Blacks with Power| Make America Great through Black Power Podcast artwork

Rampant racial disparities in every facet of American Society, police brutality that goes unpunished and other examples show us that current Black Leadership and the Black Establishment has failed the Black community. The direction they've provided have led us into a false peace...a false sense of having overcome racism while we still live under racially based turmoil and terror. We need a better way forward because as Jay-Z said: “This can’t be life.” It’s time to realize that Black Power is the key to Make America Great. This show exists to empower new leadership that can reunite the Talented Tenth with the Ninetieth. We need a strategy that combines the wisdom of W.E.B. DuBois & Marcus Garvey…of Malcolm X & Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in order to protect the legacy of the Black Experience in America and advance the Cause of Freedom that began with overcoming Slavery and Jim Crow Segregation through the Civil Rights Movement.

Un-Lynching Black America to Establish a People

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,

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

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

The Senseless Choices of the Black Experience

Mar 18 2021 75 mins

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

Y’all Better Stop All that Laughing! (This is a Serious Matter! 😀)

The old saying goes, “Laughter is good for the soul.” But it’s also said that, “You have to laugh to keep from crying.” These sayings expressed the way in which we either find joy through laughter or cope through laughter. And this is the deeper search, because we all need to laugh… We all have moments when we “need to laugh.” Or maybe not…maybe we’re the

The Black Church: What Story & Song We Should be Singing?

The oldest and the most BELOVED institution in the Black community is the Black Church. Tuesday, February 16, 2021, PBS aired a documentary called “The Black Church.” One personal take-away of this documentary is that “white acceptance is something that Black people long for.” These words are from my personal tweet, @WWJimmieDo. Fr. Jabriel, @Jah_Bread, responded,

Reimagining Black Lives While Resisting White Supremacy

Zora Neale Hurston penned, “All your skin folk ain’t your kinfolk.” There are “skin folk” who continue to project whiteness in families, churches, and other institutions that is part of our community. The projection of whiteness dismembers and distorts the memory, vision and mission of the beloved community. As we journey through Black History Month, we are cons

Re-Membering Ourselves or Being Remembered By Others – What is our Hope for Black History?

What is Black History Month? What is its purpose? What should be its purpose? What is the best use of Black History, in these times? What are we remembering? What does it mean to "re-member?" As we enter Black History Month, in the wake of White Insurrection, it is time to reconsider our approach to our story and its usage. It might not be the best use of Black History as

What Was Harriet Tubman’s Understanding of Unity?

With all the talk of unity and unifying America in the Post-Trump Era, the real question is this: What do you mean by unity? What definition of self are you using to determine what is meant by unity? What version of self are you presenting for unification with White America? As a new Administration takes over and most folk prepare to go back to sleep, we wanted to explor

What Should the White Insurrection Teach Black Power?

Last week…as we were recording last week’s episode of Blacks with Power, vitriolic elements of White Power took the Capital by storm, resulting in five death, including a member of Law Enforcement. They violated and betrayed the Rule of Law, with the support of the President, Members of Congress and other Federal and State elected officials. Now, we are witnessing the after

Cultivating the Black Faith America Needs In These Times

It’s wild… We recorded this hours BEFORE the mayhem that unfolded in DC on January 6, 2021. It wasn’t developed with this in mind. However, this was clearly in the Spirit that came upon us as we start this New Years journey as Blacks with Power. The Ancients would say: “A charge to keep I have…A God to glorify. A never-dying soul to save and fit it for the sky…�
