Necessary Blackness Ep: 128 – Prof. James Smalls- Culture & Politics In Black America

Necessary Blackness Podcast started the year 2021 with a powerful interview from the Grand Master Teacher James Smalls. We spoke about Trump’s supporters storming the Capitol, should Blacks join the military, and several other topics concerning Black America.

“We do too much protesting. Our primary objective should always be food, clothing, shelter, safety, and security. Then the next step of clarity is you must control the economy, politics, and culture where you live. And if you’re clear on that then you understand that will allow you access for control of land, labor, and resources in your community. And you’ll have no need to protest”.-Prof. James Smalls-

Necessary Blackness Ep. 33 Hurricane Amerikka w/ Guest Kalonji Changa

Necessary Blackness Podcast sits down with Kalonji Changa of the FTP Movement and Urban Survival Preparedness Institute (USPI) to discuss the importance of surviving a disaster and what are some of the solutions one can employ when in dire need.

Kalonji also highlights why it’s important to join organizations such as Mama’s Army and USPI, so that one is prepared with a solid tactical foundation to combat any and all circumstances.

Hurricane Harvey left a trail of destruction, in Houston Texas and many were ill prepared to deal with the grievous affliction of a natural disaster. As Black America continues to face police terrorism and unforeseen circumstances, we have to be prepared. The category 4 hurricane that hit Houston was another wake-up call, just like Katrina and many of us are ill equipped to ensure the safety of our family. So, instead of relying on the current administration or aid from FEMA and Red Cross, we have to build institutions and infrastructures.

We All We Got!

Necessary Blackness Ep. 29: Michael Imhotep Speaks About St. Louis Riots & Red Summer of 1919

St. Louis Riots and Red Summer of 1919,

 

In this episode of Necessary Blackness Podcast, Rahiem Shabazz sits down with Michael Imhotep (The African History Network). Michael Imhotep is a talk show host, researcher, lecturer and writer covering politics and pertinent issues facing Black America.

Michael Imhotep discusses African-American resistance in the era of Donald Trump, voters suppression, reparation and how elections have consequences. We also spoke with the historian, Michael Imhotep about the St. Louis Riots of 1917 and the Red Summer of 1919.

Marcus Garvey spoke out in anger against the lynching and beatings Blacks suffered at the hands of Whites. “This is a crime against the laws of humanity; it is a crime against the laws of the nation, it is a crime against Nature, and a crime against the God of all mankind.” He also believed that the entire riot was part of a larger conspiracy against African Americans who migrated North in search of a better life: “The whole thing, my friends, is a bloody farce, and that the police and soldiers did nothing to stem the murder thirst of the mob is a conspiracy on the part of the civil authorities to condone the acts of the white mob against Negroes.”
