Alex Johnson a parent of Omaha Plantation Schools fight functionaries educators about their racism.

M,A, Yah Talks about the Black Leaders in Omaha NE and their Uncle Tom behaviors.

This interview is focused on failed Black Leadership in Omaha and the inability of African Americans to make progress in North Omaha. Some too many fake leaders and imposters really don't care about the community by their token position and playing the lapdog for the system. The data illustrates that we are more than marching down the street in the Juneteenth parade that does not produce one change for our community.

Racism in Omaha Nebraska Dealing With His Property Lots

The goal is to help deal with intellectual fragility and the censorship of ideas that some find difficult to discuss. In a previous program, some participants logged out because they could not stomach issues dealing with controversial ideas in the intellectual marketplace. If you experience challenges with the contrary notions, suffer from white fragility, or other phobic topics, this is not the program for you.

Racism, Equity & Justice: Dual Book Discussion ft Dr. Patrick Velasquez

Black Elites ft Trip Reynolds

Trip Reynolds is a community member with an extensive background in many areas, such as human resources, he worked in major corporations, and most of us know him from his work at Cox Cable 22 many years ago. This program explored his latest view on Wakanda and its implication in dealing with Jewkanda. There is symbolism that we must explore if we are to transform our community. As Dave Chapell remarks, we must respect the artist and those who have creative minds to avoid censorship. We talked about lynching, buffoon institutions, Uncle Tom's, lynching of African Americans, The empowerment Network, and other issues that have been swept under their institutional rugs in the communities of the oppressed. Join us for this exciting program, and if you want to know more about Trip Reynolds.

White Women ft Regina Jackson

White Women Community Forum Zoom/Facebook Live event is about two women who developed a series of dinner conversations with white women to talk about racism. Their book. It is titled White Women by Regina Jackson and Saia Rao. The subtitle is “Everything You Already Know About Your Racism and How to do Better. Jackson and Rao's salient comments and observations illustrate the events we experienced in Nebraska during our Omaha Table Talk days dealing with antiracism work. MORE was contacted to help them share their expertise in Nebraska because we are one of the only antiracism nonprofits with a mission to explore and expose racist behaviors. We have countless white women who are apologists and supporters of racism and who voted for President Trump. There are covert racist females in high places who support the antiracism cause because they think that unwittingly work is doing good. These closet racists and complicity bystanders cannot engage in actual work because of white fragility and their “internalized misogyny,” as cited by the authors. Such behaviors control the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission and other nonprofits or government agencies. This book discussion will afford the authors and the participants to discuss interracial dinner experiences and what can be done to reverse the high level of racism practiced by white women who are often worse than their men. A'Jamal Byndon, the Chairman of MORE, asks the participants to read the book and come up with questions and comments relevant to the book: White Women. We also hope a few good women will see their light and support real antiracism work by including People of Color instead of their make-believe work. Nebraska is evolving into Texas, Florida, and other unenlightening places by accepting oppressive homogeny or racism. Copies of the book can be found on Amazon.

Law Enforcement in Communities of Color ft Ben Salazar, Cammy Watkins, A’Jamal Byndon

A Forum about Law Enforcement in the Communities of Color The recent tragedy in Memphis illustrates that systems and law enforcement, regardless of their racial composition, can engage in racially motivated behaviors despite the officers being of the same racial group as the victims. Racial experts cite that People of Color can be water carriers for the oppressive system by acting as agents for those examples of brutality. We saw this in South Africa, Nazi Germany, and models within the United States, where racial groups were brainwashed to fight their respective groups' members for the system. These systems can promote a toxic culture of command and control that exists within many police departments of which Omaha is not exempt. The murder of a civilian Tyre Nichols by law enforcement officials raises concerns yet again about the system of policing in our country and in Omaha, Nebraska. In times such as these, it is the responsibility of those who seek solutions in our community to provide space for dialogue about ways to preventhese tragic events from occurring. In addition, it is important to evaluate current institutional practices to ensure similar policies or practices that allowed the tragedies in Memphis (and Los Angelos in the past) are not in place locally. Panelists are: Ben Salazar, Cammy Watkins, A’Jamal Byndon,

Southern Africa Project - 21st Century Racism in Southern Africa ft. Merapelo Shana Letebele

The Southern Africa Project will help deconstruct the impact of apartheid in Southern Africa; and demonstrates clear similarities with historical racism in the United States. The sum of these efforts will efforts will facilitate understanding and acknowledgement of how historical racism has destroyed the Black communities. Letebele’s approach is rooted in the realization that all “knowledge” in the sense of facts, information, or explanations about African history is peddled from a Eurocentric lens and philosophical basis. The time for Africans and African Americans to generate their historical knowledge. Through this project, Ms. Letebele will lead and collaborate with like-minded individuals and entities to explore the experience of knowing and contemplate newly discovered information about previously hidden elements of African and African American history; in pursuit and advancement of racial healing and knowledge.

