    [BONUS] Isaiah Mack for Mayor

    Blacktivities returns in February!!! Check out the third episode of Shannon's newest podcast, RIGHTing Narratives in this bonus episode. Isaiah Mack is an NFL defensive tackle and former standout at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. During his college career, Mack earned All-American honors and was named the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2018. Known for his resilience and disruptive play on the defensive line, he recorded 20 career sacks and was a dominant force in his final season. After becoming an undrafted free agent in 2019, Mack signed with the Tennessee Titans and has since played for several NFL teams, most recently the Miami Dolphins. Being that Isaiah and Shannon are from the same hometown, they met up there for this conversation. Isaiah's narrative is one of hard work, appreciation of peaceful moments with family, and looking forward to settling into a normal life after the NFL. He gives his mom credit for where he is today.

    Black Excellence Defined

    We use the term and the hashtag black excellence all the time, but what is it exactly? And... is it a term we like, or does it give black people an inferiority complex?

    Comparing and Contrasting the Crack Epidemic to the Opioid Crisis

    The Crack Epidemic had a long-lasting effect on the black community, as a majority of crack users were black. The War on Drugs imposed minimum prison sentences that led to a dramatic increase in incarceration rates for black males. While the Crack Epidemic was criminalized, the Opioid Crisis, which predominately affects the white community, has been treated as a health crisis. Shannon shares some BIG Facts about the causes and effects of each drug crisis, and the hosts give their thoughts on the government's response to both. Would it even matter if the government tried to rectify the damage from the Crack Epidemic?

    Is Everything Really About Race?

    Have you ever been asked the question, "Why does it always have to be about race?" Amanda Seals came under fire a few months ago after an interview with Shannon Sharpe where he questioned if her stories all had to do with race, or could there be another factor. Is race involved in everything, or are we just being hypersensitive? Shannon and KK reveal their thoughts on this question and more.

    We've seen a lot of our black male celebrities get "canceled" lately - from Diddy to Jonathan Majors to Chris Brown. Not that some of them don't deserve it, but why does it seem like black men have become the face of cancel culture when there are other people doing the same things? Shannon, Lisa, and Karen discuss canceling's humble beginnings to how it got chopped and screwed and it's intertwining with the me too movement.
