From the Caribbean Community to the American Descendants of Slavery, reparations are on the agenda, but lacking the radical roots from Malcolm's time. Malcolm famously explained that 'if you stick a knife in my back nine inches, and pull it out 6 inches that is not progress...you have to heal the wound'. Using that yardstick we must understand that the West can never repay the debt, that reparations are revolution.

The Black Curriculum's Lavinya Stennett + RIP English Civil Rights Legend Paul Stephenson S2 EP22

The Black Curriculum's Lavinya Stennett + RIP English Civil Rights Legend Paul Stephenson S2 EP22
👉🏿 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC8g-wk0RIg&t=1s In this week's Black World News Kai discusses the news of Paul Stephenson's passing earlier this month. Paul was a civil rights legend in the UK and a great example of a Black historical figure who should to be on the curriculum. Talking of the curriculum, this week's official guest interview is with Lavinya Stennett, founder and CEO of The Black Curriculum (aka TBC). They discuss her important work and her important new book ‘Omitted‘ (OUT NEXT YEAR: Feb 13, 2025), which dives into popular misconceptions about Black history, and asks why education still hasn’t changed, even in schools now. Lavinya makes plain some of TBC's challenges when working with institutions and sponsors, the impact of TBC, and whether the curriculum will ever change. Lavinya is a writer, author, founder & director of TBC. Having graduated with a BA in African Studies and Development from SOAS University, London in 2019, Lavinya was inspired by her learning and experience in New Zealand to set up TBC in 2019 aged 22. During university, she was engaged in student activism as the "Working Class Student Officer" and co-founded a society called Art and the African Mind, which aimed to promote and provide African-centred art and information as well as support for students. Continuing to engage in her love of writing, Lavinya published her dissertation which won the inaugural Walter Rodney Prize, and has written on social and cultural themes throughout the African diaspora for outlets including the Guardian, Black Ballad, and Quartz Africa. TBC was co-founded in 2019 by Lavinya (CEO), Bethany Thompson, and Lisa Kennedy. TBC is a national movement and social enterprise that seeks to change the way Black history is engaged with by everyone. It works to ensure histories of Black people in Britain are integrated into schools and educational facilities. It was supported by Virgil Abloh who was a patron and continues to be supported by Edward Enninfull, David Olusoga, and Jade Bentil. Their work has made real-life differences including learning resources, introducing an accredited Black British history course and Lavinya continues to speak about it worldwide. For her efforts, she’s been awarded the Freedom to the City in London and MIPAD (Most Influential People of African Descent) in New York.

He highlights the difference between racially prejudiced people and racism, between individual racists and structural racism. "Racism is always systemic," says Kehinde, and if we don't get this we then misdiagnose the problem and come up with the wrong solutions like representation and DEI eg tackling racism in UK club football, and the achievement gap in UK and US higher education. It gets us nowhere. Kehinde has a Malcolm X book out for Malcolm's 100th birthday in May 2025. The book's entitled. "Nobody Can Give You Freedom: The Real Mission of Malcolm X: With money from the book Kehinde's also filming in New York on February 19, 20, and 21, around the 60th anniversary of Malcolm's assassination.

"The Fight For Haiti" Film Interview w/Prod-Director Etant Dupain S2 EP20

"The Fight For Haiti" Film Interview w/Prod-Director Etant Dupain S2 EP20
➡️WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_GTfGBU7Y0&t=3s After Haiti got pawned in the US election Kehinde Andrews interviews Haitian-American filmmaker, Etant Dupain, about his new doc (film) "The Fight For Haiti." It tells the truth about the historical and current story around the Venezuelan PetriCaribe Oil Alliance scandal in Haiti. PetriCaribe was set up by former Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. A program for LAC countries (Haiti joined in 2006) to buy oil through a repayment plan for preferential prices, resell to its oil suppliers at international prices, and use the savings for development projects such as infrastructure, health care, and education. This was a chance for Haiti to invest in itself. However, billions of dollars from the fund were wasted, embezzled, and stolen by those entrusted with it, taking it from those who needed it most. The film amplifies the self-determined grassroots struggle of Haitian activists aka Petrochallengers, who put everything on the line to lead the fight against government corruption, impunity, and state-sanctioned violence. It also follows how politicians and oligarchs have attempted to use gangs to destroy the popular movement. Etant Dupain is a journalist and filmmaker. Etant founded an alternative media project in Haiti to enable citizen journalists to provide access to information in Haitian Creole for and about internally displaced people, aid accountability, and politics.

