Full EP | Ms. Rachel in Support of Reparations for African Americans; Kids Using Profanity First Day of School; Urban One Founder Ms. Cathy Hughes Joins DLHS Crew; Do Not Post This About Your Partner; and More

Big conversations, bold opinions, and a celebration of Black excellence take center stage on this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show. D.L. and the crew weighed in on the growing debate surrounding children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel after she publicly supported reparations for African Americans by sharing excerpts from Ta-Nehisi Coates’ influential essay The Case for Reparations, sparking passionate reactions across social media. The show also tackled trending legal and political stories, including Donald Trump’s latest court setback in the E. Jean Carroll case, while D.L.’s “GED Section” focused on accountability, media responsibility, and the role public figures play in shaping conversations within the Black community. Additional context discussed on the show reflects the ongoing national debate over reparations and racial justice, which has gained renewed attention following Ms. Rachel’s social media posts supporting Black-owned businesses and Coates’ call for America to confront the lasting effects of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and discriminatory housing policies.   The Question of the Day sparked lively listener responses after a viral video showed elementary school children using profanity and making obscene gestures on their first day of school. D.L. and Jasmine Sanders debated whether the behavior was harmless childhood fun or a sign of parenting choices that could contribute to future delinquency, while also emphasizing that children should never be written off because of early mistakes. Later, Urban One founder Ms. Cathy Hughes joined the show following her recent recognition with the Key to the City of Washington, D.C., reflecting on her decades-long mission to amplify Black voices and create opportunities through Urban One. Hughes, the first woman to receive the honor from Mayor Muriel Bowser, credited the company’s employees and on-air talent for its success. The episode closed with Jasmine’s “Top 5” list of things couples should never post online, including details about their sex lives, infidelity, finances, exes, and relationship arguments, reinforcing the idea that some parts of a relationship are better kept private.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-dl-hughley-show  Music Credits:  Bon Voyage/Ryan James Carr/Courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
