  • Touch not mine ...

    15/07/2023 Duration: 01h57min

    We NEED to respond to Mandisa and the BN affiliates response (non-response). Mandisa always talks about hating hypocrites and she is the bigget hypocrite of them all. I guess accountability and responsibility are for everyone but her. I couldn't make this up if I wanted to. They (Mandisa Lateefah Thomas and the BN Affiliates) are basically gaslighting YOU! The next round of gaslighting central will focus on restorative justice. Sikivu Hutchinson has already laid the groundwork to restore Mandisa to her rightful place of touch not thine anointed one. Raina and I have pointed out that Sikivu and many others are complicit.  Predators of any sort should not be tolerated. However, with some of these people, they want the same treatment given to white men in particular. They will do anything to maintain their proximity to whiteness. We've been warning you about this since 2012. You got angry with us, but that's fine too... We really need to talk about sex cults and the harm that they inflict. It's same typ

    Please join Raina and Kim, Saturday, April 8, 2023 @ 1pm CDT, as they discuss religiosity and the mass incarceration system. Why isn't the secular community addressing these very real issues?  https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/12/523603112/alabama-senate-says-church-can-start-its-own-police-force https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinion/2019/09/05/opinion-why-we-should-concerned-alabamas-new-church-police/2198705001/ https://www.missioalliance.org/church-complicity-mass-incarceration/ https://religionnews.com/2020/11/16/new-book-examines-evangelicals-complex-approach-to-mass-incarceration/ https://news-archive.hds.harvard.edu/news/2017/10/13/christianity-race-and-mass-incarceration https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2020/07/17/religious-ideals-shaped-broken-us-prison-system-can-they-also-fix-it https://lawliberty.org/book-review/did-evangelicals-shape-americas-mass-incarceration/ https://truthout.org/articles/faith-communities-must-stop-funding-programs-that-rein

    We don't even know where to begin, but we sure as hell know where it stops. 

  • How many problematic whypipo do the Democrats need to 'feel comfortable'?

    24/01/2021 Duration: 01h39min

    Please join us as we discuss the current political and cultural climate in this country.  The Democrats are pushing a theme of unity and outreach. We can't afford to allow them to brush over what has taken place in this country since its inception. While some may feel that the Democrats are going to really push for change, we see that they are reaching out to groups of problematic whypipo who will never see or accept that Black people are human and deserve common human decency, dignity, and respect. How are we supposed to unify with people who are our enemies? We can't afford to continue to allow either party to continue to exploit and marginalize us anymore. However, it seems as though the Democrats are going out of their way to appeal to whypipo who will never accept them.  They seem more determined to find commonalities with people who hate them than with the Black people who have supported them for decades. The Democrats need to understand that even though we may not vote for the Republicans, we are no

  • When someone shows you who they are believe them!

    10/01/2021 Duration: 01h45min

    When someone shows you who they are believe them! There's nothing cryptic about that statement coined by Maya Angelou. It's the truth! We have been warning you about the dangers and pathology of whiteness. Yet, you continue to tell us that it's not really that bad and they wouldn't never stoop to that level. What say you now? There is so much to unpack. The storming of the Capitol in DC and state capitol's should not have surprised you. They openly planned these events. They openly plan because they know that they will be shielded and the laws only apply to the others. We need to be very careful about what we advocate for because the new 'domestic terrorism' laws will be wielded much heavier on marginalized groups. This is another way for them to infringe upon our right to assemble and voice our dissent. Pay attention! I distinctly warned you about what was going to happen. They didn't just start planning these events. America's politics have been stuck in the slavery/civil rights mindset. The Southern st

  • Festivus, martyrs, and be best

    30/12/2020 Duration: 01h09min

    Join us as we recap 2020. There's so much to unpack and understand. Where do I start? What do we do? Who is responsible for everything that happened? How do we move forward? Is 2021 going to be better?

  • We. Are. NOT. Friends.

    Please join us tonight at 5pm CST as we discuss relationships, the election, mainstream organizations and movements, and life in general.  We predicted the 2016 election and we have thoughts about this one and it ain't looking good. What the hell is really going on around these parts?  Let's talk about it.

  • Why are you so surprised?

    13/09/2020 Duration: 58min

    Please join us Sunday as we discuss what is happening in America and American politics. Why are you so surprised? These people tell you and show you exactly who they are.  You choose not to believe them. We continue to appeal to the emotions of people who do not see us as human. The degradation and dehumanization forced upon us has been happening so long that they, as well as some of us, see this as human.  We have to start changing how we think and devise additional ways in which to fight back.

