White Supremacy Threatens South Africa’s Sovereignty, But What About America?

/

By Tim Cocks (Reuters)Blog Commentary & Call to Action South African President Cyril Ramaphosa recently sounded the alarm: ideas of white racial superiority are not only a threat to South Africa’s post-apartheid unity, but also to its sovereignty and international relations. Speaking at an ANC conference, Ramaphosa condemned false narratives of “white persecution” that continue to circulate in far-right spaces globally. These myths, he warned, have real consequences for diplomacy and national security. Yet while Ramaphosa calls for global efforts to debunk these lies, U.S. President Donald Trump has chosen to amplify them. Trump boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg, alleging without evidence that South Africa mistreats its white minority. He claimed white farmers were being “slaughtered” and their land “illegally confiscated.” These claims have been widely debunked, but they continue to fuel white supremacist rhetoric worldwide. Here’s the hypocrisy: Trump accuses South Africa of racism against whites yet remains silent on the systemic racism and repression of Black people in America. In South Africa, a wrong was made right, apartheid was dismantled, and the nation continues to strive for unity. In America, however, racism remains deeply entrenched. Black men are killed at alarming rates, the justice system turns a blind eye, and the trauma of racial injustice grows worse every day. Before the pot calls the kettle black, America must look inward. Stop throwing stones when you live in a glass house. The U.S. government cannot credibly lecture others on racial justice while ignoring the oppression within its own borders. Black people in America continue to face systemic racism and deadly police violence at rates far higher than other groups, making Donald Trump’s accusations against South Africa not only hypocritical but deeply offensive. Police Violence Against Black Americans Examples of Systemic Racism in America Systemic racism is not limited to policing, it permeates nearly every aspect of American life: Taken together, these examples show that racism in America is not incidental, it is systemic, structural, and ongoing. Blog Post Framing South Africa, under Ramaphosa, is working to dismantle the legacy of apartheid and build unity. Meanwhile, America continues to deny or downplay its own racial injustices. For Donald Trump to accuse South Africa of racism against whites while ignoring the daily trauma of Black Americans is the ultimate hypocrisy. Before the pot calls the kettle black, America must confront its own house of glass. Stop throwing stones abroad while ignoring the shattered lives at home. Sources: Statista factually.co NBC News campaignzero.org Human Rights Careers Robert F. Smith News Call to Action It’s time to: So I ask again: Should Donald Trump and the U.S. government be called out for this hypocrisy? The answer seems clear, yes, loudly and globally. Rallying Cry No more silence, no more lies,  We see the truth with open eyes.  From Soweto to Harlem streets,  Black voices rise, we won’t retreat.  Justice delayed is justice denied,  Too many brothers have already died.  Glass houses crack when stones are thrown,  America fix the rot in your own.  Unite the people, across the land,  Together in strength, we take a stand.  From Cape Town’s shore to Detroit’s fight,  Black power united will set things right.

