Black Talk Radio News w/ Scotty Reid

BTR News - This video is a follow up on some of the responses I got from the video "Black People Supporting Trump's Racist Immigration Policy". A few people wanted to quote Malcolm X as if he were alive today, he would be cheerleading the Trump administration practicing racism against immigrants of any color or nationality and trying to rally other Black people to do the same.

"Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States."

BTR News - Its unfortunate that we have a small minority of Black people, some who should know better but apparently don't, engaging in the demonization of entire groups of people from South American nations, all done in the name of supporting Donald Trump's racist immigration policy that is really about modern slavery and increasing the wealth of the private prison companies who supported his campaign.

Black People like Youtuber Thea West of Afrisynergy News who can accurately be described as a Black Trump supporter who uses the same racist rhetoric and tactics as white supremacists but tailoring it for a Black audience to get them to support white supremacist policies of the US government, How can these Black people point out how certain regions of Africa are being destabilized leading to mass migrations into Europe by Africans in search of safety and employment and be sympathetic to those Africans from the countries that Donald Trump referred to as shithole countries but not sympathize with other refugees nor consider the same destabilizing policies forcing migration from places like Honduras, Guatemala or Mexico?

Youtuber Yvette Carnell has created a backlash of criticism for her declaration that Pan-Africanism is dead and using comments by individual continental celebrity Africans who are not Pan-Africanists to make her point which seem a deceptive tactic to employ.

Pan-Africanism definition: Pan-Africanism is a worldwide intellectual movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all people of African descent. ... It is based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent.

Joining BTR News today to discuss whether Pan-Africanism is dead and if Yvette Carnell is displaying ignorance on the subject and if she is using the same tactics (showcasing) that the white supremacist media uses to denigrate and stereotype African descendant people all over the world, will be Clear The Airwaves Project founder Kwabena Rasuli.

We will also briefly touch upon rapper Niki Minaj finally admitting that she has used sex to sell her persona to sell records after denying it years ago. Today she is wondering if she contributed to young girls and women becoming "easy" or "hoes". Minaj states first that  “I don’t really know how to say that without being offensive,” before continuing her thoughts about strippers and Instagram girls.

“Maybe I was naïve, but I didn’t realize how many girls were modern-day prostitutes,” she begins. “Whether you’re a stripper, or whether you’re an Instagram girl—these girls are so beautiful and they have so much to offer. But I started finding out that you give them a couple thousand dollars, and you can have sex with them. I was like, Yikes. It’s just sad that they don’t know their worth. It makes me sad as a woman. And it makes me sad that maybe I’ve contributed to that in some way."

Back in 2012, a rap group of three young Black girls called Watoto From The Nile put out a song titled Open Letter To Niki Minaj asking the rapper to consider the negative influence her music has some young girls who idolize her image. What is troubling is how as Minaj, who is a little older now, self-reflection, a possible sign of maturation, is being attacked for her comments by writers for major publications targeting Black people like the Root where her comments are being portrayed as "slut shaming". Interestingly when a father of a young black girl penned an open letter to Niki Minaj, he too was attacked and his intentions mischaracterized. If one thing is clear, the Black community is not on the same page when it comes to questions of morality and social responsibility.

BTR News - As the family separation policy of the US government concerning refugee children is being debated, should we also be debating whether certain types of children should be separated from certain types of parents and sent to facilities to be re-programmed?