Kaba "The Negro" Vs Cop "The Good White Man" + LOATAD (BUF) S2 EP17
➡️JOIN THE STRUGGLE + BECOME A MEMBER OF THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY (HOBU): In this week's Black Political Rant, Kehinde (@Kehinde_Andrews) discusses how we understand Monday's not-guilty verdict of Sgt. Martyn Blake's trial, a White MET police marksman who killed an unarmed Black man, Chris Kaba in 2022. Kehinde links this to other cases of Black men killed by the police, to-date UK stats on police killings of Black people; and the relevance of Malcolm's concept of "The Negro" that's still with us today. He makes plain that the racism of the police is the racism of the society. The police are as racist as the society allows them to be. We have the police force that society wants. The police, police with the consent of the racist society. The fears, prejudices, negative criminal stereotypical assessments, hallucinations, and "perceptual distortions" of the police are all features of the psychosis of Whiteness, a global phenomenon, that leads to our deaths. In this week's Interview Kehinde talks with award-winning Sylvia Arthur (LOATAD founder) and Seth Avusuglo (LOATAD manager) from the Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora Archive. They discuss the origin, mission, and development of LOATAD, the difficulty of getting Black books on the continent, the writing residencies + more. The Library Of Africa and The African Diaspora (LOATAD) is a decolonizing private library, archive, writing residency, research institute, and museum dedicated to the work of Afrikan and Diaspora writers from the late 19th century to the present day. Based in Accra, Ghana, it was founded by Sylvia Arthur in 2017 using 1300 of her own books. LOATAD’s current collection contains around 4000 books by writers from 41 of Africa’s 54 countries and Black authors from the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and around the world. LOATAD's mission: to celebrate and champion Africa’s rarely acknowledged contribution to the global literary canon.

New Feature: Making Politics Plain W/Busayo Twins + No Further Action W/"House Negro" Case - S2 EP13
New Feature: Making Politics Plain W/Busayo Twins + No Further Action W/House Negro Case - S2 EP13 In this week's Black World News, the UK police have said there will be "No Further Action" in Kehinde Andrew's "house negro" non-case made by Calvin Harris in response to Kehinde's "" video calling out Calvin's "house negro" nonsense video on YouTube. Today is also Kehinde's late wife, Dr Nicole Andrew's birthday. Nicole passed away from triple negative breast cancer two years ago, a cancer that disproportionately kills Black women (three times more likely).

"COCONUT TRIAL" LIVE REACTION W/NELS ABBEY + SCHOOLS ARE COPYING PRISONS - S2 EP12
"COCONUT TRIAL" LIVE REACTION W/NELS ABBEY + SCHOOLS ARE COPYING PRISONS - S2 EP12 ➡️Video (filmed by founder of ) of the Marieha Hussain "Coconut Trial" Reaction w/Nels Abbey + Kehinde: In this week's Black World News Kehinde Andrew has been looking at secondary schools for his son, Kadiri, which reminded him of how the schools are just prisons. He explains why some not all inner city secondary schools, with mostly Black and Brown kids, are just prisons designed to police mostly Black and Brown children. But the problem is the schools, not the kids because these schools are not a welcoming environment, the schools are not resolving things effectively and the schools not building relationships between children. Schools are historically designed like prisons and are designed by designers of prisons. To support this, Kehinde brings in and breaks down the concept of Total Institution popularised by White man sociologist, Erving Goffman. It's important to overstand that schooling is not education, we can't rely on the schools to provide the education that Black children need. We also need community education so we are going to create a resource bank to offer an alternative curriculum for Saturday School and Black Education, please send in your resource links to and we'll create a Black education resource bank. Kehinde will talk more about schooling stuff in next week's podcast episode when he chops it up with ("sharer of intrusive political thoughts"). -In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde and Nels Abbey (his second appearance on the pod) share their immediate reactions to Marieha Hussein's "Coconut Trial" verdict and circus (recorded during an IG live straight after the trial). We've also got Kehinde's audio from his speech at the protest during the two-day trial. - Nels Abbey is a British-Nigerian writer, media executive, and satirist. Before this, he worked as a banker. His debut book, “Think Like a White Man” was published in 2019. It contains satire of modern racial discourse and politics in the corporate world. It lays bare the rules by which mediocre White men get ahead. Nel's writings can be found in several major newspapers and magazines. His latest book, “Hip Hop MBA: what the Empires, moguls and Business of rap can teach the World” is out now. Nels is one of the co-founders of and a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. In addition to all of the above, is a social and political commentator and can be seen contributing to debates on several major TV channels. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS ‘Emoji trial’: Black man acquitted of hate crime charges over use of raccoon emoji in politician row Total institution “This is an attack on our community”: Kehinde Andrews blasts police probe over ‘House Negro comments In last week's podcast episode, Kehinde gives an explainer about Britain's history of policing Black political thought Will P.