Dr. Keyimani Alford: Reclaiming Narratives, Empowering Voices

/

Dr. Keyimani Alford is more than a leader; he is a storyteller, healer, and advocate whose life’s work bridges the worlds of education, authorship, and empowerment. Born in Oakland, California, and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dr. Alford grew up navigating instability, poverty, and family absence. Those early challenges shaped his belief that education is not only a pathway to freedom but also a tool for rewriting one’s story. As a first-generation college graduate who went on to earn his Ph.D. in Education, Dr. Alford understands the barriers faced by students from marginalized backgrounds. His research focuses on retention and persistence for first-generation and minority male students at predominantly White institutions, emphasizing that relationships and belonging are critical to success. Today, as Associate Vice President of Student Access & Success at Madison College, he leads initiatives that help students overcome financial, systemic, and personal obstacles so they can thrive. His leadership is rooted in empathy, accountability, and the conviction that systems should serve students, not the other way around. Championing Underserved Communities Dr. Alford’s commitment extends far beyond campus walls. Through his involvement in organizations such as WASFAA, College Goal Wisconsin, and MASFAA (where he serves as President-Elect), he advocates for policies that expand access and equity in higher education. His work ensures that underserved students, veterans, first-generation learners, and minority communities, have the support they need to persist and graduate. He also founded Keywords Unlocked, LLC, a publishing and coaching company designed to amplify everyday voices, particularly Black and underrepresented authors. By equipping writers with tools and strategies to move from manuscript to marketplace, Dr. Alford is dismantling barriers in the publishing industry and ensuring that marginalized stories are not only told but celebrated. Author and Storyteller Dr. Alford’s own catalog of books reflects the power of storytelling as a tool for healing and leadership: Oakland Hills, Milwaukee Rivers: A Memoir of Survival, Identity, and Purpose In Oakland Hills, Milwaukee Rivers, I invite readers into the quiet rooms, crowded churches, and complicated family moments that shaped me as a Black boy learning to survive, belong, and believe in his own worth. This memoir walks through childhood trauma, father loss, religious shame, identity questions, and the hidden weight of silence, while tracing how grace kept showing up in unexpected people and places. It reads like sitting across from a friend who is finally telling the whole story, not the edited version. Readers will see their own questions on these pages. The book helps them name what hurt, grieve what was taken, and begin to reclaim their voice with honesty and dignity. They walk away with language for things they have carried for years, a deeper understanding of how identity and faith can coexist with pain, and a renewed belief that their story is not over. This memoir becomes a mirror and a map for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or afraid to be fully themselves. Unshaken Leadership: A Practical Blueprint for Overcoming Challenges, Learning from Mistakes, and Growing in Confidence Unshaken Leadership pulls back the curtain on what leadership really feels like when the title sounds good, but the pressure is heavy. Drawing from more than two decades in higher education, community, and faith-based spaces, I walk readers through the unspoken realities of leading people, managing politics, navigating conflict, and making hard decisions when you still feel like you are figuring it out yourself. Each chapter blends story, reflection, and practical strategy so readers see the lessons in real situations, not just theory on a page. This book is written for new and growing leaders who are tired of pretending they have it all together and are ready to lead with honesty, courage, and emotional intelligence. Readers gain language for the challenges they are facing, tools for balancing vision and boundaries, and frameworks they can immediately apply with their teams. The goal is simple: to help leaders stand firm when things shake around them, learn from their missteps without shame, and grow into a version of leadership that feels both effective and authentic. Self-Publishing from Scratch: A Practical Guide for Authors to Publish Successfully with Insights for Black Voices Self-Publishing from Scratch is a step-by-step roadmap for everyday people who feel called to write a book and have no idea where to start. I walk readers through the full journey from idea to published book in plain language, breaking down what to write, how to edit, how to find a cover, how ISBNs work, what platforms to choose, and how to price and promote their work. Along the way, I share real stories, checklists, and behind-the-scenes lessons from my own publishing journey so readers avoid costly mistakes and gain the confidence to hit “publish” with clarity. This book especially centers Black and underrepresented voices who have been told their stories are “too much,” “too specific,” or “too risky” for traditional publishing. Readers come away with practical tools, a realistic plan, and the encouragement that they do not have to wait for permission to become an author. By the end, they understand the business and the heart of self-publishing, and they know exactly what to do next to turn a manuscript, a journal, or even a set of notes on their phone into a book in readers’ hands. Mile Markers of Life: A 100-Day Christian Devotional for Direction and Strength Mile Markers of Life is a 100-day devotional born from years of driving Wisconsin highways and noticing how the mile markers along the road mirrored the seasons of my own life. Each entry starts with a real-life scene and then connects it to Scripture, reflection, and a short prayer, helping readers see that God has been present in both the ordinary and painful parts of their journey. The readings are honest and accessible, designed for people who are carrying a lot and need encouragement that fits into real schedules and real emotions. Readers will experience a devotional that speaks to fatigue, grief, uncertainty, hope, and new beginnings with gentle

