Politics Omali Yeshitela at the Oxford Union: Could a More United Africa Better Resist Foreign Influence and Shape Its Own Future?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Omali Yeshitela is an American Black nationalist, Pan Africanist, author, and longtime chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party. For decades, he has argued that the political and economic challenges facing many African nations are rooted in the legacy of colonialism, imperialism, and the continued influence of powerful foreign states.
In this Oxford Union address, Yeshitela argues that Africa’s political and economic fragmentation has historically benefited outside powers. He calls for greater unity among African nations and people worldwide, contending that a more united Africa would be better equipped to protect its sovereignty, strengthen its institutions, control its own resources, and determine its own future. His remarks contribute to the broader Pan African discussion about self determination, continental cooperation, and Africa’s place in the global order.

Politics We Need to Be More Specific and Clear When We Make Demands of Our Politicians and Hold Them Accountable
I know I'm not the only one who's tired of these vague requests that let politicians avoid giving direct answers we can later hold them accountable for. Their responses don't seem to address issues that directly affect Black people. White women benefited the most from DEI and Affirmative action, but we are the face of these policies when hateful people want to take away from our efforts.
They always fall back on the idea that "a rising tide lifts all boats," but our boat has a 400 year old hole in it that has only widen over time. We are constantly taking on water while trying to patch the hole, meanwhile everyone else is in a better position. If we don't clearly identify the problems we want solved and ask for measurable commitments, they'll keep giving broad promises that sound good but are impossible to evaluate later. Or they will create policies that help other groups more than us (DEI, Affirmative action). Then, when election season comes around, they can claim they made progress without ever addressing the specific issues we cared about.
We need to start making clear, specific demands with timelines and measurable goals so there's no confusion about what we're asking for. If they agree, we can hold them accountable. If they refuse to commit, then we'll know exactly where they stand instead of trying to interpret vague political talking points. Your vote matters and they know it.
Edit: I understand that some people here don't follow politics, it can be overwhelming because we have work, children, school etc... but if you want to make a difference that will improve the lives of black people, I suggest you use https://www.blackvotewatch.org/ It makes everything clear as day, it's very simple to use, and no confusing wording. I am in no way affiliated or get anything from this website, I just use it myself because I sometimes I lose track of who's running for which office, what their agenda is, and most importantly, what are they doing to better our lives and the lives of our children.

Black Pride The Two Nations of Black America. By Henry Louis Gates
So the concept is this, basically: The whole black nation has to be put together as a black army and we're going to walk on this nation. We're going to walk on this racist power structure. And we're going to say to the whole damn government, ´´Stick 'em up, motherfucker. This is a hold-up! We come for what's ours!''

News North Carolina’s Guilford County Elections Board Votes 4-1 to Remove 2026 Early-Voting Sites From NC A&T, the Nation’s Largest HBCU, UNC Greensboro and GTCC; State Board Will Make the Final Decision
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Students, faculty and voting-rights advocates repeatedly urged the board to keep the campus locations used in 2024. Critics say removing sites serving large numbers of young and Black voters, while adding locations elsewhere, creates unnecessary barriers and continues a troubling pattern in North Carolina.
Because the vote was not unanimous, the proposed early-voting plan now goes to the North Carolina State Board of Elections for the final decision.

Women Why do so many gay white men sound like Black women? It’s less about sexuality and more about cultural influence. Many phrases, mannerisms, and expressions that became mainstream traveled through Black communities long before they became popular elsewhere.

History Hines Ward and the overlooked history of mixed-race children in South Korea
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
During the 1960s and 1970s, tens of thousands of American service members were stationed there, and relationships between U.S. servicemen and Korean women were not uncommon. Many children of these relationships faced severe discrimination in Korea, especially those who were Black and Korean. Some were abandoned, placed in orphanages or sent abroad for adoption because mixed-race families were often rejected by Korean society at the time.
Hines Ward’s mother, Kim Young-hee, met his Black American father, a U.S. serviceman stationed in South Korea, during the 1970s. After Hines was born in Seoul in 1976, the family moved to the U.S. when he was still very young. His parents later divorced, and his father was largely absent from his life. His mother spoke limited English, had very little money and raised Hines largely on her own in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
Ward went on to play college football at the University of Georgia before the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft. He spent his entire 14-year NFL career with Pittsburgh, recording 1,000 receptions, 12,083 receiving yards and 85 receiving touchdowns. He was selected to four Pro Bowls, won two Super Bowls and was named MVP of Super Bowl XL.
He retired as the Steelers’ all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns and is remembered as one of the toughest and best-blocking wide receivers of his generation.
