  • Un-Lynching Black America to Establish a People

    Un-Lynching Black America to Establish a People
    Jun 24 2021
    Seeing the writing on the wall for the "legal institution" of Slavery well before the Civil War, Southern Elites were scrambling to reconfigure their business models in order to secure access to that precious commodity, their niggers. The mythical & infamous Willie Lynch was called in to help the Planter class plan for emancipation. How can they keep control over their slaves, even once gradualism was exhausted and the inevitable freedom at long last had come? In the letter credited to him, Lynch actually frowns upon hangings as a "waste of valuable stock." According to him: I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling your slaves. I guarantee every one of you that, if installed correctly, it will control the slaves for at least three hundred years. So what we know as "lynching" is really frowned upon by the Planter class. The true lynching was to sow disunity such that we would never be able to overcome the systemic and cultural obstacles placed in our - that our designed to negatively impact us on the basis of the group to which we belong. And we are still swinging from that metaphorical tree. #StrangeFruit We have nailed ourselves to that tree, so that we might find a way to survive in this white man's world. But is that freedom? #WhatsFree What is freedom? What is this freedom that was promised us? What is that freedom that will at long last bring us down from the lynching tree, so that we might rest and experience new life? We discuss that in this episode of Blacks with Power, and I want to invite you to this consideration. Coming off the Juneteenth release of my new book, Becoming a People: Re-Membering Blackness in the imago Dei, there were a few things I wanted to connect with Pr. Jimmie on and share with you. I think you'll really be edified by the convo. And I believe it should compel you to grab a copy of my book. Notes: The beautiful piece of art used in the cover image is by Nebiyu Assefa.

  • The Positions Blacks MUST have in America in order to be a Free People…

    The Positions Blacks MUST have in America in order to be a Free People…
    Apr 29 2021
    So, I wasn't going to record an episode...I mean, I wanted to. But I didn't want to... The reality that police are now shooting us in the back of the head and folk are finding ways to rationalize and justify that. Even those who are supposedly supporting the mattering of Black life, want to see the tape of Andrew Brown Jr's execution as if they believe there could be something on the tape that gives them comfort that a bullet to the back of the head was warranted... I was compelled to record a show. But, I also didn't assert that with Pr. Jimmie. So, we didn't set up in my normal software for recording. So...this will be an Old Skool throw back type show... It will be just audio. Yet, we were on fire! I was in a space that I hope I won't be in next week. Yet, I give thanks for what the Spirit placed in our midsts and so I am releasing this as a traditional audio only podcast. Because we must consider: what is the line that cannot be crossed? What is the deal breaker for this experiment in integration? Do we have a deal breaker? Or have we simply resigned ourselves...reconciled ourselves to taking this ass-whopping until White folk stumble upon a higher level of civility and humanity than which they are presently capable? We have to have some positions that protect and assert our dignity as human beings. So, in this conversation I present some of those foundational positions we must have and why we must have them if we the Black People are to become anything more than a victim of the American Experiment. There are some foundational positions we must hold as a people, and we must be willing to disengage from anything that violates our dignity. So, in a sense: this might be the last podcast, because I don't know what point it serves to have this conversation if you all are still ok with remaining a subjugated people. But if you hear this and are moved to protect and assert your dignity, let us know in the comments and we can continue on this journey together!

  • The Senseless Choices of the Black Experience

    The Senseless Choices of the Black Experience
    Mar 18 2021
    We have heard the quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over-and-over again, while expecting different results.” But we seem to be stuck on this trajectory… How do we make it stop?! This conundrum has become a reality for Fr. Jabriel and me. Communally, we see this conundrum of insanity illustrated in how we view ourselves. There are many of us who are not willing to put in the work to explore and evolve who we are and how we view ourselves. Believe it or not, the personal view of ourselves distort our view toward others. This is the center of this conundrum.  Are we willing to start and continue the work of self-exploration and evolution? Are we willing to continue in this conundrum of insanity? This is our exploration on this episode of Blacks With Power. After viewing this episode, share your thoughts and comments. How much deeper do you think we need to go in this conversation? What's the single greatest question you have in response? Your comments will shape the how we approach this moving forward...so, thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cef40lX9Qs⊂_confirmation=1
