Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford. Coming up: The US Census Bureau caused a big stir when it predicted that Anglo Whites would become a minority of the US population by either the year 2042 or 2045. But, what impact will the huge Latino immigrant influx have on racial attitudes deep into the 21 st century? We’ll explore that question. And, the South American nation of Colombia is gripped by protest, as the US backed government attempts to impose a harsh austerity regime. We’ll hear from a Black Colombian activist. But first – the Covid-19 pandemic has worked vast changes in US life, but some things remain the same -- such as the fact that women still do most of the housework, and immigrants assume much of the burden of cleaning up the country. We spoke with Nicole FROI-Oh, a Colombian-Brazilian journalist and researcher who authored an article titled, “The Pandemic Housework Dilemma Whitewashed.”
That was journalist and researcher Nicole FROI-Oh.
Census Bureau data seem to show that white majorities will become a thing of the past in the United States before the mid-point of the 21 st century, largely because of continued immigration. However, what happens to that calculation if many of those immigrants from Latin America insist on claiming to be white? Could that prolong the existence of white majorities in this country? We posed that question to Professor Shantee Rosado, of the Africana Studies and Latino and Caribbean Studies departments at Rutgers University. Professor Rosado’s current book project is titled, “Latinxs and the Emotional Politics of Race and Blackness in the U.S.”
That was Dr. Shantee Rosado, speaking from Rutgers University.
The South American nation of Colombia, where millions of Black people have been driven from their homes in recent decades, is in the midst of a general strike against the US backed regime. President Ivan DOO-Kay’s police and military have killed scores of protesters. We spoke with Sharo Mina-Rojas, a leader of the Black Communities Process organization in Colombia, which is manning blockades of the roads near the largely Black city of Cali.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
