Every day is racism for black people. Most people are not open-minded to understand racism, nor are most people open to believing in racism. Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts serves two purposes. One, education in discrimination. Two, a platform to talk about racism. Dive in with me to learn the history and the hypocrisy of those who don't believe racism exists. We will look at current events involved with racism as well. Let's have an uncomfortable conversation.

    Critical Thinking on the Decline

    Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts

    07-08-2023



    Critical Thinking is on the decline. It is mostly in the fall based on everyday decision-making. But it is also on the decline for social issues and discrimination. The use of Critical Thinking is not used when needing to talk about social injustice, racism, bigotry, and decision-making. Join me for the season finale as I share some tips on bringing Critical Thinking on the rise again.

    Different Types of Discrimination

    Different Types of Discrimination

    Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts



    Real work is necessary for change to happen. Faith without work is dead; you have to put the work in. Physical, moral, and educational. All three of these things must occur for change to be made. You must be educated to understand what is happening and how to combat it. There are two cases I will talk about and what does it mean for discrimination. Join me!

    The Hate of the LGBTQ Community

    The Hate of the LGBTQ Community

    Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts

    06-10-2023



    Pastors call on "executions" against the LGBTQ community. It ranges from not being welcomed in the church to killing them. Is the Christian church sending out a message of Jesus? Or are they sending out the message of Jesus of their own? Let's dig and find out.

    The LGBTQ Community

    The LGBTQ Community

    Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts

    05-27-2023



    I want to give my love to the LGBTQ community with this podcast. There is a difference between conservative Christians and Pastors, and people who are spiritual who loves everyone regardless of who they are no judgment. Let's talk about it.

    As of April 3, 417 anti-LGTBQ bills were introduced this year. That's up from 2022, where 180 bills were introduced, 154 were introduced in 2021, only 77 were introduced in 2020, 51 in 2019, and 42 in 2018. Why is it so high now? Join me as I give possible reasons why these numbers are up from 5 years ago.
