For centuries mankind has had to deal with one of the number one questions on mankind's mind. It's really a part of a trivial process from the time of our birth. Because essentially from the time we take our first breath there is an expiration date connected to the time that we will take our last here on Earth. Different cultures and religi I'mons have handled the ideology of death wildly different.. some cultures chose to mummify their dead. Others have chosen to burn them to ashes. Sam has sent their dead off until the deep parts of the ocean never to return. Whatever the cultural or religious representation when it comes down to death there's one thing all religions and all cultures have in common in regards to death. Everyone on this planet alive today which is roughly 7 billion people in 125 years roughly 99.99% will not be here. That's a tough pill to swallow and it's hard to imagine 7 billion people gone and disappeared in a blink of an eye. So is there life after death? we'll talk about it more in a second.

Let's Take Em To Church

  • This past Saturday night a soul has gone on to another realm of existence within the authority for which God has designed for it to move into. My grandfather Hollis right is absent from his body so I can only imagine that he's present with the Lord. My grandfather was a me no soul and a lot of cases. But he came from the old school and as I talked to him and built their relationship with him I realize more and more that he was all bark and no bite. He loved his kids and grandkids dearly taught me a lot of things about history. I enjoyed some of those quote unquote fireside chats talking about the way things were when he lived in a time of good food good eats and a black man making it and working hard was a thing to truly be proud of. My grandmother died a couple years ago and in both cases they lived well beyond a 70 years promise to them. And although my grandfather was truly ready to go in the past couple months of his life as the throat cancer ate up his lungs and also ate into his spirit. The thought of him dying at an old age still didn't take the sting of death and the unanswered question. What will life after death be for him. Will he bring flowers and sunshine to my grandmother that saying welcome home welcome home my sweet baby. What a dance to the moonlight in a celestial stars and find themselves in love again. Will he even recognize my grandmother as she's more than likely transformed him to her youthful self I'm sure he would. What would life be for him after death? What are you sing in the choir and play the tambourine? I don't think so he didn't do it here on Earth. But I guess most poetically and the thing that matters most will God say ā€œwell done my good and faithful servant in you I am well pleased.ā€

Intro: this past couple of weeks well really that has 2 weeks I probably listen to Uncle Reece's album Bold backwards and forwards probably total maybe 10 times. Not realizing that this summer Marks the 10th anniversary of a hit making gospel stellar award-winning album. I can remember the day like yesterday sitting at his mother and father's home in Jacksonville,FL with our mutual friend Demetrius. His single ā€œuntil I pass outā€ was getting radio play all over the gospel radio stations of the day and even secular stations as well as it was building up at minimum as the artist known as Uncle Reece was to place of his mark on a new era of gospel music.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. It all started in a little town of Tallahassee Florida yep home of the Rattlers and the Florida State Seminoles. Me myself Uncle Reece Demetrius, Antareo and a few other brothers got together in Reese’home his two bedroom apartment at a time to talk about the love of God to worship and discuss things that pertained to young black men in our walk with Christ. It was a fascinating thing for me all of us were in our twenties and a young black male growing up in a foster care system and being adopted I had a lot of things that I personally did not want to share. But this small group of young black men full of the love of God gave me reason to share those things to be healed of some, while others are still struggling with to this day. Ask Maurice Hicks let these particular small group sessions really church at home I always saw him being as charismatic individual high energy high leadership and definitely anointed. His worship was for real.
  2. Uncle Reece tried out a few songs at a few churches local churches of course in Tallahassee and us his fellow brothers in arms with him to quite a bit of those churches. So we're talking about circa 2010-2011 Maybe at this time this is probably about 2 years before he blew up. And boy did he have the religious folks on his backs. Literally there was churches that bought his albums just to stump on them because they said that it was devil's music LOL. Mind you the whole time he was talking about Jesus but because they didn't understand neither did a conceptualize that you can rap to a beat about God they scorned him from the church. But I believe there was in that moment going to those churches with Maurice that he saw me as a true faithful brother something that I didn't really think that much of. I mean at the end of the day I'm I'm a Leo so most of us Leo's a loyal people. But he always talked about the one moment that I stood at that door asking requested I never moved kind of like when you think of when God commands an angel to stay in post and not to move until he commands. You know there is truth when the Bible says that to be done on having it it is on Earth. Either way that was a moment that Maurice saw me as not just a brother but someone he could depend on as he moved forward we're trying to get anybody to play his songs around town and beyond.

Intro: Nick Saban was a god to many at the University of Alabama. And to some he still is granted Nick Saban is a great coach matter of fact in excellent coach. He's won a ton of championships, help many of his players get drafted in the league and move on to big and greater things. But one of Nick saban's biggest players as a coach is the fact that he was an anti-player coach when NIL came around. For those that don't know what nil stands for it stands for name image likeness. Nick Saban was all for himself getting the bag. Would have there and half their paydays from the University of Alabama which by the way is a publicly funded University so essentially taxpayers in the state of Alabama what pain Nick saban's exorbitant salary. But what happens when a god, loses his grip on power?

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. I said this last year one of my YouTube shorts when it came down to Nick Saban and I'll say it again this guy is anti n i l name is likeness. But I can't really fault Nick Saban as the coach you really have to go back to the American system of doing things when it comes down to profiting off of the cheapest labor that you can find and making the greatest book off of those individuals I.e capitalism. Capitalism is at its core definition to capitalize on someone else's atrocities. And or having less than to make it sound prettier. It's the same reason why a company would pay a worker 10 to $12 an hour while they rake in $115 off that same worker or more of course. Nick Saban is no different. He and his team recruited players from all hoods mostly the black hoods that were impoverished that lived off of a pipe dream that one day they'll make the NFL. And granted a lot of his players did make the NFL but unfortunately only 1% of his players will have a career in NFL past 2 years. Don't believe me Google it and it's not just in Alabama thing it's overall in sports especially football.
  2. Nick Saban was the most anti-nil coach there was out there. She preached from the mountain tops how much she hate it the new deals that the NCAA allowed to be to be orchestrated. By the way just put yourself in the shoes of these players if somebody makes a video game put your image in there put your name in there put your likeness in there wouldn't you want to be compensated for it. By the way I believe this new deal that NCAA did with football by EA sports is a travesty they're paying the players $600 and give them a free game like what kind of BS payment is that. But I digress cuz a lot of you say hold it wasn't even paying them at all I did the math it came out to a whopping I believe 36 million dollar investment by EA sports they'll make that 36 million back within the first month of them releasing a new version of NCAA sports games.

Intro: less than 2 years ago the rapper known as Kanye West now AKA Ye was getting canceled because of his licit comments about the Jewish community. He not only made days provocative comments about sad community.. he decided to double down on his comments. He decided to have meetings with members of society that you can say are on the fringe. And he seem to go to podcasts after podcast media outlet after media outlet that would allow him to spew whatever he wanted to say. And for this he lost his billionaire status and a lot of sponsors in between that.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. The Grammy award-winning artist known as Kanye West is back with a number one selling album all over the world and a lot of people from a certain community are not too happy with that. His new album titled vultures is a collaboration album of sorts with ty Dolla sign being his main collaborator on just about all of his songs and an assortment of other artists. But the roll out to becoming number one did not come easy for Ye. Apple music dropped him for at least a short window of time. And it was also hard for him to be streamed on some of the other streaming platforms. Is this an agenda that was sought and failed by the powers that be. Or was this just Kanye being Kanye.
  2. I think Kanye was right everything that he said what happened to him by the most powerful people expanding beyond the music industry happened to him. This dude lost the millions of dollars lost his bank account or it was frozen with Goldman and sacks I believe lost tons of relationships with people all because of what he said about a certain group of people. Now I am no proponent of what Ye had said. And I think he did say quite a bit but there was a lot of Truth in some areas of what he said. But unfortunately sometimes the truth gets dwindled down with the delivery and oftentimes his delivery just did not rub a certain people the right way. He did a song some years ago how could one man have all his power I think he saw it.

