Karl Marx wrote in Capital that capitalism came into the world “dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.” The Thanksgiving holiday is built around an insidious and false creation myth -- that the so-called “settling” of North America was a peaceful and amicable process. But in reality, the genocidal expansion of colonialism across the continent led to unspeakable suffering and death for Indigenous peoples. What is the real story of the birth of U.S. capitalism?

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I'm Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford. Coming up: Dr. Gerald Horne's new book explores the roots of white supremacy and capitalism, centuries ago, in colonialism and the slave trade. And, Malcolm X changed the way Black people saw themselves and their place in the world. We'll discuss a new book on Malcolm, title “Black-Minded.” But first – a Minneapolis judge is moving towards jury selection in the second degree murder trial of the policeman that killed George Floyd, setting off protests that put tens of millions in the streets. At the height of the turmoil the Minneapolis City council talked about getting rid of their police force in its present form. But Sam Martinez, of the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar Clark, says there's been no movement towards defunding or abolishing the police, and what's needed is community control of the cops. Unprecedented numbers of Americans of all races now claim to be part of the Black Lives Matter movement. But Americans, in general, know very little about the historical development of white supremacy. Dr. Gerald Horne is a professor of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston, and author of more than 30 books. His latest volume is titled, “The Dawning of the Apocalypse: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long Sixteenth Century.” If you want to understand why Black Lives don't matter under the current system, says Dr. Horne, look to the events of five centuries ago. More than a half century ago, Malcolm X left his indelible mark on the Black American mind. We spoke with Michael Sawyer, a professor of Race, Ethnicity, and Migration Studies at Colorado College, and author of a new book, titled “Black Minded: The Political Philosophy of Malcolm X.” Dr. Sawyer says Malcolm X shaped the modern era of Black politics – and his own way of looking at the world, as well.

In August 2019, The New York Times published an interactive project titled 1619. The multimedia project was directed by reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones and featured contributions by writers, poets and photographers. The release of the 1619 project coincided with the 400th anniversary of what is said to be the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the Virginia colony. Producers for the project pointed out that in order to understand white supremacy and systemic racism in the United States, you shouldn't simply begin at the founding of the country in 1776. They argued that you should go back as far as 1619, when a Portuguese ship carrying 20 enslaved people from West Africa arrived on the shores of what is known today as Port Comfort, Virginia. This, of course, drew criticism from some on the right-wing, who dismissed the project as anti-american propaganda. However, the Washington, D.C. building that white supremacist in chief Donald Trump occupies today was built by enslaved Africans. Today, close to a year after the release of the 1619 project, a new and groundbreaking work of historiography compels us to look even farther back beyond 1619 to truly understand white supremacy and systemic racism in the United States. Dr. Gerald Horne, a longtime guest and special friend of Sojourner Truth, has released a new book titled, The Dawning of the Apocalypse: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long Sixteenth Century. The apocalypse makes reference to the time period in which African and Indigenous people were enslaved, tortured and killed by the millions. In his book, Dr. Horne revisits the history of the 1500s, which is a century that is often overlooked when it comes to colonial history.
