The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

I forgot to mention Haiti, which is right here in this hemisphere and what U.S. policies have and are doing there. Many within the growing progressive podcast class is becoming almost as big of a problem of the democratic consulting class. Their insistence on treating the Israel/Palestine genocide as a voting litmus test is going to convince many of their followers to stay home. I also find it disingenuous because most of them don’t use their platform to discuss the violence and genocide facing people in places like Congo and Sudan, two places where our money is directly impacting the conflicts. We are supposed to vote people into office who represent the majority of our agenda and then force them to get with the rest of our platform. That’s what our ancestors did. Many of these podcasters are going to be fine regardless of who wins. There is so much at stake right now. MAGA wants us to stay home and divided. As I said before, you can’t fight to free Palestine when you’re fighting to keep your healthcare and put gas in your car or your own civil rights at home. Trump is intentionally making our lives so we can’t fight harder for Palestine. And when was the last time these folks were out there protesting Trump like they did against Biden? They have more smoke for Kamala (who was never POTUS), Biden who WAS POTUS, and Obama, who hasn’t been POTUS in a decade.

I didn't agree with people who said that Jay-Z was a sellout for partnering with the #nfl for reasons I explain in the video. The deal with #target feels different because  @target  has a direct impact in our communities and #jayz could have flexed a little more to make Target bring back its DEI efforts. But, like, I said, he is not the only rapper to let us down in this moment. #boycotttarget #targetfast #fasttarget #jamalbryant #upstander #boycott #buycott #kendricklamar #snoop #snoopdogg  @NFL  STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The school told me that teachers were still upset that he won. This was back in 2008. The stories they were told about Black people couldn't let them grasp the signficance of his win and pass that on to the students of all backgrounds. We have to break these narratives. What would you have done in this scenario? #obama #barackobama #obamacenter #juneteenth #juneteenth2026 #upstander Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump's disgraceful interview with Kristen Welker is the latest highlight of how low we have sunk to as a country. If we are going to bring this country back to any form of path to decency, it's going to be up to YOU and up to ME. What are YOU going to do about it? The misogyny. The racism. The xenophobia. The anti-islamic actions. The antisemitism. The homophobia and transphobia. Run down the list. It doesn't matter whether Trump started or just unleashed it, we are here.

Seemingly everyday but definitely weekly, I am seeing stories of Black people being lynched. Remember, every hanging is a lynching, but every lynching is not a hanging. This is not being investigated by enough media sources. Trump has given a permission structure for this and his reparations fund proposal is only going to make this worse. This is a real issue right now for our community and it's barely getting attention. We have to join others who have been sounding this alarm. #lynching #lynchings #upstander #idabwells #idabwellsbarnett #jimcrow #johncrow Learn more about your ad choices.

​ @stephenasmithspeaks  actually believes he is doing something exceptional as a Black man spewing republican talking points.

It’s weird seeing Black men get singled out for things that everyone else does. I have no problem with focusing attention on challenges to our community that are mainly on Black men to handle, particularly related to violence in our communities, but I’m increasingly seeing us get singled out for things that people from every group do, including Black women.

It has been so annoying to hear all these liberal networks and podcasters give air to Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Megyn Kelly and others. They do not deserve to be welcomed into the tent of those fighting for real peace and justice. Depending on who we're talking about, these guys are grifters, racists, homophones, antisemites, Islamophobes, and more. It should take real work and real accountability for people to be embraced in this space and these networks and podcasts need to be mindful of that.

actions is quite despicable. Kanye's #antisemitism is real and problematic. As I've said multiple times, he became anti-Black before he became antisemitic and it's wrong to just blame everything on mental health.

The non-apology apology to #dawnstaley was just what many of us expected in this moment we are in. Just like with the 300,000+ Black women fired, just like the Black woman in the military that Trump didn't want to be seen standing next to, Geno felt very comfortable dismissing Dawn Staley after he completely disrespected her in that moment. Who will stand up for Black people in this moment besides us?

The short answer is no. Chili needs to be up front about her connection to MAGA and Nick Cannon needs to read a book. Even a Wikipedia page would educate him and Amber Rose on American history. We have to call out ignorance wherever we find it. There are many Black educated republicans who know the real history of America who do not support Trump's policies and know more about Lincoln beyond his freeing of some enslave Africans. #nickcannon #chili #tboz #trump #upstander #abrahamlincoln #maga #presidenttrump #trumpnews #stephenasmith #tlc  @NickCannon   @JustAmberRose   @officialTLC  STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

I have a lot of respect for  @zendaya . She is clearly someone who understands the racial politics of being in Hollywood.

