One sad news is that a 15 year old Javits Frimpong, a Ghanaian teenager was murdered on October 29, 2026 while walking to school. 3 teens are sought in the shooting. He was a child viciously bullied by evil people. This event shows the suffering of many black people in full view. It happened in the Bronx, New York City. There are 2 groups of grotesque who are exploiting the death of a child to advance some political agenda. One group of grotesque people are exploiting the death of Javits to promote the lie that a majority of African Americans are teasing or have hatred of African people in America. The other group of grotesque people are using this tragedy to promote Afrophobia and anti-black bigotry against black people who are not black Americans. Both sides are two sides of the same coin of ignorance, self-hatred, and treason to the cause of justice. We want all black people to be free, irrespective of nationality. Anyone who doesn't want all black people to have justice worldwide is a traitor, and I don't care who it is. Some people have more hatred of Africa than anti-black racism. Some people care more for scapegoating black Americans than freedom for all in the African Diaspora. Many people in the Bronx have come together to fight against gun violence and bullying. The mother of Junior Guzman came to support solidarity with the family of Javits too. The mother of Junior Guzman has to deal with her son being murdered viciously by cowardly Trintarios gang members. So, the xenophobes in the ADOS and FBA movement are extremists, divisive, and harbor hatred of the beauty of Africa. The FBA and ADOS movements (promoted by Tariq Nasheed, Tone, Yvette Carnell, and others) are hate cults movements in my opinion. Those who hate on black Americans harbor ignorance and don't know real African American strength and accomplishments. We have different cultures as black people, but we are part of the same black African family. For example, a family in Georgia preserved a song for generations without knowing what its words meant. Researchers eventually discovered that it was a Mende funeral song from Sierra Leone passed down through the family since the era of slavery. In 1997, a descendant in Georgia met a woman in Sierra Leone who knew the same song. They sang it together, reconnecting a cultural tradition that had survived across the Atlantic for centuries. I am a black American from Virginia whose ancestors came from Nigeria, and the Congo/Angola region of Africa too. So, Javits and his family deserves justice 100 percent.
The King Philip's War resulted in the unjust genocide of many Native American people in New England. This tragic era lasted from 1675 to 1678. This war was a major conflict in New England between English colonists and the indigenous nations, like the Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Nipmuc people. The war was all over Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut plus surrounding areas. The war ended with the large Native American casaulties, displacement, and the destruction of native communities. By 1675, three Wampanoag men were murdered by the English that started the King Philip's War in June of 1675. Native Americans fought back against English colonial expansion and land seizures. By December 1674, English forces (led bym by many people like Josiah Winslow) attack a Narragansett settlement in the Great Swamp Fight, killing hundreds of Native people. By 1676, the fight spreads all over New England. Native villages are completely destroyed and many indigenous people were killed or dispalced. By August 1676, Metacom (King philip) was killed on the 12th in the Mount Hope area of Rhode Island. Resistance by Native Americans continue and the English forces pursue surviving indigenous fighters. By 1678, there was the Treaty of Casco Bay to help end the conflict in parts of the region. The war was devastating to Native Americans. Thousands of indigenous people died in the conflict, Native Americans were stolen of their land, and many indigenous survivors were forced to be slaves, including sent to the Caribbean. Native American communities saw disruption to their traditions, political structures, and way of life, and the Native Americans experienced massive population loss in New England. So, when we think about Thanksgiving, we should remember the suffering and genocide of Native Americans. There is a distinction between legitimate thanksgiving customs that existed for millennia among human history and the evil European colonialism and genocide of Native American people (which we should never celebrate or glorify at all period). In 1970, indigenous activist Wamsutta (Frank James) gave a speech that inspired the first National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1970.
Some North Carolina lawmakers closing polling sites on some college campuses is a disgrace. Those lawmakers who did this should be voted out and exposed as enemies of democracy. This is why voting matters. Voting is a human right that should be strengthened. Many activists are opposing this evil like Terrence Rouse of North Carolina. There should be early polling sites on all college campuses nationwide. In our time in 2026, we have less voting rights than in 1965 which is a shame. Many people don't know that democracy hangs in the balance, and our rights are being eliminated all of the time in America.
Right now, over 53 million people have already voted showing how strong our democracy is. Also, our democracy is threatened by Trump's threatening to steal votes, his plans to try to sue states if a Democrat wins, and him bashing mail in voting. Haley Stevens supports GOP MAGA follower Mike Rogers. It is one thing if she disagreed with El-Sayed on some issues but still rejects the agenda of Rogers. Yet, she completely sold out as Rogers is a far-right extremist who has views antithetical to the views of a large percentage of Americans. Stevens' longtime chief of staff and other aides Stevens and Rogers arrived separately at Perfecting Church, a prominent black church in Michigan. Many people from Stevens' political team have resigned. This comes after Stevens wanted El-Sayed to condemn the Rebellion PAC ad that claimed that Israel solely is to blamed for the high costs of groceries, which isn't true (as high prices are caused by tariffs, the war in Iran, bad laws being passed, and other issues). Likewise, the Netayahu regime in Israel is complicit in overt war crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza and in the West Bank. Still, El-Sayed (who has been a victim of racist and Islamophobic attacks which are evil and wrong) should condemn an ad with Tucker Carlson in it. Carlson is a notorious sexist, racist, and extremist. Yet, Rogers promoted blatant Islamophobic rhetoric against Mike Rogers showing that Rogers is not ready for primetime.
