Welcome to iZania, a Black business community created to facilitate the growth of Black-owned businesses and to be an advocate for social issues in the Black community.
The Anderson Family's year-long journey through The Empowerment Experiment is at its half-way point. See that living off of Black business is not that much of sacrifice and has nothing to do with exclusion... it is about love, pride and enlightenment. In the Andersons' EE journey, they've supported dozens of quality Black businesses, professionals, and Black-made products that they would not have even known existed had it not been for their pledge. They have lost nothing in terms of quality or in higher prices. They've gained much in terms or knowledge and power. They live a powerful life! They spend their money in places and in ways that can contribute to their community's improvement. They have brought the issues facing Black business and the economic crises caused by the lack of Black-owned businesses in Black communities back into the national dialogue. This is their journey. This is OUR movement. [More] [Less]
American Drug War - The Last White Hope a film by Kevin Booth John O'Neill Project Part 15: The Mother of All Conspiracies - The Global Drug Trade In this project, I will post supporting documentation for all of the points made in the movie, Who Killed John O'Neill. Below is a list of all of the clips from that movie with all of the parts from Part 15: The Mother of All Conspiracies - The Global Drug Trade. For Part 15, I used the 2007 Documentary by Kevin Booth, American Drug War - The Last White Hope. One can conclude from this documentary that the quagmire known as the War on Drugs has only created more problems than solutions, more addiction than recovery, and more drugs and gangs in society. I am so outraged about the drug war, that I am willing to devote my entire life to fighting it. So if there is someone out there that needs a soldier in the war against the war on drugs, contact me. A note about the titles in this series: I tried to maintain a system of naming clips according to their individual points made. If I failed to do so, it is only because the inconclussive nature of taking a clip out of the context of the entire film, and I appologize. 01 who was john o'neil 02 CIA Created Islamic Fundamentalism 03 Al Qaeda was an Intelligence Ops from the Start 04 ISI + CIA = The Death of Daniel Pearl 05 In a Post 911 World - You Cannot Trust Anybody 06 Wasting your Life with these Conspiracy Theories 07 Further Investigation into 911 is Required 08 Controlled Demolition Inc & Building 7 Insider Trading Offices 09 911 was Allowed to Happen 10 Terrorism in the USA: A Brief History 11 What is a PsyOp? 12 Kroll is CIA - Privatized Intelligence 13 Marvin Bush, Securacom, and Kroll Ops 14 Terrorism Pundi ts May Very Well be the Terrorists Themselves 15 The Mother of All Conspiracies - The Global Drug Trade pt1 16 The Mother of All Conspiracies - The Global Drug Trade pt2 01 Intro American Drug War - The Last White Hope 02 Brief Overview of Nixon's Drug War 03 Legal Drugs vs. Illegal Drugs 1 of 4 04 Nixon's Drug Schedule - Mariuana Same as Heroin 05 Prohibition Creates Gangs 06 Crack Marketing, Racism, and Freeway Ricky Ross 07 Chasing the Rock - The Money and the "Bell Ringer" 08 Meth - Epidemic Result of Prohibition 09 Sheriff Joe Arpaio - The Fascist Face of the Drug War 10 Meth - Moonshine of the War on Drugs 11 Legalize All Drugs or Live in a Police State 12 Privatized Prisons and Prison Labor IS Slavery 13 Tommy Chong 'Prison Labor is Slavery' 14 Tulia TX's Racist Drug Raid for Drug War Dollars 15 Sherm...Meth...Pot - Gov Says they're all the Same 16 Drug Money Funds Terror, What about Oil 17 Iran Contra - Proof Positive of where the Coke comes From 18 Freeway Ricky Ross - A Pawn in the CIA's Drug Game 19 Ethnic Cleansing in the Greater Los Angeles Area 20 Conspiracy Theories?

The Andersons' Experiment is grounded in John and Maggie Anderson's public pledge to try to exclusively support Black businesses and professionals and buy Black-made products for all of 2009. They do this to inspire a national dialogue about the plight and the potential of Black business. The Andersons do this to highlight the many markets and industries where Blacks have not been able to access and manifest their pursuit of The American Dream while showcasing all the wonderful unsung success stories that Blacks can hold onto as proof that Black businesses are not inferior. The Andersons' Experiment aims to change the status quo. Black people have been in America for 400 years, so why is it so insane to conceive of buying fresh vegetables from a grocery chain started by a Black family? Why is it so inconceivable to buy a refrigerator from a Black-owned department store? Why do Black manufacturers and distributors have to overcome so many hurdles to get a chance at contracts with or supply large American companies? Why can I only find Black-made haircare products in major grocers, drugstores, mass merchandisers - and no cereal, or toilet paper, or picture frames? 400 years. When will these horrific realities change? The Andersons themselves are an American success story. They believe in and love their country. Their journey is about service, love, and pride. They love America and they love our Black community. The Andersons believe that when the Black community simply begins to tap into its potential in the business world, and Black people start cherishing their own talent, success, and resources, then Black people can tangibly be included in the American Dream. And America will be better for it. Through self-help economics, they can leverage the economic empowerment required to begin to tackle the urban crises plaguing underserved Black communities. If we do nothing... If we do not come together... nothing will change.Much thanks to Chicago Urban League's Next TV and Fox 32 Chicago, for capturing The Andersons' Experiment. In this segment, you'll see the Andersons activate their pledge to buy Black and see how the Experiment has impacted their lives. [More] [Less]
Kamal Imani AKA Kamal Supreme warns us through the art of spoken word poetry that we must remain alert and vigilant to the prison planet type of lock down and violation of our rights in America and the world or else we may end up in a severe situation and condition. He shows how getting caught up in spook religions may cause us to think we have arrived when we may be headed into concentration camps and gas chambers.
