Join for an insightful discussion on the nuanced difference between racism and systemic racism. Dive deep into the manifestations of individual prejudices versus the overarching structures that perpetuate racial disparities in society. 1. Racism: Individual beliefs, attitudes, or actions that discriminate based on race or ethnicity.- Systemic Racism: Policies and practices entrenched in institutions that disadvantage racial minority groups. 2. Examples:- Racism: Personal prejudices, racial slurs, or discriminatory actions in day-to-day encounters.- Systemic Racism: Discriminatory lending practices, unequal school funding, and racially biased policing. 3. Consequences:- Racism: Direct emotional or physical harm to individuals, perpetuating stereotypes.- Systemic Racism: Persistent racial disparities in health, wealth, education, and opportunities .4. Addressing the Issues:- Combating racism: Educating individuals, fostering conversations, promoting reflection and understanding.- Tackling systemic racism: Advocating for policy changes, mobilizing communities, and ensuring institutional accountability. 5. Interconnected Nature:- How individual beliefs can feed into and reinforce systemic issues.- How institutions and systems shape and influence individual perspectives and behaviors 6. Call to Action:- Encourage viewers to self-reflect on their potential biases.- Advocate for structural changes in local communities.- Promote continued education on the topic to widen understanding and promote unity!!

 Hello, everyone! Thank you for joining me today for this important topic this morning We're going to dive into a crucial topic – how cities can turn their resolutions for addressing racial inequities into tangible actions. I'm here to discuss some key points that highlight the challenges and opportunities that come with such resolutions. So, let's get started! Lack of Specific Action Steps:  One major aspect of effective resolutions is outlining specific action steps, timelines, and measurable goals. Without these details, it's challenging to assess progress and hold the city accountable. It's like planning a trip without a map – we need clear directions to reach our destination of racial equity.* Implementation Challenges:  Implementing a Racial Equity Plan can be tough due to bureaucracy, competing priorities, and limited resources. However, it's vital that commitments translate into real changes. Overcoming these challenges means reshaping processes to prioritize equity and inclusivity.* Funding and Resource Allocation:  Allocating funds is essential, but it's not just about setting aside money. It's about ensuring that the allocated resources are sufficient to make a meaningful impact. Proper funding allows for the development and execution of programs that can create lasting change.* Lack of Stakeholder Engagement:  Real change requires input from the communities affected by racial inequities. If the resolution lacks input from BIPOC communities and other stakeholders, it might not fully address the root causes of racial disparities. Engagement ensures that the solutions resonate with those who need them most.* Monitoring and Accountability:  Progress needs regular monitoring and transparent reporting. This ensures that the city's commitment isn't just lip service. Accountability mechanisms keep everyone on track and show the community that real progress is being made.* Limited Scope:  Racism affects various aspects of society – from education to healthcare to housing. While a resolution might touch on many areas, it's important to ensure its scope is broad enough to address the systemic nature of racial inequities.* Cultural Change and Bias:  Addressing racism requires more than policy changes – it requires cultural shifts. Bias and systemic racism must be acknowledged and tackled head-on. A resolution that doesn't address these issues might fall short of creating lasting change

Join Chaz as he dives no deep into the complex relationship between the U.S. government's policies, the crack cocaine epidemic of the 80s, and the rise of gangs in black communities and how today they are pastors and have titles but really the same people even with the elected officials 1. Historical Context: The 1980s crack epidemic hit urban black communities hard, intertwining with economic challenges and spikes in violence.2. U.S. Government's Policies:The "War on Drugs" and the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act led to disproportionate penalties for crack, impacting black communities most severely.3. Allegations of Government Involvement:Reports, like Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance," suggest potential indirect U.S. government roles in the epidemic, fostering mistrust.4. Rise of Street Gangs:Economic prospects from drug trade fortified street gangs, intertwining protection, opportunity, and belonging.5. From Gangs to Leadership:Some ex-gang members have become community leaders, offering unique insights but also stirring controversy.6. Elected Officials' Backgrounds:The line between reformed leaders and unresolved affiliations can be thin, affecting community trust.7. Today's Perspective:The epidemic's history illuminates current issues like mass incarceration and racial justice system disparities.8. Conclusion:Addressing the epidemic's aftermath means acknowledging past mistakes and promoting community leadership.

