Thank you for this. I hope you are invited to repeat it on news stations far and wide. I just wanted to add that the Indian expulsion from Uganda and longing for return was a central theme of his mom's film Mississippi Masala.
Really you knocked this out of the park. Bravo. The rejection of ethnonationalism is of course related to being socialist. As with Slovo so with Mamdani. And of course socialism is what these forces truly fear and hate.
Thank you Peter for researching and making this thread possible. Zohran Mamdani is being attacked, shamefully by those who call themselves open-minded and INCLUSIVE. It would be very helpful to Zohran and many millions of us who are from different backgrounds to hear this brilliantly clear truth. I truly hope you reach out, if you haven’t, to Zohran, this will help him.
Ethnonationalism is a very important word, which will help all of us. Your writing and speaking about this subject matters greatly.
The depth of knowledge you consistently share is deeply appreciated, especially in these dark times, when far too many remain silent, or worse, spread misinformation and hate-filled rhetoric.
Those of us on the "other side," for lack of a better term, are truly grateful for your wisdom. It serves as a vital reference point whenever we are confronted with ignorance or distortion(s).
It's been incredibly informative and grounding to follow your work and participate in your weekly Zoom calls over the past few years. Thank you for your steadfast clarity and courage.
Thank you for that. It’s the same story as for Americans (USA). We come from every where but are inculcated with the idea and feeling of being first and foremost American.
DeSanctimonious Beating Democrats to the Metallic Line
The framers of the US Constitution understood money, credit, currency, and their differences they know that money is gold and that paper currency even when redeemable into gold introduces counterparty risk and that deposits in banks are the most dangerous currency of all They wrote into the Constitution basic monetary principles that served the people well until FDR in 1933 began the downward slide to fiat currency
The Numeraire Clause of the Constitution gave the power of the coin to the Federal government Note that this was not to print money This has become Article One Section 8 Monetarily we as a country have lost our metallic moorings and going off the gold standard in 1971
And the Republicans have talked about a return to a gold standard for some time Now DeSanctimonious in Florida(https://bit.ly/44MyMU2) has decided to take another step toward a metallic standard by making gold and silver legal tender in the state This is a step toward sound money with the dollar’s purchasing power dropping 88% of what is was in 1971
Democrats need to join them This is one thing we can agree on (in part from Money and Liberty Chapter 9 James Turk)
Enlightening and inspiring. As always.

Incredible! Peter this history you have posted here is so inspiring! And it aligns with your recent book where I
discovered that you were born in Africa. Thank you for bringing Mamdani’s background into a well
Needed sharper focus.

the u.s. noise machine is deadening. thanks to peter and others who are helping us see through distorted ways of thinking.
Thanks, Peter, you put it together so well. I learnt so much from your short monologue.

Thank you for your empathy and kindness. 🙏🏼🌸
This is very interesting. Afrocentrists, at least some, who tend to be conservative do see African as a racial category.
