 of her own books. LOATAD's current collection contains around 4000 books by writers from 41 of Africa's 54 countries and Black authors from the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and around the world. LOATAD's mission: to celebrate and champion Africa's rarely acknowledged contribution to the global literary canon.

New Feature: Making Politics Plain W/Busayo Twins + No Further Action W/House Negro Case - S2 EP13 In this week's Black World News, the UK police have said there will be "No Further Action" in Kehinde Andrew's "house negro" non-case made by Calvin Harris in response to Kehinde's "It's not a crime to call a Coconut a Coconut" video calling out Calvin's "house negro" nonsense video on YouTube. Today is also Kehinde's late wife, Dr Nicole Andrew's birthday. Nicole passed away from triple negative breast cancer two years ago, a cancer that disproportionately kills Black women (three times more likely). Nicole's PhD (with no corrections!) was looking at how to make public health images of overweight and obesity with Black women, working with the Birmingham City Council and Lewisham. In honor of her birthday, on the Make it Plain YouTube channel we're resharing some content of Nicole, including a talk "Sistas in the Struggle: The Radical Feminism of the Black Panther Party" recorded during an International Women's Day. -This week, Kehinde Andrews is joined by official guest Busayo Twins for a new and potentially regular feature where they discuss Black issues of the day. This week they chop it up about the interesting intersections of gender (social activism as more of a Black woman's than Black man's duty), diaspora nationalism (being Black and identification with UK/US eg Black British and ADOS + FBA), the younger generation (their political engagement), "Black mixed race" identity (being the Black Mixed face of liberation campaigns), religion (Christianity and Israel-Palestine), class (uncoupling ourselves from capitalism), the need for community education today (an online resource bank) and of course Blackness (#BlacknessIsTheIntersection).  They may make this a regular feature so follow + subscribe to stay locked in for future episodes. - Busayo Twins is a thought leader doing political content online, including her show "Everything is Political" (get us all to realize that there is politics in most things we talk about or engage in) and Political Intrusive Thoughts. Busyao has been involved in the London School of Economics (LSE) Students' Union as both president and general secretary (social mobility and outreach stuff), president of the African and Caribbean society at LSE, a strategic policy advisor at the Office for Students (working on closing attainment gaps), and community policy and strategy (at Black Curriculum), and most recently as strategic business development manager at ClearView Research (creating inclusive research).  - Black World News Links Sistas in the Struggle: The Radical Feminism of the Black Panther Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rqScY7asQc Writing through the C-word: things I know for sure by Nicole Andrews https://make-it-plain.org/2023/03/21/writing-through-the-c-word-things-i-know-for-sure/ Calling a spade a spade: my police statement on naming the House Negroes by Kehinde Andrewshttps://make-it-plain.org/2024/09/23/calling-a-spade-a-spade-my-police-statement-on-naming-the-house-negroes/ It's not a crime to call a Coconut a Coconut by Kehinde Andrews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZkD-e-b6Iw&t=850s - Official Guest Links Calling a spade a spade: my police statement on naming the House Negroes (IG) @busayotwins (TikTok) @busayotwins Busayo Twins' “Everything is Political” trailer on Instahttps://www.instagram.com/reel/Cyh-KQeICIz/?hl=en Busayo Twins “Everything is Political” 21+?

