Podcast appearances and mentions of terrell jermaine starr

African American journalist Terrell Jermain Starr sees the Story of Ukrainian resilience as a Black experience. Russia is not only a colonial state, but it's also a supremacist state, he says. Terrell has made it his mission to build bridges of trust between Americans and Ukraine. This is clearly vital, as he explains that African Americans are some of the most exposed people to Russian propaganda and disinformation within the US. Today we'll be exploring the parallels to discrimination faced by Black people in the US, with centuries long persecution of Ukrainian identity by the Russian Empire. ---------- Terrell Jermaine Starr is the host and founder of Black Diplomats Official YouTube channel, where he posts regular dispatches from Ukraine that feature underrepresented voices and share how civilians are living through the war. Terrell was in Ukraine when the war broke out and provided daily video reports via Twitter that generated millions of views and dozens of appearances on network television where he spoke to millions of people around the world. What makes his work so interesting is that he explains the Russian colonialism that Ukrainians experience through the lens of white supremacy that Black people in the United States and around the world have endured. He helps people get past the challenge of seeing Ukrainians as merely white and, therefore, unable to be oppressed. Before Terrell focused on Ukraine full-time, he reported for various Black-owned and run media outlets in the U.S., including The Root where he was a national correspondent and covered presidential, state and local politics. He has a master's degree in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies and a second in Journalism from the University of Illinois. He graduated from Philander Smith College, a historically Black school, with a bachelors in English. ---------- LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/@BlackDiplomatsOfficial https://www.instagram.com/terrelljstarr/?hl=en https://bsky.app/profile/terrelljstarr.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569344763189 https://x.com/terrelljstarr https://terrellstarr.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrellstarrukraine/ Terrell's fundraiser to create a series on black people in Ukraine: https://x.com/terrelljstarr/status/1861449586188984699 ---------- ARTICLES: https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/05/28/story-of-ukraine-is-a-black-experience-says-african-american-reporter/ https://www.ukrainer.net/terrell-star/ https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/03/19/person-of-interest-terrell-jermaine-starr-00018630 ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Lawyered, and Nathalie Baptiste, senior reporter at HuffPost, and they get real. They discuss the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, and the spike in threats of violence toward law enforcement officials. They also get into the latest with abortion access. ITT Staff Picks: “It's time for MAGA adherents, who seem unmoved by the threat they pose to democracy, to consider the threat they pose to themselves,” writes Frank Figliuzzi for MSNBC Opinion. For the Rewire News Group, Imani Gandy writes about the devastating consequences of our post-Roe reality, including doctors waiting until pregnant people are on the brink of death before helping them.

Terrell Jermaine Starr, a foreign affairs journalist in Kyiv, Ukraine, gives the most detailed story about the Ukraine/Russia conflict. I watched Tifanny Cross' Cross Connection today. I was pleasantly surprised to hear independent foreign affairs journalist Terrell Jermaine Starr take on the Russia/Ukraine conflict and its geopolitical and local implications. Standard cable programming does not lend itself to more in-depth coverage, which I think Americans need on war & peace issues. I decided to contact Mr. Starr as soon as the segment was over. He said we could do it right away if we could do just 10 minutes. He immediately postponed to later for a more complete and substantive interview. He did not disappoint with his take, history, and today's reality. Mr. Starr first gave a history of Ukraine and its many rulers. He then made it clear that while there are issues with a seemingly NATO encroachment on Russia, an attack on Ukraine would be another power grab by Russia. NATO would never threaten Russia as it would be lousy for business worldwide. Starr lays out a narrative that the mainstream media never articulate. More importantly, his take is complex and not sympathetic to NATO, the U.S., or Russia. Listen to the entire interview. It is well worth it. Who is Terrell Jermaine Starr?

Since the end of World War II, policymakers have puzzled over the proper way to approach Russia. U.S.-Russia relations have arguably deteriorated to their lowest point since the end of the Cold War as a myriad of issues strain the relationship. From election interference to cyberattacks and Russia's military expansion Westward, is America's response effective? Or, does the United States need to consider a new approach? This week, Eurasia expert Terrell Jermaine Starr joins us to discuss the future of U.S.-Russia relations. According to Terrell, the U.S. strategy is hobbled by racism, groupthink, neoliberalism, and military primacy. Terrell advocates for a more inclusive strategy that emphasizes diversity of thought and securing domestic institutions at home.  Terrell Jermaine Starr is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center and Senior Reporter at The Root, where he writes about U.S.-Russia politics and race in America. He is the founder and host of the Black Diplomats podcast. To listen to more episodes or learn more about None Of The Above, go to www.noneoftheabovepodcast.org.

This is how far things have come. Try to imagine this scene taking place in normal times: The president of the United States speaking to reporters gathered on the South Lawn of the White House and, just to clarify things, saying, “I've never worked for Russia." But here we are. News about special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation has been coming at us thick and fast these days. First, there was the New York Times blockbuster report that the FBI, concerned about Trump's possible work with the Russians, began a counterintelligence investigation into the president. Then, a stunning revelation from the Washington Post about the president confiscating his own interpreter's notes after a private meeting with Vladimir Putin. And finally, Trump's new pick for Attorney General being grilled by lawmakers about whether or not he'll protect the Mueller investigation, and reassuring them it will not become another victim of Washington's partisan warfare—as Trump so ardently desires. On today's episode of the Mother Jones podcast, host Jamilah King is joined by our DC bureau chief David Corn, and Terrell Jermaine Starr, senior reporter at The Root, to help you find your way through the confusing, potentially terrifying news about the President and his loyalties.

President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric ran high in the run up to the US midterm elections. He called the migrant caravan making its way north through Mexico an invasion. He even sent troops to the southern border between the US and Mexico to keep out the migrants. But now that the Democrats are in control of the House of Representatives, President Trump may not have as much power as he used to in executing his immigration policies. Also: Maria Mendoza and Eusebio Sanchez were deported from the US to Mexico, leaving their four children behind. Now their eldest daughter, Vianney, is looking after her siblings; Jose Antonio Vargas talks about his life in the US as an undocumented immigrant; Terrell Jermaine Starr on the difficulties of being a black reporter in Ukraine; Plus, why some passports are more valuable than others.
