We are winning: Neighborly concern, human kindness is shining through “ratchet” Trumpism

When Adele honored and symbolically gave to Beyonce’ what she richly deserved (the album of the year) at the Grammy awards, she broke ranks with the music industry, which can’t get past its racial programming, its racial preference and its racial provincialism. Similarly, if we stop whining and complaining about Trump and Trumpism for a minute, we can see that lots of people are breaking from xenophobia, bigotry and the narrowness of White Supremacy, capitalism and Trump’s plain meanness.

And they are breaking the rules and reaching across the divide to embrace one another as human beings, despite our differences and despite our indoctrination, brainwashing and programming.

Trump and his attempt to “further” divide and rule us is failing. If you pay attention, you can hear in the protest chants the sound of progress, you can smell the sweet aroma of Brotherhood and Sisterhood and if you look closely enough you will gaze upon the gratifying sight of Americans all over looking out for and standing WITH... https://fightthepowerjournal.com/2017/02/13/we-are-winning-neighborly-concern-human-kindness-is-shining-through-ratchet-trumpism/

Gilbert Mercier, Editor of News Junkie Post, will be our guest today on #IndependentMediaMonday. Recently Gilbert wrote a piece titiled "Will Trump Be in the Driver Seat of the Special Relationship with Israel?" Here's an excerpt: "Despite the tensions between former President Barack Hussein Obama and PM Netanyahu, which had more to do with a personality clash than policy disagreements, the so-called special relationship between the US and Israel has not been reconsidered since 1980. It has been, in most instances, a relationship in which the Jewish State, using the powerful Jewish lobby with its vast political, financial and media ramifications has, more or less, dictated the agenda and policies."

Join us today at 12pm CST as I discuss all things political with the irreverant, always interesting and sometimes hilarious Gilbert Mercier of News Junkie Post. See you there RMG Fam; see you then.

Hello RMG Fam! We have a special #IndependentMediaMonday broadcast for you. Some call Black Agenda Report Executive Editor, Glen Ford, A Certified Elder of the Black Journalism Tribe. Historic "firsts," "mosts," and "onlys" are also the hallmarks of Glen Ford’s long career.

The son of famed disc jockey Rudy “The Deuce” Rutherford, the first Black man to host a non-gospel television show in the Deep South – Columbus, Georgia, 1958 – Glen was reading newswire copy on-the-air at age eleven. Glen’s first full-time broadcast news job was at James Brown’s Augusta, Georgia radio station WRDW, in 1970 – where ‘The Godfather of Soul” shortened Glen’s surname to “Ford.”

Ford also produced the McDonald’s-sponsored radio series “Black History Through Music,” aired on 50 stations, nationwide.

In 1987, Ford launched “Rap It Up,” the first nationally syndicated Hip Hop music show, broadcast on 65 radio stations. During its six years of operations, “Rap It Up” allowed Ford to play an important role in the maturation of a new African American musical genre. He organized three national rap music conventions, and wrote the Hip Hop column for Jack The Rapper’s Black radio trade magazine.

In addition to his broadcast and Internet experience, Glen Ford was national political columnist for Encore American & Worldwide News magazine; founded The Black Commentator and Africana Policies magazines; authored The Big Lie: An Analysis of U.S. Media Coverage of the Grenada Invasion (IOJ, 1985); voiced over 1000 radio commercials (half of which he also produced) and scores of television commercials; and served as reporter and editor for three newspapers (two daily, one weekly).

Today Rhymes Media Group is introducing a new broadcast "Monique In The Street," with Minnesota veteran activist Monique Cullars Doty. Monique will be the on-the-scene correspondent for RMG at the various events, for justice, in the Twin Cities area.

On November 19th Minneapolis Police Officer Hamilton opened fire on a car with six young adults in it in downtown Minneapolis for no good reason. The driver of the car had been ordered to back up by other officers blocking a street where up ahead there had been some violent incidents. While backing up the car collided with (or was hit by) an oncoming police car. Three seconds later MPD Officer Hamilton jumped out of his car and opened fire on the young woman's car risking the lives of the young people inside. Miraculously none of the passengers were physically injured.

Hamilton has been charged with second-degree assault and intentional discharge of a firearm, charges that can land him in prison for 12 years in prison.

We will laso be disussing the Allen Scarsella case. Allen "Lance" Scarsella, a white supremacist, shot five Black protesters at the #Justice4Jamar 4th precinct occupatron. This case is important in fighting #Justice4Philando as we do not want to make space for #WhiteSupremacy

While Scarsella is claiming self defense, #Justice4Jamar & #Justice4Philando believes he should be charged with premeditated murder and a hate crime. He planned his actions beforehand, showed up armed to a peaceful protest, antagonized community members with racist slurs while livestreaming, and then shot 5 Black men when he was asked to leave. This has every appearance of the system protecting Scarsella and the other 3 men involved by refusing to carry out a thorough investigation, grossly undercharging them and stalling the legal process.

Monique Cullars Doty will be bringing to you, live, the 411 on the scene. See you there; see you then
