Dave of Thando Radio show is off today so we will fill his slot with a live airing of BTR News. Lots of stuff to talk about as always but chief among them is news that the FBI is re-opening the Emmitt Till murder case, is anyone still alive to stand trial save the white woman who got him killed? Given the revelations that the founder of Papa John, the pizza company, revealed on a conference call that has been made public, should the FBI interview John Schnatter about the murders that happened in his hometown in Indiana where he said Black people were dragged to their deaths behind trucks? This and more news today on BTR News.

BTR News - US cable news pundits are still complaining about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential elections in the United States but silent as both, Democrats and Republicans are supporting the Trump administration as it attempts to help an Iranian terrorist organization overthrow the government of Iran.
Meddling in other nations internal affairs and overthrowing governments not friendly to US capitalism seems to be a habitual practice of the US government.
The MEK, once recognized as a terrorist organization by the United States has been described by several government officials of past administrations as a "bloodthirsty cult" responsible for bombings that have resulted in over 10,000 deaths. Supporting violent militant groups is a big part of the United States's regime change arsenal that has caused millions of people to be displaced from their homelands and forced to migrate.
How American cable news political commentators can whine incessantly about alleged Russian interference in a US election but remain completely silent about US meddling in other nations just goes to show that US citizens have few options when it comes to getting unbiased and objective journalism and ranks them among the most uninformed population on the planet when it comes to foreign affairs.

BTR News - Snapshots from a study to be released in Dec 2018 focusing on interracial crime statistics said to show white residents are more likely to commit violent crimes against Black people and Hispanics than the other way around.
Unfortunately some Black people, a small minority have been duped by white supremacist propaganda to pit them against Hispanics instead of focusing on the number one problem, suspected racist white people who have a long violent history of interracial crime in the United States.
The KKKonservative media has been republishing old stories about Latino gangs in California to target Black Americans to get them to stand down from going after the Trump administration on its violation of human rights treaties and the due process rights afforded to all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States.

BTR News - This news report and commentary focuses on recent reports of public incidents involving seemingly white supremacist based aggression by white women towards non-white men, women, and children in the United States often employing police to be their instrument of violence. Is Donald Trump the cause or just the latest politician to run a "Southern Strategy", creating a "Surge" in domestic white race-based terrorism.

Conservatives, Liberals & Trump Supporters have been crying a river of tears over relatively mild comments of Rep. Maxine Waters who called on people to publicly shame members of the Trump administration. Conservative have been particularly hypocritical as they take to social media to cry fake tears over calls to be confronted for their racism, terrorism, and practice of slavery against refugee children.

BTR News - This video is a follow up on some of the responses I got from the video "Black People Supporting Trump's Racist Immigration Policy". A few people wanted to quote Malcolm X as if he were alive today, he would be cheerleading the Trump administration practicing racism against immigrants of any color or nationality and trying to rally other Black people to do the same.

"Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States."
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. ... Finally, the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865."
"In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values."

BTR News - Its unfortunate that we have a small minority of Black people, some who should know better but apparently don't, engaging in the demonization of entire groups of people from South American nations, all done in the name of supporting Donald Trump's racist immigration policy that is really about modern slavery and increasing the wealth of the private prison companies who supported his campaign.
Black People like Youtuber Thea West of Afrisynergy News who can accurately be described as a Black Trump supporter who uses the same racist rhetoric and tactics as white supremacists but tailoring it for a Black audience to get them to support white supremacist policies of the US government, How can these Black people point out how certain regions of Africa are being destabilized leading to mass migrations into Europe by Africans in search of safety and employment and be sympathetic to those Africans from the countries that Donald Trump referred to as shithole countries but not sympathize with other refugees nor consider the same destabilizing policies forcing migration from places like Honduras, Guatemala or Mexico?

Youtuber Yvette Carnell has created a backlash of criticism for her declaration that Pan-Africanism is dead and using comments by individual continental celebrity Africans who are not Pan-Africanists to make her point which seem a deceptive tactic to employ.
Pan-Africanism definition: Pan-Africanism is a worldwide intellectual movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all people of African descent. ... It is based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent.
Joining BTR News today to discuss whether Pan-Africanism is dead and if Yvette Carnell is displaying ignorance on the subject and if she is using the same tactics (showcasing) that the white supremacist media uses to denigrate and stereotype African descendant people all over the world, will be Clear The Airwaves Project founder Kwabena Rasuli.
We will also briefly touch upon rapper Niki Minaj finally admitting that she has used to sell her persona to sell records after denying it years ago. Today she is wondering if she contributed to young girls and women becoming "easy" or "hoes". Minaj states first that  “I don’t really know how to say that without being offensive,” before continuing her thoughts about strippers and Instagram girls.
“Maybe I was naïve, but I didn’t realize how many girls were modern-day prostitutes,” she begins. “Whether you’re a stripper, or whether you’re an Instagram girl—these girls are so beautiful and they have so much to offer. But I started finding out that you give them a couple thousand dollars, and you can have with them. I was like, Yikes. It’s just sad that they don’t know their worth. It makes me sad as a woman. And it makes me sad that maybe I’ve contributed to that in some way."

Back in 2012, a rap group of three young Black girls called Watoto From The Nile put out a song titled Open Letter To Niki Minaj asking the rapper to consider the negative influence her music has some young girls who idolize her image. What is troubling is how as Minaj, who is a little older now, self-reflection, a possible sign of maturation, is being attacked for her comments by writers for major publications targeting Black people like the Root where her comments are being portrayed as " shaming". Interestingly when a father of a young black girl penned an open letter to Niki Minaj, he too was attacked and his intentions mischaracterized. If one thing is clear, the Black community is not on the same page when it comes to questions of morality and social responsibility.