Let's Take Em To Church

The world as we know it is a big hypocritical place just look at Gaza and Israel Ukraine and Russia. We cheer for those that we believe is the heroes and we look at blind side are those we think are the villains but as I usually like to tell people one man's hero can be another man's villain.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. America has a love affair with bothering black people. America is the police state that none of us ask for. I mean at this point freedom might as well be called selective people are free when you have high priced attorneys. And are not of the darker tone. The governor herself on him it said on MSNBC that mostly minorities ride a subway trains going to the lower wage paying jobs. So genius question number one who do you think is majorly going to be affected by these 750 guards and state troopers deep in these underground subway stations. Yep you got it minorities. This is stopping friends 3.0 1.0 started with disgraced criminal Rudy Giuliani. 2.0 is a cop lover's dream current mayor Eric Adams. And 3.0 is the governor that wears pants governor hutchel. Not one of them care about black people because if they did don't actually address the issues that stem to people creating criminal activities in the subway stations not by the enforcement of an extreme police state.
  2. New York City already has 36,000 police in the city and there's cameras all over the place I mean you can barely take a crap in New York City without a camera looking up your you know what. So when the governor says New York Governor by the way when she says we're going to add cameras to every subway station okay that's great but unfortunately cameras don't stop crying and neither does a person checking your bag if a criminal truly wants to be a criminal there's nothing that's going to stop a criminal for committing crime. By the way New York city mayor and New York and the New York State Governor are talking out of both Saturday next on one hand they're saying that crime is decreasing in the state of New York in particular New York City well on the other hand they're saying well there's a psychological measure of crime in the subways.
  3. As a black man in America can somebody please just get me a $100,000 which should be my reparation check maybe even more get me a ship and I'll take my happy black ass back to Africa well at least actually be my first time in Africa because I was born here in America so yeah let's get that part down right. I just get so sick and tired of seeing than Justice that are done against our people because that's what it is they're going to go after a few migrants that's been causing some trouble in the NYC but their favorite Boogeyman of all that this new thing is going to happen to with all of these troops being deployed in the city yeah black people.

Let's Take Em To Church

America loves to talk about places like Russia Ukraine and North Korea maybe that's because of all the media does in regards to the ass kissing of the United States government when it comes down to our own areas of propaganda. I'm not saying the United States is North Korea but we damn sure not too far from Russia.

Intro: It's the year 2024 and the headlines for 2024 are the wars in Ukraine the war is in Israel. The Immigration crisis, the newest Blockbuster movie Dune. The royals, Donald Trump, Joe Biden and oh wait I can't forget about the headline that was supposed to been forever deleted the year 2020. Yup it's 2024 and we're still talking about who's gay. So much for gender norms and equality. Here we go again talking about which black man is sleeping with who so well since you guys are talking about it I guess I got to talk about it.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. I'm not sure if being a gay black man in America is like taking that poison pill that you rather not take but you take it and everybody seem to come out of the light and shine you or something. But I guess that's kind of hard to describe because even when you have quote unquote consensual situations it's still rounds up to being the same thing. Coming out of your undercover cage and confessing to the world or the world confessing into the world without your knowledge of your mail on male activities is oftentimes brought with much chatter too much dismay. And according to the most recent Port by producer Laura that worked on Diddy’s newest album The Love album. He allegedly exposed as a lot of people. And to the credit of the 70 something on a page Court filing by Lil rod and his attorney one said individual by the name of meek Mill was allegedly one of those individuals involved. Sadly and curiously meek Mill has gone on a blitz of a press tour on Twitter in regards to these particular alleged claims that didn't explicitly said his name but when you put two and two together a Philly rapper that dated Nicki Minaj. Well you make your own conclusion.
  2. Meek Mill has literally gone to digital war with DJ academics and anybody that he claims will dispatch his name he's went as far as seeing all the things he does with females. I mean like the comedic recently said meek Mill doesn't give a good case of why he's quote on quote straight. But let's get back to the year 2024 why is this even a headline if he does like to poke his thing in a strange place. Why is it someone else's problem who you decide to sleep with why does it even matter. I'll tell you where it matters because I know a lot of black women have a lot of flamboyant gay black friends. They vehemently despise hearing that their niggq fucks with other dudes. They themselves will kiss on other females have a brothel with another female change clothes in front of another female but if a dude says he likes his ass getting touched oh he's gay.
  3. So here we are the year 2024 once again we thought that these gay rumors and gay jokes and gay references and anything referring to the alphabet community would not be a headline making moment. But unfortunately it is just that one more headline making moment one more reason why dudes decide to be DL. One more reason why baby mamas is getting cheated with a dudes homeboys. Is because when a black man in America has any kind of inclination or give off any whisk of being homosexual. Then this is the moment the whole world stops for him and not in a good way.

The sex tour volume 2 a short story by Michael D Beckford is Coming soon to Amazon and wherever you read your books…

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. Donald j Trump hasn't laid out any real policies for a Black America but Black America specifically Black Men in Black America are starting to look on at Trump as the answer for well I don't know… I guess the answer regards to the immigration crisis that has plundered City budgets and primarily Democratic cities and in places like New York City has created a hostile environment between regular citizens and immigrants.
  2. The make America great again candidate has basically proposed a zero policy when it comes down to immigration and or immigrants here in America that zero policy basically means he don't want a single soul entering into our borders illegally and or legally otherwise. This policy does resonate with black people particularly black men why because we see immigrants getting $1,000 a month credit cards luxury hotels first class treatment while many black Americans many black poor Americans are sitting on the street waiting for a program such as this so where did the city money come from all of a sudden to help those that aren't even taxpayers.
  3. The reason I believe that Trump's America's first policy will resonate with the black community is because the black community is just sick and tired of hearing the Democrats banter about what they're going to do for black people at the time of election season but then don't do a damn thing when it actually comes to policy. A lot of blacks still remember those checks that had Donald Trump's name on it from the coronavirus yes we know of course Congress had to approve it which was a majority Democratic Congress but those things are optics that most people aren't going to see what they see is and what they feel are two different things. Mini black Democrats especially younger black Democrats feel betrayed by the Democratic party and especially young Muslim Democrats feel especially trade betrayed by the bottom administrations policy to not put in place a ceasefire and to continue to milk out billions of dollars for Israel and Ukraine. So in the eyes of many black people they see the US government is able to just magically print billions of dollars for all these people and yet to repair and or give reparations to the very individuals that they hurt the most right here in this country which was the original sin of slavery.

Let's Take Em To Church

  • I'm not saying that Donald j Trump is going to be some savior of black people not at all the least Donald Trump has proven himself as a narcissist and self-centered individual that only cares about himself. But when you live in a republic because this is not a true democracy. We live in a republic with only two true options well unfortunately as we live with every election cycle you have to choose the better of the two evils. And right now A lot of people are looking at Trump as the better of the two evils even with his 90 something indictments and all the other gloriously bad things that we already know about Trump. Because in the eyes of many black males Donald j Trump is going to choose America first over the immigrants.

Intro: When it comes down to a loud mouth and majoring and grievance policies Donald Trump is not the only character that specializes in this. Jason freaking Whitlock has made his whole YouTube channel which is amply title fearless all about the three people he have grievances with I watched a bit of this episode so I know first hand that he is always talking about deion Sanders. He has issues with Stephen A Smith and he gripes about Shannon Sharpe.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. Jason Whitlock needs a real job and no I'm not talking about the kind that constantly slanders and slings prime Time coach prime Time deion Sanders name. No I'm talking about a job that actually has Jason Whitlock talking about sports for a change or maybe he should join the Christian broadcast network since he pumps Christianity out like Lil pump pumps out rap music. Exactly my thoughts, who the hell is Lil pump and since when did Jason Whitlock become this super uber Conservative Christian.
  2. Not a week goes by that Jason Whitlock for which Stephen A Smith called him a big fat you know what and one of his podcast episodes after Jason Whitlock came after him and regards to what Jason Whitlock describes as false information to Stephen A Smith's New York times bestselling book. Now I'm no big fan of Stephen A Smith I think he's also allowed mouth is trying to get his ratings but at the end of the day Jason Whitlock is just overboard with the amount of insults the amount of gravity that he puts towards these episodes but hey I have a YouTube channel too so if that's what he feels is this winning formula then I guess that's his winning formula is it a real job I don't think so.
  3. A lot of times when Jason Whitlock talks about Shannon Sharpe he usually phrases it with well I like what the guys are doing at the club Chase and The nightcap and all that good stuff but then he starts going on tangents and basically throwing dirt on Shannon's name saying something about Shannon Sharpe pretending to be the Malcolm x of the media and this dad in the third so he highlights so he tries to pump up you know throw up a little good thing to say about Shannon Sharpe but then he goes in and it goes just into vitro when it comes down to his hatred for Shannon sharp butt there is no one on this planet I believe cuz I'm not in the mind of Jason Whitlock but there's no one on this planet I believe that Jason would like hates more than coach gold chain wearing deion Sanders. And according to a recent 101 conversation that Jason Whitlock had with Christian rapper D1 Jason Whitlock says he goes hard on Coach prime because of the fact that coach primes confession of Christianity and putting up Christian quotes on Twitter. Whatever Jason whitlock's excuse for going so hard after these three black men maybe he needs to just shut up and talk about sports again.