Senator Tommy Tuberville's recent comments targeting Mamdani along with Rep. Randy Fine's comments preferring dogs to Muslims are just the latest examples of the Islamophobic sentiment that is rampant in the United States. No republicans are condemning the anti-muslim statements coming from politicians and others. We have to look at what's happening in Iran as well as in the United States from this lens and fight this together.

The elections in Texas were free but not fair. I don't care what the margin of victory was, the shenanigans that occurred should not have been allowed but this is what republicans want.

I don't know how else to say it. On Bill Maher's show, he said that progressives are losing because they think all White people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil.

Donald Trump and his administration have shown themselves to be fully racist. From the ICE policies to the Obamas ape video and everything in between, for these schools to continually cave to him is to support his racism.

I hope that the electorate is on to this scheme. Trump's strategy to win is addition by subtraction and division. Stephen A. Smith must be watched in this space.

Bad Bunny & Bruce Springsteen have shown that there is a clear path to be successful as an artist who speaks about social justice issues. Why are artists scared to do that today? Why are people either being silent or running towards Trump & MAGA? Bad Bunny is the number one artist in the world and is only about a decade in the game. Springsteen has been doing this for over 50 years. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from.

Some just don't care as much anymore. It's all wrong. The @nbpa issued a statement today as well. Would they have done that if it was Destiny Jackson? Look.

On her show #deadlinewhitehouse, Nicolle Wallace mentioned the fact that no #goldenglobe winners made a statement. Others like Mark Ruffalo spoke from the red carpet as well as the host. She along with Rick Stengel also called out the business communities and law firms and other places that have abandoned us. The people with the most to lose are speaking up the most. There should be real consequences for this in the form of protests, canceled subscriptions, boycotts, buycotts, and other things. They made their careers because of the laws of free speech and expression in this country but here we are. What do you think?

I’ve heard so many news outlets say that Tom Homan deserves credit for saying to wait for an investigation into the killing of #reneenicolegood. He is one of the main people responsible for the terroristic action of ICE and Custom Border Patrol. He regularly dehumanizes people and he doesn’t deserve a pass for trying to cover his behind. #trump #kristinoem #trumpnews #upstander #minneapolis #minneapolis Learn more about your ad choices.

As we continue to uplift the life of Renee Nicole Good and her family, we have to be honest in recognizing that this happens in Black communities on a regular basis and we are often not believed. Like many of the people defending the killer, we are regularly dehumanized. There are many lessons that Black America's experiences with law enforcement can teach us if we are willing to listen. Nicole should be here today as so many other people should be. We are also well-versed in watching these killers go free. Will this be a turning point? I am not yet convinced. #reneegood #reneenicolegood #kristinoem #trump #trumpnews #donaldtrump #minneapolis #georgefloyd #timwalz #tomhoman #morningjoe #joescarborough #msnow  @msnow  #upstander #samdubose #samueldubose #raytensing #michaelbrown #blacklivesmatter  @ivehaditpodcast  #jenniferwelch STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

he killing of Renee Nicole Good reminds me of the murder of Viola Liuzzo on March 25, 1965 by the Ku Klux Klan. Like Good, Liuzzo was defamed by her government for her actions. Like Liuzzo, Good was getting in "good trouble" like the late congressman John Lewis said we must do. This is America, but it does not have to be. Good was not a domestic terrorist as #kristinoem called her before even knowing the story. This is who THEY are, but it does not have to be who WE are.

Trump just kidnapped a whole president of another country. This is just the beginning. He built the entire campaign on lies and America just went along with it. The world is just watching as a criminal administration conducts more criminal activities. What Trump is illegal, period. He has shown, once, again, that in the United States, there are only norms, no laws depending on who you are. Americans must stand up! #venezuela #maduro #nicolasmaduro #caracas #trump #stephenmiller #marcorobio #fafo #petehegseth #morningjoe #msnow #nigeria #africa #unitednations #fionahill STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

As we honor the brave people who fought to keep the democratic experiment possible, it's important to recognize that the #insurrection 5 years ago was not a one off. The insurrection is ongoing. It started after Trump lost, continued on January 6th, and continues to this day. #trump will succeed in taking over the country if more people stay complacent and don't engage in the fight for freedom and the principles set by the #constitution. What Are you willing to do to prevent the takeover of The United States? Trump grows stronger by the day and we have to be #upstanders to challenge this if this democratic experiment is to continue. #stephenmiller #january6th #january6thinsurrection #donaldtrump #donaldtrumpnews #capitolpolice #venezuela #nicolasmaduro #maduro STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