  • White lies, whitelash, and black lives in the balance

    06/09/2020 Duration: 02h01min

    Please join us Sunday at 1pm cdt as we discuss white lies, whitelash, and black lives.  History repeats itself and what we're currently experiencing is the time proven playbook of white people not being able to trick us into silence, obedience, and accomplices in their desperate attempt to keep & maintain power and control. The current political landscape is not new; however, tRump has thrown a few sucker punches that most Americans were not expecting and have no idea how to respond to. Between the overt ism's & phobias, most Americans are experiencing whiplash from watching the political parties sling mud, playing gotcha politics, and not being sure if anyone can be trusted.  Unfortunately, Covid had factored even more distrust in the political systems that are supposed to govern for us.  Feel free to dial in 310-982-4273 and press 1 to speak.

  • Dear Black Church: Is tRump the REAL deal?

    30/08/2020 Duration: 01h50min

    Please join us Sunday at 1:00pm cdt. Dear Black Church: Is tRump the REAL deal? I have some questions for you. I've been noticing the uptick in support from the Black church for tRump and I'm a tad bit curious about this recent change.  Black Republicans are welcome to call the show.  310-982-4273 and press 1

Why are so many people obsessed with being seen as a good person?How does this play into respectability and civility politics?Why is it the so called 'good person' is usually the one in the middle of the majority of the conflicts, chaos, and drama? How does this happen?Do you see yourself as a good person? Why or why not?

  • Time for change

    23/08/2020 Duration: 01h09min

    Please join us as we discuss why it's a time for change.  We must understand that we're all different and that's fine.  However, we can't forget that even though we're different, we're still subjected to the same laws and treatment regardless of who we may think that we are. 

  • Thinking Thoughts And Feeling Feelings

    19/08/2020 Duration: 01h04min

    Please join us Wednesday at 6:00PM CDT as we talk about a number of issues that are being discussed in the black community. We'll talk about black influencers and their roles. How to tell the difference between posers and those who genuinely care about the black community. The black fetch & step mascots whose main job is to misdirect and confuse the black ommunity so that their white benefactors can continue to oppress the black community. The mascots are more than happy to play the part as long as they benefit financially and have the position as overseer of all things black per their definitions. Classism vs racism. Complicit black opportunists. So much to unpack.  See you Wednesday.

  • A Race To White Mediocrity

    16/08/2020 Duration: 01h52min

    Please join us Sunday at 1:00pm CDT as we discuss a variety of topics.  Biden/Harris 2020 Is the Black community obligated to support the Democrats? How did they get our support in the first place? What exactly are the Democrats going to do for the Black community? Why is critical analysis of the candidates being discouraged and attacked? Black exceptionalism & White meritocracy Trump & Trumpism This guy... QAnon Tea Party Birtherism Stealing an election (The snake story is apropos) Domestic terrorism Kanye Black Vote Is the powerbase shifting? Will 60%+ of Black voters show up to the polls? Do we owe any of them anything? Are your opinions being shaped by Black people who are paid to influence your choices? Are Black people traditionally conservative? Are Black people skeptical?

  • The Bell is Tolling

    02/08/2020 Duration: 02h00s

    Please join us as we discuss current events and what brought us to this point.

  • Nothing has changed

    08/07/2020 Duration: 01h29min

    Please join us as we discuss how nothing has changed in many of these communities. They shift or regroup. Beware of the people who claim that things are changing and that we should wait and have 'faith' that things are going to get better. They've been telling us that same story for over 400 years. Don't fall for the tricks.

  • Atheist community, what are you doing?

    02/06/2020 Duration: 01h11min

    Atheist organizations and so called leaders are doing what they do best...absolutely nothing! Where are the statements condemning racism, police murders, vigilante lynch mobs harassing black folks, tRump declaring war on the protesters, etc.? Yet you want us to join your ranks and pay you membership fees. I stand by my past criticisms of you!

  • Slave Patrols, Lynchings, and Slavery in the Era of tRump

    10/05/2020 Duration: 01h47min

    Please join us Sunday as we discuss the Coronavirus and it's impact on Black communities. Not only are we expected to maintain our daily lives (stress, illness, family life, finances, and much more), we are expected to continue to endure the dehumanizing manner in which we are treated. The white supremacist powers that be demand that we turn a blind eye to the atrocities that are visited upon us daily with glad tidings, a dance for the occasion and a song on our lips. How long do they expect us to endure the suffering? Why do our so called leaders continue to fail us? Why are we asking or begging to be recognized as human beings deserving of fair treatment, equal rights, economic justice, social justice, and so much more? When are we going to not only say enoough is enough, but demonstrate that we aren't going to take the abuse anymore?