Let's Take Em To Church

  • Your enemy is your enemy is my enemy of my friend. Jason Whitlock is playing a dangerous game of whack-a-mole. How many times can you talk about a person before that person has to respond back to him. The only problem is sometimes this type of visual that you have for an individual goals off of the online airwaves and into the streets.

Intro: There was a viral video or video that went viral last week of a black manager at a warehouse or whatever the job it was that doesn't really matter but at the end of the day a black manager that was falsely accused by one of his white employees of stealing a package what matter fact multiple packages. And not only was this black manager accused but in good ole’ Karen fashion the police were called.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. What was most disturbing about this video is that it highlighted black men bad white guy good. At least that was the acknowledgment when the cop showed up. Not only was this particular individual that accused this innocent black male to say the least of package stuff at his own place of business but the police were in kahoots with this particular individual that made this claim without doing a proper investigation. Now How many times have you heard this tape.
  2. So without the police department actually reviewing any video at least that's what it looks like according to the video that was released online without the police reviewing any particular video showing in fact that this manager did the crime that he was accused of they decided to put handcuffs behind his bag embarrass him and throw them behind the squad car either way. All based on a simple quote unquote hunch and or accusation by this white male Karen.
  3. What's amazing is the fact that this should have never happened because within 15 minutes of the conversation with the police department and a black man being accosted the package shows up. Yep you got that right the package that he was accused of stealing just didn't arrive on time. But the police being yeah slave patrol as they are couldn't help themselves to try to figure out some way to keep this black man locked up and throw him in jail instead of just apologizing to him and having them go on his way. They wanted to try to bring up something about he had a marijuana pen and try to throw some trumped-up charges on this particular blackmail manager because they had nothing else but embarrassment and shame of the fact that they didn't do any real police work and that starts with investigating. Time and time again you get these cops that show up on the side of white is right without doing any real investigation they see big tall black man he's big and bad let's throw away the key. All while working while black. And here's a kicker to the story this same black man lost his job at this particular company and did not a damn thing wrong he currently has a GoFundMe page to help so please donate to James Humphrey,GoFundMe.

Let's Take Em To Church

Nikki Haley and others love to scream that America is not a racist country while at the same time racism has never stopped in America. Black men are two times more likely to be locked up and in prison for the same crime as their white peers. Black men get harsher sentences then their white peers ever will doing the same crime. Total families and lives have been taken apart dismantled disrupted and downright destroyed because of America's racist criminal justice system you can hardly do anything in America while black without automatically being assumed and identified as a criminal and a perpetrator of a future crime.

It is without saying that Patrick mahomes number 15 of the Kansas City Chiefs is more than likely the number one quarterback and the national football League at this time. With the retirement of the goat Tom Brady just a few years ago from Tampa Bay. It looks like Patrick come home with three super bowl titles under his belt at only the age of 27 years old is well on his way to becoming the next goat of the NFL. At least for now he's a baby goat or maybe just a regular ass billy goat. Either way Patrick mahomes through adversity through a sorry what else I say mediocre season they had this year he and his teammates managed to pull off one of the greatest David versus Goliath battles to the playoffs beating my Baltimore Ravens beating Buffalo at home I mean just doing their damn thing and it's all because of yes that's right number 15 of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Let's Take Em To Church

In everything there is a season a time and a place for everything it is our destiny to understand when our season will blossom for us all. Each one of us are gifted by the very hands of God crafted and created to be the very best that God has destined us to be. Some are destined to sing some are destined to preach some are destined to play football. Whatever the destiny is grab Life by the horns and know that you only live once because if you understand the fact that we who are crowned by the hands of God having a state and destiny that is Kingdom. And it is through this righteous indignation that we understand that we can become a better man and woman for this nation for which we celebrate another day in our lives fulfilling the very thing that we love.

It's a travesty when you have a music industry that is glorifying demons left and right. It's like 2023 was the year that musicians really made demons cool. For those that don't know there's nothing cool about demons unless you are a bona fide Satanist. Demon worship in music used to be something that was kind of to the far left field of music it was kind of in the corner of their own I mean as well known that rock bands and artists such as Marilyn Manson devil and dabbled in devil worship and highlighted in their music but it wasn't a thing that was in a mainstream forefront like a mini aspects of music today.

Black athletes that date and tend to marry white woman is as old as the beginning of time. Well not quite the beginning of the time, I shall say because in America that time well let's just say that time was tainted and there was a time that black men could not even put in eye on a white woman and get caught, they would be caught with their lives. Black athletes that date and or marry white woman is a multibillion Dollar business. I'll tell you why in a few seconds.

Intro: Just last week US President Joe Biden authorized the US militaryto strike over 85 targets and Iraq and Syria. These targets were meant to disrupt the so-called Iran back militant groups who is the US military perceive to be the actors in the death of three US soldiers doing an apparent drone attack. Since the Israeli-Hamas war there's been over 165 targeted attacks on the US military by so-called Iran backed militia groups. But this was the first time that US military personnel were killed because of these actions.

My mother described to me a long time ago there is a cause and effect for everything. Before the October 7th attacks on innocent Israelis the Middle East was pretty calm and that speaks pretty lightly for the Middle East. And then after the brutal bombings of innocent Palestinian people with the IDF quest to get Hamas. It has upped the ante to all-out warfare in the Middle East because of proxy militaries and I ran themselves that is not happy with what is happening in Palestine.

So of course the United States being the de facto world Police and also Israeli’s close partner. It's right there in the thick of things during this time of war. And although a couple days ago it was Syria and Iraq that got bombed by the US government in retaliatory strikes. These two nations are knocking right at the border of Iran for which the Biden administration says it does not want to have a direct conflict with.

But I would like to take the time to use today's episode as an educational piece to what is happening to communities across America specifically black communities in Chicago and New York City when it comes down to the migrant crisis.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. Last year New York city mayor Eric Adams put out a staunch press release that budgets across New York City government was getting cut by roughly somewhere in a ballpark of five or more percent. It doesn't matter if your teacher firefighter or police officer The strain that the migrant crisis has had on New York City has taken his toll on what was once known as a sanctuary City for migrants. And resources that would have normally gone to say those american-born citizens have now been reallocated to those that are migrants. Now I have no dislike or hate for those that want better opportunities for themselves and their families no matter what country they come from but when it starts to come at the expense of my own people who pay taxes and are getting the short end of the stick it does put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
  2. The best example of that bad taste in my mouth is imagine you have a whole family at home and dad says hey there's these kids that across the street they need new shoes food and medicine so I'm going to take 70% of the medicine that's at our house and I'm going to go ahead and put that over to that other family that really needs it. Yes I know to those that are thinking it may sound extreme but this is exactly what it sounds like with this migrant crisis. It's not a crisis that was created by the migrants themselves. They are just crossing the border to seek a better life. But it is a crisis that's created by decades of congressional mishaps and mismanagement of the border and rule of law that is allowed for such a increase in border crossings and no true pathway that Republicans and Democrats can agree on.
  3. As much as I'm not a big fan of Texas governor Greg Abbott I must say this guy is has some geniuses working for him because at the end of the day he decided to turn this Texas in Arizona semi California border problem and make his border state problem in almost every state problem especially when it came down to the quote unquote sanctuary States which tend to be Democratic leaning cities. And now you have places like Chicago as well that's cutting back on spending that was supposed to be derived for citizens those at least the least amongst them AKA African Americans. And unfortunately those resources once again are going to the migrants. Schools Parks recreational facilities have been shut down in New York Chicago and other places due to this crisis. Everyday Americans in particular black Americans because that's where they tend to send a migrants are being pushed out of their everyday lives as a substitute to the migrants that have come across the border.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. The far right extremist of the Republican party which pretty much is the Republican party nowadays have found its new Boogeyman. And guess what it has to do of course again with black people which of course is the agenda to destroy our heritage our population anything in the memory of us by any means necessary. So what's the new plan DEI.
  2. After Charlie Kirk and the gang were successful at their anti critical race theory which was not taught in grade schools anywhere. Their anti-black campaigns which led to book banning campaigns and changes in curriculums across mostly Republican states when it came down to the teaching of black history now they're at it again when it comes down to diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) in the corporate world.
  3. Just the other day Charlie Kirk was on his podcast and made quite an outlander statement that he would not want to fly on a plane with a black pilot because he believes that more than likely they will be a d e i higher and not have the proper training and or assessment to fly that particular plane. So basically it's the classic you got the role because you were black not because you were well qualified. Well here's a proper fact for you Charlie the jerk Kirk. 96% of all pilots are white. So that means that the majority of crashes were by white pilots. Sorry Charlie. I know that the movie with star Denzel Washington in Flight was an outlier but I can guarantee you this I already know damn black pilots flying no commercial planes in real life for real for real.

