In this powerful conversation, journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates joins Bill Moyers to explore one of the most urgent and controversial topics in America: reparations for African Americans. Based on Coates’ groundbreaking essay in The Atlantic, this interview challenges viewers to confront not just the legacy of slavery, but also the continuing injustice rooted in systemic racism, white supremacy, and unequal protection under the law. “I am not asking you, as a white person, to see yourself as an enslaver,” says Coates. “I'm asking you as an American to see all the freedoms you enjoy... and how they are rooted in things this country condoned.” Together, they explore how generations of Black Americans have been denied wealth, safety, justice, and freedom — and why reparations are not just about payment, but about truth, healing, and national integrity.
The Civil War wasn't just about slavery versus freedom. It was about money. We uncover the true origin of the Amer. Civil War & reveal what history got wrong about causes of the deadliest conflict in US history. Most people learn: No. fought to end slavery, the So. fought to keep it. But the real history of slavery in America is far more unsettling. By 1860, Slaves were the single most valuable financial asset in the country, worth more than every railroad, factory, & bank combined.

Trump packed several messages into those few sentences. First he said, "Black people seeking reparations want to steal from other Americans. The other people, definitely includes whites mostly, but also Asians, Arabs, Latinos & even some other groups of people. Basically he's weaponizing he's weaponizing our just demand for reparations against us. Because he could have said, "I oppose reparations." Or he could have said, "I don't believe the fed govt owes reparations."
Tim Scott hit the stage for Republicans. Roland Martin says what followed was a cringe-worthy performance, a Black MAGA minstrel show & one more example of a Black Rep. staying silent while Black people are being targeted. Tim Scott took the stage to hype Trump, bash Dems & sell the Rep. midterm message. Roland Martin’s verdict was immediate: Tim Scott sounded like a damn fool. Roland calls Scott’s speech cringe-worthy from the jump, then tears thru the performance line.

America has broad races elements still alive; racism is still existing in American society in many areas of the society, North and South, and the other thing is that there has never been a single solid determined commitment of large segments of white America on the whole question of racial equality. I think we have to see that vacillation has always existed, ambivalence has always existed, and this to me is the so-called white backlash is merely a new name for an old phenomenon. I see the white backlash is a continuation of the same ambivalence and vacillation of white America, and the whole question of racial justice that existed since the founding of our nation.
Hate defined by Miriam Webster definition is an intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger or sense of injury. So when I say hate, I'm using the Miriam Webster dictionary's definition, an intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger or sense of injury. It could also be extreme dislike or dis disgust uh antipathy or loathing. I mean, those are strong words, but they describe what we have seen coming from white people toward Black folks generally over many, many, many years. Where does this come from? What is it in white culture that brings about this type of hatred? If we can ever get an answer to this, have a serious discussion about this hate, maybe we can see how to deconstruct that hatred. So, I'm raising the question. Why whites hate Blacks. So, here are some reasons that I offer as a reason why whites hate Blacks generally. Number one, a justification for greed. Now, I got to look to scripture on this because I'm a Christian. I'm an attorney, but I'm also a Christian. In fact, I'm a minister. So, I got to go to the scripture for answers. I I'm not going to look to psychologist or anthropologist or the like. I'm going to go to the source of creation. All right? GOD.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders delivered a speech in the Senate, calling for an immediate halt to Amer. military aid to Israel & condemning the ongoing war in Gaza as well as its expansion into Lebanon & Iran. Sanders argued that U.S. taxpayer money should not support what he described as illegal & destructive military actions, citing rising civilian casualties & humanitarian concerns; accused Israeli PM Netanyahu of pursuing policies that undermine possibility of a Palestinian state.
Facing rapid Houthi advances & a refusal of direct U.S. military strikes, Saudi Arabia is turning to Israeli military intelligence via US CENTCOM, bringing Riyadh to the brink of an historic anti-Iran alliance. For decades, the idea of Saudi Arabia sharing military intelligence with Israel was considered a political impossibility. A line Riyadh simply would not cross W/O a formal peace treaty & an independent state for the Palestinians. They are under intense military pressure.
Saudi Arabia called Donald Trump twice — asking for U.S. military help as the Iran war expanded toward the Red Sea & the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. WA did not agree to direct U.S. strikes against the Iran-aligned Houthis, instead offering intelligence & targeting support. The question is what that decision means for Saudi Arabia, Iran, U.S. & the future of the Middle East. In this military & geopolitical analysis, we examine the rapidly changing Iran war, the Houthi advance, the strategic importance of Bab el-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia’s exposed energy infrastructure, and the growing pressure on global oil markets. We also examine the Saudi East-West oil pipeline disruption, Iran’s regional pressure strategy, the Houthi threat to Red Sea shipping, Washington’s evolving approach to Saudi Arabia, and the wider geopolitical competition involving Iran, China, Russia & the U.S. The consequences extend far beyond the battlefield.

China has reportedly pressed Iran in private to help restrain Yemen’s Houthi movement after Saudi Arabia sought Beijing’s help amid escalating attacks and Houthi advances near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Reuters, citing three Iranian sources familiar with the discussions, reported that China urged Tehran to prevent the conflict from spreading across vital energy and trade routes. Riyadh’s appeal reflects concern that instability around the Red Sea chokepoint could endanger Saudi oil exports and commercial traffic. Tehran reportedly told Beijing that lasting regional stability depends on ending the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. China has not confirmed the private discussions, but said it opposes further escalation and supports resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation.
Saudis are refusing to lift the siege on ordinary Yemen civilians & even though Ansar Allah, Yemen armed forces, Yemen govt were becoming increasingly impatient, but they didn't launch a war until Saudis carried out that act of war. I think that that's a really important point to always remember. It's sort of like when in American mainstream media they're always distorting the reality & after MOU was signed & Americans began violating the MOU, then Iran struck three ships.

One of the most fundamental and far-reaching deeds that has been accomplished during the last quarter of a century has been that by which the Negro has been helped to find himself and to learn the secrets of civilization–to learn that there are a few simple, cardinal principles upon which a race must start its upward course, unless it would fail, and its last estate be worse than its first.
On the plantation in Virginia, and even later, Douglass tells how meals were given to the children, very much as dumb animals get theirs. It was a piece of bread here and a scrap of meat there. It was a cup of milk at one time and some potatoes at another.
