Ye continues to cause uproar with statements

If you are wondering what all the uproar about Kanye West or Ye as he prefers to be called, you need only watch Revolt’s hit podcast “Drink Champs” interview with the music legend on YouTube.

In this interview, Ye made various statements that caused quite the bit of controversy among the Jewish and African-American communities. He accused Jewish people of “owning the black voice” among a multitude of other allegations. He stated, “The Jewish community… will take one of us, the brightest of us… they’ll take us and milk us till we die.”

In addition to this, Ye shared his

Breast cancer awareness month movies to watch

Movies have the ability to provide insight in many different situations. In many ways movies provide a form of escape from what is happening in real life or provide educational opportunities to learn about different topics.

They also invoke the ability to feel various emotions without having to experience any of the events that led to the emotions directly.

During the month of October, for obvious reasons, watching movies about breast cancer can do all these things and more.

For instance, “A Fault in our Stars”, an award-winning film released in 2014, heavily covered the love, life, and death of young teens who have been diagnosed with cancer. Instantly the audience is filled with empathy. The two main

Opinion: Exercise your right to vote and let your voice be heard

Each primary voting year, specifically November, is a time when eligible voters take the time to exercise their right to vote.

In my opinion, it is one of the few ways you can feel powerful and voice your opinion without actually speaking.

Many people of color in the South, particularly African-Americans, were not able to vote despite the 15th Amendment which in brief states, “Citizens shall not be denied or abridged the right to vote based on their race, color or previous condition of servitude in the U.S.”, until the 1965 Voting Rights Act was implemented to give African-American voting rights.

You might ask, why is this important information to know now? Well, this was only about 60 years ago and we all know someone in their

and eaten with your hands. Although fufu doesn’t taste like much on its own, the many stews and soups it can be served with are described to be robust, flavorful and filling.

With this in mind, I had high hopes for Sambou’s African Kitchen.

Located on County Line Road, in Ridgeland, Missi., Sambou’s is in an unlikely location and is kind of hidden, but I assure you the restaurant is well worth finding.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by their friendly host and offered a menu to order my carry-out order. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. It had a modern appeal to it all the while still displaying their proud African heritage.

sixties, whether it be our parents, grandparents, family members or others.

As a young adult, we often feel our vote does not matter or make a difference, but in the year of 2016, millennials (ages 20-35), made up 27 percent of all eligible voters.

I know you’re probably thinking that 27 percent is not a lot, but this number was very close to the same amount of Baby Boomers (ages 52-70), who lead the electoral votes consecutively. Besides the facts listed above, we (Millennials) and Post Millennials (ages 18-19), are among the most impacted by the leaders in office.

I’m sure you remember in 2020 after the death of George ...

I’m no stranger to ethnic food. Growing up, my mom exposed me to a lot of different cultures and I’ve always looked at international food with the mindset that “If everyone in this ethnic group raves about this dish, it can’t possibly be that bad.” So when the internet began to flood with videos of people trying fufu, a traditional West African dish made of mashed cassava until it reaches the consistency of a soft dough- I had to try it!

Prior to the dish taking the internet by storm, I was already familiar with it thanks to some of my high school friends who were West African. Despite, being ahead of the trend, I didn’t get the chance to try the dish until recently. The dough is typically served with a variety of stews

Although I had my heart set on trying fufu with one of the several stews they offered, some issues with that arose. The dough is offered with egusi soup or okra-beef soup. Egusi soup is made with crayfish and I have a shellfish allergy. So, I was going to opt for the okra-beef soup. They were kind enough to let me sample the soup along with a little portion of the fufu prior to ordering an entire plate of it and I’m glad they did.

The okra-beef soup was ...

“Black Adam” has the possibility of changing the views of superheroes to the world. When the term superhero is brought up people think of some person with superpowers fighting for peace and justice.

Black Adam, played by Dwayne Johnson, followed the story of TethAdam, a slave whose family was killed by the selfish king of Kahndaq. Blessed with the strength and power of the seven wizards, Teth-Adam becomes Black Adam.

In a vengeful rage kills the king and his palace, freeing Kahndaq. However, the seven wizards disapproved of this action and punished him for his crime. Black

Adam killed six wizards but was sealed away by the last one that survived.

Thousands of years later, Black Adam was released by rebels of the new oppressors of Kahndaq, Intergang. With the help of others, he destroys Intergang and becomes the new leader and protector of his people. The film’s plot did an impressive job displaying the evolution of the Black Adam’s character. At the beginning, he is shown to be a cold hearted, grieving, lone wolf who was clearly out of touch with the...

Aria’s Appetite Review: White Chicken Chili recipe Opinion: Smaller elections matter just as much as presidential elections

enough people around my age group understand the importance of voting in midterm elections. I think we put off smaller elections like the midterms and only focus on the presidential election.

In a previous issue of The Flash there were several students that were unaware of the elections and the particular policies we were voting for.

So, I admit I did not have a lot of faith for my fellow peers on election day.

It was a joy to see so many students on campus ready to vote. I registered to vote on Jackson State’s campus a few years ago in 2017 when I came in as a freshman but this is my first time taking part in the Mississippi elections.

Jackson State University students share thankful and heartwarming stories

Elizabeth Duncan Staff Writer

Jackson State University students have been missing home lately. Home is more than just a brick building that you sleep in every night. Home is a place where you make memories with the ones you love and that will stick with for a lifetime.

As we prepare to go on Thanksgiving/fall break, students on campus took the time to share some of their favorite memories, heartwarming stories, and lessons they have had with their family.

Mason Rollins, a freshman political science major from Baltimore, Md., recalls the time that he and his dad took a trip to New York and shared a beautiful father/son bonding moment.

“Okay, so my dad and I are huge “Stranger Things” fans. He was getting ready to move to New York and found out that there was a “Stranger Things” experience, which is an interactive event. The event puts you in the world of “Stranger Things” as if you were a part of the show,” stated Rollins... experience with a march to the polls held on the 2nd Floor of the Student Center. Unfortunately, I was not able to participate in the march but it was cool to see.

Up until now I was sending my absentee ballot back to my hometown Montgomery, Ala. I cannot say that I am particularly shocked by the results of midterm elections on Nov. 8, 2022.

Personally, I do not think

However, they proved me wrong, according to Good Morning America, Generation Z had a large turnout at the polls that could possibly be linked to the abortion ban.

I have been registered to vote since the day I turned 18 years old and prior to that going to the polls every election with my mother is a core memory for me. She would always vote after school so that me and my younger sister could go with her.

The first time she ever took me to the polls I thought she was taking a test ...

Dependency of social media negatively impacts young adults

In less than a generation, it seems social media has evolved creating a dependency for young people in our society.

According to research from Oberlo, people between ages 20 through 29, use social media more than others of different ages. I can attest to that because sometimes I find myself glued to my phone just like my peers. Many of us use social media as an easy way to escape from reality.

Social media is where we tend to catch up on our celebrity gossip, stay in contact with long distance friends or family, and essentially view the lives of people we do not know personally. In further reading on ProCon. org, I noticed the common trend in the list of pros focused on the...