"COCONUT TRIAL" LIVE REACTION W/NELS ABBEY + SCHOOLS ARE COPYING PRISONS - S2 EP12 ➡️Video (filmed by Shezal Laing founder of Sankofa Day) of the Marieha Hussain "Coconut Trial" Reaction w/Nels Abbey + Kehinde: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_3UwFsIdh3/ In this week's Black World News Kehinde Andrew has been looking at secondary schools for his son, Kadiri, which reminded him of how the schools are just prisons. He explains why some not all inner city secondary schools, with mostly Black and Brown kids, are just prisons designed to police mostly Black and Brown children. But the problem is the schools, not the kids because these schools are not a welcoming environment, the schools are not resolving things effectively and the schools not building relationships between children. Schools are historically designed like prisons and are designed by designers of prisons. To support this, Kehinde brings in and breaks down the concept of Total Institution popularised by White man sociologist, Erving Goffman. It's important to overstand that schooling is not education, we can't rely on the schools to provide the education that Black children need. We also need community education so we are going to create a resource bank to offer an alternative curriculum for Saturday School and Black Education, please send in your resource links to mip@blackunity.org.uk and we'll create a Black education resource bank. Kehinde will talk more about schooling stuff in next week's podcast episode when he chops it up with Busayo Twins ("sharer of intrusive political thoughts").  -In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde and Nels Abbey (his second appearance on the pod) share their immediate reactions to Marieha Hussein's "Coconut Trial" verdict and circus (recorded during an IG live straight after the trial). We've also got Kehinde's audio from his speech at the protest during the two-day trial.  - Nels Abbey is a British-Nigerian writer, media executive, and satirist. Before this, he worked as a banker. His debut book, “Think Like a White Man” was published in 2019. It contains satire of modern racial discourse and politics in the corporate world. It lays bare the rules by which mediocre White men get ahead. Nel's writings can be found in several major newspapers and magazines. His latest book, “Hip Hop MBA: what the Empires, moguls and Business of rap can teach the World” is out now. Nels is one of the co-founders of @blackwritersguild and a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. In addition to all of the above, @nelsabbey is a social and political commentator and can be seen contributing to debates on several major TV channels. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS ‘Emoji trial': Black man acquitted of hate crime charges over use of raccoon emoji in politician rowhttps://independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/black-man-hate-crime-raccoon-emoji-b2508680.html Total institutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_institution “This is an attack on our community”: Kehinde Andrews blasts police probe over ‘House Negro commentshttps://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2024/09/18/this-is-an-attack-on-our-community-kehinde-andrews-blasts-police-probe-over-house-negro-comments/ In last week's podcast episode, Kehinde gives an explainer about Britain's history of policing Black political thoughthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taE6h5olFYQ Will P.

No official guests this week, instead Kehinde Andrews drops some POLITICAL EDUCATION and cracks these coconuts for us, keeping us sane in a racist world. He highlights two recent, related, and ongoing events: he's facing a "house negro" police probe and Marieha Hussain's current "coconut trial" (taking place at Westminister Magistrates Court yesterday and today).  Kehinde is facing a criminal investigation after the police came knocking on his door thanks to a complaint made by Black conservative commentator Calvin Robinson about a video posted earlier this year in which Kehinde called Calvin a "house negro." Marieha is a Brown woman charged with a hate crime over a satirical and political placard depicting former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak and former home secretary Suela Braverman as coconuts during a pro-Palestinian rally last year.  Kehinde explains why we shouldn't be surprised at these charges, as there is precedent. He breaks down how the Race Relations Act came into law in England and Wales in 1965, and how 5 of the first 6 prosecutions in 1967, for racism under this legislation were against Black and Brown people. He underlines how from the very beginning, the British state was criminalizing us, by conflating prejudice with racism the law attacks prejudice. He concludes that the whole legal framework is the problem, quoting attorney and a co-founder of critical race theory (CRT), Derrick Bell "What we designate as “racial progress” is not a solution to that problem. It is a regeneration of the problem in a particularly perverse form." - POLITICAL EDUCATION LINKS Leading Black professor faces police probe after calling former GB News host Calvin Robinson a ‘house n*gro' https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/calvin-robinson-kehinde-andrews-youtube-police-b2607648.html Marieha Hussain: Protest outside court as ‘coconut' placard trial begins by Nadine White https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/marieha-hussain-coconut-placard-trial-b2611598.html Leila Hassan Howe: ‘My life was made hell.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde nearly got arrested. The police, a Black police officer (at that) politely invited Kehinde for a voluntary interview at the police station about a video he put online. The video was posted on YouTube two months ago called It's not a Crime to Call a "Coconut" a "Coconut." Posted in response to Marieha Hussain's arrest for carrying a placard during a pro-Palestine rally, depicting the faces of former Tory prime minister Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman, the former Tory home secretary, alongside coconuts under a tree on a beach. Since then she lost her job and was charged with a racially aggravated public order offense. Marieha's trial is next week: September 12, 2024, at 10 am, at Westminster Magistrates Court in London, and the rally will be around 9 am. Kehinde plans to be there. