What is Black Media Trust (Pillar Sákpe) [April 2019]
Much of my initial inspiration for developing Black Media Trust was my annoyance with blind faith and obligatory support for people deemed or identifying as “Black” in media.

A Designation Of Specificity ::: Richard Wright’s American Negro
I would like to open by revisiting what we have already established so far in this discussion. Initially, we visited Ms. “Unbought & Unbossed” Shirley Chisholm’s experiences as they related to distinctions between native born US Blacks (or descendants of US Slaves) and their immigrant or first generational Black counterparts. While establishing a clear indication Read the full article…
A Designation Of Specificity ::: Fanon’s African Negro

Better cut off all identifying labelsBefore they put you on the torture table “Green Shirt”, Elvis Costello Shirley Chisholm’s name has been bandied about lately. Former Conservative Prosecutor, excuse me, former San Francisco district attorney(2004-2011), Kamala Harris, may bear some responsibility for that.

What Is Black Media Trust(Pillar Mbili)[Feb 2019]
For several years now, I have been discussing fictive kinship obligations as they relate to media. What I have wished to communicate is a need for vigilance and criticism regarding those using racial capital to obligate viewers to view, listeners to listen, and more importantly, voters to vote. While I do realize it is necessary Read the full article…
