    121 - White Panthers
    White Nationalism has become the embodiment of what white republicans have come to stand for under this administration. However, Wakanda is what most Americans see as the encouragement of what America should be. Some $700M+ in two weeks, says America believes in the Black Panther more than they do the Trump Panther; and its racist nationalistic views. The future of our country must not be dependent upon the White Panthers of this administration, but it should be upon all of the Panthers of our nation. My guest Rebekah Caruthers and Greg Stewart discuss the shifting landscape of the GOP and the Black Panther.

    120 - “Cries of Anger”
    Guns Kill People! Yes, people kill people too. However, people would not be able to kill anyone without the absolute access that is given to guns in this country. The truth is, a gun needs a person to pull the trigger, and people who want to kill need a gun to do it. Assault weapons like AR-15 and M-16 are military style weapons designed for war, not hunting, unless you’re hunting humans. The question we need to ask ourselves: is access to deadly weapons more important than the safety of our children? My guest Dr. Johnny B. Hill and Det. Marq Claxton join me to answer that question.

    119 - “Classified Dangerous Abuses”
    When you think about the past week and the previous fifty-seven weeks since this Test Tube Baby took office, do you want to rip your robe like David? Are you so fed up, that you can’t stand to hear another thing that’s going on inside this administration? Do you want to throw every American who voted for and those who didn’t vote at all, into a huge room and pimp slap them all? Or maybe you’re like me, and you want to, ala Chris Rock, Shake the Sh__ out of every African American who sat on their asses and didn’t vote? Are you just as pissed, that over 40 staff members in the White House don’t have the proper security clearance to even work in the damn house, let alone see top secret documents? Does it bother you that every staff member in the White House, is white? How about, that they are all in the highest tax bracket and get the most from the tax bill? Every one of these facts should bother you to your core, if indeed you care about America and our political and economic future. Black America, this is our bus boycott. This is our Bloody Sunday! This is where we decide, to stand and fight, or do we sit and watch? My guest, Dr. Omekongo Dibinga and Rebekah Caruthers, break it all down for us.

    117 - America’s Blind Trust
    A racist, bigoted, narcissistic buffoon sits in 1600 without a clue of what to do, or how to do it. And yet, there are people who still think that having a racist for president is okay. Voters, made a deal and put the security and welfare of America in a BLIND TRUST and left Donald Trump as the fiduciary in charge and themselves hostage to 4yrs of chaos, threats of nuclear war, and a return to white supremacist way of thinking. America buried its head in the sand and as a result, their own bias’ against a woman are coming home to roost. Damien Thaddeus, Kellie Green, Dr. Omekongo Dibinga, and Ron Busby join the round table and discuss the GOP Tax Plan, and the concern for black businesses.

    115 - “A Slow & Dirty Death”
    When a Commander in Chief lies about his conduct, everyone should hold that individual accountable. From Congress to the American people, they should hold that leader responsible for anything that happens on his watch. Unfortunately, Congress and that 27 percent don’t think so. As a result, hundreds of Americans have died because of his lack of leadership. The GOP has neglected to care for their constituents and other Americans across this country and it shows as the death toll increases with every tweet. Prof. Kelly Green and Political Consultant Rebekah Caruthers breaks it all down.

    114 - “.45 Caliber”
    A .45 Caliber weapon is known for its destruction to human life. It’s powerful bullet can rip through the bones of a man’s kneecap, or put a cantaloupe size hole in the back of a man’s head. That is the same destruction that many Americans have been feeling over the past 8months since there has been a 45 in the White House. Any .45 is deadly and destructive, and both have the potential of killing a number of innocent by-standers, whether it be through the power of 45s pen or, if its through the slight hand movement of pulling the trigger. The results are nearly the same, death at the hands of a .45! My guests Craig Kirby and Gregory Stewart join me and share their thoughts and insights.

    113 - “Hypocrisy of White Privilege”
    The Constitution grants American’s rights of expression and protection. However, it seems that those rights and protections only exist or are accepted when they are expressed by hypocritical white folks. When Black American’s exercise those same rights, they are labeled or demonized for it. Colin Kaepernick quietly expressed his disdain for police brutality, and his efforts have cost him his career. But, Donald Trump’s family can have private emails, communication with Russia, and make money off the government while being employed by the government a direct violation of an emoluments clause of the Constitution. However, it doesn’t seem to apply to Donald Trump. White privilege holds a revolving door of hypocrisy and my guest Dr. Omekongo Dibinga, Rebekah Caruthers and Jason Crosby discuss how White Privilege hurts America.

    112 - Reality Check
    It was June 16, 2015, when a 68yr old smug, arrogant, insecure, narcissistic, Test Tube baby declared his candidacy for the presidency of these United States of America. The announcement was filled with vile animus and hatred towards Latino’s, immigrants, and other foreign and domestic ethnic groups of color. His language was filled with race baiting rhetoric that stoked the fears of many American’s now willing to embrace that fear tactic and support the dangerous path of this man. American’s must ask themselves, which America do they want to live in, a Post-Civil Rights Movement or a Post-Donald Trump. My guest is Trump supporter and District of Columbia Ward 7 ANC Commissioner, Greg Stewart.

    111 - “RECLAIMING OUR LEGACY”
    Thomas Jefferson once said “(white folks)… what we need is six years of compulsory education, and what he meant was education for white folks. Why, did he say this, "that white folks needed six years of school? Because he said, “So that they could rack a few geniuses from the rubbish, the rubbish being a dirt pile, or white trash. And remember these are white folks Jefferson was speaking of.” America we have to consider our future. Black America, we can no longer sit around and wait; We have to Reclaim Our Legacy! With so many of our Civil Rights reverting back to pre Civil Rights Movement, and some going back before Reconstruction, we don’t have time to bitch, gripe or complain. It’s time for action!!! We need to set our agenda, draft our legislation, and move forward with solid benchmarks of accomplishments. Our Historically Black Colleges and Universities need support from everyone from alumni, corporations, donors, students, faculty and staff to ensure that Our Legacy is still in tacked