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde is joined by Erika Brown, co-host of the Broke-ish podcast, for a mashup between Make it Plain and Broke-ish podcasts (the recording will be available on Broke-ish at a later date).  They explore with respectful dialogue and disagreement: how to embody the values of the Black radical tradition in their work and podcasting and consider what public sociology and public scholarship are, and how they fit in as Black radical public intellectuals. They talk about the good, the bad, and the in-between. This podcast conversation has been partly funded by a grant Erika received from the Jane Nelson Institute for Women's Leadership at Texas University.  - Erika Brown started working in corporate America when she was 20 and built a career of almost 25 years in Marketing and Product Management. From the time she was a child, she vowed that no one would know more about her money than her. Erika lives with her husband and two daughters in suburban Dallas, TX where she enjoys chicken on the bone as much as possible. Erika is a PhD student in sociology at the Texas Women's University.  Broke-ish is about being broke—broke and Black in America. About all the unbelievable *ish that America has done to Black people to keep us in this broke-ish state.  How we've been in ways that personal finance tips and traditional financial literacy can't fix.  - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS It's not a crime to call a Coconut a Coconut, Kehinde's video on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZkD-e-b6Iw Policing terms like House Negro insults Black political thought, Kehinde's post on MIP https://make-it-plain.org/2021/02/19/policing-terms-like-house-negro-insults-black-political-thought/ - GUEST LINKS Broke-ish link tree https://t.co/piye1ySPrh Broke-ish Podcast https://brokeish.com/ Op-Ed in Yes Magazine False Prophets of Profit by Erika Brownhttps://www.yesmagazine.org/issue/truth/2024/09/04/false-prophets-of-profit - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome*) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

This week we're rerunning the final episode from S1 of the MIP podcast with a (first on the pod) cameo appearance from executive producer Weyland McKenzie-Witter explaining the rerun. In short, it's due to the award-winning undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts) in Black Studies (which Kehinde co-created) being shut down by Birmingham City Uni (BCU). A life-changing and grounding break course. This is an institutionally racist move that continues the attack on Black thought in higher education. FYI: BCU is still running the Master of Arts in Black Studies degree program for Sept 2025/26 entry.  In the interview from 2023, Kehinde Andrews asks a mixture of Black Studies undergraduates and MA students; hearing testimonies from Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte, from all three Black Studies degree courses at Birmingham City Uni about their experiences on the courses. The students featured are Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte.  - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Kehinde speaks on the BCU's undegrad Black Studies course cancellation https://x.com/kehinde_andrews/status/1827358975085453638 - GUEST LINKS Professor Kehinde Andrews (Kehinde.andrews@bcu.ac.uk) BCU Profilehttps://www.bcu.ac.uk/business-law-and-social-sciences/staff/sociology-and-criminology/kehinde-andrews Black Studies Research Cluster at Birmingham City University (BCU) https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/social-sciences/identities-and-inequalities/research-clusters/black-studies - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

Today's episode opens with Kehinde making the realities of Black studies in the UK plain. Despite winning an award for critical pedagogy, the undergraduate Black Studies degree at BCU is being discontinued due to low recruitment and financial constraints. We are also joined by Shani Akilah, a Black British Caribbean writer and screenwriter from South London.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the mirage of the Paris '24 Olympics (26 July 2024 – 11 August 2024) following his family road trip to Lille in France to watch live the (Black) Women of Team USA dominate the Japanese in basketball. He makes plain the assimilationist policy and color-blind approach of France to race; he debunks the myth of "Black" and "White" "genetic superiority" to explain their respective dominance in certain sporting and athletic activities eg Black people in track and White people in swimming. Finally, he makes plain the insidious nature of the patriotism and Diaspora wars in international sporting competitions. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dr Robyn C. Spencer-Antoine about her book The Revolution Has Come: Black Power, Gender, and the Black Panther Party in Oakland and the history of women (who made up over 50% of the party), gender, and power in the party. They also discuss her second book project, To Build the World Anew: Black Liberation Politics and the Movement Against the Vietnam War in the context of Palestine, settler colonialism, and the ongoing investment and buy-in of these land grab and dispossession projects. Finally, they touch on Patricia Murphey Robinson, a Black organizer, and psychotherapist who worked with people in many movements, and Dr. Robyn's work curating the @PATarchives on Instagram to spotlight how Patricia Murphy Robinson's unprocessed home archives reframe the Black radical tradition. - Dr Robyn C. Spencer-Antoine is a History and African American Studies professor at Wayne State University (WSU), Detroit, Michigan, where they're developing the Detroit Center for Black Studies. She's a historian of the Black freedom movements, an activist, a Black feminist, a daughter of the Diaspora, and a mother.  She is co-founder of the Intersectional Black Panther Party History Project and has written widely on gender and Black power.

