Racism in the United States has been a major issue since the colonial era and the slave era. Legally sanctioned racism imposed a heavy burden on Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latin Americans. European Americans (particularly Anglo Americans) were privileged by law in matters of literacy, immigration, voting rights, citizenship, land acquisition, and criminal procedure over periods of time extending from the 17th century to the 1960s. Many non-Protestant European immigrant groups, particularly American Jews, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, as well as other immigrants from elsewhere, suffered xenophobic exclusion and other forms of discrimination in American society.

Major racially structured institutions included slavery, Indian Wars, Native American reservations, segregation, residential schools (for Native Americans), and internment camps. Formal racial discrimination was largely banned in the mid-20th century, and came to be perceived as socially unacceptable and/or morally repugnant as well, yet racial politics remain a major phenomenon. Historical racism continues to be reflected in socio-economic inequality. Racial stratification continues to occur in employment, housing, education, lending, and government.

The 20th century saw a hardening of institutionalized racism and legal discrimination against citizens of African descent in the United States. Although technically able to vote, poll taxes, acts of terror (often perpetuated by groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, founded in the Reconstruction South), and discriminatory laws such as grandfather clauses kept black Americans disenfranchised particularly in the South but also nationwide following the Hayes election at the end of the Reconstruction era in 1877. In response to de jure racism, protest and lobbyist groups emerged, most notably, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) in 1909.

This time period is sometimes referred to as the nadir of American race relations because racism in the United States was worse during this time than at any period before or since. Segregation, racial discrimination, and expressions of white supremacy all increased. So did anti-black violence, including lynchings and race riots.

In addition, racism which had been viewed primarily as a problem in the Southern states, burst onto the national consciousness following the Great Migration, the relocation of millions of African Americans from their roots in the Southern states to the industrial centers of the North after World War I, particularly in cities such as Boston, Chicago, and New York (Harlem). In northern cities, racial tensions exploded, most violently in Chicago, and lynchings--mob-directed hangings, usually racially motivated—increased dramatically in the 1920s. As a member of the Princeton chapter of the NAACP, Albert Einstein corresponded with W. E. B. Du Bois, and in 1946 Einstein called racism America's "worst disease."

The Jim Crow Laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and border states of the United States and enforced between 1876 and 1965. They mandated "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were almost always inferior to those provided to white Americans. The most important laws required that public schools, public places and public transportation, like trains and buses, have separate facilities for whites and blacks. (These Jim Crow Laws were separate from the 1800-66 Black Codes, which had restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans.) State-sponsored school segregation was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954 in Brown v. Board of Education. Generally, the remaining Jim Crow laws were overruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act; none were in effect at the end of the 1960s.

Segregation continued even after the demise of the Jim Crow laws. Data on house prices and attitudes toward integration from suggest that in the mid-20th century, segregation was a product of collective actions taken by whites to exclude blacks from their neighborhoods. Segregation also took the form of redlining, the practice of denying or increasing the cost of services, such as banking, insurance, access to jobs, access to health care, or even supermarkets to residents in certain, often racially determined, areas. Although in the United States informal discrimination and segregation have always existed, the practice called "redlining" began with the National Housing Act of 1934, which established the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).

Tinubu has repeatedly promised to keep Nigeria and Nigerians safe but insecurity seems to be getting worse. Can his government still protect the lives of Nigerians?

⁣S02E06 The Acceptance

STATEMENT
FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERATION OF SAHEL STATES (AES)
Following terrorist attacks carried out against the Republic of Mali
April 25, 2026
The Confederation of Sahel States, in its ongoing struggle for sovereignty, was the target of terrorist attacks on the morning of April 25, 2026, targeting several sites on Malian territory.
The coordination of the attacks, the targets chosen, the forces involved, as well as the logistics and weapons used, clearly indicate that these were long-planned and coordinated operations aimed at inflicting heavy losses on defense and security forces and spreading terror among innocent civilian populations of the Confederation of Sahel States, particularly in Mali.
The persistence of these barbaric and inhumane aggressions bears the mark of a monstrous plot supported by enemies of the Sahel’s liberation struggle, carried out through the confederal dynamic of the AES.
However, the sinister plan and destabilization attempt of these enemies of peace and unity in the Sahel were thwarted thanks to the professional, courageous, and determined response of the Malian armed forces.

