Fourth World Radyo: Mainstream Journalism & #BlackLivesMatter: A Conversation with Andrew Westmoreland

Summary: In the wake of the in-custody-deaths of American African #SandraBland, Indigenous Americans #RexdaleHenry, #SarahLeeCircleBear and African-born #ShekuBayoh in Kirkcaldy, Scotland (and) the recent US police murders of #SamuelDuBose, #PaulCastaway, #AllenLocke and #JonathanSanders, Fourth World Radyo speaks with independent journalist and activist Andrew Westmoreland ( @drewwest_press ) who has been chronicling the #BlackLivesMatter movement since the Ferguson Uprising.

He offers his personal insights into the factors that inform editorial decisions made within US newsrooms and speculates on how grassroots, independent media can balance-out the general public’s scope of understanding issues surrounding social justice.

4th World Radyo: The ‘New’ Negro in Obama’s America: A Frank Discussion Between Malachi Daniels and TheAngryindian

Summary: This dispatch of Fourth World Radyo features an open-ended Skype parliament (discussion) with North American street-activist and Afrocentric political educator Malachi Daniels (@Fanonian) and FWR host Abiyomi Kofi (@TheAngryindian) trading thoughts on the current state of the American African, living gracefully under the constant threat of racial terrorism and police brutality under the watchful eye of a Black president.

Is the Obama administration simply observing the situation in abject silence, or is his administration actually aiding and abetting the injustice as a part of the class-war? These questions and others round out the discussion. Topics include many wide-ranging subjects and matters centred upon the paralysing, self-colonising trends developing in American (and Motherland) African culture(s) and what this might mean for Africans faced with physical survival within this century. All this and more on Fourth World Radyo!