CONTENT WARNING: Recent Sonya Lynaye Wilburn-Massey Police Murder + Racially Motivated Murder of Anthony Walker. - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain three news items. Firstly the recent unlawful murder of Sonya Massey by the police for no reason; and the need to center Black women killed by the police too (#SAYHERNAME). Secondly, he makes plain that Jamaica (and the Caribbean) is a prison colony. Third, he makes plain that probable presidential nominee Kamala Harris is not the solution to our problems; she's a Black face in a high place (#WhiteHouseNegro). She has no program, no solution, and will not do anything for Black people because the US president by design can't do anything for Black people.  - In this week's Black United Front interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dominque Walker, an ex-police officer, about Dominque's far-reaching abolitionist and antiracist work, particularly with the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation. Her work in academic spaces as a lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and with The Goddess Project, a Black women's group. They talk about Dominque's experiences of racism and sense of safety living and growing up in Liverpool in White-majority and Black & Brown-majority areas.  In 2005, when Dominque was 19, her brother Anthony Walker, 18, from Huyton, Liverpool, was brutally murdered by two White males Paul Taylor and Michael Barton on July 30, 2005. It was a racially motivated axe attack as Anthony walked with his cousin and his White girlfriend across McGoldrick Park in Huyton (a predominantly White area), Liverpool. In response, they, including her mum, Dr Gee Walker, founded the Anthony Walker Foundation to tackle racism, hate crime, and discrimination by providing educational opportunities, providing victim support services, and promoting equity and inclusion for all. They discuss the aftermath and the journey toward justice, which ultimately goes on until the offenders die and the trauma.  - Dominique Walker is a mum from Liverpool born and raised; chair of the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation (20 years in inception); co-founder of the Goddess Project a project that celebrates and centers Black women in Liverpool (with about 100 women involved); lecturer in Criminology and Policing Studies at the School of Justice at Liverpool John Moores University; and a PhD student (dissertation: Abolish Hate Crime Policing). For 11 years she was a hate crime and domestic violence detective with the Merseyside Police Protecting Vulnerable People Sigma Hate Crime Investigations unit. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Black women-led stream gets 90K viewers, raises $1.5M US for Kamala Harris in a few hourshttps://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/kamala-harris-black-women-zoom-1.7273791 Everything we know about the Sonya Massey shootinghttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sonia-massey-police-shooting-mental-illness-b2585416.html - #SayHerName Black Women's Stories of Police Violence and Public Silence by Kimberlé Crenshaw and African American Policy Forum, Foreword by Janelle Monáehttps://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1632-sayhername#:~:text=%22Reading%20%23SayHerName%20is%20an%20act,%2C%20a%20family%2C%20a%20community. #SAYHERNAME | AFRICAN AMERICAN POLICY FORUM | BLACK WOMEN ARE KILLED BY POLICE TOO   https://www.aapf.org/sayhername International Slavery Museum https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/international-slavery-museum - GUEST + BUF LINKS Anthony Walker: A life that left a legacy https://archive.voice-online.co.uk/article/anthony-walker-life-left-legacy Anthony Walker Foundation Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/awf19872005 Anthony Walker Foundation https://anthonywalkerfoundation.com/ The Goddess Projects  https://www.facebook.com/thegoddessprojects1 Dominique Walker - Staff Profile - Liverpool John Moores UniversitySchool of Justice Studies Faculty of Arts Professional and Social Studies https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/staff-profiles/faculty-of-arts-professional-and-social-studies/school-of-justice-studies/dominique-walker - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

