After a 500 year period of inhabitation by the Moors of Africa, in 1491 the Spanish, Portugeuse and the Catholic Church waged war on "Buckwheats" through papal edict, and  ordered the subjigation and murder of "buckwheats/Moors" world-wide. The next year Columbus sailed the ocean blue to fulfill this wish. We will discuss the history of racism and its origins in Africa and how it has evolved over time. We also discuss the effects of this war on the black community. Most of today's material is quoted from Ivan Van Sertima's novel "African Presence In Early Africa," which is a great read that I encourage everyone to pick up. Welcome back to the Podcast for the People, we appreciate your continued support and involvement.  Enjoy!   00:28:00Podcast for the PeoplenoPodcast For The People,Race,black,Black History,black peopleIn 1491 the Catholic church waged war on blacks world-wide.

We discuss this topic in great detail and more.  We also discuss the arguments made up to this point made by James Baldin and the students from Cambridge University while examining their relevence compared to today's political climate. How does the treatment of the Black Panther party compare and relate to the Black Lives Matter movement? Is black America complicit with it's own oppression, and what steps has the American government taken to hold back progress within the community.

This being the last day of black history month and very early into the Trump presidential term, we felt that an in depth discussion regarding blacks in America would help us and hopefully our listeners navigate our way in this turbulent time. This initial podcast is taking an in depth look at ideas brought forth in the historic debate between two scholars, James Baldwin and William F. Buckley. The debate was held at Cambridge University in 1965 and the topic of discussion was "Is the American dream at the expense of the American negro?" Baldwin poses the argument that the American Negro is a product of the white establishment and the American government. Mr. Buckley makes the argument that black Americans are not reaching for the American dream and that the only way for white Americans to remedy the disparity is to achieve less. Is the current state of black America the result of 400 years of oppression, or the result of a reduced drive to succeed? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Who has the correct argument? Are they both correct? What steps can white and black Americans take to ensure a brighter tommorrow? With the election of our nations first black president, many people voiced the opinion that we were in a "Post racial" America. It would be hard to find a person who still holds that same opinion today.  We welcome you to this weekly discussion and encourage your involvement, tweets, e-mails and calls to offer your opinion to the conversation and to offer ideas for future episodes.  Enjoy!
