Border Separation has chilling historical echoes of slavery… Tonight on ‘Conversation Of A Sistah’

The ReadyWriter

The Trump administration decided to work around the time restriction imposed by courts, by no longer treating families as units at these borders. Therefore parents are detained and children are “put into foster care or wherever,” in the infamously blasé words of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. Now images of these children sleeping on mats placed on the floor inside of a cage is heart breaking when shown around the country.

As with much of the administration’s actions, it’s difficult to parse how much of this policy is a new moral low for the country and how much of it builds on historical precedent.

As is generally the case, the answer is both.

Forced separation of families was, of course, central to the American regime of slavery. In a system that allowed for hereditary enslavement, children were transformed into property at birth.

As the system of human trafficking grew over the early 19th century, children were regularly sold away from their families for both economic and punitive reasons. Supporters of slavery dismissed moral arguments against this separation, asserting that black people lacked the emotional capacity to truly feel the pain of losing a child or parent.

This historical fact seems to be repeated as we see the Trump administration’s policies regarding immigrants and the U.S. border.

The Destructive Power of Hate, Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Hate is an extremely strong and powerful emotion, and if it is not dealt with accordingly it can kill.

Hate has the power to pollute your spirit, poison your soul and seep into all of the relationships that surround you. Hate turned outward is both dangerous and ugly. It can motivate violent crimes and damaging behaviors.

Hatred can stem from many different roots with an end result of bitterness, which will eventually destroy your soul.

Since the overall effects of hatred are so physically harmful and emotionally devastating, some people live their entire lives developing illnesses when the underlying root of it all is hate!!

Join host Tracy L. Bell at 6:30 p.m. EST via Blog Talk Radio on “Conversations of A Sistah” as we delve into the topic,  “The Destructive Power Of Hate“.

Race Appropriation, who owns it? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Race Appropriation, or cultural appropriation is when someone else adopts a style from a race that is not his or her own. But that’s not the whole story, appropriation refers to a particular power dynamic in which members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group. It’s fine to take aspects of another culture but when it permeates the masses, there lies the problem.

Recently in an interview with the breakfast club Azalia Banks slammed Cardi B for trying to impersonate a black woman. Cardi B is among a group of white and Hispanic rappers who are heavily promoted by the media as acceptable crossover hip-hop artists. This is not sitting well with other celebrities.

In a recent interview with the Breakfast Club, Banks dissed Cardi by calling her an “illiterate, untalented rat” and a “caricature of a black woman,” then dismissed the rapper as a one-hit wonder and not influential at all.

Several other artist have imitated us in the past as well. You have Eminen, Vanilla Ice, Jon B, Miley Cyrus, Iggy Izalea and Bruno Mars just to name a few.

So what is so wrong with imitating black R&B artist, rappers and entertainers?