In this episode of "Da Urban Conservative," host Chaz Neal undertakes a critical examination of a distressing incident in Los Angeles County, spotlighting grave concerns regarding law enforcement conduct. The focus centers on the tragic events of December 4th, where 27-year-old Niani Finlayson lost her life at the hands of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy. Neal unfolds a narrative marked by escalating tension as Finlayson, seeking assistance after an attack by her ex-boyfriend, becomes the victim of lethal force. Notably, this case echoes a disconcerting pattern involving Deputy Ty Shelton, who had previously been involved in the fatal shooting of Michael Thomas under comparable circumstances in 2020. The episode scrutinizes the broader implications of these incidents, particularly in relation to law enforcement's approach to domestic violence situations. The lack of body camera footage emerges as a significant impediment, introducing opacity to the proceedings and impeding the much-needed transparency and accountability. Further complicating matters, Finlayson's family has initiated legal proceedings against the county and sheriff's department, citing wrongful death, assault, and civil rights violations. Neal emphasizes the imperative of an exhaustive, impartial investigation to unearth the truth. Should malfeasance be identified, a call for accountability and justice becomes paramount. The narrative extends beyond individual cases, shedding light on a larger issue of alleged police brutality, especially against Black women, in the Antelope Valley region. Neal acknowledges the justified demands of local advocacy groups for accountability and transparency, advocating for comprehensive changes in community engagement, policy reforms, and law enforcement practices. Transitioning to the second segment, the episode navigates the intriguing terrain of the "Cluster B society." Neal delves into the psychological dynamics that characterize the modern era, emphasizing the impact of personal pathologies and social media on our culture. Psychologists' identification of four distinct psychopathologies within the Cluster B personality disorders—narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, and antisocial—forms the crux of the discussion. Neal articulates how these traits, once considered individual matters, are now influencing and shaping societal patterns and structures across various domains, including politics and media representation. A thought-provoking exploration unfolds, painting a picture of American public life resembling a Cluster B psychodrama, where victimhood supplants accomplishment, accusations supplant disagreements, and false compassion manipulates citizens into compliance. Neal highlights the pivotal role of universities as breeding grounds for these pathologies, particularly within campus cultures dominated by female administrators prioritizing concepts such as trauma and systemic injustice over substantive debate. The episode concludes with a poignant call to understand the profound impact of these Cluster B traits on our culture, institutions, and political landscape. Neal reinforces the importance of dialogue and critical analysis as tools to navigate the complexities of our modern world. As the episode wraps, the audience is left with a resonating invitation to stay tuned for more discussions on the pertinent issues that shape and define our contemporary reality. The overarching message remains clear: it is through informed discourse that we confront the multifaceted challenges of our times.

Come join the conversation!! What is the true meaning of freedom? Freedom is defined by Merriam Webster as the quality or state of being free, such as: the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. liberation from slavery or from the power of another.Freedom is the power or right to act , speak, and change as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Freedom is often associated with liberty and autonomy in the sense of "giving oneself one's own laws.In one definition, something is "free" if it can change and is not constrained in its present state. Physicists and chemists use the word in this sense Black history isn’t a separate history.This is all of our history, this is American history, and we need to understand that. It has such an impact on kids and their values and how they view black people.

On todays show chaz talks about his experience in the black lives matter movement the sad ugly truth

lets have a conversation about black history and why are we repeating history and not changing it? We the BLACK community is our biggest obstacle to overcome. African Americans still face more hurdles to get a job, never mind a good one, than their white counterparts. They continue to face systematically higher unemployment rates, fewer job opportunities, lower pay, poorer benefits, and greater job instability. These persistent differences reflect systematic barriers to quality jobs, such as outright discrimination against African American workers.