Let’s Take Em To Church

Maybe Charlie Kirk is better suited at checking the qualifications of the white pilots or any pilot for that matter of any plane that he goes on because more than likely that pilot is not going to be black but more than likely also if that plane crashes that pilot is not going to be black.

Intro: Texas governor Greg Abbott is playing a dangerous game of forceful politics. He is playing a game against those lives that may deal with some of the barbed wire barriers to entry. But an even more dangerous game than that is the fact that the law and order Republican governor is directly disobeying an order from the highest court of the land when the supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling sided with the president Biden administration in regards to the removal of the board of barriers by the Abbott administration. These politically defying and charged ignorance to the rule of law will test both the United States federal government and it's quote unquote supreme authority over the border and beyond, and the Texas state government.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. Not only is Greg Abbott defying this Federal order but you have a case where approximately 23 Republican governors are also agreeing with Governor Greg Abbott of Texas basically going rogue. If any scholar worth their gold looks at the history of the civil war they will see that it's simply started with an obstruction of federal versus states rights obviously with the more of an exception of the fact that you had the South wanting to uphold slavery
  2. A couple Democratic governors and lawmakers are siding with Biden in regards to the supreme court order. So here you have a narrative of blue State versus Red State ie a bit of a civil war of words that can very much translate into a civil war of people. No I am no advocate of a civil war and I am currently in the state of Texas as of this recording and if such a thing were to break out I will be trying to get the hell out of Texas and go to the north. By the way that's for another conversation LOL.
  3. And because of the fact that I am here in the state of Texas I do see firsthand some of a reflection of the border crisis no I'm Houston Texas where I currently reside is not a border City but you can see the climax of immigration hands down here in Houston and of course many other cities in Texas. So I do agree with Governor Greg Abbott that there must be some sort of barrier and or change to reflect this crisis at the border. But I do not agree with his blatant disrespect of biting and a majority Republican supreme Court that ruled against his initiatives. And to put the icing on the cake he is using Texas national guards which are in fact a part of the US military to do this dirty work and to repel border agents from doing their work which is a federal government agency.

Let’s Take Em To Church

What's happening at the border is a symptom of a larger trend of what's happening here in the United States. Republicans and those that are anti-black holler all the time about being anti-woke. But I must tell anyone that's listening to this podcast and are watching wherever you're watching that you need to wake the hell up. The Roman empire fell from within. There are cracks and snares here in the United States that are growing wider then a crumbling bridge. From the US trillion dollar debt to this migration that is shutting down democratic cities. Wake the hell up people.

Intro: Lamar Jackson is one of the hottest quarterbacks in the national football League today. And he's been doing his damn thing for the six years he has been in the league.. He has an unpackable record against NFC teams and a great work at overall even against his AFC rivals. Yes I know it was an upset loss against the Kansas City Chiefs but hey it's the Kansas City Chiefs. But all in all Lamar Jackson has proven himself worthy as an MVP playing quarterback to be featured on at least two to three nationally televised commercials. He is a dynamic player, he is a generational player and he knows how to win football games.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…

  1. I've been watching football all season long primarily the Baltimore Ravens because yes I like Lamar Jackson and I am proud of what the Baltimore Ravens have accomplished this season I've seen them do some amazing things this year. But you know what else I got to see all season long even when I wasn't actually watching this individuals games good old Patrick mahomes.
  2. Yes Patrick mahomes has two super bowls to his name a ton of AFC championship game wins and so on and so forth but Patrick mahomes is not the only quarterback that is featured in prime time television spots while yet Jackson is missing. Justin Herbert is also selling subs yet he hasn't had any type of major wins to his name. Definitely has not acquired the coveted MVP title either. And which there's a strong likelihood that Lamar Jackson is going to win his second MVP this year. I see Joe boro in primetime spots, Travis Kelsey share the spotlight with Patrick mahomes and in his own commercials. The quarterback for the Buffalo bills Josh Allen has been pushing DirecTV commercials and Kirk cousins one of the anomalies of the NFL wants us all to eat fried chicken.
  3. When Baker Mayfield was the quarterback of the Cleveland browns this dude was featured in a slew of commercials without even doing much of anything it was all by namesake or what they believe he can do but he was a disaster in Cleveland. He won some games but he's definitely not as great as Lamar Jackson. So this makes me to beg the question what's with these major television sponsors and I'm going to name them Subway, State farm, Verizon wireless, DirecTV, KFC, Experian and more. What's with these big time brands not reserving a spot for a big time player like Lamar Jackson. All of these brands I just mentioned features quarterbacks and our top athletes in the national football League right now. So what is with the blackout on Lamar Jackson from national television money because at the end of day that's what it comes down to.

Let’s Take Em To Church

Lamar Jackson is as dynamic as a player as you can find. From the moment he was selected as a player in the national football League you had rumors that teams wanted him to convert to a running back or receiver anything except being a quarterback that he is.

  1. The United States of America has always been a racist country and from the looks of it it will continue to be. So it's very unfortunate that my 8 year old daughter will have to experience this sooner than later.
  2. How can you not call a place that slaughtered near to extinction a people that was here before we were and justify this slaughter by calling the said people savages and all sorts of names. This nation was founded on this savagery for which we call Thanksgiving.
  3. Nikki Haley is surely grasping for straws when she makes such an absurd comment especially considering that Nikki is not her birth first name, Nimrada is. She is pandering clearly to the lowest individuals here in America to try to win votes. Well I got bad news for you Nikki Nimrada Haley, you have a steep hill to climb in order to get those votes from Trump. And aren't you the one that as governor of South Carolina took down the Confederate flag. Hmm…

Some politicians literally talk out of the side of their necks. You can't trust someone that changes their story on an hourly basis. America has always been a brutal slave holding racist rapist country. Raped our women, stole our inventions and bombed the hell out of Tuskegee. We as Black America will never forget that America is a racist country.

Intro: Diddy Sean Puffy Combs and now the artist who calls himself Love wasn't some deep hot water when we all know about the Cassie situation the end of 2023 brought on a slew of sexual assault allegations. Of course that Cassie case was shut down quickly with approximately a $30 million dollar bag paid out by Diddy. And with that stroke of the check all the rumors started heating up and the internet has been on fire ever since even into 2024.

  1. Diddy represents sort of a kamikaze when it comes down to the 90s and 2000s culture of and maybe even before that of course but we talk about a culture where sexual advances for music deals was the norm of the day. I mean just looking at popular MTV shows back in the day and if you even see the host of particular shows having heavy sexual driven content.
  2. Diddy is not the symptom of the problem he is just the cold that the media can't seem to get rid of her. Now all of these particular allegations are unleaded because DD himself and the court of law has not found him guilty of anything. But as a room in Mill has it quarter public opinion has canceled Diddy three times over.
  3. We saw a bit of a similar playbook which I hate to make the comparison but you never know with Robert Kelly, Bill Cosby, Jonathan Majors. Although major situation was not a matter of sexual allegations it's still plays to the fact that so many black men black prominent men have fallen one way or the other. Even TD Jakes name has crossed paths because TD Jakes for the past few years has been attending the parties and Diddy has attended his church.

Let’s Take Em To Church

There seems to be a sort of fetish to put down strong positive black men. My prayers are with the true victims who could have been victimized by any Man in power. But it just seems to be a special urge for the media and others to take down another powerful black man.

I am thrilled that this book banning, culture warrior has dropped out of the race. Because no Mr Desantis, the US astoundingly rejects the policies that you have put into place for Florida. The US government will not be the place where so-called woke goes to die. Only your election campaign.

  1. Ron the Con is astoundingly bad for Florida. His policies lean too far right. As he has a virtual supermajority of Republicans in Tallahassee. He has passed just about every single law that he is imagined with no Republican with the balls to contest his attacks on blacks, gays on our education system.
  2. I'm not saying that Donald Trump is any better than DeSantis. But I am saying I would prefer Trump over to Santa's because at least with Trump already know what we are going to get. Desantis is like a train out of hell ready to derail. He is a weak-minded man with super dictator like qualities.
  3. Desantis is bad for Florida and would be bad for our nation. Thank the heavens he's out of the race.

Saturday October 7th 2023. Is the date that some scholars are marking the worst date in Jewish history since the Holocaust. Some pundits are even comparing this date that the Hamas fighters decided to declare in all-out assault on Israel as Israel's quote unquote 9-1-1. Which many of us of course remember this date and each subsequent year thereafter as a data changed America security.

