The end results of a Mass Formation Psychosis

The conversations among the Green Party and other progressive voices have shifted to the level of conspiracy surrounding the COVID-19 response and whether it should be classified as high as the JFK assassination or 9/11. Some progressives believe that this may be the most serious conspiracy in modern history, while others disagree. The "anti-vaxxer" conspiracy theories initially tried to point out that this was a massive form of psychosis that should be stopped immediately, but they were met with pushback from the mainstream media, who provided "fact-checks" and claimed that there was no evidence of a "mass formation psychosis" occurring during the pandemic.

International Day for People of African Descent

Every year on August 31st, the world celebrates the International Day for People of African Descent. The first time this day was commemorated in the world was on this date in 2021 via the United Nations. As mentioned on their website, “Through this Observance, the United Nations aims to promote the extraordinary contributions of the African diaspora around the world and to eliminate all forms of discrimination against people of African descent. On 19 June 2020, the Human Rights Council adopted the resolution on the ‘Promotion and protection of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Africans and people of African descent against excessive use of force and other human rights violations by law enforcement officers.’ Pursuant to this resolution, the High Commissioner for Human Rights presented to the Human Rights Council at its 47th session her agenda towards transformative change for racial justice and equality.”  Thus, it is a reminder that even after chattel slavery was abolished in most countries in the world, Black people continued to globally suffer from racism, discrimination and segregation throughout generations even through today.   Continue reading

NBC Newsletter May 2021

Police.  Brutality. National News: The month of April, 2021 was full of mixed emotions for those of us in the Black Community. While the conviction of Derek Chauvin on charges of murder and manslaughter was a relief to those who on some level was expecting another acquittal, news of the murder of 20 year old Daunte Wright in Minnesota less than 10 miles away from where the jury was deliberating renewed national anger and sparked a series of protests and riots, which resulted in rubber bullets being fired at demonstrators and tear gas being launched into crowds in Minnesota. NBC Co-Chair Trahern Crews has been among the many at the forefront of some of these protests and has issued statements regarding the outrage at the slew of police killings in his community. Mr. Crews has been an outspoken advocate for the people that have been killed in Minnesota, and has been a member of Black Lives Matter since 2014. The NBC will be issuing a statement regarding his work and experiences with the BLM movement in the very near future on our communications platform Flock, via email and on Nation builder.  Continue reading

NBC Statement Regarding Derek Chauvin Conviction

We could all hear the exhalation of breath around the world after the jury in Minneapolis, MN returned the verdicts convicting Derek Chauvin of the murder of George Floyd after only 10 hours.  The city of Minneapolis was prepared for the possibility of ensuing violence with businesses boarded up and the national guard called in…anticipating yet another acquittal for yet another white man killing a Black man. Hope for another obvious case resulting in justice, yet moderate expectations of yet another police killing gone unpunished.  This time it was different. Video testimony taken by a brave 17 year old showed the last 9 minutes  of George Floyd’s life as he pleaded for his life.  The world watched a previously healthy man before alive and well in the grocery store just minutes before he died during the trial. This should have been a foregone conclusion, and yet our expectations were still low due to the long history of police murders of Black people that had gone without punishment.  And yet the feeling that justice was finally being met out was only fleeting.   Continue reading
