Perfectly and succinctly captures the hypocrisy, demagoguery, vileness, and brazen pettiness that is America media, highlighting the evolution of what was once regarded as "news". Hear the voice of CNN's Jake Tapper, "President Obama hiding under an umbrella...", often the host of agents and cronies of Donald J Trump, on a supposedly unbiased news service, confirming the #GetOutVibe that I always sensed as I watched town halls, hosted, reported, justified, or explained events by some of those prominent in American media. Someone has to care about the many people of the North American continent... Or not. Such a dismantling.  As their lies, fabrications and biases lull the weak into mindless oblivion, we must answer with a media network dedicated to wakening and strengthening the many people. Those who show themselves as prominent in the debacle should not go unanswered by an equal and opposite force of intent, purpose and commitment towards prevailing in the present, standing guard over the progress sustained and gained during our lifetime.

These are not "news organizations", or "newscasters", or "news" being reported. This is a set, designed and staged to "appear" as a "news organization". These are shameless, high-tech, highly polished, and sharp propaganda and manipulation machines that command the attention and loyalty of 65+ million Americans. And we are behind the curve with response, answers, knowledge, and reason being delivered to the other 65+ million, because this is a too racist of a society have prepped for or confront this digital war for the soul of the nation.

Africans must reach out to one another, in a culturally deliberate way, before the opportunity passes. Just as grandly as they use the media to suppress, we must set out, with all urgency, to use the media to protect and uplift to the greatest extent that our minds can reason --- far outside of the "caucasian box" --- far!

Any 4-year old can be taught to read. Why hasn't our culture addressed this, overcome the obstacles to achieving this? Why aren't single mothers, who have never raised a man, not culturally aware of their "job" in raising a man by herself? Should that concept of specific responsibilities for a favorable outcome, that diginifies all involved, be handed down through our culture? Why aren't we helping one another in the specific ways that we need? We are not weak, born criminals, or dumb ... we are not being educated in the schools, those who have "made it" do not influence our curriculum, or the course of our future --- they have nothing to offer us, those still "enslaved". Poor people really love, and hope for the best for their children as well. People tend to forget however, being born into poverty actually and truly means that you are starving most of the time. It's unfortunate that [we] are branded criminals, as young people who "begin" to come of age, seek their own means. What child knows enough not to ruin their lives at 13? Especially a child who has never been provided, enjoyed, or experienced the basics. Just their luck, whether born genius or fool, never to know hope, opportunity, or possibilities. The Descendants of African slaves live in caste societies. I will be glad if a day arrived when ...for the day when those still not free are not beneath the good fortune of the rest of us.

Anyway... rant over. I'm an American. I am African. As an American I feel distressed. As an African, I feel distressed.

Signaling its humanitarian policy, the administration of the United States expanded its immigration ban to include East African countries: (1) [Sudan], (2) Tanzania, and (3) [Eritrea], as well as (4) Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation located in West Africa. Over a quarter billion African people are affected by the new version of the ban.

The initial ban, of 2017, was put into effect to restrict the spread of "radical Islamic terrorists", but now targets those affected by humanitarian crisis, while attempting to break Africa's strongest economy.

Mass swarms of desert locusts, in the billions, have over taken eastern Africa and southwest Asia --- livelihoods and foods supplies are threatened. Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia have already experienced the destruction of tens of thousands of hectares of farmland. Other countries at risk are [South Sudan], Uganda, and [Eritrea]. Millions of Africans face potential starvation from famine.

The current ebola outbreak, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has been ongoing for over 1-1/2 years, since August 2018. The current outbreak has claimed over 2,000 lives. The 2014 - 2015 outbreak claimed 11,000 lives. In July 2019 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern".

As of October 2019, the virus is considered "significantly contained", even though the outbreak is ongoing, with cross-border population flow into the areas of Rwanda, South Sudan, Burundi and Uganda.

Ebola is a virus that causes problems with how your blood clots. The clotting problems lead to internal bleeding, as blood leaks from small blood vessels in your body. It is spread by animal or insect bites or stings, blood products (including unclean needles), saliva (kissing or shared drinks), or by touching a contaminated surface (blanket or doorknob).
