In this episode, we tackle a persistent question from one of our subscribers, who asked, “how do Blacks in the Diaspora, who don’t know their ethnic or cultural group in Africa, follow a tradition”? The answer may not be what you think. Stay tuned!

LYRICS (Written by Yeza)

Verse 1
Honor mi complexion with a badge pon mi chest
I'm Black without apology nuh feelings nuh suppressed
Africa the motherland, understand the richest continent
When mi ready mi a step mi nago fear no consequence
See dem a come wid dem weakness and the pretence ina frequence
Anu press button Anu weak fence
King Marcus a come wid d defence
Black star line pon d sea when we a steam lef enemies
Dem wa mi reduce my lineage to a state of misery
LK and Malcolm get shot a give speech
Look weh d civil rights country a preach
Man a get shot cah dem wa fi be free anuh fruit is a man weh a hang from a tree
Kya move get stop like clog arteries
Revolution spread like hot margarine
Cause I'm black why d border nuh free
Afi pay weh mi nav to foreign embassies.

Chorus
Is it because I'm black

Verse 2

Some a dem kya come on ya
Pon d earth dem a lef pure trauma
Look wa dem do d African daughter
Gone like a thief in d night with her mother
King Leopold couldn't have a father
D mounta African man weh him slaughter
Come wid d Bible wi na take yu offer
African spiritual system mi rather
Chop mi arm n leg n teeth true mi black
Turn roun wa me be patriot
To your colonist country yu miss mi wid Dat
Think royal African a big ediot
Napoleon a gwaun like him never come squat
Pon d native land a Haiti wi call Dat
Liberty equality the French dem a chat
But them never mean the ones ina France weh did black.

Chorus
Is it because I'm black

Verse 3

Rebel pon d bass line yuh know mi ago done it
Fyah ever blaze kerosene ina mi pocket
Black power nav no outage higher voltage nafi charge it
Study everything about mi history never lost it
Focus pon d victory nuh study words like forfeit
Say Ethiopians a burnt face den me a chocolate
Preservation of d melanin mi affi flaunt it
Importance of your health and lineage so seek d knowledge
History books deceiving make yu feel incompetent
Use dem hand make fashion and nuh use African thread
Denial of your origin is like a corset
Illusion of exterior with internal garbage
Original palaces and kingdoms found in Mali
Never told us Black is powerful and dem no sorry
Spare d whites, black soldiers a Frontline pon yu army
State d facts
Give them kilos of the guilt to carry

Chorus
Is it because I'm black

PBS Utah takes a moving and insightful look into the dark chapter of American history, the federal Indian boarding school system. The goal was total assimilation into Anglo civilization at the cost of Native American culture, tradition, and language. The film story starts with pre-history and comes full circle to modern day. Much of the film is told in first person Native American voice by the people who continue to live it.

This series examines the current state of Black people's spirituality.
Journey to Amen is a challenge to Afrikans around the world to abandon all foreign deities and accept our Black God and Goddess in our own image.
It is then, and only then, that we will rise as a Race of people.

📜 The First Opium War - Part 1 - Extra History
In 1792, Great Britain had just come out of an expensive war that cost them their control over many of their colonies in North America. Other wars had also cost them their access to the silver mines of South America, which had been helping fund so much of their trade with the Qing Dynasty of China. European traders all wanted greater access to China, but the Emperor was wary of letting outsiders too far into his country and kept them all penned up at the port of Canton, which was strictly regulated by the Hong business group. A flourishing blackmarket trade grew, but Britain wanted more. One trader, acting on his own initiative, grew bold enough to approach Beijing and attempt to get a hearing over his trade grievances, but the Chinese considered this a huge breach of protocol and an offense to the Emperor. Britain had to do something, however: they imported over 10 million pounds of tea each year, equal to 10% of the government's annual spending, and the fact that China did not have anywhere near as great an interest in British products meant that they were running an enormous trade deficit they could no longer sustain. The Crown appointed an official envoy, Earl George Macartney, with orders to end the Canton system, establish an embassy, and acquire rights to an island that would be under British control in the same way that the Portuguese controlled Macao. The mission failed spectacularly. Although Macartney got permission to sail north and meet the Qianlong Emperor in his summer palace at Jehol, he refused to perform the traditional kowtow which was required upon meeting the Emperor. He presented gifts from the British court, but the Chinese interpreted these gifts as tribute, not trade enticements, and decided they had no need for nor interest in what he offered. Since he failed to get them to agree to any of his three requests, Britain wanted to find another way to address the trade imbalance with China. Soon, this would lead them to start bringing in opium.