CONTENT WARNING: Racialised Trauma - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain Trump's so-called assassination attempt (leaving one person dead and two wounded) and as Malcolm said of Kennedy's assassination, "it's chickens coming home to roost." However, it's not surprising as America is founded and sustained on political violence: the first violence of the genocide of native people, the second violence of enslaving us, and the third violence of kicking the British out with the American Revolutionary War. Much of the violence of the world today can be traced back to the US and Western imperialism. This is America, this is the West. This. Is. What. The System. Is.    - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Guilaine Kinouani a leading voice in Black psychiatry, psychology, and psychosocial studies in the UK. They talk about her work as a clinician, re-traumatizing mental health systems, being dissuaded from working as a clinician as well as dealing with her own trauma as a clinician with over 15 years of research and study including her books Living While Black and White Minds. They talk about the origin story of Race Reflections which started as a blog (now a social enterprise) about not being silenced, and how it developed. They highlight the Certificate in Working with Racial Trauma training.  - Guilaine Kinouani is a UK-based Paris-born woman of Afrikan (Congolese) descent; an award-winning critical and radical psychologist and group analyst, scholar, activist, and "[she] likes to think…a bit of a fashion connoisseur." Guilaine is also a current PhD (her second doctorate!) researcher, in psychosocial studies, and founder of the social enterprise, Race Reflections.  She's written three books: Living While Black: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma (2021 + Guardian Book of the Year), White Minds Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance (2023), and a third book Creative Disruption: Psychosocial Scholarship as Praxis is expected in November 2024. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS The Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump and Political Violence Waged by the U.S.https://blackagendareport.com/index.php/assassination-attempt-donald-trump-and-political-violence-waged-us The Jakarta Method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jakarta_Method Book Review: The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World by Vincent Bevins https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2020/07/29/book-review-the-jakarta-method-washingtons-anticommunist-crusade-and-the-mass-murder-program-that-shaped-our-world-by-vincent-bevins/ Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_mass_killings_of_1965%E2%80%9366 - GUEST LINKS Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma: A Conversation With Helping Professionals (Sign Up)https://racereflections.co.uk/events/open-day-certificate-in-working-with-racial-trauma-and-race-based-injuries-using-the-foundation-of-group-analysis/ Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma: A Conversation With Helping Professionals - Prospectus https://racereflections.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CWRT-JUNE-2024-w-dates.pdf Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma & Race Based Wounds Using the Foundation of Group Analysis – Curriculum  https://racereflections.co.uk/certificate-in-working-with-racial-trauma-race-based-wounds-using-the-foundation-of-group-analysis/ Guilaine Biographyhttps://racereflections.co.uk/about-the-author/ Living While Black The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/442992/living-while-black-by-kinouani-guilaine/9781529109436 White Minds Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance By Guilaine Kinouanihttps://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/white-minds Epistemic homelessness | Guilaine Kinouani | TEDxUCLWomen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoKBLPbkB5I&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fracereflections.co.uk%2F - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

Has there became a great disconnect between the black man and woman? the agenda to divide the black family? 

