See What Barack Obama Thinks About African-Americans


Last week, as a part of a series of conversations, President Barack Obama spoke to author Ta-Nehisi Coates about a variety of topics, with one of them being reparations for African-Americans. Many African-Americans have voiced their opinion about the idea of reparations being given to their people, especially considering the lasting impact of the Jim Crow era and slavery on the community. During the interview, Barack Obama mentioned that he felt African-Americans deserved reparations, but that he did not think it would be politically achievable. Obama said that wrongs done to the black community should be acknowledged, and that "society has a moral obligation to make a large, aggressive investment, even if it’s not in the form of individual reparations checks, but in the form of a Marshall Plan, in order to close those gaps [of wealth and education]."

Obama kept it real about getting support from Congress for reparations, saying, "I’m not so optimistic as to think that you would ever be able to garner a majority of an American Congress that would make those kinds of investments above and beyond the kinds of investments that could be made in a progressive program for lifting up all people." He then went on to put his entire idea into a clear perspective, saying, "I have much more confidence in my ability, or any president or any leader’s ability, to mobilize the American people around a multiyear, multibillion-dollar investment to help every child in poverty in this country than I am in being able to mobilize the country around providing a benefit specific to African Americans as a consequence of slavery and Jim Crow."

Wizkid Fires At Organizers Of African Awards

Most international awards have categories for African acts but the trend for most of these awards is to give the African awards backstage, away from the main show. Wizkid is not having any of that however as he stressed in a recent press conference.

The singer stressed that if the organizers don’t show the same love they show his international counterparts, they can as well keep their love. He also explained that it is part of the reason why he does not attend most award shows.

African-American Music Appreciation Month

In a recent proclamation, President Obama declared the month of June 2016 “African-American Music Appreciation Month.” We figured we’d celebrate the only way we know how: by sharing some of the best music ever recorded with the greatest fans music has ever had! In the words of the President himself, "African-American music helps us imagine a better world, and it offers hope that we will get there together.” Music to our ears.

Is Trump A Dictator?

Magic Johnson gave his two cents on Donald Trump's controversial travel ban, on Sunday night [Jan. 29], saying that it is "not who we are as Americans." He also directed some sharp words at the President, with a warning that he remember he is legislating over democracy.

"It’s just not a good time. He’s gotta learn you can’t just be a dictator. We’ve never had a president like that. We’ve always had a president who brought the country together and brought all people together. That’s what we need today, right now, and we’re not getting that," Johnson told a TMZ reporter while exiting the W Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Trump Administration has moved quickly to deliver on the promises he made to his base over the course of his campaign. The executive order, which denies all refugees entry into the U.S. for a four month period, blocks citizens from seven Middle Eastern and African countries for the next 90-days and instills a ban on refugees from Syria indefinitely, which comes days after he signed an order to begin construction on a Mexican border wall. Johnson touched on each of those decisions, while also raising the plight of African-Americans and women.

Name A Rock Band That Inspired You The Most


I know it may be hard to limit your answer to one rock & roll musician, but the Wrap-Up Magazine want to know which rock band have inspired you the most throughout the years?

Certain trends emerge as you explore how rock's 100 biggest bands got their names. From AC/DC to ZZ Top, many rock bands have made it to the top of the charts while some didn't. Rock music also drew strongly from a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical styles.

Rock music's long, storied past has made it a versatile style of music beloved by many. It has elicited calls of action for peace, been blamed for violence, and, most of all, entertained the people of the world since its inception.

Why Prejudice Still Lives

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) I am a African American who was born in Mississippi. I have encountered various types of racism. One thing I have learned is that it's all in how you were raised. I get criticized because I am married to a white woman and have mixed children.

I have come to find out that there are more blacks prejudice than whites. For some reason, blacks believe that whites owe them something for bringing them here! But I say Thank You! Without the white man bringing our ancestors to America, I would not be able to own my own house website, or business.

When people talk about cops killing blacks, I turn the other cheek. Due to the fact that I feel cops are afraid of blacks just as blacks are afraid of cops. We are almost in a civil war, not because of whats going on, but how the media portrays it. Why is it than when a black person get shot by a cop it's blasted all over the media? But when the same thing happens to a white person, you hear nothing.

I'm not taking any sides, just giving my 2 cents on the matter.

We Must Change In Order To Evolve


It's time that us as black people change our ways of living. Change implies making either an essential difference often amounting to a loss of original identity or a substitution of one thing for another. Change bring the cause to be different.

The process of causing a function, practice, or thing to become different somehow compared to what it is at present or what it was in the past. Companies can undergo changes in a specific division, such as a marketing division, or as a whole.

When most African Americans open their own business, they like to attract the wrong crowd many times thinking that that's the way out. What's wrong with taking a new route and attracting all crowds to help boost more sales. You need to be able to make quick changes to your plan any time that the situation dictates you need them.

We were going through many changes and they were all for the better and would help us grow as people in the future. Develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form. The definition of evolve is to develop gradually or set free. An example of evolve is bettering your yoga skills by doing more yoga.

White Actor Will Play Martin Luther King Jr

The casting of a white actor as Martin Luther King in an Ohio university production of Katori Hall’s acclaimed play The Mountaintop was “a disservice to not just Dr King but an entire community”, the playwright has said.

“I didn’t want this to be a stunt, but a true exploration of King’s wish that we all be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin,” Oatman said. “I wanted the contrast … I wanted to see how the words rang differently or indeed the same, coming from two different actors, with two different racial backgrounds.”

Oatman did not respond to a request for comment, but Hall said she had a respectful phone call with the director about a month after he staged the play at the university’s Department of Pan-African Studies’ African Community Theatre from late September to early October.

“I feel as though a lot of theatermakers were a bit appalled at the choice that the director made – and that it was supported so wholeheartedly by the institution,” Hall said. “So it was really a moment to talk about playwright intention, but to then, beyond that, talk about much bigger issues, about not only being a black artist but also being a black person in America.”