A lot happened after 9/11 here in the United States of America the department of Homeland security was formed. The TSA which operates in every airport in the US was formed. The very controversial Patriot act was written and put into law by Congress. And then of course the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for which the United States taxpayer has spent trillions of dollars to what gain. The Biden administration left Afghanistan during the first term of his administration. As a US soldiers exited Afghanistan looking like kids that just lost a soccer match so mommy's not going to give any ice cream.

The point of the matter is for all the technology advances for all of the might of the mighty United States of America we never could fully succeed at fighting this one agenda and that agenda is called an ideology. You can call it terrorism, barbarianism. Whatever funky name gets you off. But the fact of the matter is we've seen this movie before and what Israel decides to do from the atrocities of course that is taking place on their own soul will be determining Factor of whether they're continue to fight this endless war against the Palestinian people. Well finally decide to leave the Palestinian people the hell alone give them back their particular land grant the Palestinian people their statehood both Israel and the international community and move on with your day.

Now of course we've all seen the atrocities that were taking place on this Saturday October 7th 2023 day from the Hamas organization inside of Palestine. From kidnapping to killing shooting rockets everything anything imaginable that's despicable the organization known as Hamas had done. But 4 days into this fight we also see a crucial element that people are missing. That element is the fact that Israel has lost a full-blown campaign air strikes and all that is not just targeting Hamas and military personnel but they're literally placing bombs and a middle of a heavily populated city that will do nothing but have unnecessary casualties of war i e women children and men that have nothing to do with what happened Saturday October 7th 2023.

The NCAA women's basketball tournament. Ended with a history making moment. History in the fact that it was the highest rated NCAA women's basketball tournament in collegiate history and also LSU women's basketball team for the first time won the national championship game. Now with all of that greatness that went on you would think that the headlines from this weekend's matchups would be dominated by this particular news. Unfortunately as we all know by now this is further from the truth. Instead we have a case of the amnesia from far right wing pundits and individuals that desire to call Angel Reese a thug an idiot ghetto everything in the book except a nigger. Because of the fact that she decides to hold up a particular hand gesture well known by the great wrestler now retired and doing movies John Cena.

  1. Sports has always demonstrated aside of America a nasty side of America that no one wants to talk about.

I'm happy that some of the OG's in our community AKA Shaq, Samuel L Jackson and even Stephen A Smith quickly came to the defense of Angel Reese.

  1. What happened on the basketball court gives us a national image of what happens in the judicial system. White person commits a crime they get a pass or less harmful sentence. Black person commits the same crime they get jail time ostracized and treated as an outcast.
  2. Why would Jill Biden ever fix her mouth to say that both teams should be invited to the White House?

The first Lady Joe Biden sat at the actual championship game Saw the entire game Saw the blowout that took place with LSU against Iowa's women's basketball team and decided you know what I want both teams to come visit the White House. Historically this does not make sense. And as Angel recently mentioned in an interview if it was the other way around a majority black teen loses to a majority white team AKA LSU the majority black team and Iowa the majority white team more than likely the first lady I'm not going to put words in my mouth but more than likely the first Lady will not even giving out a second thought to invite LSU to the White House to share in their championship winning game.

Finally I am taking the opportunity to address an issue with the gross negligence and deception that takes place with these Utah base direct sales companies. Companies for which I worked for within the past 7 years. Personally been in their doors and have been treated unfairly and I'm going to name every last one of them. Now I'm I didn't work for every single Utah direct sales company but when you start to realize it they pretty much are all the same. They sleep in the same beds with each other and find ways to screw over their independent contractors oh I mean employees. Of course this is not unique to Utah based companies companies have found a way to capitalize and screw employees since the time of slavery but we all know of course that wasn't voluntary. But what matters most in this story is the fact that these companies which are all centrally located in Utah are in the direct sales business with branches all throughout the United States.

Black Facts

Indentured servitude is a form of labor in which a person is contracted to work without salary for a specific number of years. The contract, called an "indenture", may be entered "voluntarily" for purported eventual compensation or debt repayment, or it may be imposed as a judicial punishment. Historically, it has been used to pay for apprenticeships, typically when an apprentice agreed to work for free for a master tradesman to learn a trade (similar to a modern internship but for a fixed length of time, usually seven years or less). Later it was also used as a way for a person to pay the cost of transportation to colonies in the Americas.

Like any loan, an indenture could be sold; most employers had to depend on middlemen to recruit and transport the workers so indentures (indentured workers) were commonly bought and sold when they arrived at their destinations. Like prices of slaves, their price went up or down depending on supply and demand. When the indenture (loan) was paid off, the worker was free. Sometimes they might be given a plot of land.

Indentured workers could usually marry, move about locally as long as the work got done, read whatever they wanted, and take classes.

Let’s Take Em To Church

It's time out for Big Time Utah based corporations or any corporations for that matter to continue to take advantage of the poor and less than in terms of job placement job skills in advancement. Time out from them praying on blacks and minorities to fulfill their contracts and bottom line. Dear Lord God I pray that of anyone is currently working for a company wherever it may be that is doing them unjustly and they feel like there is no way out I pray that you get them out of that bondage that has kept them afraid.

R& B crooner and popular singer YK Osiris allegedly slept with another male according to his Baby Mama. The internet has gone wild over these accusations and especially those that ascribe to the heterosexual community.

  1. Why are heterosexual black males worried about the affairs of homosexual black males.

There's been a couple of YouTube channels for which I'm not going to directly comment on and regards to this YK Osiris situation. Let's just say one of the YouTubers was smoking a blunt carrying on about being homosexual in the industry and generally ostracizes this young man's character based upon whatever his alleged actions may or may not be. How many times will the world realized that it is not matter who you decide to sleep with if you want to go sleep with a donkey go have at it. And you're honestly making ass out of yourself and a donkey LOL no pun intended. But the point of the matter is there's too many DL download dudes on YouTube whether they have their own channels or in the comment section that seems to be more worked up about whether or not YK Osiris is gay versus why is the black community not in control of the music industry itself. Yeah we make a lot of music but we don't own shit. So let that be your talking points.

  1. Their is a Culture of blacks killing their own not to be outed. The trend of Transsexual men being killed was on an uptick in 2021-2022.

A few years ago when I was in college or in high school I don't remember it was a long time ago there's an author by the name of JL King that wrote a book about Downlow Men. The book became a best-selling sensation this author was interviewed by Oprah himself it was a very wild topic for months in the media and the black community. Change between black male heterosexual andl homosexual relationships. One talks about the other and the other despises the one that talks about them. And with these deaths of transsexual men it seems as if it's only gotten worse. But there is a silver lining. That silver lining is the curious black male. Who has the baby mama, has money, has opportunities and decides to trend on both sides of the fence. That silver lining may just be the face of a YK Osiris allegedly. I don't know. But what I do know is y'all need to leave that man alone and I pray for his mental health above all.

  1. Leave people to do whatever they feel to do in their bedrooms and let God be their judge. Not you.

If you're not doing no funny business in your bedroom and why are you worrying about whatever somebody else's business is doing in theirs. Or maybe you my heterosexual brotha have some secrets in the close and habits that you cannot express.

It's official. Ukraine has officially been at war with Russia for one year. A war of which they did not ask for. An invasion unprovoked put on by President Putin himself. So to Mark the one year anniversary although in my opinion it's not quite the celebration.

  1. Ukraine seems to get all the benefits with no real sacrifice.
  2. Our dollars funds everyone else's wars while our city's crumbles and homelessness is on an uptick right here in America.
  3. Ukrainians have not been friends to black people.

The Roman empire is a prime example of our empires can crumble from within. The United States has paid Russian roulette long enough with our money. And each year we as taxpayers are taking the bullet all the way down to $31 trillion dollars in debt. We must first change our domestic policy before we continue to be the world Police in our foreign policy. Too many souls in our own Nation needs us. Which does not mean any disrespect to other nations. But my best friend always said you have to take care of home first before you can go and help anyone else.

I watched The exclusive 6 minutes and 16 second interview of NBA youngboy posted by billboard. For those of you that don't know NBA youngboy is a very popular rapper amongst both generation z millennials and anyone else with a heartbeat that loves rap music. He is widely known as The most known unknown rapper around.
1. Are rap lyrics more dangerous than a gun? That's a good question and as an artist myself I tend to always side on the side of artistry especially since I'm a fictional writer and not all of my writing is above PG-13. What I would say is this the Bible says that life and death is in the power of the tongue.

  1. It's easy to blame the artist when the symptom wasn't created by us? Cities and counties all over the country are using rap lyrics to prosecute rappers for murder charges and other things beyond reason.

