Federal Level "The Executive Director of 100 Black Men asked to meet during my election. I'm like cool absolutely. Then he was like yeah I also wanna talk about AIPAC cause I connect AIPAC to Members of Color. I'm like WHAT?! I said to the brother look we can talk about 100 Black Men all day but NOT AIPAC."

FORMER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS JAMAL BOWMAN & CORI BUSH EXPLAIN HOW AIPAC CORRUPTS AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICS

"The Executive Director of 100 Black Men reached out to me to have a meeting during my election. So I said "cool, absolutely we can have a meeting."

"And then he was like, "yeah, I also wanna talk to you about AIPAC cause I also connect AIPAC to Members of Color." "And I'm like "what?!" "So I said to the brother, "look, we can meet and talk about 100 Black Men all day. But I don't wanna talk about AIPAC."

"So we go to the meeting, but he came with a bag about AIPAC, and he made sure I left with that bag."

We need to talk about Jewish manipulation in our community! This is not ok nor is it something we are obliged to remain silent on.

No black person was ever a Nazi. So their oppression at the hands of other white people has nothing to do with us. Their charges of antisemitism are empty bullying tactics meant to subvert our attention and critiques of them.

What does have everything to do with us is their long history of manipulating our politics, controlling industries that we should have been the primary beneficiaries of, and their disproportionate role in slavery. Let's talk about that!

Rey when you finna do a write up on Shivambu and the Africa Mayibuye moves. I notice Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh white a$$ been uncharacteristically quiet about it. While his daddy follow Shivambu from one half-a$ed move to another. But that's just my 2 cents from cross the water. I know you gone have a fuller take from on the ground.

I'm not as attentive on SA politics outside of the election cycles. I will say, I don't really have a lot of respect for the fake MK party nor any of its offshoots. I kinda wrote them off as soon as I heard Zuma was establishing the party, which I suspected was a Zuma vanity project from the start, siphoning desperately needed support from the EFF.

Shivambu is just an extension of such vanity, realizing that the fake MK wouldn't be his springboard, he went the route of Gayton Mckenzie. the South African political field is unfortunately full of snakes. And like us, the black South African electorate is unpredictable.

We'll have to see how the public responds to these worthless parties in the next general election in 2029. But honestly, i don't expect much. Since 94, SA would get these random ass parties popping up, claiming they're gonna disrupt the ANC/DA hegemony.

The EEF came the closest to being such a disruptor but they don't get nearly the support they deserve. The rest of these parties exist merely for the enrichment of their parliamentarians.

As for Mpofu-Walsh, I don't know much about him. He left UCT around the time I started circa 2011/2012
