This episode of BTR News will revisit the BTR News podcast – The Willie Lynch Letter & The Black Attack On Black Identified Christians and try to address issues brought up by audience members concerning it.

Welcome to this episode of BTR News with Scotty Reid, broadcasting from behind the enemy lines of USA Inc. As I said I would at the conclusion of the episode titled BTR News – The Willie Lynch Letter & The Black Attack On Black Identified Christians I will be sharing and responding to subscriber's comments.

In a follow up to the last podcast, “Mali’s King Mansa Musa Was A Wealthy Slaver”, coincidently or by providence, a friend on Facebook shared an article published in 2018 by Face2FaceAfrica about a Ghanaian Prince sold into slavery in the 1700s after his father entrusted him to the captain of a slaver’s ship to transport him to England to study but instead was sold into slavery.

Recently I came across a meme featuring Malian King Mansa Musa and how a person wanted to see a film about the man who was deemed to be one of the wealthiest men who ever lived who gave so much gold away in Egypt on his famous trek in Africa, that it caused the gold markets to crash. I was first introduced to King Mansa Musa back in high school in the ’80s when I saw one of those Budweiser marketing displays about the “Great Kings and Queens of Africa” in a bar that I was not to supposed to be in. I didn’t think anything of it other than cool, an African King. It was later when one of the former podcasters I knew used an image of Musa as his cover art. The show was in part about generating wealth. I then decided to look up information on King Musa and discovered he enslaved people and being a modern slavery abolitionist, I questioned the choice. So coming across the meme armed with the information I had learned previously, I simply stated a fact which was that his wealth was acquired from gold mines worked by victims of slavery and that his “flossing” or “showing off” his wealth, put a target on Africa which brought more and more Arabs and Europeans to Africa. Therefore in my own meme, in the description I wrote that I would like to see the film as well, but only if it is historically accurate. This resulted in some pushback which I will share on this podcast including the research by Balanta scholar by the name of Siphiwe Baleka who formerly identified as African American or Black.

Afro-Christiphobia is a term that refers to the hate that Black people produced to use as a weapon against other Black people. So a person tried to cryptically call me out in a chat room because he is still salty cause I kicked his program off Black Talk Radio Network years ago because of his on-air Afro-Christophobia, a term I came up with to describe the behavior of Black people using hurtful, hateful, mean-spirited, and often factually incorrect opinions of Black Christians specifically and Christianity in general. I discuss why it was the correct decision to ban him and how the behavior intersects with the Willie Lynch Letter that proposed ways to keep victims of slavery in bondage by getting them to hate on each other and love their enslavers.

The assaults on Critical Race Theory continue from conservatives practicing racism along with their non-white proxies they have doing some of the dirty work. While Critical Race Theory is an advanced course offered in some colleges, conservatives have falsely made CRT about anything teaching about institutional and societal racism in U.S. history. As I've written before, the attacks are political in nature and a distraction from real issues like poverty wages, unaffordable housing, lack of access to quality healthcare, and now, lack of access to a well-rounded education on the nation's history. Tonight we will speak with Rodney Pierce, the North Carolina 2019 Social Studies Teacher of the Year about the censorship of components of U.S, History in schools. Mr. Pierce was recently featured by Mother Jones in the article "The Moral Panic Over Critical Race Theory Is Coming for a North Carolina Teacher of the Year".

The incumbent Mayor of Buffalo, NY who just lost the Democratic primary to the progressive India Walton is using right-wing talking points Liberal Democrats are copying from right-wingers in attacking progressives in primary races across the nation.

BTR News spoke with Kwabena Rasuli of Clear The Airwaves Project about recent gun violence in Chicago and across the nation and in response to a complaint filed against Chicago FCC licensed radio stations for playing songs that promote gun violence, gang banging, misogyny and ear porn, FCC lawyers said they don't have an issue with the content despite FCC broadcasting rules.