The State of Black America - a year end review ft Dr Imani

Dr. Nikitah Imani is a professor in the Black Studies Department at UNO. Since he is connected to issues dealing with the African American community and diaspora, I invited him to share significant highlights he perceives from his academic position at the University and his contact with grasstops and community issues affecting our people. We will focus on what is right and wrong regarding issues impacting the African American community in Omaha and Nebraska. Please let me warn our listening audience that we will share not-so-pretty opinions, ideas, and problems that might make folks squirm in their high chairs or call out their uncles. Some Potential Questions: As we move into the new year, what are the three or five most significant things/issues impacting the Black community? We just heard that our so-called superintendent, who flew in on a yardstick, is abandoning the African American educational regime. What can we do to stop these fly- by-night opportunists from gaining lucrative pensions and salaries off the backs of our community and taxpayers, and mainly doing very little to reverse the dismal educational disparities for African Americans in the plantation schools? As an African American, how do you measure success for the African American community or individuals? There will be time at the end for questions and comments for Dr Imani!

Mental Health in The Black Community ft
Dr. Donna Polk, Tamika Mease, Frank Bailey, Larry Duncan

‘Where's the outrage?' Access to mental health specialists is a problem for many black and brown families in Omaha. From affordability to a disconnect on available resources, kids who need help are not getting it. Many in the community are raising important questions...such as, "why is it easier to talk to a therapist once you're in the system than before?"

This forum is designed to address that question, and unpack others such as:

1) What is the disconnect between available resources and the families who need it?

2) Is local funding for low-income healthcare being properly allocated to reach those in need?

3) What can we propose to our local officials in order to bring solutions to the table?

Post Election Discussion ft Dennis Womack & Cheryl Weston

Native Life in South Africa by Sol. T Plaatje Book Review By A'Jamal Byndon

A few months ago, we watched a presentation about a south African female writer as part of an African literature book discussion. Dr. Victoria “Ntozi” Mahlangeni said we could use a similar format to discuss other African writers who don’t get much attention in the media. We decided to focus on Sol Plaatje. Mr. Plaatje is a Motswana man who grew up and lived in Apartheid South Africa. The book Native Life in South Africa was written in the early 1900s and is out of print. Plaatje, a political journalist, was one of the founders of the South African Native National Congress and (later became the African National Congress- ANC) the first advocate and writer for fair land redistribution in southern Africa. His book Mhudi 1930 was the first English novel printed by a Black South African. Dr. Mahlangeni passed away in September to the spirit world or the world of our ancestors and A’Jamal Byndon, her husband of 43 years, decided to move forward with this event. A’Jamal met Victoria when he was a Peace Corps Volunteer in 1977. They got married in Lobatse, Botswana, in 1977, and A’Jamal was one of the founding members of Omaha Table Talk, a program to bring community members of various ethnic and racial groups to talk about race issues. One of A’Jamal and Victoria’s friends who grew up in South Africa shared that in her elementary and secondary apartheid education, they did not learn about some great heroes of the struggle in their formal education. Fast forward to many contemporary issues, adherents of African culture and literature are unaware of Bessie Head, a South African refugee novelist who lived in Botswana, and others who are the shoulders on whom we stand for continued progress. Bessie also wrote the introduction for a subsequent edition of the Native Life in South Africa book.

This event is co-sponsored by Tswana History Matters, Inclusive Communities, and Afromaha.

This week we host an interview and Q & A session with local business owner David Mitchell.

We invited David to "Throwing Down Some Heavy Light" because of his frequent challenges in dealing with Douglas County Attorney's office and the Omaha law enforcement clan.

This interview was conducted by A'Jamal Byndon.

Some potential questions:

1. Over the past few years, I have followed your ordeal with racist law enforcement and county attorney staff. Please share with the audience these bogus charges and give the details of how they transpired?

2. You ran for the Omaha City Council and lost the election because of the unfounded charges. Why did they target you, and after this case was over, did they offer you any funds or redress for

   their racist behaviors?

3. Many African Americans have never seen these individuals doing community forums or engaging with folks in a healthy fashion. What were your previous encounters with law enforcement, county attorney, or public pretenders in North Omaha?