The Confederation of Sahel States emphasizes that these ignoble, cowardly, and barbaric acts against a sovereign member state cannot shake the determination of the brave peoples of the Sahel to live free, in peace, and with dignity.
It expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wishes a swift recovery to the wounded.
The Confederation of Sahel States expresses to the Malian people, the Government of the Republic of Mali, and the valiant Malian Armed Forces (FAMa), its total, unconditional, and fraternal solidarity. It pays vibrant tribute to their extraordinary courage in repelling this barbaric aggression and neutralizing individuals from another era, acting on behalf of forces determined to undermine its sovereign vision.
It expresses its gratitude to all States and partners who, in a spirit of solidarity, have shown their support to the Malian people and once again demonstrated their commitment to stand alongside the States and peoples of the Sahel.

History has just been written… and the world felt the shockwave. 🌍🔥
When Ibrahim Traoré stood before thousands at the 22nd National Culture Week (SNC 2026), he didn’t just speak… he ignited a movement:
👉🏾 “Culture is not entertainment… it is sovereignty.”
This is NOT just a festival.
This is a continental awakening.
From powerful traditional performances to a vibrant parade of African identity, Burkina Faso sent a message the world can’t ignore:
Africa is reclaiming its soul.
With youth at the center and values being passed down, this moment marks the rise of a new Africa — bold, proud, and UNSTOPPABLE. ✊🏾🔥
Even John Dramani Mahama, represented through Ghana’s culture leadership, recognized the resilience and strength of Burkina Faso.

This is bigger than borders.
This is about identity, unity, and destiny.

💥 Africa is no longer asking for recognition…
🔥 Africa is TAKING IT.

👇🏾 QUESTION FOR YOU:
Is African culture powerful enough to shape the future of the continent — or are we still underestimating its power?

👉🏾 COMMENT.

Military leaders in Gabon seized power on Wednesday shortly after reigning President Ali Bongo had been named the winner of last week's contested election. Bongo and his family have led the country for close to 60 years, during which they have been accused of enriching themselves at the expense of the country. The military junta announced General Brice Oligui Nguema would serve as transitional leader in what is the latest military coup in a former French colony, joining recent power shifts in Niger, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Chad. "The independence of Gabon has never been real," says Thomas Deltombe, French journalist and expert on the French African empire. "I think we might be witnessing a second independence, a new decolonization process." We also speak with Daniel Mengara, a professor of French and Francophone studies and founder of the exiled opposition movement Bongo Must Leave, which he continues to head. "This is a rare opportunity for the Gabonese people to engage in national dialogue," says Mengara, who warns that the intentions of the coup leaders are still unclear.

This analysis explores the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly focusing on the M23 rebel group and the historical implications of Rwanda's involvement. Through the lens of PLO Lumumba's vision for a united and sovereign Africa, we examine the socio-political dynamics at play, the impact on Congolese sovereignty, and the need for regional cooperation to address the root causes of conflict.M23 has taken over the Goma city of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)Congo is at war and this war has been ongoing for a while now. This war is caused by the availability of minerals which several countries are after. The boundaries established by the colonialists have divided the nation and further led to emergence of forces such as M23 which continue to cause instability in the region. Rwanda says they’re not backing the M23 rebels.

South of the Sahara Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playli....st?list=PLivC9TMdGnL Kingdom of Benin, also known as the Edo Empire, was a kingdom located in the Southwestern region of what is now Nigeria. Lasting for at least 600 years under the Oba Dynasty, and around 1,000 more if we count the previous Ogiso Dynasty (likely closer to 2000 years between both the Ogisos and the Obas if we go with the longest estimates), Benin was one of the longest lasting states in West Africa. Home to a capital city which awed visitors, a system of earthworks rivaling the Great Wall of China in length, and some of Africa’s most famous works of art, this kingdom is an underappreciated gem of world history.

speech by Marcus Garvey in his effort to liberate the African mind

Ronald Stokes Service, May 22nd 1962.


On April 27th 1962, seven unarmed Muslims were shot outside Muslim Temple 27 in Los Angeles. Temple Secretary, Ronald Stokes 29, was killed. "They're going to pay for it," Hon. Malcolm declares, and goes to Los Angeles to eulogize Stokes at a funeral attended by 2,000 people. Despite an autopsy that established Stokes was shot at close range and had been stomped, kicked and bludgeon while dead or dying. An all-white coroner's jury deliberating the Stokes' killing, took 23 minutes to conclude it "justifiable homicide." By contrast, 14 Nation of Islam members are indicted for assault in the incident and 11 are found guilty.

Elijah Muhammad's reluctance to aggressively retaliate Stokes death, would be the first of a series of events, causing irreparable rifts between The Honorable Malcolm X and The Messenger. And lead to his eventual ouster from the Nation of Islam.
