“White supremacy is a deep socio-spiritual scab that reeks with the stench of antisemitism, oozes the pus of Islamophobia, and festers beneath the hard crust of Christofascism, heterosexism, classism, and sexism .” - Dr. Ruby N. Sales, Director, The Spirit House Project

"CIVICS 201 : Voter Suppression and Disenfranchisement"
Saturday, January 29, 2022 ::: 10 pm ET
Listen Line: (347) 838-9852
WE are facing a tidal wave of restrictive voting legislation across the country and the trend will continue into 2022.
Tonight we present some of the information you need to translate and interpret these efforts in your state. How much do you really know about voter suppression and disenfranchisement happening in your state? Enough to organize and initiate the kind of mobilization needed to resist with effective push-back tools? How do you translate what you are being told by your state representatives as opposed to the reality of the legislative actions being taken?
If you are not engaged in some activity of resisting these oppressive moves, now is the time. Now. Months from now will be too late.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
ANOCRACY
A political system that is neither fully democratic nor fully autocratic, often being vulnerable to political instability.
In this episode of OUR COMMON GROUND, we discuss the rabid weaponization of states' rights in the effort to take control of power in government and thwart the rights of the people by disassembling the democratic process and democracy which protects their agency as citizens.

"King Day: To Forget Is to Forfeit"
Since 1983, communities and organizations have celebrated King Day through various, creative and serious celebrations and forums. A national monument in Washington has been erected in Dr. King's honor. However, there seems to be a diffusion in what we teach, remember and understand about Dr. King's contribution to this country. The holiday seems to have become somewhat less deliberative in our celebrations.
We now have generations of Black children, a new scholarship that tends to marginalize the power of his transformative power in our own communities. We read and quote his words outside the context and the import of the history he ignited.

"The Final Season: Black Aspiration in a Dying Democracy"
We enter the last Season of OUR COMMON GROUND examining the dire and troubling nature of our country. Each time, we think it cannot get worse, it does. Indeed it does. The system of white supremacy has embedded itself, perhaps permanently, in our system of government and has been normalized in our politics. How must we respond and sustain the spirit that carried us across the unstable bridges of the past?

OUR COMMON GROUND 2021 Season Review & Close
Looking back at the information, ideas, lessons, and insight during this 2021 Season. As we close, we celebrate our 35 years of broadcasting. Thirty-five years later, I can say that I'm still learning how to amplify Black voices. Still mastering the skill to raise this heavy struggle, manage so much rage and articulate the constant need for assessment of the narrative, but not the history from which it rises. Talking race in courage and with hope continues to be the mission. I salute and am grateful to the hundreds of OUR COMMON GROUNDVOICES who have met with us and offered their keen intelligence and body of knowledge to serve the Black nation. And, to our listeners, we are always appreciative of your support of our programming.
Our final, and the 2022 and Season of OUR COMMON GROUND will premiere on January 8, 2022. We wish you a holiday season filled with the joy and magic of your faith and hope that you will be lifted by the spirit and richness of Kwanzaa.
As always, I’ll Be Listening for You

Dr. Frances Luella Welsing was an American psychiatrist and prominent race theorist. She was a proponent of Black supremacist melanin theory. Her 1970 essay, The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism, offered her interpretation of what she described as the origins of white supremacy culture. In this 2009 episode of OUR COMMON GROUND, we talked with her once again about her profound significant theoretical and analytic research and writings on global white supremacy and how it manifests in America. Dr. Welsing first joined us in 1987.

"In Conversation with Dr. Raymond A. Winbush, Ph.D."
Director of the Institute for Urban Research
Morgan State University MD
Too many Black leaders (elected, appointed or anointed) have opted for access to power, rather than challenging or seeking to hold actual power. Too many have opted merely for a “piece of the pie” rather than building the institutional and community-based capacity to question the baker and determine how the pie will be sliced. So today most of the Black leadership passively acquiesces to the calculated marginalization of the Black electorate by the Democratic Party.
We invite Dr. Ray Winbush to join us to talk about the issues on the landscape of Black life and community – the demand for chattel slavery reparations, voter suppression, police reform because it seems the Biden administration has big dreams but no heart to claim them.
Dr. Winbush is a research professor and the Director of the Institute for Urban Research. As a scholar and activist, he is known for his systems-thinking approaches to understanding the impact of racism/white supremacy on the global African community.

"Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting”

Author, “Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting”
Rebroadcast of 3//19/09 Interview
Black Pain identifies emotional pain—which uniquely and profoundly affects the black experience—as the root of lashing out through desperate acts of crime, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, workaholism, and addiction to shopping, gambling, and sex. Few realize these destructive acts are symptoms of our inner sorrow.

A pandemic continues to claim citizens; the VRA of 1963 has become a useless relic of days gone by failing to protect disenfranchised the vulnerable populations for whom it was designed.

“The Attica Massacre 50 Years Later: America’s Human Rights Crisis Continues”
Attica has never been over. Slavery has never been over.
Is there anything more to learn about the Attica prison uprising? The truth is that it was a massacre of inmates protesting the lack of acknowledgment of their humanity. Demanding to be regarded as humans and the right to be treated as more than animals. Did we learn? We are just telling something of the truth about what happened there. Will that truth or a false pronouncement of being a global leader of human rights make the American prison system saner, and humane?
The prison system is one of the demonstrations that slavery bears harm in this nation. Let’s talk about abolition. Until the continuing existence of slavery in America is ended, the nation’s prison camps will be the largest plantations ever seen on the planet.
Guests:
Max Parthas and Yusuf Hassan
Co-Hosts, Abolition Today New Abolitionist Radio
MAX PARTHAS is the Co-director of state operations at Abolish Slavery National Network.
YUSUF HASSAN is an Abolitionist, legal analyst, prisoners' rights advocate, entrepreneur, tech expert, community developer, USMC vet, screenwriter.

The Matrix represents a system of control that operates completely in the mind. As a complex, machine-driven program, it appropriates any personal, political, or ideological leanings and renders them wholly false. It allows illusions but no action. The problem with the matrix that most people of control and power depend upon has a glitch.
So many Americans are beginning to understand more and moving beyond the energy field of the matrix. The glitch in the matrix ? Black people. We discuss it at OUR COMMON GROUND tonight.