Lenacapavir: A Breakthrough HIV Prevention Tool Held Back by Global Funding Cuts

/

Adapted from reporting by Rachel Schraer, The Independent (Rethinking Global Aid Project) The closest thing we have to an HIV vaccine has finally arrived. Lenacapavir, a long-acting injectable medication that can prevent nearly 100% of HIV infections when administered twice yearly, is being hailed as revolutionary. Yet despite its promise, only a fraction of the people who need it will gain access. The Numbers Behind the Breakthrough The Cost and Access Challenge Why This Matters Globally Anne Aslett, CEO of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, called the rollout “unprecedented,” noting that doses are arriving in Eswatini at the same time as in the U.S., a sharp contrast to the early AIDS crisis, when African nations waited more than a decade for antiretroviral drugs. Still, she warns that funding gaps threaten progress. Vulnerable populations, young women, LGBTQ communities, sex workers, and people who use drugs, are often excluded from prevention services. Without reaching these groups, the epidemic cannot be contained. Innovation in Delivery 🇬🇧 The UK’s Role Mike Podmore, CEO of STOPAIDS, emphasizes that UK contributions are not just charity, they fuel domestic research and innovation. Agencies like Unitaid have invested £250m into UK universities over the past decade, strengthening both global and local HIV responses. The UK has set a goal to end new HIV transmissions by 2030, and expanding access to lenacapavir will be critical to achieving it. The Call to Action Ending HIV is within reach, but only if global leaders step up. Dr. Hill and advocates worldwide are urging wealthy nations to contribute to a proposed $400m fund to expand access without undermining existing HIV programs. This is a pivotal moment: decades of research and advocacy have brought us closer than ever to a cure. But without adequate funding, only 7% of those who need lenacapavir will receive it. What you can do: Together, we can ensure that this breakthrough doesn’t stall at the starting line. Let’s end HIV and make life better for all.

Seventh HIV Remission Sparks Hope, and Raises Questions About U.S. LeadershipOriginal reporting by Michelle Starr, Nature

/

A German man known as “Berlin 2 (B2)” has remained in remission from HIV for six years after a stem cell transplant to treat leukemia. This marks the seventh known case of long-term HIV remission worldwide. Unlike earlier cases, B2’s donor carried only one copy of the CCR5 Δ32 mutation, previously thought insufficient for durable resistance. His remission challenges assumptions and opens new pathways for understanding how HIV reservoirs can be eliminated. Globally, 40.8 million people were living with HIV in 2024, with 1.3 million new infections and 630,000 AIDS-related deaths. In the U.S., 39,201 new diagnoses were reported in 2023, disproportionately impacting Black and Latino communities, especially in the South. These breakthroughs abroad raise urgent questions: For those living with HIV/AIDS, these questions are not abstract, they are about survival. If you are reading this and living with HIV, ask your doctor about the current status of cure research. Demand transparency. Stem cell transplants are not scalable cures, but they prove that reservoir reduction, graft-versus-reservoir responses, and partial CCR5 protection can lead to remission. The challenge now is whether America will invest in replicating these mechanisms through gene editing and pharmaceutical innovation or continue to let others lead while its citizens wait.

The Meaning of World AIDS Day World AIDS Day was first established in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNAIDS, making it the first-ever global health day Wikipedia Britannica. Its purpose is to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, show solidarity with people living with HIV, and honor the millions who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. The red ribbon, adopted in 1991, remains the universal symbol of support and remembrance Britannica. Each year, the day carries a theme. In 2025, the theme is “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response” — a reminder that funding cuts, stigma, and inequality threaten decades of progress Moneycontrol. Historical Context and Data Strides in Treatment and Prevention The fight against HIV/AIDS has seen remarkable progress: The Future Outlook While progress is undeniable, challenges remain: Closing Reflection World AIDS Day is not just about remembrance, it is about renewed commitment. We have turned HIV from a death sentence into a chronic condition, but stigma, inequity, and funding gaps still stand in the way of ending the epidemic. The future depends on global solidarity, scientific innovation, and community-led action. Ending AIDS is possible but only if we choose compassion, equity, and sustained investment.