The movement to ban CRT is really just the latest strategy by Republicans who have taken it upon themselves since the 1970s to defend the racist legacy of the Democrat Party of the 1800s and 1900s.

Dave Chappelle, a comedic genius who tackles tough topics through comedy while making salient points about society in general, a few years back talked about the concept of transracial as it compares to being transgendered and how the concept is utterly confusing. Now we have a so-called influencer in the UK, a white male claiming a Korean identity after having surgery to make themselves, yes they also identify as "they" and "them", look Asian. Now the defenders of transgender identities are saying that you can not compare transracial to transgenderism, again, very confusing. Now more and more people, including some who identify as transgender are pushing back against forcing females to compete with biological males who identify as women and girls in sports because of the scientifically proven physical advantage. It's all very confusing and defies logic.

9:00 PM EST - Joining us on BTR News tonight is a friend of the show Kwabena Rasuli of Clear The Airwaves Project. We will be discussing several news stories related to the filth passing as hip-hop music including the recently shared details about the young teens and a twenty-year-old who killed rapper, Pop Smoke.

Gaston County, NC – Gabrielle Jones, just 7 yrs old, was killed this month by an uncle in an accidental shooting. According to local news reports, police said Jeremy Quintrel Lewis was shooting a rap music video inside the home Gabrielle lived which is located on Ware Avenue in Gastonia, NC. Apparently, Lewis used real guns as props for the video. When it comes to gun violence whether intended or not, it is very concerning that children are among the many, many victims of gun violence in the United States. Solutions to stop the carnage seem to be lacking. The United States culturally is based on violence and as a nation, historically, one could argue has been one of the most violent barbaric nations on the face of the planet. However, when it comes to the African-American community culturally, our rich and historic culture in the arts and music has been perverted by the music industry also known as the Recording Industry Association of America, a trade organization representing the industry players. They are most responsible for the content perversion. The RIAA is more responsible, other than the television and movie industry, in promoting and celebrating violent conflict resolution. Rap music today is judged not by the industry on any kind of culturally artistic intellectual achievement but rather is based on sales which are equated to popularity and no one drives violent pornographic rap sales more than white people who also profit the most from its dissemination through various labels. If Black Lives Matter is a principle white people agree on, then why don’t they stop purchasing music that equates Black people with n-words whose lives don’t matter in the lyrical content. Sure the recording artists bear some responsibility but the lion’s share of the fault rests with the captains of industry and the consumer base. Kwabena Rasulit of Clear Air Waves Project joined BTR News podcast to share his thoughts on the culpability of the RIAA in the gun violence that plays out every day across the United States, particularly horrific stories from small towns to big cities.

An open conversation about the gun violence glamorized in music celebrated by corporations and unfortunately the NAACP. Joining your host Scotty Reid, founder of the Black Talk Media Project, is Kwabena Rasuli, founder of Clear The Airwaves Project.

Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir Rice, took to social media to criticize Tamika Mallory, Ben Crump, and many others with unwarranted and unsubstantiated criticisms. What is she really mad about? Money? Video Version:

Surely people who identify as opposite of their sex chromosomes would be at the forefront of support of Rachel’s transracial identity because the arguments for recognition of people with a trans identity but with male chromosomes are exactly the same.

Terrible report from Illinois about lead in the water.

Kendrick Johnson was just 17 yrs old when he was found dead stuffed inside a rolled-up gym mat at his local high school, Lowndes High School in Valdosta. The case became national news when it was discovered that his organs were removed and his body stuffed with newspapers prior to burial. The case which was officially ruled by local authorities as a tragic accident, family, and friends were not convinced and have continued to pursue justice for the young boy. A newly elected sheriff, Lowndes County Sheriff Ashley Paulk, announced that her office will reopen the investigation.

If you are awarded a grammy, you are considered to be the best artist among your peers. The problem is, the Grammys is a white-dominated organization and while it has long "included" non-white people, specifically Black people in the music business, the industry continues to support, promote and reward music that is harmful to black people in general and black women and girls specifically.
