Last week’s show proved that the Twa are the Mothers and Fathers of Humanity and World Civilization. In Part II of this series, historical proof will be presented showing that the Twa also known as the Anu people, were the founders of Egyptian or Kemetic Civilization. The Twa or Anu, created all of the elements of Kemetic Civilization prior to the First Dynasty in 3200 BC. By African people knowing their historical greatness yesterday, we will know what great things we can achieve today and tomorrow.
In a move that has shocked the international community but rallied supporters of African sovereignty, Ibrahim Traoré’s government in Burkina Faso has officially dissolved 118 NGOs and civil society groups. Is this a necessary step for national security, or a crackdown on dissent? Today, we dive deep into the "Western Version" vs. the "Burkina Faso Reality."
[What’s Happening?]
On April 15, 2026, the Burkinabé Ministry of Territorial Administration announced a massive sweep, revoking the licenses of over 100 organizations. While Western headlines call it a threat to democracy, the government in Ouagadougou points to a 2025 law aimed at protecting national sovereignty and ending foreign interference during a time of war.
[Key Topics Covered:]
• The Dissolution: Why 118 groups were targeted and what the July 2025 law actually says.
• Sovereignty vs. Security: Understanding Traoré’s stance that "Western democracy is a stick used against Africans."
• The NGO Paradox: How foreign-funded groups are being scrutinized for "administrative errors" and "data security" concerns.
• The Frontline Reality: Why the junta believes "total freedom" is a luxury during an existential fight against terrorism.
Pinned Comment
"Is Traoré right to prioritize national security over Western-style civic freedom, or is this going too far? Let’s discuss in the comments—keep it respectful! 👇🌍 #burkinafaso #ibrahimtraoré #africansovereignty"

White Women as Slave Owners
Today we're discussing Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers' work, They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South. This work delves deep into the realities of white female slave ownerships, demonstrating the ways in which white women leveraged competing systems of oppression, particularly race and gender, to attain power, status, and wealth.

Lyric transcript (partial):
Thomas Edison made the light bulb, cool.
But Lewis Lattimer made that light improve!
If you ever feel you can’t shine in class,
Look up at the light, Black made that!
Cars use a spark plug to start
You need an X-Ray to see broken arms
How you think food travels across those states?
Fridges in trucks keep all that safe.
You use a sharpener when your pencil breaks.
You keep your valuables in a fire safe.
With a super soaker you can be a water gun shooter
1gig processer chip in my computer
Every time you X Box or PS4,
Know Jerry Lawson made the first console
When you go see a 3D movie
Say Hannah and Dunkley brought this to me
That’s spark plug, x ray. Mobile fridge
Pencil sharpener, processor 1 gig
Fire safe, super soaker, 3D glasses
3D movie, first console that’s it
Empire’s on Who’s watching it , Mamma
Ghost or Tommy either way its drama
When Liv’s lips quiver Fitz is a gonner
How I know all of this? Its cuz Shonda (2)
Black made that! All that! X3
Black Made That! All that! All That!
Washington DC is nice,
And the President’s House is white
Every time you look at that
Know those who build it were Black. Facts
Its black made. This, this, this black made
When you look in the mirror, smile ‘cus its true
You’re astonishing, and Black made you!
Black Made That. Geometry!
Black Made That. Astronomy!
Black Made That. Philosophy!
Black Made That. Hold up Wait.
Griot B, Philosophy? Greeks made that!
No Philosophy’s from Egypt, we made that!
Art, medicine, and even math
All started in Africa, we take that.
We invented many things but our patent was taken.s
Or bought for a fraction of what it would be making.
Our culture can be seen in most things in this nation.
Let me teach you about app-ropriation.
Seen on us it’s ugly, and on others it is praised
Like: “Corn Rolls are thuggish, but I love those Boxer Braids”
They’re the same thing just a different skin and different name
It’s taken straight from us, and the thief gets the fame.
Rock and roll music to most is great.
But Chuck Berry taught Elvis how to shake!
Use our dance moves and all our slang.
Just know we influenced in ALL THESE WAYS!
Black made that! All that! X3
Black Made That! All that! All That!
Where my Patent At? Black Made That! X3
Where my patent at! You know Black Made That!
