The Real reason we got banned

More reactions are coming in over the US government's assault against African Stream and the subsequent bans of our channel on several social-media platforms, including YouTube and Instagram.

In this clip, content creator @pokepreet1 explains how the attack on African Stream was motivated by the US government's desire to control the media narrative by branding any outlet that doesn’t toe Washington's line 'Russian propaganda.'

He also touches on how the mainstream US media fails to report issues and events from an African perspective. Perhaps this is the reason why most Black people in the US do not trust the country's media. A June 2024 survey by the Pew Research Center found that less than ten per cent of Black people in the US believe that news outlets provide the 'full story' when covering the African community.
