Necessary Blackness Ep: 72 Why Racism & Voter Suppression Won In The Governor’s Race In GA
Why Racism & Voter Suppression Won In The Governor’s Race In Georgia. I was a victim of voter suppression from the Suppression-In-Chief Brian Kemp under the command of the Racist-In-Chief Donald Trump. After given a provisional ballot, I learned Brian Kemp is the one who determines if it’s valid or not. Before leaving I was given a sticker, but no receipt that I submitted a provisional ballot. The government spends $30 million on stickers to give to voters. 60 million Facebook users posted selfies displaying their sticker.
In this podcast, I discuss the highly contested race, what we need to do moving forward and why voting is just one component of obtaining our liberation. Below is a video explaining my ordeal while trying to exercise my right to vote.

Necessary Blackness Ep: 71 -Gardening While Black: 3 White Woman Accuse Black Community Activist of Stalking & Harassment
Mainstream media interest have always been to capitalize off our story and plight, but never highlight the solution to pressing issues Black America face. So Community Activist & Gardner Marc Peeples aka Truth of Detroit reached out to Necessary Blackness to explain the fabricated charges levied against him, and why the judge admonished the three white woman that falsely accused him of stalking, harassment and being a pedophile.
“They get to ruin my life, say anything they want, and then they get to go on with their lives”, he states. In recent weeks we have witness of rash of white women calling 911 to report crimes that didn’t happen in order to get individuals arrested.
As a Black man who seen the need to change the blighted condition of his community, Truth wanted to make sure the East side of Detroit did not join the growing list of urban communities that are quickly becoming a food dessert.
Check out our exclusive one-on-one interview as we discuss not only gardening while Black, bit the decades of discrimination and land grab Black farmers are facing in America.
