Video is reupped in OP.

I'm older so my tendency is to locate, and download or buy documentaries that I like. Not possessing a physical copy of content is a new and foreign concept to me. I saved most of the docs. on that channel.

We don't lease stream, we buy the whole car download to watch later.
your'e smart I gotta start doing that...do you have the docs sitting on a server somewhere? or just on your computer? bc i would ask you to send em to me but idk what you workin with....just bought a 1tb hard drive yesterday and could put it to good use.

Journalism has nothing to do with education, where you publish, or anything like that.

Its about the truth of the content, whether that is opinion pieces or it is investigative. Truthful reporting and intellectual honesty is all that is required.

I think the youtube media from Yvette, to BlackTruth, to even Tariq do that just as well as MSM white new orgs and there is no reason to tear them down whatsoever

Not a single person in the thread compared them to white news org.

I said that when compared to actual Black media.....these yters are pathetic and can hardly qualify as journalists. They delivery glorified reaction videos and editorials.....not news.
I'm certain you've noted commentary from each one of them that you KNEW was not truthful or intellectually honest. You just chose to ignore it for whatever reason.

Feel free to have your opinion.
I disagree and I stated why.

If I disagree with any of them I state so, that daid outside of jason black, whom I mo longer follow, I dont think any of them engage in bad faith opinion pieces, which is largely what they do.

Attacking editorialists because they arent beat reporters or investigative journalists makes no sense to me, but you do you.

Difference between an editorial that you might disagree with on points......and an editorial where the person LIES, distorts facts or misleads people.

I've said throughout the forum that if it was just me disagreeing with a person's take...I'd leave a lot of this stuff alone.
Only these YTers know the reason they feel the need to LIE to their audiences.
Only their audiences know the reason they hear and note these LIES, but continue to listen to them.

If you arent going to post specific examples of people knowing lying, then its pointless.

Plus ytubers is such a broad brush its pointless. I find Gus Renegadr more like a Hardball type interviewer, in a different lane than a Tariq, who is different than a Blacktruth.

So if you dislike a specific personality call that person out and post evidence and keep it moving. If you wont, your plea is nothing more than based on the media used to present and to me meritless.

I've played the moving goalpost game with fans of that guy.
But let's do it again.

Tariq, who is affiliated with los angeles street gangs, actually said that Black immigrant gang members were DIRECTLY responsible for the escalation of violence between Blood and Crips out there.

I had/have a post all set to REFUTE this. News articles about the first deaths associated with B/C sets, video clips of the guys who were arrested for some of those crimes, and the details about how.where and by whom these gangs were formed out of smaller gangs. Family members of those gang members peaking directly about how the violence escalated from fist fights to bodies dropping. None of the principals in any of these stories are from immigrant background.
Once the bodies started falling, the violence spiraled out of control...and when crack and the availability of high powered weapons hit the streets, unfortunately it ramped up even further.
He also said that these Black immigrant B/C gang members were responsible for bringing drugs into Los Angeles hoods. Now, most people know that there has been a sizable Mexican American population out in So Cal for DECADES. Their gang culture probably predate Black street gangs out there. The criminal element of that community and the Salvadoran community brokered bringing coke and crack to Los Angeles. Tariq is LYING.

here is video that posted segments of him saying this stuff
from cued to 9:30


again, I've done this before, and that's what discouraged me from completing the post debunking this stuff.
People know he's lying, but for whatever reason continue listening.
==================================

and yes, the same Tariq who was hugging the late AA/Eritrean Rollin 20s crip member's nuts earlier this year.

1) Dont talk to me about people who blindly support Tariq. You and I are having convo, its unnecessary.

That said you dont even need to cite how full of BS Tariq when he daid the stuff about cripa and bloods and drug dealing. Lol.

I look at Tariq as an entertainers first, a news source as secondary. That said to me he isnt that bad because he isnt a standard.

That said I can understand anyone who simply refuses to listen to him. He dugbthat credibility issue, he'll havento fix it.

That said are you really grouping gus renegade, blacktruth, and yvette in the same category as Tariq

Earl G. Graves Sr., Morgan State alumnus and founder of Black Enterprise magazine, dies

By Jacques Kelly
Baltimore Sun |
Apr 07, 2020

Black Enterprise magazine is responsible for highlighting, championing and guiding black entrepreneurs in America. Founder Earl G. Graves Sr. first published the magazine in 1970, and for decades Black Enterprise has been the leading resource for prospective or current black business owners.(John Mathew Smith/Wikimedia Commons)

Earl G. Graves Sr., who founded Black Enterprise magazine after spending his undergraduate years at Morgan State University, died Monday night, his family announced.

His son, Earl “Butch” Graves Jr. said his father, 85 years old, suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.


Former U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume said, “Earl set the tone and the tenor of the civil rights movement. I affectionately called him my Big Brother. He had a huge role in my life.”

Former Baltimore Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke recalled Mr. Graves.

