I’m not a sore loser. For my entire life, I’ve called the man who won the presidential election by their rightful title of President of the United States. I didn’t vote for Ronald or either George, but to me they were always President Reagan and President Bush. Under no circumstance will I be calling […]
The incident occurred recently outside a hotel when two men from the Standing Rock tribe were blocked inside a parking lot as several masked men approached their car.
Last week, here on the show, after the Grammy nominees were announced, and we learned that the Top 5 most nominated artists were all Black artists, which has never happened before, I did a segment on how we are currently in the midst of a beautiful renaissance of Black music, art, and culture. I […]

Good Morning Everybody! I wanna change things up a little bit for us today. As you may know, every single day of the week, I write about injustice and police brutality and racial discrimination for the New York Daily News. As an activist, I’m helping to lead the Injustice Boycott. Every Tuesday and Thursday […]

Today, on the 61st anniversary of the launch of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, now just hours after a major victory was won for the people of Standing Rock, hundreds of thousands of us have joined together to take an organized stand against racial injustice and police brutality in America. This is the Injustice Boycott. It’s […]
69 people have been shot & killed by police since Donald Trump was elected President. Yet most of us could not name a single one of those victims because for most of this month, and I understand it, I’m one of you, we’ve been so terrified of what it means that Donald Trump will […]
In the hook to Drake’s new song, “Fake Love,” he has a lyric that says “I’ve been down so long it look like up to me. I got fake people showin’ fake love to me. “ Can I be real this morning? For far too long, those lines could perfectly describe the plight of Black […]
It has now been two weeks since our country elected Donald Trump as the next President of the United States. I have to admit that 14 days later, it’s still painful to accept that we are going from President Barack Obama to President Donald Trump. In fact, if anything at all is clear, it […]
Since Donald Trump was elected President last week, I’ve received thousands and thousands of emails from all over the country reporting a terrible increase in hate crimes and bigotry and racism and intimidation. At first, I’d simply read them, do my best to verify them however I could, then share them on Facebook and […]
On Sunday evening, Donald Trump announced that his Chief Strategist in the White House will be Stephen Bannon. It was the first announcement he made for staffers and is a clear signal that we don’t have to wait and see who Trump values most in the world or whether or not he will become […]