on todays episode we discuss In recent years, many police departments have trained officers to be alert to the risk of what's called "positional asphyxia," the possibility that prolonged restraint of a suspect in a prone position can be deadly. It's a lesson some in the Minneapolis Police Department already learned once, 10 years ago. Minneapolis paid out $3 million to settle a lawsuit over the 2010 death of David Smith, 28. The young black man was mentally ill, his attorneys said, and died after officers Tasered him and then held him facedown on the floor for several minutes. One of them kept a knee on his back even after he stopped responding to questions. In 2013 the city of Minneapolis paid $3 million to the family of David Cornelius Smith, who died after police pinned him face down, while handcuffed, on the floor of a downtown YMCA. In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Minnesota, West alleges he tried to comply and the officers beat him anyway. According to the suit, Tyler Klund's father, Sgt. Darcy Klund, cleared the officers of wrongdoing by conducting a supervisor use-of-force review on his son.1994–2002: Robert Olson served as Chief of the MPD until his dismissal through federal mediation in 2002. 2001: Communities United Against Police Brutality (CUAPB), which was established, was critical of the 2003 Mediation Agreement between the City of Minneapolis and federal mediators, who had come together to "discuss police misconduct." Initially, the city refused to do so in spite of the Jordan riot. 2002: William McManus began his terms as MPD chief of police. He resigned in 2006 when he joined the San Antonio Police Department. March 2002: A MPD police officer shot and killed a "machete-wielding Somali man. Riots broke out in north Minneapolis in response to the March 2002 shooting death. 2003: The MPD "entered into a federal mediation agreement with the U.S. Justice Department" to address a number of police issues including "use of force, diversity and race relations." The mediation agreement was intended to "soothe community tensions". 2005: The Minnesota Legislature 2005 introduced laws to "improve coordination of gang and drug enforcement efforts" throughout Minnesota. As part of this "reorganization" the state-level Metro Gang Strike Force (2005 - 2009).2  The Legislature had created the state level Gang and Drug Oversight Council, the "Council" (2005 - 2010) to "establish and supervise multi-jurisdictional task forces and strike forces" across Minnesota. The Minnesota Gang Strike Force was dissolved at this time.The council had 32 voting members including the Attorney General, chiefs of police selected by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, sheriffs, representative from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Drug Enforcement Administration, Minnesota Tribal Law Enforcement Association, and others. 2006: Bob Kroll, who has been a police officer with the Minneapolis Police Department since 1989, was appointed as Federation vice president after having served on the board of directors in 1996.Over 41,593 inmates were book by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. 2007: By 2007 the Minneapolis-based Hennepin County Sheriff's Office with its headquarters in downtown Minneapolis, was one of the "largest law enforcement agencies in Minnesota." The Sheriff's Office had "division and unit facilities spread" throughout Hennepin County. At the time, the Office had a $69 million operational budget.

Will be discussing minnesota as well as the tennessee 2 and jayland walker and justice for Mo Akron ohio Shortly after his death, the city passed the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act, promising sweeping changes to policing. For the most part, the demands in the act have yet to be implemented. "This far down the road, and with so little progress made, and a really deep feeling of watering down of what will end up getting passed," said Amity Dimock, Kobe's mother. Dimock and Wright are co-chairs of the implementation committee. They say they made recommendations to the city council about six months ago, but have yet to see the council move their proposals forward to an eventual vote and implementation. "To lose Daunte in a city that promised so many changes, and all we see is baby steps? And we're not even seeing that," Wright said. Since Daunte Wright's death in 2021, there have been several changes to city leadership in Brooklyn Center, including several new city council members, new mayor and police chief. After 4 minutes and 41 seconds, Chauvin removed his knee and carried Code to his squad car by one of her arms.An MPD supervisor, Sergeant Tammy Werner, later "reviewed and approved" the officer’s use of force against code, the complaint says. A grand jury is soon expected to decide whether the eight Akron police officers involved in the June 2022 shooting death of 25-year-old Jayland Walker will face charges.Meanwhile, city officials are preparing for unrest in the streets, setting up barricades at the city’s justice center and police department and the county courthouse; boarding up the windows of city hall; and restricting access to other public buildings.

On this episode we talk Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors. Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.

On today's episode we discuss Rankism and what part does the black church play in the downfall of the black community Rankism is "abusive, discriminatory, and/or exploitative behavior towards people because of their rank in a particular hierarchy". Rank-based abuse underlies many other phenomena such as bullying, racism, hazing, ageism, sexism, ableism, mentalism, antisemitism, homophobia and transphobia. African American churches were vital to the success of the civil rights movement. They hosted mass meetings, were meeting points for rallies and marches, and provided much-needed emotional, physical, moral and spiritual support.