POLITICAL EDUCATION: ASSAULT ON BLACK THOUGHT + OUR DEFENSE, MARIEHA HUSSAIN'S "COCONUT TRIAL," KEHINDE'S POLICE PROBE - S2 EP11
No official guests this week, instead Kehinde Andrews drops some POLITICAL EDUCATION and cracks these coconuts for us, keeping us sane in a racist world. He highlights two recent, related, and ongoing events: he's facing a and (taking place at Westminister Magistrates Court yesterday and today). Kehinde is facing a criminal investigation after the thanks to a complaint made by Black conservative commentator Calvin Robinson about posted earlier this year in which Kehinde called Calvin a "house negro." Marieha is a depicting former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak and former home secretary Suela Braverman as coconuts during a pro-Palestinian rally last year. Kehinde explains why we shouldn't be surprised at these charges, as there is precedent. He breaks down how the Race Relations Act came into law in England and Wales in 1965, and how 5 of the first 6 prosecutions in 1967, for racism under this legislation were against Black and Brown people. He underlines how from the very beginning, the British state was criminalizing us, by conflating prejudice with racism the law attacks prejudice. He concludes that the whole legal framework is the problem, quoting attorney and a co-founder of critical race theory (CRT), Derrick Bell "What we designate as “racial progress” is not a solution to that problem. It is a regeneration of the problem in a particularly perverse form." - POLITICAL EDUCATION LINKS Leading Black professor faces police probe after calling former GB News host Calvin Robinson a ‘house n*gro’ Marieha Hussain: Protest outside court as ‘coconut’ placard trial begins by Nadine White Leila Hassan Howe: ‘My life was made hell.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde nearly got arrested. The police, a Black police officer (at that) politely invited Kehinde for a voluntary interview at the police station about a video he put online. The video was posted on YouTube two months ago called Posted in response to Marieha Hussain's arrest for carrying a placard during a pro-Palestine demonstration, depicting the faces of former Tory prime minister Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman, the former Tory home secretary, alongside coconuts under a tree on a beach.

They explore with respectful dialogue and disagreement: how to embody the values of the Black radical tradition in their work and podcasting and consider what public sociology and public scholarship are, and how they fit in as Black radical public intellectuals. They talk about the good, the bad, and the in-between. This podcast conversation has been partly funded by a grant Erika received from the Jane Nelson Institute for Women's Leadership at Texas University. - Erika Brown started working in corporate America when she was 20 and built a career of almost 25 years in Marketing and Product Management.

This week we're rerunning the final episode from S1 of the MIP podcast with a (first on the pod) cameo appearance from executive producer Weyland McKenzie-Witter explaining the rerun. In short, it's due to the award-winning undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts) in Black Studies (which Kehinde co-created) being shut down by Birmingham City Uni (BCU).

S2 EP5 · BLACK WORLD NEWS: Sonya Massey (#SayHerName), Jamaica's a Prison Colony, Kamala Harris Nomination · DOMINIQUE WALKER (BUF): Ex Police Officer, Abolishing the Police, Anthony Walker Foundation, Goddess Project + More
CONTENT WARNING: Recent Sonya Lynaye Wilburn-Massey Police Murder + Racially Motivated Murder of Anthony Walker. - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain three news items. Firstly the recent unlawful murder of Sonya Massey by the police for no reason; and the need to center Black women killed by the police too (#SAYHERNAME). Secondly, he makes plain that Jamaica (and the Caribbean) is a prison colony. Third, he makes plain that probable presidential nominee Kamala Harris is not the solution to our problems; she's a Black face in a high place (#WhiteHouseNegro). She has no program, no solution, and will not do anything for Black people because the US president by design can't do anything for Black people. - In this week's Black United Front interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dominque Walker, an ex-police officer, about Dominque's far-reaching abolitionist and antiracist work, particularly with the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation. Her work in academic spaces as a lecturer at and with The Goddess Project, a Black women's group. They talk about Dominque's experiences of racism and sense of safety living and growing up in Liverpool in White-majority and Black & Brown-majority areas. In 2005, when Dominque was 19, her brother Anthony Walker, 18, from Huyton, Liverpool, was brutally murdered by two White males Paul Taylor and Michael Barton on July 30, 2005. It was a racially motivated axe attack as Anthony walked with his cousin and his White girlfriend across McGoldrick Park in Huyton (a predominantly White area), Liverpool. In response, they, including her mum, Dr Gee Walker, founded the Anthony Walker Foundation to tackle racism, hate crime, and discrimination by providing educational opportunities, providing victim support services, and promoting equity and inclusion for all.

