This episode discusses the history of Dina Arobi i.e. Mauritius Island and its relationship of unity within the Afrakan diaspora. There must be freedom, because the individual is not served by society unless it is hers. And there must be unity, because only when society is unified can its members live and work in peace, security and well being. These three essential not new to Afraka or its people; they have always been part of the traditional social order. Osabu-We (2000: 171) notes that Ujamaa "was supposed to embrace the communal concepts of African culture such as mutual respect, common property and common labor." The challenge was how to extend these traditional values to the modern postcolonial setting. Since Western-style capitalism was seen as incompatible with the aspirations of the newly independent Afrakan states, and indeed, the underdeveloped world, a more desirable alternative was socialism. In Julius Nyerere categorical words, "no underdeveloped country can afford to be anything but socialist" (Nyerere, 1961: 2). Take a listen to learn more on some history and enlightening perspective.

“Muur is the ancient name for the original people of the earth, based on ancient teachings of the indigenous people of the Washita (OUACHITA) River Valley and its tributaries. The indigenous, proprietary inhabitants of this part of the Americas recognize ourselves as Muurs, modern western settlers in our lands called us the lost race; THE MOUND BUILDERS OF MUU”.

The European American’s conception of self as separate from others, and therefore in opposition to others, is an extension of the European ontological conception of the human being as being against or in opposition to nature. In isolating himself from nature he succeed in constructing the illusion of a despiritualized world of which he has complete control, because he can control and manipulate the material within it with his science and technology. In isolating himself from others he robs himself of a source of emotional definition and security that comes with communal identification. However, within himself he isolates that part of himself that he considers “proper” to him (because he associates it with control and power) from that which is “improper” (because it represents “passivity” and therefor weakness). He trains himself to eliminate emotion and to replace it with part of nature and whose source power is spirit. The consistent theme and process in the culture determines the possibilities of European behavior, both toward non-Europeans (others) and toward one another.

Neuromelanin is a light sensitive, energy conductive biopolymer and pigment found in progressive amounts within the spinal column, brain stem, in critical brain core areas, and indeed in the nervous system of all higher life forms on our planet. Located within the deep cerebral hemispheres of humans are masses of nuclei called basal ganglia. These centers of dark living matter containing neuromelanin are the clusters of nerve cells surrounding the thalamus. They are responsible for initiating, detecting and integrating gross and subtle movements. Parkinson’s disease, which leads to tremors, rigidity and a stiff, shuffling gait, is a disease of these nerve cells. These sophisticated sensors may also be partially responsible for detecting more subtle movements within the wider environment, such as the geodynamic forces within the earth itself, phenomena alluded to in the ancient Memphite Theology of Kemet mentioned by G. G. M. James in his classical Stolen Legacy.

Low-income people in the U.S. and abroad face similar challenges: access to credit, housing, jobs, and critical services including health and education. Today, those who work on international economic development and community development hardly know each other. Agricultural businesses in developing countries offer an opportunity for market-based economic development that creates benefits throughout global value chains. Supporting the stability and growth of such businesses fosters economic prosperity and job creation in places where poverty is endemic. Further, it addresses key economic and social issues that affect the everyday lives of people in the United States, including immigration, drug production, post-conflict reconstruction, and supply chain stability. Seventy-five percent of the world’s poor live in rural areas and depend on agriculture as their primary source of income. Given the World Bank’s estimate that economic growth in the agricultural sector is twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors of the economy, strengthening agricultural value chains may be among the most effective ways to address global poverty. Agricultural cooperatives and private enterprises represent farmer suppliers at the base of many global value chains. A growing number of these enterprises produce and process high-value crops such as premium coffee and cocoa, vegetables, and nuts that have a growing market in North America and Europe. However, despite having quality products with established markets, most of these enterprises lack the financing to invest in inputs such as seeds and fertilizer, purchase raw material, and build processing facilities, warehouses, or other value-adding infrastructure. In the United States, a variety of government programs, many of which are driven by legislation such as the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), addresses gaps in rural and other underserved financial markets directly or indirectly through private sector engagement. The U.S. farm credit system provided $152 billion in financing to agricultural small businesses in 2009.3 Since the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund’s inception in 1994, it has provided more than $1 billion to community development organizations and financial institutions, while more than 1,000 CDFIs lend billions of dollars to underserved markets in the United States. The investment and stewardship landscape has changed significantly over the last decade and this change has only accelerated in recent years, for instance with the rise of ‘ESG investing’ and significant changes in capital allocation away from listed equities. At the same time, we have seen an increased focus on the roles and responsibilities of investors as stewards. As broader societal trends, such as digitisation, have connected savers with their investments; the role of the investor has become subject to more visible public scrutiny. We have seen deeper scrutiny of stewardship responsibilities in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and in response to a number of high-profile corporate failures. Regulators and other stakeholders have recognised the important role that stewardship can play in promoting well-functioning markets and in turn increased their expectations of investors living up to their stewardship responsibilities.

Investors have continued to evolve their approach to stewardship in response to new challenges, such as the coronavirus pandemic and the risks posed by climate change; but there is increasing recognition that they could go further and that a wider range of market participants need to recognise their role in stewardship. Investors need to make the most of their rights and responsibilities to promote long-term value across the economy. The United States is structured by class and racism but now it is time to invest in ourselves and our futures by demanding MOOR.