  2. It takes a young boy to teach an old man. The Bible says that wisdom comes from the mouth of a babe. I believe that based on NBA young boys interview that it is showing both the humanity and this particular individual and a low-key form of guilt for some of the work that he's put out there.

Artificial intelligence seems to be today's sexy topic. Everyone wants to talk about chat GPT and a lot of individuals look at AI as this cool technology to use for whatever and whenever we need it. But I've been asked to most millennials and Gen z and some Xers.

  1. Can Artificial Intelligence and Robots discriminate?

Hell yeah it can. Ai and robots are programmed by his maker and unfortunately those that are doing the programming are inherently exposed to anti-black propaganda.

  1. Tens of thousands of jobs will be lost to Ai in the service industry. These are jobs that are typically held by whites, blacks and Hispanics. Which are also usually lower wage jobs.
  2. White collar workers are not immune to AI either.

Jobs such as copywriting, telemarketing, certain types of sales professions will all vanish under The roof of AI. These jobs typically pay $40-70k or better. AI is a necessarily a new technology we've known about AI since the dawn of the Terminator movies because as my parents have always said television tells a vision. But in 2023 with chat GPT AI has just gotten a whole lot smarter than what it was in the '80s.

Black Facts

Did you know?

The most common ethnicity of service workers is White (60.6%), followed by Hispanic or Latino (15.2%), Black or African American (14.5%) and Asian (6.2%).

Let’s Take Em To Church

We as black Americans are going to have to create businesses and move in different directions that can outsmart and outpace AI. Because quite frankly we were built by God while artificial intelligence was built by man.

Whoopi Goldberg recently made some comments on The View. A widely watched television show that is broadcast and produced on the ABC Network. Seriously made some comments in regards to police brutality and she made a comparison when it comes down to what the black community deals with and the white community deals with and the hopes that the white community can see and or feel the pain of frustration that a black community deals with every time we see a video of a black person being violated and or killed by the hands of the state sponsored police.

  1. (3:23) The media is partly to blame for the Savageness imposed against black people by the state.
  2. (5:13)I didn't find anything wrong with what Whoopi Goldberg said.
  3. (6:23) Another young black male in the same month of January in Austin Texas was murdered by police. This video was released on the same day as the Tyre Nichols video.

Black Facts

Did you know?

In 2022, police killed at least 1,192 people, the highest number ever recorded, according to the Mapping Police Violence database. A hundred of those people were unarmed. Black people were three times more likely than white people to be killed, although they were 1.3 times more likely to be unarmed.

Everyone can point the finger at the young black male victim or female in some cases of course. Everyone can say he didn't comply, everyone can say he or she didn't have the registration ready at the moment the officer gave the order. Everyone can say he wasn't being obedient enough. But when it comes down to their child being murdered at the hands of the police. What would they say?

On this first day of Black History month February 2023. We have come to find out the governor Ron DeSantis aka Desatan wants to ban not only AP African American courses in high school but he wants to ban any kind of inclusive conversations in college state-run institutions throughout the state of Florida. This Florida governor is clearly out of his mind.

Black Facts

Did you know?

Lawrence Douglas Wilder (1931- ) was the first African American in the United States to be elected governor of a state. A veteran of the Korean War, he was a lawyer by profession, and he was the first black member of the Senate of Virginia in the twentieth century.

Let’s Take Em To Church

As a long time Florida resident I pray to God that the people of Florida can recall this governor. I pray that the Democratic party or whoever thinks that they will gain favor with black people. I pray that they can recall this governor and get him out of office. He is dangerous for Florida and very dangerous for America.

Gun violence takes a daily toll in California, but the brutality, scale and pace of the past week has felt different. In the course of just eight days, at least 25 people were killed in four separate mass shootings, defined as any shooting in which at least four people are injured.

Older suspects in California shootings defy typical mass shooter profile

The killings – which cut across a big city, a placid Los Angeles suburb, and two small farming towns – have left residents shaken, exhausted and afraid, and renewed calls for some kind of fundamental change.

  1. Let's Talk About Asian on Asian Crime
  2. No Black or White Body To Blame this time.
  3. Stop Asian Hate is more about symbolism, than real change. Thoughts and prayers are with the victims.

Black Facts

Did you know?

It was not an isolated incident. Between March 19 and December 31, 2020, there were more than 2,808 ā€œfirsthand accounts of anti-Asian hate,ā€ according to a report by Stop AAPI Hate, an organization that has been tracking reports on anti-Asian violence — a 150 percent rise since 2019. From being barred from establishments to being spat or coughed on, Asian Americans have reported physical and verbal harassment throughout the pandemic, as they’ve been used as a xenophobic scapegoat for the spread of a virus that originated in China.

As cited from www.vox.com

Let’s Take Em To Church

Whether you're an Asian, black, brown or purple we are all God's people and must find a way to live with each other in harmony and peace love and self-respect.

  1. Legal Gangs in Blue
  2. Black Face No Mercy
  3. If our own can't see us who will.

Black Facts

Did you know?

1867: African-American police officers are appointed to the police department in the Selma, Alabama; they would be followed in 1868 by officers in Jackson, Florida, and in 1870 by officers in Houston and Galveston, Texas.

1870: New Orleans, Louisiana has 177 African-American officers, and three of five police board members were African American.

April 12, 1870: Officer William Johnson of Jacksonville, Florida becomes the first recognized African-American police officer killed in the line of duty.

Let’s Take Em To Church

The Bible says that we fight not against flesh and blood but against spiritual municipalities in our places. I believe that these five officers were possessed by some sort of demonic presence in order for them to inflict that type of hurt on essentially their own flesh and blood. They may wear a blue vest and silver badge. But they believe red and look black just like me.

There is no way in the world that you can have equal justice under the color of law. When you have two systems of Justice quote on quote. Fighting for their own ulterior motives . One system prides itself on locking up newly registered slaves. The other system does all that it can with Big Time budgets to make sure their clients do not see the same faith as the other system that is fighting to persecute them. And of course as we all know Justice is inherently biased. Because although the figure of Justice is blind by all accounts. It can still hear and listen to the gravity of a nation that is failed a particular people day in and day out. Welcome to another episode of 5 minutes with Mike where White people have private attorneys and black people have public defenders.

  1. Black Bodies White Power

There was a distinct time in America where slavery particularly Shadow slavery here in these United States of America was not considered a crime to own another human being.

2. White Kid Gets 2 months. Black kid gets 3 years.

America's judicial system has been rotten from the onset. There is barely any justice when it comes down to police brutality.

3. No one cares until they are personally affected.

Unfortunately right now for a lot of the old heads that may be listening to this podcast and on YouTube a lot of them are blaming rap music for all of the black communities woes. And of course in my mind this could not be furthest from the truth.

Black Facts

Did you know?

Thurgood Marshall (July 2, 1908 – January 24, 1993) was an American civil rights lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1967 until 1991. He was the Supreme Court's first African-American justice. Prior to his judicial service, he was an attorney who fought for civil rights, leading the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Marshall coordinated the assault on racial segregation in schools. He won 29 of the 32 civil rights cases he argued before the Supreme Court, culminating in the Court's landmark 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education,

Let’s Take Em To Church

The greatest crime that takes place in America every day is a corrupt legal system. A system that prides itself on locking up fresh black bodies. While giving well to do and even poor white people a pass.

This is a topic that white people love to hate. And black people have strong mixed feelings in regards to this topic. I'll keep it simple at least for now. Pay the damn people the money that you owe them.

  1. Black Bodies White Power

Once again this is my third episode in a row where my first segment has to deal with black bodies white power. We all know unless you're living in Florida right now under the auspice of the Dastan AKA Ron DeSantis.

2. It's because I'm Black

There is only one reason that I can imagine that America does not want to pay this generation that a descendants of slaves for the atrocities that there people have put upon us we who built this land and Nation to be what it is today.

3. Reparations as a Base Payment plus royatiles from institutions that stole our Patents and culture in perpetuity.

I believe that reparations need to be a minimum base payment from both the federal government and the States was not only enacted slavery and profited very well off of it but also the states and businesses that oppressed black entrepreneurship black home ownership anything that was good for black people in order to rise and succeed in America.

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know?

Reparations is the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.

Let’s Take Em To Church

No One believes that anyone should have to work for free. But when this nation literally billed billions of hours of free labor off the backs of millions of slaves. They begin to bat an eye when the payment is due.

