Necessary Blackness Podcast sat with community activist and 3rd generation freedom fighter Kalonji Changa, to discuss the difference between defunding the police vs decentralizing the police. We spoke about the need for a residency clause and instituting an autonomous community public safety council to control everything from the fire department and EMS.
Amid the continuing national outcry over the police killing of George Floyd, the police are still killing unarmed black people. Most recently, Rayshard Brooks was murdered by an Atlanta police officer. Civil Right Activist, Students, Mothers of slain children, and concerned citizens took to the streets to bring awareness to unsolved cases of police murders in Atlanta.
Activist Marcus Coleman and a host of young social justice warriors lead the protest to seek justice for KendrickJohnson, Jamarion Robinson, Shali Tilson, Anthony Hill, OscarCain and so many more victims murdered by Atlanta Police. Rapper T.I. joined the march to the Capitol and spoke about the need to keep the pressure on the establishment and how we forced them to acknowledge the pain and suffering we experienced for years. He ended with advising the protestors of their consumer power and to no longer spend money outside of the community. Rapper T.I was joined on stage by Mysonne and Tamika Mallory of Until Freedom.
Martin Luther King Jr once stated in an interview, “A riot is the language of the unheard.” This was in 1966 and nothing has changed since he uttered those prophetic words. That language is being heard and spoken in just about every major city in America and has reverberated to several international countries.
Atlanta citizen quickly took to the street to protest not only the killing of George Floyd but the refusal to arrest the three officers who participated in this brutal murder, as well as only charging fired police officer Derek Chauvin with only 3rd-degree murder.
Many watched the protest and demonstration play out on CNN and suddenly things got violent. Few know the root cause except those on the frontline. Necessary Blackness Podcast caught up with one of the front line soldiers and long time community activist Malik Muhammad to get a play by play of what really happened. Tune In and Listen.

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, we speak with Bekura Wallah Shabazz about Child Protective Services (CPS) illegal kidnapping of her granddaughter Sevyn and how they ignored the law, violate constitutional rights and fabricated evidence with a brazen arrogance totally without fear of reprimand, reprisal or consequences for their illegal actions.
We talked about how Black children are being taken away from their parents by CPS far more often than white children, reflecting a racial disparity in the system that harks back to the days when African children were kidnapped from their homeland and parents to be brought to America. We discussed the financial incentive to placed children in foster care and why transracial adoption is harmful to black children.
The foster care system is just a holding place for children until they are old enough to go to prison. One of the earlier founders of Child Welfare now known as the Foster Care system was Charles Loring Brace, a racist Neanderthal who stated: “the purpose was to prevent these dangerous classes from exploding into rage against the rue of capital”. The premise of foster care has not changed and is a national crisis for all to be concerned about

Mrs. Richard details four recession-proof businesses and how you can survive unscathed.
In this episode, we debunk the lies and half-truths regarding the Netflix docu-series, “Self-Made: Madam C.J. Walker. We interviewed Eric Majette Jr, who Dick Gregory referred to as the ‘Gatekeeper of the Jewels’. Mr. Majette is a historian and founder of the African-American Cultural Heritage Collection (AACHC) and owner of the original collection of Madam C.J. Walker artifacts.
The over-fictionalization done in this movie constitutes an opposition to the truth and was intentional. Kasi Lemmon, the director utilized the same approach when directing “Harriett” and we were equally enraged.
Why embellish the truth to create a story arc when the original story was just as fascinating and inspiring?
In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, we spoke with Crumb of CrumbTV on Blood Sport and White America’s pleasure for cruelty and suffering. The cruel Elizabethan and Jacobean animal sport became Anglo-American pass time sport that reveals the darker aspect of their personality trait and mental disorder. The public exhibition of barbarous sports can be traced back to the Romans, to the maltreatment of slaves and what we are witnessing in the world of Boxing and MMA.
We talk about the Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder fight in all its complexities and details.
After the airing of the explosive documentary, “Who Killed Malcolm X?” on Nexflix many viewers are wondering, did the FBI had its hand in the infamous assassination of controversial Black leader and activist or was an inside job carried out by his former brothers in the Nation of Islam? or could it have been both? In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, Rahiem Shabazz gives his opinion without revealing the explosive and new discovery that was unearthed in the latest documentary. Shabazz goes further to question why crucial questions were not asked or information not reported in the movie.
If you have yet to see the documentary, its airing now on Netflix.
