Bill Gates has committed 200 billion over the next 20 years to the global health crisis/ education and support systems for underserved communities, MOSTLY targeting BLACK Africans. Imagine what a fraction of that could do to help repair the past for African Americans.

Violence in nyc

Two things can be true at once. You can believe that the Jewish people have the right to a state, and that Israel should be that state, while also believing that the past and current Israeli government policies have been deeply damaging to the whole of humanity and the jewish communities at large . In my view, those policies have fueled a rise in antisemitism worldwide and, rather than making Jews safer, instead they have made them more vulnerable.

During the BET Awards “In Memoriam” segment, BET honored several influential figures who passed away over the past year, including Clive Davis. Yet there was no acknowledgment of Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, the beloved wife of Minister Louis Farrakhan, who devoted decades of her life to serving Black people and passed away at the age of 90.

That omission speaks volumes.

Many in our community view Clive Davis as someone who profited from Black music while helping shape an industry that too often exploited Black artists and controlled the direction of our culture. Mother Khadijah Farrakhan spent her life building, serving, and uplifting Black people. If anyone deserved to be remembered before a Black audience, it was her.

This is exactly why Black ownership of Black media matters. When we do not own our institutions, we cannot expect our heroes, our builders, and our freedom fighters to be honored according to our values. We end up celebrating those who benefited from our culture while overlooking those who dedicated their lives to our liberation.

We need media that answers to Black people. We need institutions that preserve our history. We need platforms that recognize our own. Until we own the narrative, someone else will decide who deserves to be remembered.

It's fascinating that when the BET Awards mentioned influential people who died in the past year, they mentioned Clive Davis but said nothing about Minister Farrakhan's wife.

One of them stole from the black community. The other one gave to the black community. That tells you everything you need to know.