Body cam footage reveals shocking moment police threaten to shoot unarmed L.A. rapper during traffic stop: 'You put this car in drive, you're getting one right to the chest'Rapper Feezy Lebron said he was sitting in his vehicle in Los Angeles on December 31 trying to make a phone call when two deputies approached. Black Facts āœŠšŸæ Did you know? Rodney Glen King (April 2, 1965 – June 17, 2012) was an African American man who was a victim of police brutality. On March 3, 1991, he was beaten by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers during his arrest after a pursuit for driving while intoxicated on the I-210. An uninvolved individual, George Holliday, filmed the incident from his nearby balcony and sent the footage to local news station KTLA.[2] The footage showed an unarmed King on the ground being beaten after initially evading arrest. The incident was covered by news media around the world and caused a public furor.*As cited by wikipedia.com Let’s Take Em To Church Policing in America is an embarrassment for what real policing can truly be. If you go to most industrialized nations. They do not deal with the tenure of bad apples that exist here in America. We live here in a police state. We are over policed, over militarized under educated and underfunded where program's matter most. This country has a third of China's population but locks up 100% more people than them.

  1. Black Bodies White PowerĀ I also was a former football player from the time of my youth in elementary School playing Pop Warner football up until my senior year in high school. 2. Concussion CountryThe NFL this year has been Roth with players that have had concussions. Tua Tungaloa of the Miami dolphins is one of those players. 3. Turf wars Many of the players have complained about playing on turf and not natural grass when it comes down to playing football. Black Facts āœŠšŸæ Did you know? 191 men have served as NFL head coaches, but only 24 (about 13 percent) have been African American. And the numbers are lower today than they were several years ago.Let’s Take Em To Church Now I'm not saying that we need to ban professional football college sports etc. Although I have my beef with college sports that I'll talk about in another episode (lol). I love watching football especially the NFL players. I played football in my entire youth and it gives me a connection to the sport that I can no longer receive as a former player. But I believe that players outside of just a contract should be compensated in other ways for putting their bodies on the line. If an NFL player has played in the NFL for two full seasons they should automatically receive compensation for the rest of their lives.

1. Bishop Lamor Whitehead aka the Bling Bishop was robbed earlier this summer. Turns out according to an FBI investigation he allegedly was robbing his own church folks of thousands of dollars.

2. I grew Up in Church.

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a Christian. I am a believer of God and Jesus Christ. I have had the opportunity to be a part of the seventh-day Adventist when I was a young kid through elementary School.

3. The church has bills too

Sometimes I think that people really do take that non-profit designation of a church to heart. Like literally just because they are nonprofit doesn't mean they don't have bills to pay.

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know?

The First African Baptist Church of Savannah, Georgia, began in 1777. This is said to be the oldest Black church in North America. Originally called the First Colored Church, the pastoral life of George Leile's preaching is tied to its beginning.

Let’s Take Em To Church

Bishop Whitehead aka the Bling Bishop unfortunately put a black eye on the black church. There's a crowd of onlookers that is saying I told you so. These are the individuals that will always find an excuse as to why their butt does not need to be in a seat in the pew or paying attention online to a pastor that potentially can save their life. Of course I'm not here to excuse his actions it is totally out of line and out of character for what most black pastors and bishops can be.

About two to three years ago I had the privilege to work in Indiana. I worked in the Big bend area near Notre Dame to be exact.

3. Is dating outside your race harmful to your community?

I have to say an astounding yes. Dating outside of your race can be harmful to your community. Not only is it biblical but for a lot of us is also practical.

  1. Karens Are Dangerous

Karen's and Becky's are nothing new to American culture. Black people in America have always had to contest with the crying white woman syndrome. Countless innocent black men have died from false accusations by Karen's.

2. Karen's Have Gone wild on Social Media.

It is clear now with the Advent of the camera phone and everybody recording everybody for whatever, that Karen's have gone wild on social media. I myself have watched tons of videos on Karen's the shows like indisputable with Dr Richard Richey.

3. There needs to be tougher penalties for filing false 911 calls.

Karen's over the past 2 years have made headline news a number of times.

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know?

Emmett Louis Till was a 14-year-old African American boy who was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after being accused of offending a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, in her family's grocery store

Let’s Take Em To Church

The Culture of Karen-ism is a mean nasty culture rooted deeply in white supremacy and white exceptionalism. Black people and people of all races and creeds just want to live their lives. Not be falsely accused of a crime they didn't commit, not be stalked by Karen's in the grocery store. Not being asked for their ID by random Karen or if they live in a certain neighborhood that they don't feel they belong in. If you are a Karen or know someone that is a Karen please stop the culture of Karen-ism.

The state of Black America today is full of promise ingenuity, innovation and a culture that is built on continuous beating of the odds.

  1. The Dumbest, Scandalous Politician I’ve Witnessed

Herschel dam Walker is by far one of the dumbest politicians I've ever witnessed in my adult life. And I've been an adult now for a few years. I've never seen a politician that can't quite enunciate his words. Never seen a politician drag on about vampires werewolves and whatever the hell he was trying to say.

2. Black Face, White Agenda

The Georgia Republican party decided the day wanted to find any old negro that can go against of course Raphael Warnock who was also a black preacher from Georgia who currently preaches at the historic church for which Martin Luther King himself also preached Ebenezer Baptist Church.

3. Georgia Runoffs

As the Georgia run up so winding down it would be asinine for the people of Georgia to vote for such a loser in Herschel Walker.

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know?

Joseph Rainey became the first African American representative in 1870. He navigated a unique path from slave to citizenship to becoming a US Representative.

  1. Who are the Hebrew Israelites?

To better answer this question I decided to dive deep on one of their websites controlled by the Hebrew Israelites. I myself am not a Hebrew Israelite at least I do not identify as such. But I can agree with some of their doctrine and of course there's some doctrine that I disagree with.

2. Why are they Such a Hated Group?

Because of the fact that I went to an HBCU. FAMU you to be exact. I had both the fortunes and misfortunes of pulling up on some Black Hebrew Israelites.

  1. Are they truly the Original Jews?

I believe in order to answer this question you would have to look at ancestral history and truly read the Bible to understand the plight of the Hebrew Israelites.

This information was taken from haitianisraelites.weebly.com/25-beliefs-of-the-hebrew-israelites.html*

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know? Black slaves played a major, though unwilling and generally unrewarded, role in laying the economic foundations of the United States—especially in the South. Blacks also played a leading role in the development of Southern speech, folklore, music, dancing, and food, blending the cultural traits of their African homelands with those of Europe.

  1. Lamar Jakson Didn't Mince Words in His Tweet

On this past Sunday the Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback Lamar Jackson was not feeling good after a terrible loss to a terrible team in the Jacksonville Jaguars.

2. Imagine Having A Bad Day

So imagine having a bad day from work school whatever it is that you do and someone makes a comment that surely balls your blood what would be your reaction?

3. Just Pay The Man

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know?

Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr, is widely recognised as one of the most significant athletes of the 20th century and the greatest boxer of all time. Nicknamed ā€˜The Greatest’ or the ā€˜G.O.A.T.’ (Greatest Of All Time) for his athletic feats, Ali also didn’t shy away from fighting for racial justice in America outside of the ring.

Though best remembered for his boxing and anti-war activism, Ali was also a talented poet who incorporated his artistic endeavours into his athletic pursuits, and later campaigned for rights for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

  • Let’s Take Em To Church

No one player can win or lose a football game it takes an entire team effort. But based upon what the market says in regards to high caliber quarterbacks like a Lamar Jackson he is definitely worth his due pay. What that pay should be? Well I don't know I'm not the one right in the checks but I will say this. If he's making less than $40 million a year and does not get at least $180 million dollars guaranteed as a high caliber MVP playing quarterback then I'll have to call foul to the Baltimore Ravens.

Did you know?

Black Wall Street, former byname of the Greenwood neighbourhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where in the early 20th century African Americans had created a self-sufficient prosperous business district.

  • Let’s Take Em To Church

I am one to believe that integration has been both a blessing and a curse for black people. The blessing is the fact that we can see more measures of equality when it comes down to being able to sit in front of a bus or use a water fountain or a pool. The curse has been the fact that we have in less than 60 years relied on others to provide economic businesses for us to thrive. There was once strong black private communities we bought black, we lived black and we helped each other out and were even taught by our own people. In less than 60 years all of that changed.

1. The Media and ADL Buck Broke Him

2. Shameful The Power of One Community Controlling the resources, wealth and manhood of another.

3. I salute Kyrie but am disappointed at the same time.

Black Facts āœŠšŸæ

Did you know? William Tucker, son of indentured servants from Great Britain, was the first recorded African child to be born in the colonies in 1624. Vermont was the first colony to ban slavery in 1777. In the 1770s, a Quaker named Anthony Benezet created the first school for African American children.

