R.I.P. Assata Chakur

Assata Shakur died in Havana, Cuba, on September 25, 2025, at the age of 78. The cause of death was cited as “health conditions and advanced age” by Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her passing brings a close to a decades-long saga that began with a high-profile murder conviction and ended with a long life in political asylum, during which she became an enduring symbol of resistance and resilience against systemic injustice.

Shakur, born Joanne Chesimard, was a prominent member of the Black Liberation Army, a radical group that sought to fight against systemic racism and promote civil rights for African Americans. In 1977, after a highly publicized trial, she was convicted of the 1973 murder of a New Jersey State Trooper during a tense and violent traffic stop, a case that garnered national attention due to its implications regarding police brutality and racial injustice. In a dramatic turn of events, she escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1979 with the help of fellow activists and quickly sought refuge outside the United States. By 1984, Shakur had successfully obtained political asylum in Cuba, where she was welcomed as a symbol of resistance against U.S. imperialism and was able to continue her activism in a supportive environment. For decades, the U.S. government engaged in extensive efforts to locate and extradite her from Cuba, yet these attempts proved fruitless, illustrating the complexities of international law and diplomatic relations. In 2013, to reignite the pursuit of justice, the FBI added her to its Most Wanted Terrorists list, marking the first time a woman was included on that list, elevating her status as both a fugitive and a controversial figure in the ongoing discussions surrounding race, justice, and activism in America.

Throughout her life, Shakur advocated for social change and equality, capturing the attention of activists and scholars around the world. Her contributions to discussions about race, class, and gender continue to resonate, making her a significant figure in both American history and contemporary social movements. In a time marked by turmoil and transformation, she stood at the forefront, challenging societal norms and articulating the struggles faced by marginalized communities. Her fierce commitment to justice, demonstrated through her writings, speeches, and actions, has paved the way for meaningful dialogue and awareness around issues of inequality. Her legacy will likely inspire future generations to confront the challenges of oppression and fight for justice in pursuit of a more equitable society.

Today, as we reflect on her impact, we honor her legacy, recognizing the profound influence she has had on the fight for civil rights and social justice, and the path she has carved for those who continue to advocate for change. Her relentless pursuit of equality and her unwavering commitment to justice have inspired countless individuals to stand up against oppression and challenge societal norms.

CORRUPT POLICE FILES (9/24/25)

Greetings! The majority of police officers are dedicated to protecting their communities and building trust through outreach programs like community events and educational workshops that foster engagement and understanding between law enforcement and the public. These proactive initiatives not only educate citizens about safety and crime prevention but also create opportunities for dialogue that can help bridge the gap between diverse communities. Unfortunately, a small number of officers abuse their power, which damages their reputations and undermines public trust in law enforcement, leading to skepticism and fear among the very people they are sworn to protect. This reality emphasizes the need for ongoing ethical training and stricter oversight to ensure accountability, as well as the importance of transparent policies that govern police conduct. Amid these challenges, it’s essential to recognize the dedication of many officers who serve their communities with integrity and selflessness, as their work is vital in restoring faith in the justice system and demonstrating the positive impact that law enforcement can have when it operates with compassion and respect for all citizens.

In today’s installment…

The FBI investigates police corruption linked to drug trafficking in New Orleans, employing a key informant and an undercover agent who infiltrates local gangs. This intricate operation not only highlights the pervasive issues of corruption within law enforcement but also sheds light on the broader impact of drug trafficking on the community. As part of its efforts, the FBI collaborates with local authorities and community leaders to build a comprehensive understanding of the crime landscape.

The FBI Files is a captivating docudrama that delves into the inner workings of the FBI’s crime laboratory through detailed reenactments and interviews with agents and experts. The series offers a gripping look at real cases that have shaped law enforcement, but it comes with a warning for viewers due to its sensitive content, which may be disturbing to some and serves as a reminder of the stark realities faced by those fighting crime.

ICE, ICE, BABY Part 2

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

On March 1st of this year, I made a post called ICE ICE BABY, Where I talk about the Ice raids, and what we as law abiding citizens can do about them.

Wel, y feelings are unchanged about this subject. I’ve included this cool video below which describes my feelings.

However, in case you didn’t want to watch the video…

I stand in solidarity with immigrants, acknowledging the injustice and human rights violations they face, as families are separated and communities suffer from fear and uncertainty. Every day, countless individuals leave their homes in search of safety and a better life, often facing unimaginable challenges along the way. Immigrants enrich our society, contributing their talents, cultures, and perspectives, which ultimately strengthens our communities. It is essential to recognize the immense sacrifices they make for the hope of a brighter future for themselves and their children. Everyone deserves safety and respect in their homes, regardless of their background. I oppose mass deportation, as it contradicts our values of compassion and human dignity; instead, we should advocate for humane policies that support integration and understanding. Border walls and harsh immigration laws only serve to deepen divides and perpetuate cycles of fear. Together, we can build a more inclusive society that embraces diversity and fosters a sense of belonging for all.

Well I just had to get that off my chest. have a good day Y’all.

PROFESSOR BLACK TRUTH’S SUNDAY ADDRESS (7/20/25)

Earlier this year, the African Union declared that “reparations” would be the “theme” for this year, highlighting the long-standing conversation surrounding the impact of colonialism and slavery on the African continent and its people. However, they have also declared that they will speak for the “diaspora” (read: American Blacks) on this issue, claiming to represent the interests and voices of those who have been affected by these historical injustices.

This stance raises important questions about the authenticity of their representation and the potential implications for funding, as they intend to take the money too! It is crucial to consider whether this approach truly reflects the desires and needs of the diaspora or if it serves more as a political maneuver to gain access to financial resources that could be better utilized in direct support of communities in need. Furthermore, one must examine the broader context in which these representations are made, probing deeper into the motivations of those involved and the potential conflicts of interest that may arise.

