In this week’s Jazz and Justice “redux” we were joined by Chioma Oruh and Elen Awalom for a discussion of Africom and the militarization of the African continent. The discussion was wide-ranging, covering issues of colonialism, militarism and the non-profit-industrial-complex. Great music, great discussion and more each week Mondays 1-3p. Get a taste of the show below and consider purchasing the full show ($20) which will help support WPFW 89.3 FM – real liberated masses medium, community radio.
And be sure to join us live next week (online also) when Amiri Baraka and Tom Porter will be our guests to discuss electoral politics and, as Baraka has written lately of people like we who support the McKinney/Clemente campaign:
“But I’m talking about another substantial pimple of so distant, dare I say, intellectuals & self advertised radicals who are quite audible & wordy in opposition to Obama. I mention all this because it is criminal for these people claiming to be radical or intellectual to oppose or refuse to support Obama. I hope we don’t have to hear about “the lesser of two evils” from people whose foolish mirror worship wd have us elect the worst of two evils. For those who claim radical by supporting McKinney or, brain forbid, the Nadir of fake liberalism, we shoud have little sympathy. As much as I have admired Cynthia McKinney, to pose her candidacy as an alternative to Obama is at best empty idealism, at worst nearly as dangerous as when the Nader used the same windy egotism to help elect Bush.”