S2 EP4 · BLACK WORLD NEWS: Attempted Trump Assassination, US Violence · GUILAINE KINOUANI (Trigger Warning: Racialised Trauma): Working as a Black Female Clinician, Afrikan Griots, "Living While Black," White Minds," Fanon, Race Trauma Certificate + Mor
CONTENT WARNING: Racialised Trauma - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain Trump's so-called assassination attempt (leaving one person dead and two wounded) and as Malcolm said of Kennedy's assassination, "it's chickens coming home to roost." However, it's not surprising as America is founded and sustained on political violence: the first violence of the genocide of native people, the second violence of enslaving us, and the third violence of kicking the British out with the American Revolutionary War. Much of the violence of the world today can be traced back to the US and Western imperialism. This is America, this is the West. This. Is. What. The System. Is. - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Guilaine Kinouani a leading voice in Black psychiatry, psychology, and psychosocial studies in the UK. They talk about her work as a clinician, re-traumatizing mental health systems, being dissuaded from working as a clinician as well as dealing with her own trauma as a clinician with over 15 years of research and study including her books Living While Black and White Minds. They talk about the origin story of which started as a blog (now a social enterprise) about not being silenced, and how it developed. They highlight the Certificate in Working with Racial Trauma training. - Guilaine Kinouani is a UK-based Paris-born woman of Afrikan (Congolese) descent; an award-winning critical and radical psychologist and group analyst, scholar, activist, and "[she] likes to think…a bit of a fashion connoisseur." Guilaine is also a current PhD (her second doctorate!) researcher, in psychosocial studies, and founder of the social enterprise, Race Reflections. She's written three books: Living While Black: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma (2021 + Guardian Book of the Year), White Minds Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance (2023), and a third book Creative Disruption: Psychosocial Scholarship as Praxis is expected in November 2024. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS The Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump and Political Violence Waged by the U.S. The Jakarta Method Book Review: The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World by Vincent Bevins Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66 - GUEST LINKS Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma: A Conversation With Helping Professionals (Sign Up) Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma: A Conversation With Helping Professionals - Prospectus Certificate in Working With Racial Trauma & Race Based Wounds Using the Foundation of Group Analysis – Curriculum Guilaine Biography Living While Black The Essential Guide to Overcoming Racial Trauma White Minds Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance By Guilaine Kinouani Epistemic homelessness | Guilaine Kinouani | TEDxUCLWomen - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK) CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X’s 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm’s legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the racism in continental Europe and how it hits differently to the UK; how Jamaica and other Black Caribbean islands (like Haiti) are not our home, they're prison colonies, and the solution: a global Black nation.- In this week's Black United Front interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Mitchell Esajas "A Voice of Black Holland," from The Black Archives in Amsterdam. They talk about the great work the archive is doing to put the Black Dutch experience on the map.

S2 EP2 · BLACK WORLD NEWS: UK&US General Election + "All Eyes On Kongo" and House Negro Complicity · DR CBS: Black Scare/Red Scare + Black Intellectuals + Pro-Palestine Encampments + More
In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain the "All eyes on Congo" image trending recently after the "All eyes on Rafa [a Palestinian city in the southern Gaza Strip]" AI-generated image went viral. Kehinde says we need to have eyes on Congo due to the conflict, and child labor exploitation for corporate resources. But, the reality is that the resources being mined at poverty wages are predominately minerals used for batteries in smartphones and laptops that we use in the West. This is the paradox we're tangled in of living in the West. Kehinde says that the first step is acknowledging our complicity, but we can't just sit back and tweet about Congo + Neo-colonialism, that's not enough. That's the house negro mentality. We need a field negro mentality. We need to build alternatives that can sustain us, and we are trying. We're building the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity for Malcolm's 100th birthday and we're having a convention on the continent in Gambia, the (CAP -May 17-19, 2025). - In this week's official guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Charisse Burden-Stelly aka Dr. CBS about criminalizing pro-Palestine encampments and uprisings, particularly Black students and activists; squaring the circle of working in university as a Black radical intellectual; her new book Black Scare/Red Scare that lifts the ways marxism isn't just White people shit; and on being a Rodneyist. - Dr. CBS is an associate professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University, a critical Black Studies scholar, book author, co-editor, and a member of the (BAP) and (CMB). - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS "All eyes on Kongo" image "All eyes on Rafah" image tweet - GUEST LINKS Dr. CBS Dr. CBS Five Walter Rodney Quotes I Love Dr. CBS' New Book Black Scare / Red Scare Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States - MIP LINKS CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 On Malcolm X’s 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm’s legacy and build a global organization for Black people.