Norovirus cases are surging across the U.S., with test positivity nearly doubling since late summer. States most impacted include Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Louisiana, Michigan, and Indiana. The CDC stresses that prevention hinges on thorough handwashing with soap and water, safe food handling, and disinfecting contaminated surfaces. NBC News CBS News ABC News CDC

/

Norovirus: America’s “Winter Vomiting Disease” on the Rise Norovirus, often called the “winter vomiting disease”, is once again sweeping across the country. Unlike other viruses with a fat-based envelope that alcohol sanitizers can break down, norovirus is encased in a rugged protein shell called a capsid, making it resistant to hand sanitizers. That means soap and water for at least 20 seconds is the most effective defense. Current Trends and Data CDC Recommendations for Prevention The CDC emphasizes several key steps to stop norovirus from spreading CDC CDC: Why This Matters Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the U.S., responsible for 20 million infections annually, over 100,000 hospitalizations, and nearly 900 deaths each year CBS News. It spreads easily through contaminated food, water, surfaces, and person-to-person contact. Symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, can appear within 12–48 hours and last 1–3 days. Vulnerable groups include young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Community Call to Action This surge is not just a public health issue, it’s a matter of community responsibility. By practicing rigorous hygiene, safe food handling, and responsible caregiving, we can protect ourselves and those most at risk. Norovirus thrives in close-contact environments, but prevention is in our hands, literally.

A Sheriff with a Mission: The Story of Charlotte’s Unyielding Protector

/

*This piece is inspired by the original reporting of Lauren Mascarenhas for CNN.* In a time when the debate over immigration and law enforcement remains as heated as ever, one figure stands out in the community of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sheriff Garry McFadden, a former homicide detective and a recognizable face from the television screen, is not just any sheriff; he is a guardian aiming to protect his citizens while navigating the complexities of immigration enforcement. A Robust Background Garry McFadden’s journey to becoming a sheriff is one marked by resilience and dedication. Before stepping into his role as the sheriff, McFadden served as a homicide detective for over 20 years. This experience armed him with a deep understanding of criminal justice, empathy for victims, and an eye for the broader implications of crime in society. His work in law enforcement was complemented by his appearances on the A&E network’s “The First 48,” where he showcased his investigative skills and humanity as he handled sensitive cases. This unique combination of experience behind the badge and in front of the camera has endeared McFadden to citizens and given him a platform to address issues affecting the community. His tenure in law enforcement has shaped his perspective, particularly towards the immigrant population. Standing Firm Against ICE Sheriff McFadden has made headlines for his staunch opposition to the practices of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). His approach centers around the belief that local law enforcement should not act as an extension of federal immigration authorities. This stance is not merely a political statement; it is a reflection of his commitment to protecting all citizens, regardless of their immigration status. He understands that fear of deportation can prevent crime victims and witnesses from coming forward, ultimately putting the entire community at risk. McFadden’s advocacy extends beyond rhetoric; he actively seeks to build bridges between the sheriff’s department and marginalized communities. He often emphasizes the importance of community trust in law enforcement. By not cooperating with ICE on low-level offenses, he aims to nurture an environment where all residents feel safe reporting crimes. A Community Focus The strength of Sheriff McFadden lies not only in his dedication to fair policing but also in his community involvement. He frequently attends local events, engages with residents, and tackles various issues affecting Charlotte’s neighborhoods. From youth mentorship programs to initiatives aimed at curbing domestic violence, McFadden’s leadership goes beyond traditional law enforcement. His command is marked by transparency, as he is unafraid to discuss the complexities of policing in public forums. He listens to constituents’ concerns, making residents feel heard and valued, thereby strengthening the ties between citizens and their sheriff’s office. Embracing A New Era of Leadership Sheriff Garry McFadden’s approach to leadership represents a new era in law enforcement where community protection and civil rights intersect. By standing firm against ICE, he not only protects vulnerable populations but also fosters a culture of inclusivity and trust. In a world often divided by policy and opinion, McFadden stands as an emblem of a law enforcement official who is not just about enforcing the law but about serving the community. With a commitment to transparency and community engagement, McFadden continues to impact Charlotte positively. His background as a detective, his experience in the spotlight, and his unwavering dedication to protecting all citizens have come together to form a sheriff who embodies strength, compassion, and resolve. As we witness the evolving landscape of immigration enforcement and community relations, Sheriff McFadden serves as an inspiring example of how one individual’s leadership can make a profound difference.

