Niggas....

from Lanterns in the Dark: Thoughts From the Other Side of the Tracks · host Angelo Pierro Hopson

The most detrimental thing in our community isn’t fried food or racism—it’s inaction. What if the real problem isn’t the city or the circumstances, but our collective mindset as so-called Black men? In this eye-opening episode, Angelo Hopson exposes how Black men’s tendency to avoid solution-based thinking paralyzes progress, both in communities and in ourselves.Using real-world parallels, Angelo breaks down how NBA players will criticize places like Memphis but won’t pool their resources to change it—just like we do in our own communities. Meanwhile, the same men dominating barbershop conversations about Black women “not being submissive” can’t lead, can’t build, and don’t think beyond their job. There’s no real understanding of value systems, no vision for community, and no urgency around what actually matters.
