"A Warning for '24"

As we are one year out from Election Day, the race between Biden and Trump is a tossup. In order to win Democrats can't rely on the old "vote blue no matter what" message. Black and young voters are becoming increasingly apathetic and this administration has to turn things around.

"Losing Your Humanity: Palestine, Israel, and the Struggle For Human Rights"

After last week's tragic attacks by Hamas against Israel, we've seen many people wrongly blame Palestinians as a whole for Hamas's sins. We'll discuss Israel's response and how it's turned into a humanitarian crisis for those trapped in Gaza. I'll also try my best to explain the Israel/Palestinian conflict which has included wars, treaties, assassinations, and apartheid.

"2024"

In this episode, we talk where the election stands today and how it will be a toss-up next year. A lot will depend on if Democrats can consolidate their base and that means reaching out to Black people, in particular Black men. They will have to fight against apathy among many. This is a warning to everyone who believes this election is going to be easy.

"Brenda's Got a Baby"

It's well known that our nation doesn't protect Black women and girls. In this episode we will cover sexual violence and abortion access, two issues us men don't talk about enough. We'll discuss the tragic story of a young Black girl who has recently been forced to give birth after being raped.

"January 6th and the Story of the Wilmington Massacre"

With Donald Trump being indicted for trying to stage a coup, I talk about historical examples of political violence...including foreign coups staged by the US government. We also dive into the story of the only successful coup on American soil: the Wilmington Massacre, where hundreds of Black people were slaughtered.

"From Slavery to Today: Unveiling the True Story of the Electoral College"

In this episode I talk about the racist origins of the Electoral College and how today it doesn't represent the true will of the people. Unfortunately we'll talk about how it will be nearly impossible to remove it.

"Are You Still Down? Three Years Later and Black Lives Still Don't Matter"

I take a look back at the summer protests of 2020 and how much (or little) has been done for Black people since then. A lack of progress from this administration on policing, voting rights, and other rights has left many feeling left behind.