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the racism in continental Europe and how it hits differently to the UK; how Jamaica and other Black Caribbean islands (like Haiti) are not our home, they're prison colonies, and the solution: a global Black nation.- In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Mitchell Esajas "A Voice of Black Holland," from The Black Archives in Amsterdam. They talk about the great work the archive is doing to put the Black Dutch experience on the map. As well as the situation in Amsterdam, the far right rise, the Dutch king, prime minister, and the mayor of Amsterdam's apologies for enslavement. Not to mention the most popular Dutch tradition, Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) the years of resistance against the racist tradition, and the recent political development.   - Mitchell Esajas is co-founder and managing director of The New Urban Collective (NUC), a social enterprise and network for Black and POC, that manages The Black Archives (where Mitchell co-leads day-to-day activities). The Black Archives is an archive with more than 10,000 books and documents, exhibition space, and a cultural center. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Kick Out Zwarte Piet is calling it quits, it's now up to societyhttps://www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikelen/kick-out-zwarte-piet-stopt-ermee-het-is-nu-aan-de-samenleving Presence of far-right MP Martin Bosma dishonours 1 July commemoration!https://www.theblackarchives.nl/blog/aanwezigheid-extreem-rechts-kamerlid-martin-bosma-onteert-1-juli-herdenking?lang=en - GUEST LINKS Atlanta Season 2 Episode 4: "Helen""I'm not wearing Black face" clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr5dz8tgjC4 The Black Archives WebsiteThe Black Archives consists of unique book collections, archives and artifacts that are the legacy of Black Dutch writers and scientists. https://www.theblackarchives.nl/home.html The Black Archives Linktree https://linktr.ee/the_blackarchives The New Urban Collective https://www.nucnet.nl/ Broke-ish (Erika Brown + Amber Sims) In the Broke-ish space, we talk about being broke—broke and Black in America.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the "All eyes on Congo" image trending recently after the "All eyes on Rafa [a Palestinian city in the southern Gaza Strip]" AI-generated image went viral. Kehinde says we need to have eyes on Congo due to the conflict, and child labor exploitation for corporate resources. But, the reality is that the resources being mined at poverty wages are predominately minerals used for batteries in smartphones and laptops that we use in the West. This is the paradox we're tangled in of living in the West. Kehinde says that the first step is acknowledging our complicity, but we can't just sit back and tweet about Congo + Neo-colonialism, that's not enough. That's the house negro mentality. We need a field negro mentality. We need to build alternatives that can sustain us, and we are trying. We're building the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity for Malcolm's 100th birthday and we're having a convention on the continent in Gambia, the Congress of Afrikan People (CAP -May 17-19, 2025).  - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Charisse Burden-Stelly aka Dr. CBS about criminalizing pro-Palestine encampments and uprisings, particularly Black students and activists; squaring the circle of working in university as a Black radical intellectual; her new book Black Scare/Red Scare that lifts the ways marxism isn't just White people shit; and on being a Rodneyist. - Dr. CBS is an associate professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University, a critical Black Studies scholar, book author, co-editor, and a member of the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) and Community Movement Builders (CMB).  - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS "All eyes on Kongo" imagehttps://bsmedia.business-standard.com/_media/bs/img/article/2024-05/31/thumb/featurecrop/600X300/1717159665-9211.jpg "All eyes on Rafah" image tweet https://x.com/Shayan86/status/1795789706501787707 - GUEST LINKS Dr. CBShttps://www.charisseburdenstelly.com/ Dr. CBS Five Walter Rodney Quotes I Lovehttps://www.charisseburdenstelly.com/blog/8-five-walter-rodney-quotes-i-love Dr. CBS' New Book Black Scare / Red Scare Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United Stateshttps://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/B/bo207945104.html - MIP LINKS CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

