Episodes

  1. Why are you mad at Golden State and not Trump

    Y’all mad at Golden State like they are all the Oreos and left one, but most of y’all ain’t paying attention to what Trump is doing.

  2. Let’s Talk Honestly about Trump’s cruel separation policy

    Defenders of the Trump administration's cruel policy of separating immigrant children from their families at the border keep saying two things that are simply not true and I'm calling those lies out.

  3. Trump's pardon offer to NFL players will not solve criminal justice issues

    With the backdrop of the positive response to his pardon of Alice Johnson and the National Anthem controversy in which National Football League players are protesting police brutality and racism, President Trump in his tone-deaf way has made an offer to black athletes in the NFL to submit cases…

  4. Can we all agree that calling a black person an ape is racist?

    I can't believe that in 2018 people are actually questioning whether comparing a black person to an ape is racist. Are people that ignorant?

  5. Here’s another reason Trump canceled the Eagles White House

    There are theories as to why Trump cancelled the Philadelphia Eagles’ visit to the White House from low crowd size to falsely blaming the Eagles for kneeling. Here’s another potential reason.

  6. ABC was right to fire Roseanne Barr.

    ABC cancelled Roseanne Barr’s revived sitcom after racist tweets in which she compared former Obama administration security adviser Valerie Jarret to a gorilla.

  7. The NFL is misguided with its new National Anthem Policy

    The NFL passed a resolution stating that if players are on the field that they must stand for the National Anthem. Herr are two reasons I believe that this new policy is misguided.

  8. Hey conservatives, African Americans do know history

    It amazes me when conservatives discuss the African American voters not voting Republican and feel the need to run off a set of facts that for some reason they feel African Americans don't know.

  9. I don’t care about the Royal Wedding

    This is knock against the happy couple about to be married or those that are interested in the Royal Wedding but I could care less about this “event”

  10. So you want to call the police on black people...

    Maybe it’s time to start fining people who want to call the police on black people who are just doing normal everyday things while black.

  11. John McCain deserves a certain level of respect!

    As a US Army veteran and even as a Democrat I respect US Senator John McCain. The fact that the White House will not publicly apologize for recent disgusting comments by Kelly Sadler is horrible.

  12. Black people, it’s okay to say hello to one another

    Being black in America can be stressful enough , especially under Trump but black people that doesn’t mean we can’t say hello to one another.

  13. Black people don't dislike black republicans just because they are republicans

    There is a small but vocal group of black republicans who would have you think that the Black Community as a whole hates them simply because they are republicans. It’s a little more complicated than that.

  14. There’s nothing weak or weird about black nerds!

    I’m a proud black geek and I rebuke the stereotype of black nerds being weak or weird.

  15. Who cares who Donald Glover is with?

    It shouldn’t matter to anyone that black actor Donald Glover is married to a white woman, but Glover should not bash black women to justify his choice.
