Send us a textModern American politics can be a severely contentious subject, dissolving friendships and oftentimes splitting families down the middle, leaving many of us to choose between distancing from our loved ones or avoiding political discourse, altogether. This week's guest, Horace Gold has made it his mission to bridge the divide between himself (a left-leaning gay Black man) and his deeply religious, MAGA faithful parents. Horace and I share the similarities in our upbringing, have ...

Send us a textI had the opportunity to cover the DNC as a social media content creator this week. Much has been made of the access content creators were given to cover the convention this year -- much of it false info from traditional media -- I won't bother to clear up the rumors here.What I will say is that it was an honor to be in the room for this historic event. Watching the first major political party nominate a woman of color was overwhelming and quite heartening. I keep likening...
Send us a textWe're tackling two important topics today - the first being anti-Blackness within the pro-Palestinian movement. This issue has come to a head in recent weeks on TikTok, in particular, where the pro-Palestinian movement has gained a lot of traction since the attacks of October 7th. Many young Black activists have stood in solidarity with those who have dedicated their social media accounts to calling for Palestinian independence. But the rise of Kamala Harris as the Democrat...
Send us a textKamala Harris and her new VP pick, Tim Walz are what some might call a "Dream Team." Walz was a bit of an unconventional pick, but anyone who's seen them on stage together would have to acknowledge that he makes the perfect compliment for her. Much like her, he's optimistic, he's plain-spoken and he's... *gasp* joyful. These are words you wouldn't necessarily associate with politics, but they're qualities that have been sorely lacking in our political sphere of late. As we'...
Send us a textToday, my guest Gerard LeConte and I discuss the ever-growing influence of so-called "Red Pill Culture" on the current Republican Party. From Andrew Tate to Jordan Peterson and now JD Vance, there's no shortage of far-right spokesmen to channel the anger, frustration and loneliness of young men and boys into increasingly toxic viewpoints. Gerard LeConte and I are discussing a recent viral video he did on this topic: Right Wing RadicalizationWe're discussing ways that those conce...
Send us a textAnd just like that, Kamala Harris is now within a stone's throw of the presidency. Today, we're taking a look at how we got here, and I'm evaluating my own thought process around the idea of electing a Black woman as president, and examining how even those of us who think she can do the job can behave as impediments to her actually getting the job.

Send us a textDonald Trump has chosen his running mate – a newly-minted Senator from the state of Ohio named JD Vance. Many will remember him from the best-selling book he wrote in 2016 called, “Hillbilly Elegy.” JD Vance was a media darling at that time. His book shone a light on the unique struggles of America’s white poor. But festering beneath the surface of this self-proclaimed “conservative with a conscience” was a man who held a special contempt for America’s so-called “liberal el...

There are those of us who thought this question would be resolved by now, but it hasn't been.

Send us a textMuch is being made of Joe Biden's abysmal debate performance against Donald Trump. Predictably, the news media, and many within the Democratic Party have sounded the alarm -- Should Joe Biden step down and allow someone else to take over? Does sticking with the incumbent ruin the Democrats' chances of winning the upcoming election against Donald Trump?Today, I'm talking with social media activist and political commentator, Gerard LeConte about this, and getting his honest take o...

What are the implications within your community, family and friends’ circle? How does being the child of a minister impact this process?

Send us a textThis is part two of a 3-part conversation with journalist, filmmaker and author Garrison Hayes on Black people and the Christian church. Garrison has made some interesting video essays on why Black people by and large continue to affiliate as "Christian." In this episode, Garrison and I get into a bit of our personal stories with faith, and we discuss how our exploration of the racial dynamics of our upbringings affected that relationship.