WELCOME BACK TO THE MAKE IT PLAIN PODCAST - Thanks for coming back! If you slept on S1 you can return to our earlier episodes (S1 was funded by the Evens Foundation in Europe, themed on Black Studies, featuring Patricia Hill Collins, Kimberlee Crenshaw, David Harewood + more).  This is S2, and we're taking a slightly different tact than S1. We'll still be interviewing official guests in academia, politics, and elsewhere. What's new is that we'll also be talking to interesting people on the ground from organizations on the Black United Front (BUF, a directory of Black orgs across the globe that Make it Plain has begun developing). - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the House Negro nonsense of the coconut trial of Mariah Hassan, a person who was charged with carrying a placard that pictured Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as coconuts. This isn't up for debate, this is not a criminal offense it's a defense of the Black radical intellectual tradition. Kehinde also makes plain the general election, the ways you can and can't represent as a Black MP, and the myth and propaganda of the Black Vote. Not discounting our influence in marginal seats, the myth of the Black vote is a really bad way of understanding Black political power. Kehinde makes plain a better (local, national, and global) way of understanding politics through a Black mass membership international organization. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with George the Poet (featuring his son in the background hehe) about his new book Track Record. George shares a section of the book that never made it to his book, "The Anti-Afrikan." They also discuss, turning down an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) honor, despite it "opening doors" and networking opportunities (but the question is, "which doors?" and"whose doors?").   - George the Poet AKA George Mpanga is a multi-dimensional man with lived experience and a London-born spoken word performer of Ugandan heritage. His innovative brand of musical poetry has won him critical acclaim both as a recording artist and a social commentator. George is also a husband, father, and Cambridge graduate. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS It's not a crime to call a "Coconut" a "Coconut." Professor Kehinde Andrews explains why the terms Coconut, House Negro, Coon, and Uncle Tom are vital expressions of Black political thought that should be celebrated and not policed. Drawing on work in his book 'The Psychosis of Whiteness' this is a handy guide through the use of the words complete with many examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZkD-e-b6Iw - GUEST LINKS George the Poet https://www.georgethepoet.com/ George's book: Track Record Delving into the music scene and iconic films from his childhood, as well as crucial political and economic moments in history, this book provides the backstory of where we are today.

In this eye-opening episode of 'What I Know Now,' we delve deep into the heart of the black community's economic and social challenges with renowned activist Jakari Richardson. As our special guest, Jakari unveils the stark realities of growing up amidst the scarcity of black businesses and opportunities, and how this environment fuels a cycle of mass incarceration and crime. This episode is not just a narrative of hardships but a beacon of hope and a call to action. Join us as Jakari discusses the transformative power of psychological enlightenment and education in breaking the chains of systemic oppression. Discover the power of unity and resilience as Jakari and Bilal share the untold therapeutic aspects of barbershop conversations – a sacred space where black and brown men find connection, healing, and self-discovery. These candid talks reveal not only vulnerabilities but also spark crucial dialogues about identity, history, and empowerment. In their journey of self-reflection, our hosts Joel and Cole unravel their own defining moments when they discovered their profound connections to history and its impact on their roles today. The team uncovers the troubling disconnect between African Americans and Africans, dissecting the stereotypes and educational divide that shape their perceptions of one another. Riveting and insightful, this episode draws you into the world of activism beyond the front lines of protests and into the everyday acts of establishing community businesses and promoting black love and unity. Jakari challenges us all, sharing his quest to forge meaningful connections across diverse mindsets without offense, while illustrating the cultural bonds with his African heritage. From the influence of family and community to the unyielding pursuit of sharing knowledge, Jakari's story sheds light on the overlooked histories and legacies of black figures – the known and unknown heroes like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Marcus Garvey, and Claudette Colvin. Confronting the decline of the black family unit against the sharp rise of incarceration and economic turmoil, 'What I Know Now' paints a compelling picture of the past's grip on the present. This episode is not only an exploration of activism and identity but also serves as a clarion call to reclaim history, overcome internal divisions, and foster an enduring legacy of strength and solidarity.

The rapper Method Man is legendary, largely due to the extraordinary work he did with a group called "The Wu Tang Clan." I took a moment to address some deep and interesting remarks that Method Man (aka Clifford Smith) made on social media regarding why he's chosen not to tour with the group any longer. In the brief discussion, Meth simply says, "I have options." This statement got my attention not only as a person who teaches Stock Options on a regular basis, but also because as black people consistently seeking freedom, it's important for us to understand why the word "options" is so critically important in our quest for freedom. I spoke about the issue today on The Black Financial Channel and you can watch the video here.