“My acquaintance with Earl spans four decades,” said Mr. Schmoke, the president of the University of Baltimore. "I first met him as a junior staff member working in the President Jimmy Carter administration. He was promoting an early program to benefit minority businesses.



“His advocacy for minority businesses goes back half a century,” Mr. Schmoke, a Democrat, said.

Earl G. Graves Sr., was an entrepreneur and founder of "Black Enterprise Magazine." His philanthropic efforts at Morgan were rewarded with the naming the Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management. Graves graduated in 1957.((Baltimore Sun/Nanine Hartzenbusch))
The former mayor described Mr. Graves.

“He was gregarious and outgoing but was hard-charging in business,” Mr. Schmoke said. “Earl was fun-loving and a delight to be around.”

Mr. Schmoke said he became reacquainted with Mr. Graves when he was a trustee at Washington D.C.'s Howard University and the former mayor was then dean of the law school.

“Earl was a great promoter of Howard’s business school, and later the business school at Morgan was named after him,” Mr. Schmoke said.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Mr. Graves earned an economics degree at Morgan and served in the Army as a Green Beret captain. He subsequently became a staff member in the office of U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. Mr. Graves recalled growing up in a Brooklyn brownstone with a stern father and warm, spirited mother who insisted that the local YMCA be integrated so her son could swim.

Mr. Graves returned to the Morgan campus in 1997 to discuss a book he had written, “How to Succeed in Business Without Being White.”

This Aug. 17, 1997, file photo shows Earl G. Graves Sr. in New York with his book "How to Succeed in Business Without Being White." Graves Sr., who championed black businesses as the founder of the first African American-owned magazine focusing on black entrepreneurs, has died. He was 85.(BEBETO MATTHEWS/AP)

“Earl G. Graves has always been clear about what he wanted,” a Sun story said. “Even as a business student at then-Morgan State College in the late 1950s, he would proclaim to anyone who asked: ‘I want to make a lot of money and I want to create change.’"

While a student in Baltimore, he sold corsages on campus and cut grass along Hillen Road. He later sold Brooklyn, New York, real estate and founded Black Enterprise magazine in 1971.

He recalled how his Morgan classmates laughed at his ambitions. He said that in the 1950s, few corporations recruited African Americans and few banks were handing out business loans, The Sun’s story about him said.

Mr. Graves donated more than $1 million to Morgan State and at one time sat corporate boards, including DaimlerChrysler Corp., American Airlines and Federated Department Stores Inc.

He also headed the Washington D.C. Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co., a large minority-operated franchise.

Mr. Mfume, a Democrat, recalled a visit from Mr. Graves and Myrlie Evers, widow of Medgar Evers, when he was serving in the House of Representatives and representing Baltimore’s 7th District.

“They begged and pleaded with me to come and take over the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I respected both of them. ... Earl had a sense of purpose, determination and dignity," said Mr. Mfume, who agreed to take the NAACP position.

Mr. Mfume also said that Mr. Graves enjoyed his role in politics and was one of the most influential proponents of the presidency of Democrat Barack Obama.



Reflecting on his time at Morgan, Mr. Graves said, “I may have been the slowest man ever to have a place on the Morgan State track team, but, when it came to running after money, I was an Olympian, then and now.”

His wife of many years, Barbara Kydd, died in 2012.

“Earl’s biggest hurdle was the loss of his wife," Mr. Mfume said. "He personified what a family man was. They would open their house in Scarsdale to me at Christmas or for Super Bowl parties.”

In addition to his son, survivors include two other sons, Johnny Graves and Michael Graves, and eight grandchildren.

A funeral has not been announced.

Georgia African American newspapers digitized and published online with federal grant

March 22, 2021

Savannah Tribune

The-Athens-Republique.jpg


Athens Republique


After completing digitization, the Digital Library of Georgia announced last week that two historically significant African-American newspapers are now available online with free access.

Archives of the Savannah Tribune and Athens Republique are now available through the Georgia Historic Newspapers (GHN). They will also be accessible in the Library of Congress’ newspaper site, Chronicling America.

https://www.ajc.com/life/40-acre-tr...s-on-election-day/IKLXZFKNGJCLPEZ6UC6NMCYPPE/
The publications’ successful digitalization and open internet accessibility was made possible by a National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

The NDNP is a partnership between the NEH and the Library of Congress. It is a continuing endeavor to create a searchable online database of U.S. newspapers that includes detailed information and digitization of historic pages, according to the LOC website.

Meanwhile, the NEH is an independent federal agency and one of the United States’ biggest funders of humanities programs. It aims to convey the lessons of history to all Americans.

“NEH grants help strengthen and sustain American cultural life, in communities, at museums, libraries, and historic sites, and in classrooms,” former NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede said in a statement. “As the nation prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary in 2026, NEH is proud to help lay the foundations for public engagement with America’s past by funding projects that safeguard cultural heritage and advance our understanding of the events, ideas, and people that have shaped our nation.”
