Dr. Frances Luella Welsing was an American psychiatrist and prominent race theorist. She was a proponent of Black supremacist melanin theory. Her 1970 essay, The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism, offered her interpretation of what she described as the origins of white supremacy culture. In this 2009 episode of OUR COMMON GROUND, we talked with her once again about her profound significant theoretical and analytic research and writings on global white supremacy and how it manifests in America. Dr. Welsing first joined us in 1987.

OPEN MIC NIGHT

"A Broken Democracy"

While the Republicans fight for a new Confederacy, just what price will Black Americans pay because the Democrats are not vested in Democracy?

Will cars on the new roads built by the Biden Infrastructure Bill, pass by Black people still protesting voter suppression or another dead Black body at the hands of police? Who will challenge the severely partisan SCOTUS ?

"In Conversation with Dr. Raymond A. Winbush, Ph.D."

Director of the Institute for Urban Research

Morgan State University MD

Too many Black leaders (elected, appointed or anointed) have opted for access to power, rather than challenging or seeking to hold actual power. Too many have opted merely for a “piece of the pie” rather than building the institutional and community-based capacity to question the baker and determine how the pie will be sliced. So today most of the Black leadership passively acquiesces to the calculated marginalization of the Black electorate by the Democratic Party.

We invite Dr. Ray Winbush to join us to talk about the issues on the landscape of Black life and community – the demand for chattel slavery reparations, voter suppression, police reform because it seems the Biden administration has big dreams but no heart to claim them.

Dr. Winbush is a research professor and the Director of the Institute for Urban Research. As a scholar and activist, he is known for his systems-thinking approaches to understanding the impact of racism/white supremacy on the global African community.

"Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting”

Guest: Dr. Terrie M. Williams, Ph.D.

American entrepreneur, public relations expert, author, therapist, and philanthropist. CEO, The Terrie Williams Agency

Author, “Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting”

Rebroadcast of 3//19/09 Interview

Black Pain identifies emotional pain—which uniquely and profoundly affects the black experience—as the root of lashing out through desperate acts of crime, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, workaholism, and addiction to shopping, gambling, and sex. Few realize these destructive acts are symptoms of our inner sorrow.

"Compromise & Capitulation: Starring Harry Potter and the StormTroopers"

In Conversation with Dr. James Lance Taylor, Ph. D.

Chair of Dept. of Political Science, University of San Franciso

He is former President of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS),

The political fires are raging in the U.S. Through a robust campaign of GOP gaslighting in the face of Democrats clamoring for cooperation, and bi-partisanship, the American people who overwhelmingly voted for a Biden Administration waits for many deliverables promised without hope. A pandemic continues to claim citizens; the VRA of 1963 has become a useless relic of days gone by failing to protect disenfranchised the vulnerable populations for whom it was designed. From the Infrastructure bill to the George Floyd Act and the glimmering of an increasingly politically biased Supreme Court the foundation of democracy rumbles,

“The Attica Massacre 50 Years Later: America’s Human Rights Crisis Continues”

Attica has never been over. Slavery has never been over.

 

Is there anything more to learn about the Attica prison uprising? The truth is that it was a massacre of inmates protesting the lack of acknowledgment of their humanity. Demanding to be regarded as humans and the right to be treated as more than animals. Did we learn? We are just telling something of the truth about what happened there. Will that truth or a false pronouncement of being a global leader of human rights make the American prison system saner, and humane?

The prison system is one of the demonstrations that slavery bears harm in this nation. Let’s talk about abolition. Until the continuing existence of slavery in America is ended, the nation’s prison camps will be the largest plantations ever seen on the planet.

Guests:

Max Parthas and Yusuf Hassan

Co-Hosts, Abolition Today  New Abolitionist Radio

MAX PARTHAS is the Co-director of state operations at Abolish Slavery National Network.

YUSUF HASSAN is an Abolitionist, legal analyst, prisoners' rights advocate, entrepreneur, tech expert, community developer, USMC vet, screenwriter.

“The Glitch in the Matrix”

OPEN MIC

Saturday, September 11, 2021 ::: 10 pm ET

Tune In: http://bit.ly/OCGTruthTalk

Call-In & Listen Line: (347) 838-9852

The Matrix represents a system of control that operates completely in the mind. As a complex, machine-driven program, it appropriates any personal, political, or ideological leanings and renders them wholly false. It allows illusions but no action. The problem with the matrix that most people of control and power depend upon has a glitch.

So many Americans are beginning to understand more and moving beyond the energy field of the matrix. The glitch in the matrix ?  Black people. We discuss it at OUR COMMON GROUND tonight.

“As America Fails: Finding Solidarity”

Guest: Dr. Djene Rhys Bajalan

When democracies fail, they fall with the great divide taking a prominent and urgent matter for every citizen. Defining friends and foes? Easy. Comrade, allies, and enemies? Not so. The trauma of Black in America will amplify that dilemma. " We welcome Dr. Djene Bajalan as our guest this week.
