Now, before you jump to conclusions, hear me out! I (host Paul Roland) got the idea for this show after I came across a stimulating article ("Why I Teach White History Month in February") by an African-American activist and writer from Chicago. Diallo Kenyatta (who I tried--a bit late--to get on the show) is a Pan-Africanist based in Chicago. He’s been active in the Black empowerment and liberation movement for 20 years, starting in high school with the Stop the Violence Coalition and the Block Brothers Program. He has also been a member of the Black United Front, and helped to found the Black Oppression Opposition (B.O.O.M.) Movement in Kansas City.
As Kenyatta writes, "White people should be outraged by the way that American society has misrepresented their culture. White History is constructed on easily disprovable myths, which drive the white masses into psychosis, trying to reconcile those historical myths, lies, and distortions with the reality of the world.
"I have taken it upon myself to help them. It’s sad really, seeing all these white racists yelling about America being the home of freedom, democracy, and opportunity. What depths of cognitive dissonance must they suffer from, to assert that their founding fathers were freedom loving enslavers?"
