The Amanda Seales Show Urban One Podcast Network

In this episode, we dive into a series of captivating stories starting with our "Big Up" segment, where we applaud Garcia for her resilience in not fumbling the bag despite the chaos at Fort Lauderdale International Airport when her Spirit Airlines flight was canceled. On the flip side, our "Let Down" segment highlights the misguided attempt of Sam Forster to explore racial issues in his book, "Seven Shoulders: Taxonomizing Racism in Modern America," by donning blackface, a deeply offensive and misinformed approach. We'll also cover the landmark conviction of three Valencia soccer fans sentenced to 8 months in prison for racially abusing Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. during a May 2023 La Liga game.

We'll shift gears to "Black Around the World," our segment dedicated to broadening our experiences and perspectives within the Black diaspora. Additionally, we’ll discuss Hunter Biden's recent guilty verdict on charges related to a 2018 handgun purchase, and Rick Ross’s ambitious plan to open a zoo on his Atlanta property. Stick around for some practical advice in our "Am I Trippin" segment, and test your knowledge with a Black pop quiz. Join us for an episode filled with news, insights, and a celebration of Black culture.

In this episode, we delve into the highs and lows of the week with our segment "Big Up" and "Let Down." First, the "Big Up" goes to Keith Lee, the famous food critic who had an unforgettable visit to New Orleans. His car was swarmed by enthusiastic fans, causing a traffic-stopping frenzy. On the flip side, our "Let Down" targets those who presume to speak for everyone. Stephen A. Smith is in the spotlight for giving unsolicited advice to Will Smith, suggesting that Will must address the Black community about the infamous Chris Rock Oscar slap before expecting support for his new movie, "Bad Boys 4."

We open the lines for you to share your thoughts and frustrations about anything voting-related, from deciding who deserves your vote to being vexed by local laws. In other news, a middle school in Vernon, Connecticut, has settled a lawsuit for $100,000 after a teacher played Kendrick Lamar's song "Alright" in an eighth-grade class.
