Yanadameen Godcast episode #012

In this FULL EPISODE of the YANADAMEEN GODCAST, Rah Digga talks about the Queens of Hip Hop concert that was a resounding success. Lord Jamar and Rah Digga also go further into the recent police killing of an unarmed black man and talks about what message the machine of white supremacy is trying to send out by carrying out these shootings then publicizing the video. They then get into the recent bombings which were carried out by Mark Anthony Conditt in Austin, Texas, and the way events were painted by the MSM to evoke sympathy for the bomber. There's also an exploration into President Trump's comments calling for the death penalty as a way to tackle the so-called opioid crisis. Is this a viable tactic or is it merely a cover and a precursor to a blanket policy of targeting and attacking black/ethnic minority people who may be caught with weed? Providing more food for the mind, Lord Jamar and Rah Digga follow-on from the story of the Austin bomber to drop gems on some little-known history on the state of Texas in the Did You Know segment for this week. The recommended reading material ties in with the topic and provides further background into Texas being a safe haven for free black people.
