In this Patron-exclusive, I review news, events and ideas that I’ve come across which help us as African people to better understand the world we live in. In this edition, we cover the recent pact between Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso and the truth about Niger’s Uranium in depth. We then discuss Britain’s dwindling global prestige, how Capitalists want unemployment to rise, the nefarious impact of Eurasian religion on Africans, and the importance of knowing Ourstory to counteract the constant antiblack re-writing of history.
This content is only available in full to patrons, but please do share this widely to encourage more folks to join our community of Rising Africans and Black Stars.
Haven't watched this yet. Will come back once I have.
✨SPOILERS AHEAD✨
Watched Candyman (2021) for the first time and it’s honestly a good commentary on cycles and how they keep repeating themselves. Not just cycles though. Stories and legends. William, I’m pretty sure that’s his name, says that Candyman isn’t just Sherman. It’s a list of Black men, and even boys, who were wrongfully killed at the hands of oppressors. It’s a hive. Literally. This also shows in how Anthony names his art exhibit “Say My Name”. It’s not just for Sherman. It’s for every single person who makes up the hive. Who makes up Candyman. He even tells Brianna at the end to tell everybody. In so many different cultures all around the globe, this is how stories, legends, and even history continue to be spread. You have to tell them and speak their names. This is how we remember those who were wrongfully and unjustly taken from this world due to racism and prejudice as well. We have to keep talking about them to keep them alive, or else they may be forgotten. Yeah….it’s a 10/10 for me.