This podcasts discusses in detail urban renewal, gentrification, its relationship with power, control and immediate solutions. Urban Renewal has been one method that has contributed to the deurbanization of American cities starting in the 20th century and contemporary. Urban Renewal is an important federal policy that affected thousands of communities in hundreds of families causing internal displacement. Urban Renewal has been meant to achieve the ‘clearance’ of ‘blight’ and slum areas so that they can be rebuilt to maximize profit rather than for public land and housing be used for all communities despite economic class or color. Urban Renewal programs have disproportionately affected Afro (Eumelanin) communities leading to a historic slogan of saying “urban renewal is negro removal”. The consequences of this ongoing inhumane atrocity has exacerbated inequities with violence, economic instability, financial hardships, loss of social organizations, and psychological trauma. Furthering the dysfunction in communities or indigenous and native people across the world and nation. However, in the nations capital there is an ongoing threat of social dispossession that has caused a collapse in political action. In addition to this conversation and overview of the DC Comprehensive Plan will be discussed and evaluated. The Comprehensive Plan is D.C.’s largest planning document that guides the development of housing in the District. First created in 2006, it was designed to be rewritten every 20 years and was first amended in 2011. Citing concerns about increasing housing production in the city to match its growing population, Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office began amending the plan once more in May 2016, extending the document to a lengthy 1,500 pages.

An outpouring of public comments and grassroots campaigns delayed the amendments for nearly five years and led to many revisions, mostly focused on the plan’s impact on the displacement of Black and brown residents. D.C. Council is set to vote on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Act of 2021 on May 4. “We cannot afford to preserve a status quo that has been displacing thousands of Black and brown D.C. families,” Lewis George said. At least 20,000 Black people were pushed out of the city between 2000 – 2013, according to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. To learn moor tune in now !

This episode is dedicated to discussing community development and opportunities in the renowned Chocolate City. This podcast is brought to you by the United Association of Moors that is running a youth program this summer educating on financial and social empowerment. Socialization of oppression is briefly explained to invoke a change in listeners to be proactive in protecting and maintaining their communities. 1. The beginning of the cycle, depicted by the 1st circle, represents the situation into which we were born. We have no control over this. We are also born without bias, assumptions, or questions. We are either “lucky” to be born into a privileged situation or “unlucky” to born into an underprivileged situation.

2. The 1st arrow represents that fact that our socialization process begins immediately. We are given a pink blanket if we are a girl or a blue one if we are boy. The rules and norms are already in place and we subtly (and in many cases not so subtly) are made aware of the rewards of conforming and the consequences of rebelling.

3. The second circle represents the institutions that help shape our views and beliefs, and help instill within us prejudice or acceptance.

4. Thesecondarrowrepresentsthewayinwhichtheinstillingofideas, beliefs, and behaviors reinforce the cycle of oppression. Behaving differently is not as simply as most of us think. We are rewarded for good behavior – conforming to the norms and standards. By the same token, we are punished for bad behavior – questioning or rebelling against oppressive societal norms.

5. The third circle represents the devastating result upon all of us that this self-perpetuated cycle of oppression produces.

6. The final arrow represents a point at which we all arrive – the results of the cycle. We are forced to make a decision, even if that decision is to do nothing. Doing nothing is the easier choice, especially for those who benefit from the perpetuation of the cycle: we are all victims of the cycle and we are all hurt by it. Oppression hurts the oppressed and the oppressor.

7. And finally, it is the wheel that turns or enables any cycle. At the center or core of the cycle of socialization are fear, misunderstanding, insecurity, confusion, etc. Adams, M., Bell, L. A., Griffin, P. (1997) Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice, New York: Routledge. It is our duty to ensure our rights are respected, maintained, upheld, expanded and protected by any means necessary for our individual selves, our communal selves and for our next generation.

Analyses of institutional racism and white supremacy to understand its relationship with power. Understanding ethnographic evidence of racial profiling and its relationship with developing social constructions that disenfranchise groups of communities. Language can be used to control and deceive, for example the criminal justice system is particularly deceptive in its nature of functioning with discursive articulations of fairness, justice and equality at the same time that is perpetuates the reproduction of disparities and killings of people. It’s also discusses the roll society plays in the perpetuation in racism. Discussing the ideas of authoritarian and complicity.

MOOR SOLAR ENERGY is brought to you by the United Association of Moors to ensure sustainable development by spreading awareness on clean energy projects and the opportunities to rebuild socioeconomic ranks and communities to demand social and economic equity. It is the a brief conversation to galvanize the audience in direct action and involvement in protecting our environment and each other. This episode is seeking to connecting to local, national or international partners that are focused on humanitarian work and environmental justice. The objective of the project is to develop solutions, tools, resources and opportunities to promote pollution free and limit greenhouse gases to be emitted after installations. This project will be required to take energy from the sun generated by solar panels and convert the energy to AC voltage, which will be able to power most electronic devices. This will further the renewable clean power that is available every day. The target is to have about 44 public events, 88 work force teams, 111 strategically piloted programs of the solar paneled electrical charging stations for cars, buses, trains and/or trolleys across the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) areas/ The nation’s capital should lead in the effort of mandating renewable energy to produce at least 33% of our power source. The increased enforcement of the alternative fueling infrastructure will fill crucial gaps along major shipping corridors and assist in overpowering current barriers to alternative vehicle adoption. This organization thrives on coalition building and promotes the principles of UBUNTU meaning I am because we are hence the communal approach on accountability and action for change. Thankh you for listening to our first podcast and please be sure to spread the word and share on your social platforms. We have future projects that will need additional support globally and hope to use this as a consistent tool to communicate our voice and visions with the world.