Are these representatives genuinely engaging with the community voices they claim to prioritize, or are they more focused on their own agendas? This complexity highlights a vital need for transparency and accountability in the processes that govern funding distributions, ensuring that the voices of marginalized groups within the diaspora are not only heard but actively shape the policies that affect their lives and futures. Only then can we ascertain whether the funds will truly contribute to meaningful development or if they risk being squandered on superficial projects that fail to address the root issues facing these communities.

Today, we follow Aidan Hoffman, who pleaded guilty to possessing child porn, a crime that has shocked the community and raised serious moral questions. But the judge, over the prosecutors’ objections, decided to give this reprobate probation and no fine, a decision that many are calling unjust and indicative of a legal system that sometimes seems to favor offenders over victims.

The public found out about this lenient sentence, and now there’s hell to pay as outrage spreads among communities and social media platforms alike. This case has ignited a larger conversation about the treatment of sexual offenses in our legal system, the role of public opinion, and the balance between justice and rehabilitation. As individuals voice their concerns, questions arise regarding the effectiveness of current laws and the potential need for reform.

Advocates are pushing for stricter penalties and more impactful support systems for survivors, emphasizing that leniency in cases like these can undermine the severity of the crime and the experiences of those affected. It has become clear that society is demanding a deeper examination of how such cases are handled, with a focus on ensuring that justice is appropriately served while also considering the possibilities of genuine rehabilitation. The implications of this case extend far beyond its immediate effects, signaling a critical moment for change and reflection in our legal approach to sexual offenses.

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FRIDAY CRIME REPORT (6/20/25)

Every Friday morning, PROFESSOR BLACK TRUTH hosts “The Friday Crime Report,” focusing on systemic racism, economic inequality, and police brutality in the black community. The program aims to raise awareness, encourage dialogue, and equip individuals for advocacy, while calling for policy changes and promoting community engagement for social justice and equality.

This week a Fairmont West Virginia cop was charged with sexually assaulting his own child. But disgusting as this is, the white media’s downplaying the fact that he could have been stopped years ago before he even did it! There are numerous systemic issues at play here, including the lack of accountability for law enforcement officers and the failure of institutions to recognize and address warning signs of abusive behavior.

Despite past complaints and reports, he was allowed to continue his duties, raising serious questions about oversight and the protection of vulnerable individuals. This troubling decision not only undermines the credibility of the institutions responsible for safeguarding the community but also instills fear among those who rely on these systems for their safety.

It is crucial for the media to take a stand and highlight these failures rather than dismissing them, as doing so perpetuates a cycle of violence and impunity that must be broken for the safety of all. By shining a light on these issues, journalists can expose the negligence that allows such individuals to operate unchecked, ultimately fostering a culture of accountability and ensuring that those who are vulnerable are given the protection they rightfully deserve.

In South Africa, a court acquitted Du Toit, a Boer Boy, for urinating on black student Babalo Ndwayana’s belongings, an act that led to significant protests against racism at the university, highlighting the ongoing racial tensions that have persisted since the end of apartheid. The incident not only reignited conversations around systemic racism within academic institutions but also galvanized student activism, prompting demonstrations that called for accountability and institutional reforms. Du Toit was expelled from the university and faced charges of Crimen injuria and malicious damage to property, yet the court’s decision sparked outrage among students and community members alike, who felt that justice had not been served and that such behavior should not be tolerated in a society striving for equality and inclusivity.

On May 2025, Theuns Du Toit was acquitted of charges related to a viral clip of him urinating on Babalo Ndwayana’s belongings, causing dismay among many and sparking discussions on race relations and the judicial system’s approach to racially motivated crimes. This outcome left Babalo and his supporters feeling betrayed and underscored the ongoing fight against systemic racism in South Africa. The incident has ignited fervent debate not only about individual accountability but also about the broader implications of such actions within the historical context of racial tensions in the country.

Activists argued that the verdict highlighted a troubling trend whereby racially charged acts are not met with the severity they deserve, thus perpetuating a cycle of injustice. Many community leaders have called for reforms in the legal system to ensure that cases involving racial discrimination are treated with the seriousness they warrant, emphasizing the necessity for societal change to combat the deep-rooted prejudices that continue to affect marginalized communities.

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FRIDAY CRIME REPORT (6/3/25)

Every Friday morning, PROFESSOR BLACK TRUTH hosts “The Friday Crime Report,” which addresses critical issues like systemic racism, economic inequality, and police brutality within the black community. The program raises awareness, promotes dialogue, and empowers individuals with knowledge and tools for advocacy. Through engaging narratives, it calls for policy changes to improve the lives of marginalized people and fosters community engagement for social justice and equality, ultimately aiming to inspire action toward a more equitable society.

This week, a manhunt for a triple murderer is ongoing, captivating the attention of the entire nation. The accused killer is Travis Decker, who is alleged to have brutally killed his own three daughters in a crime that has left the community in shock and mourning. Many are struggling to comprehend how a parent could commit such an unimaginable act of violence against their own children. But the only thing more sickening than this horrifying act is the white media’s predictable sympathetic coverage of the killer!

Instead of focusing on the profound loss experienced by the victims’ families, the narrative seems to shift towards humanizing Decker, as if to elicit empathy for a man who has shattered the lives of so many. This stark contrast between the perpetrator and the victims raises critical questions about the ethics of media reporting, as well as the biases that often overshadow the voices of the innocent victims. While it is essential to understand the complexities of human behavior, prioritizing the backstory of an individual who has caused such tragedy diverts attention from the grief-stricken families left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.
