THE RIGHT AND LEFT DILEMMA

When teaching a group, those in charge establish how much data will be dissimilated and to whom. Some of the information may be accurate, incorrect, or a combination of both. We will talk about two of the most recent issues in education today: the 1776 commission and the 1619 project. If information is power, why is a restricted quantity of the populace being given access?   The call-in number is (347) 838-8622 Showtime is 2pm Central / 3pm Eastern Chatroom Link is: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/mrtalk We are available on all social media sites.

UNCIRCUMCISED KNOWLEDGE

We witnessed one more round of fear purchasing last week as the primary gas supply route to the U.S. east coast was shut down by a cyberattack. Attorneys representing Derek Chauvin have asked the judge for a new trial. Why? Florida principal hits a 6-year-old girl with a paddle as punishment because she damaged a computer. Was she right for doing it? Why is Candace Owens still acceptable on social media? One metropolitan area in the U.S. had no police shootings in 2020; how did they do it?   Showtime is 2pm central and 3pm Eastern The Call-in number is (347) 838-8622 Chatroom Link is: www.blogtalkradio.com/mrtalk Let's Talk is on all social media sites.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

In the shadows of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict, another shooting captured headlines. 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant was shot and killed by a Columbus police officer during an altercation. As usual, there was an enormous outcry regarding the shooting, with many questions. Birmingham, Alabama mayor, pardoned 15,000 people convicted of marijuana possession between 1990-2020. Will this commence a pattern across the nation as more states begin to legalize marijuana usage? LET'S TALK!!

EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED

RECENT POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTINGS SEEM TO HAVE A FAMILIAR TERM ATTACHED, AND THAT TERM IS RESISTING ARREST. THE SHOW TODAY WILL BE A DISCUSSION ON THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF RESISTING ARREST AND ASKING THE QUESTION WHETHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OVER REACTS TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS THEY CLASSIFY AS RESISTING ARREST. THE BURDEN OF DE-ESCALATION DOES NOT FALL ON PRIVATE CITIZENS — IT FALLS ON POLICE OFFICERS. HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT ASSUME OFFICERS WILL BEHAVE IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS YOUR SAFETY OR THAT THEY WILL RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS EVEN AFTER YOU ASSERT THEM. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO REDUCE RISK TO YOURSELF BY STAYING CALM AND NOT EXHIBITING HOSTILITY TOWARD THE OFFICERS. THE TRUTH IS THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE: HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO PUT AN OFFICER AT EASE; YET STILL ENDED UP INJURED OR KILLED.

I AM SO OFFENDED

THE SHOW TODAY IS A RE-BROADCAST FROM 2012 ON THE TOPIC OF DEPRESSION AND THE EFFECT IT HAS ON THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND VETERANS. THERE ARE MANY SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF THIS SILENT KILLER, BUT THEY OFTEN GO UNNOTICED BY THOSE CLOSEST TO US. GETTING TO THE POINT OF DEPRESSION HAS MANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS LIKE GENETICS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, STRESS, HORMONE LEVELS, AND LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. DEPRESSION DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE REGARDING SEX, RELIGION, OR ECONOMIC BACKGROUND. 

DEPRESSION THE SILENT KILLER

On the show today, we will catch up on the latest happenings across the country. What caused the power and water problems in Texas during a severe snowstorm? Why is there still so much controversy about the national anthem and kneeling? Did Coke Cola insist white employees act less white? Is the covid-19 vaccination effective against all seven strains of the virus? These are some of the things we will attempt to answer on the show today. Please join me for a spirited conversation and fun. Feel free to call the show or join me in the chatroom to voice your opinions and comments.

LET'S CATCH UP

The show today will be a continuation of our black history month celebration through music. The second part of our journey will take place starting in the mid-1970s when black musical artists began to voice their views and displeasure with the world around them. Musical artists began utilizing their music to speak about teen pregnancy, economic plight, racism, and violence in the African American community. We also saw the emergence of a new form of music called rap that provided America with a more definitive explanation about what was happening in America's inner cities. Rap groups Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Geto Boys, and NWA provided insight through music that energized a new generation to take action and pride in their communities.

A JOURNEY THROUGH MUSIC PT II

Today's show will be a journey through time with the music of slavery and civil rights periods as we continue our Black History Month celebration. During slavery, slaves would use a song as communication of plans regarding escaping the plantation to freedom. Lyrics in the song would determine the when, where, and how their march to freedom would occur. Although things had changed during the civil rights era, music was used as a call to arms to help change the atmosphere of racism and jim crow laws by singers and songwriters. Many of the songs have been interpreted by both religious leaders and folk tellers throughout history. Please join me today for a fun and informative show.

A JOURNEY THROUGH MUSIC

The month of February is black history month, and throughout the month we will introduce various people and events that shaped the civil rights movement. On the show today, I will introduce Mr. Robert F. Williams of Monroe North Carolina. Mr Williams's philosophy was viewed as both heroic and seditious by other civil rights leaders of the time. Regardless of the differences in philosophies they all wanted the same thing “FREEDOM FROM WHITE SUPREMACY.” Before Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., there was Robert F. Williams who was frustrated and angered by violence condoned or abetted by the local authorities against blacks. Monroe North Carolina's community brought the issue of armed self-defense to the forefront of the civil rights movement. Under Robert Williams leadership Monroe North Carolina became the test case of blacks' rights to armed self-defense when law and order broke down.