When Does It Stop? Black Women Deserve Dignity, Not Discrimination

/

Credit: Original reporting by Jeroslyn JoVonn On November 6th, nine Black women gathered at the Cork and Bull Chophouse in Chesapeake, Virginia for what was meant to be a joyful Friendsgiving celebration. Instead, their evening turned into humiliation and pain. According to reporting by Jeroslyn JoVonn, a fight broke out between two women who were not part of their group. Yet, despite having no involvement, the nine friends were told to leave. When one of them asked why, a manager allegedly responded: “Because you all like to fight.” The women, who had simply come together for fellowship, were forced to stand up in front of other patrons and exit the restaurant, while the actual individuals involved in the altercation had already left. As one of the women, Shakoya Holt, explained, “We were all put in a negative spotlight in that moment. It was all eyes on us, very embarrassing.” Now, the group has hired attorney Joyvan Malbon-Griffin, who has stated that this treatment was discriminatory and violated their rights. “All nine of these women were treated more harshly than the two people who were actually engaged in the misdemeanor action,” Malbon-Griffin said. The women are seeking accountability and justice. The Bigger Picture This incident is not isolated. It reflects a broader pattern of how Black people, especially Black women, continue to be disrespected, stereotyped, and discriminated against in public spaces. To assume guilt based on race, and to punish those who were minding their own business, is not only unjust but deeply harmful. How do you justify removing nine women who were not involved, while excusing the actual participants in the fight? How do you justify humiliating them in front of an entire restaurant? This is not just bad judgment, it is systemic bias. And when establishments act this way, they are not only violating the dignity of their customers, but also potentially violating constitutional protections and the Commerce Clause, which ensures equal access and fair treatment in public accommodations. The Questions We Must Ask A Call for Accountability The women involved have said “enough is enough.” And they are right. We must demand accountability from businesses that perpetuate discrimination. We must call out injustice when we see it. And we must remind every establishment: Black women, and all marginalized communities, deserve respect, safety, and dignity. Until accountability is enforced, these incidents will continue. But by shining a light on them, by refusing to stay silent, and by demanding justice, we can push for change. Closing Thought This is about more than one restaurant. It is about a culture that too often stereotypes and mistreats Black people. It is about ensuring that our communities are not humiliated, dismissed, or denied their rights. Treat your customers with dignity and respect. Period.

17 Shots in the Back, When Will Justice Come?

/

Credit: Original reporting by Joe Walker (@joewalkr, The Independent) Atlanta rapper B Green, born Linton Blackwell, was shot and killed on October 11th outside Five Paces Inn in Buckhead. The autopsy revealed a chilling truth: he was shot 17 times in the back by off-duty police officer Gerald Walker, who was working security at the bar. Police claim Walker was responding to reports of a “disruptive person.” They allege that Green attempted to re-enter the bar through a rear entrance and later placed an item in the small of his back. Commands were issued “in reference to a gun,” and moments later, Green was gunned down. Investigators later found a firearm, but the autopsy makes clear: every single bullet entered his back. Green’s manager and friend, Timothy Coleman, expressed disbelief: “I just couldn’t believe it was 17 times in the back. There’s not one shot in the front. If he wasn’t pointing a gun at you or doing anything, what does that have to do with shooting him in the back 17 times? That means he wasn’t facing you. He wasn’t a threat.” Green was a father of twin girls, a family man, and an artist who left behind a legacy, including his final album PTSD: Vietnam Vet released in 2020. The Larger Issue This is not just about one man. This is about a system that continues to allow police officers, sworn to protect, to kill Black men with impunity. And what makes this even more painful is the reality that Black officers, too, have participated in this cycle of violence against their own communities. The badge, in too many cases, has become a shield for abuse rather than a symbol of protection. The Questions We Must Confront A Call for Accountability It is long past time to demand change. Calls to “defund” are not about chaos, they are about redirecting resources away from militarized policing and toward community safety, mental health, education, and opportunity. Every time another Black man is killed, we are reminded that reform alone is not enough. Accountability must be real. Justice must be enforced. And communities must be empowered to protect themselves from the very institutions that claim to serve them.

It is part of a decades-long crisis of police violence against Black men. Until accountability is real and systemic change is enforced, these killings will continue. Sources: Wikipedia CBC Statista mappingpoliceviolence.us Closing Thought B Green’s death is not just a tragedy, it is a symptom of a system that continues to devalue Black lives. Seventeen shots in the back is not policing. It is murder. The question remains: When will justice finally come?
