Episode Synopsis

In this episode we turn our attention to the African diaspora in the United States, the Black American experience. Our opinion in this episode is that this African diaspora have largely been ignored by others from the African diaspora outside the United States  or is unaware of the horrific trauma and brutal experience that Black Americans endured for life, liberty, and the pursuit for happiness. Due to the way America is perceived in the world, there is this notion that Black Americans are somehow different from members of the African diaspora residing in other countries. 
Perhaps this is so because the American movies and entertainment world, which is widely accessible across the globe, may have given our brothers and sisters in other countries the wrong impression that we, as the African diaspora in the United States, have carefree lives free from discrimination, harassment and racism. The pain, struggles, and humiliation that Black Americans had to historically endure may have been overlooked because there was this idea that most Black people in America were ‘lucky’ to be in the ‘Land of the Free and home of the brave’.
Today we have a guest Mr. Hasani A. Hudson. He is father, brother, an educator, and principal. We will spend the next hour discussing his perspective on the Black Americans experience on racism, affirmative Action, interracial marriage, black self-victimization, and much more.