  • Let’s Take Em To Church

The Bible says that we fight not against flesh and blood but against spiritual municipalities in high places. I believe that the issue with Kyrie Irving has ignited something within the black community that will not be extinguished. It is an Awakening of sorts. And now it's time for us to truly buy black, own black and take back our communities.

This episode of 5 minutes is Mike it's sponsored by 'li'l boy. A dramatically different short story that speaks to the heart strings of young people and adults in today's America it is available now for pre-order on amazon.com written by Michael D Beckford.

  1. Ahmaud Aubrey was a victim of racial profiling

Is there brother I'm at Aubrey was killed cold-blooded in Brunswick Georgia trying to defend himself. These white vigilantes killed him in the process of what they calling a quote unquote citizens arrest. His brother did not commit a crime at the very least he trespassed on a property that wasn't even fully constructed yet which as we all know trespassing is a minor offense he's not commit a burglary that was no violent crime involved and this should have never ever have happened to this young man. Gone too soon as his life because of the actions of these Three goons.

2. This was a KKK style killing

When I first saw this video last year which I could not really complete the whole thing to this day these videos really make me emotionally charged so I really try to stay away from him but when I watched enough to know what happened and see what's going on it surely reminded me of the days of you know the KKK The mask to vigilantes for white power and white supremacy went around killing black people for position for power and to completely terrorize black neighborhoods. So when I watch this video I realized that this was a KKK style killing of another unarmed black man.

.

  1. The police and the da should also be up for charges for falsifying information

It wasn't until certain video was released in regards to this killing that we started to find that the police and the da is complicit in the murder of Vermont Aubrey they try to rub it off and say oh yeah just a burglary and other black kid doing this during that and someone was protecting their quote unquote property which you know in America property is a contentious thing because we as blacks were once considered the very thing for which they feel they have to outright defend by force but as we all know especially those who claim to be Christian property you can get back you can rebuild but we'll never be able to get back and rebuild on Aubrey's life and a da and the police should be also prosecuted it's in the best of the law in regards to them being complicit and it's deadly act by these white vigilantes. and with the da and police help these murderous vigilantes could have gotten away with it.

  • Where is Sleepy Joe?

Unfortunately it seems that sleepy Joe has been pretty mute and regards to this particular case I'm assuming he doesn't want to sway the courts but where is sleepy Joe I don't know.

  • Let’s Take Em To Church

This world needs a reset since the pandemic has been a strong tense atmosphere of racism and prejudice in America, anti-black, anti-asian and anti everyone else.

1.Rittenhouse is a fraud.

If Kyle Rittenhouse really wants us to believe that he just went over to Kenosha Wisconsin a state that he's not from not a registered gun over there a minor if he just wants us to believe he went there to call Nicole protect property then I got some ice cold water to sell to Eskimos right now. Rittenhouse clearly went there with the intention but it was an assault rifle to do bodily harm to some people. It was a black lives matter protest protesting the shooting of an unarmed black man by the name of Jacob Blake which obviously turned into a very contentious situation within Wisconsin all within the missed all of the recent George Floyd protest at that time. Rent house is a fraud because he wants to claim self-defense but his intentions we're not good especially there was a recent video released of him and a friend in front of basically casing CVS looking at people walking out with whatever saying that he would have put some rounds into these individuals if he had his gun on them at the time. This guy is clearly a fraud and everyone knows it but he's become a hero on the right unfortunately.

  1. The Judge should recuse himself.

This judge is poor judge has given so much grace to Kyle Rittenhouse is his name is not it's laughable to be quite honest with us. This judge should recuse himself because clearly he is leaning towards giving this murderer more leniency than he does the victims of the crime. And it started with him not allowing the prosecutors to even call the victims he sat there as a daddy for Kyle Rittenhouse l had his crocodile tear moments. And he deeply rebuked and I'm honest the prosecution. I believe in my opinion that this judge as a trump loving make a great America great again Republican. Now there's nothing wrong with his belief system I'm not a big fan of the Democrats right now either but when you use your own beliefs to manipulate this type of trial sort of a trial of the century if you would then that's what a problem becomes evident as and why he needs to fire himself.

  1. 2 innocent victims died that day in Kenosha and 1 was severely injured.

One cannot be missed of the fact that two victims died that day in Kenosha that didn't have to die.. this rent house guy clearly went to Kenosha with an agenda he can blame it on self-defense all he wants but he doesn't have the self-defense to protect property that's not his and he can't claim self-defense when he really went there for a fight. My heart is heavy for the victims I myself have been a part of protest peaceful protest at that and I also seeing how protest can get agitated and people can get aggravated but never should we start pointing guns at each other because one disagrees with the other rent house is dead wrong and he should be placed under the prison.

1.Debunk The Myths

Let's go ahead and debunk these myths now and forever. Contrary to popular beliefs black fathers whether young, old, gay or straight love their kids. No matter if they like to have a pants hanging down or their pants up like Steve urkel. Black fathers love their kids. So with that being stated I want people to understand that black men aren't just out here having kids and not taking care of their responsibilities. Now of course you are going to have a few bad apples and a bunch that skeets in everything and walks away never to be seen again. Some of that is the black man fault and some of that is the women's fault for allowing what you know to be a no good nigga cum all in your walls. Now that we have the graphic part of this conversation over with let's start really talking about why black do love their kids.

  1. I Have Seen Men Cry and Wail Over Their kids

How do I know this well I was one of the ones crying and wailing over my child.A Few years back me and my child's mother with my child in the middle of it all got into a huge verbal altercation. It was the Pinnacle of what has defined our relationship today. But to not making a long story essentially it was a reference to custody and visitation of my child. My daughter was 2 years old roughly 2 years old at a time. And as she's approaching the eve of her 6 years a life on November 7th. I have realized I have grown a newfound love for my daughter as she shows me and her unconditional love that couldn't quite be explained when she was 2 years old. Now that she's able to make out a full sentences and speak so intelligently. I know without a shadow of a doubt within my mind that I love my daughter and I'm grateful to God that she's in my life.

  1. Women Stop Using Kids As a Tool To Spite the Father That Left You. He Left you not his child.

Sadly we see the replay button on this over and over again where as women weaponized their kids against the father in order to push the father out of the life of his child. And believe me because of women has a lot more rights than a man especially if you guys were not married. That woman has a lot of weapons to be able to use to draw ain't against the father and push him away not only from her essentially but sadly I'll wait from his child. So sadly as the argument goes when individuals say that nigga ain't shit and go on Instagram live talking about their baby daddy this and that little the people know that there's always two sides to the story. Why? Because I genuinely believe that black men do love their kids and they love their kids to help financially emotionally and spiritually as long as there is a healthy connection between the father and the baby mama. Praise God that the mother of my child and I are not where we 3 years ago but we can do better in the communication department today. She's a great mother and allows me to freely have opportunity to see my daughter and be and my daughter's life so show her unconditional love that she can only get when she has a balance of both mother and father in her life. Happy birthday Mila Destiny Beckford.

  • Let’s Take Em To Church

Black fathers come in all shapes and sizes we love our kids just as much as the next man. Just because we may be outside of the household it doesn't mean that we are not in our children's lives.

Michael D. Beckford Presents… The Forgotten Ones. A family is riveted with crisis after crisis.Will a new hope of finding a job and some definition of ā€˜normal’ save the Little family? Or will it be too little, too late, with the ongoing pandemic that will shutter the very businesses they desperately need to survive?

1.This World is run by rich men with ill intentions. By design a system which we are living under right now the whole world system is living on the governments of oppression suppression all to enable the rich. No I have no issues with someone being rich being wealthy whatever the term is I have no issue at all with it. Well I do have an issue with is the politics the deception and wickedness of many people that are rich they have no intentions for good for the people of the world.

  1. They will rather treat you than cure you. Big Pharma recognized a long time ago that the gold in their patents is not in the cure of a disease it is in the treatment of a disease. It is a lot less profitable to cure herpes then it is to treat herpes. It is a big money making machine for organizations like Susan G Komen to go around touting about let’s find a cure for cancer when they are paying a lot of the dividends from these particular donations to upper management. And you have these big players in the HIV business that can get somebody all the way down to a status called undetectable but yet say we don’t have a cure. Why because the money is in keeping you and I sick and on their beds no matter what the adverse reaction is.

  2. Do all lives really matter? If there truly will be a cure for coronavirus which I’m sure there is it will come with a lot of stipulations attached to it. Those stipulations can be mandatory everyone have to have the drug in order to be able to work and go about your life. Another stipulation would be that they will insert the microchip into this very antivirus that is supposed to heal us. I have a hard time trusting rich men like Bill Gates that have alternate agenda for the people. It says that even the devil can come in like an angel of light and with all the good that Bill Gates has been claimed to have done he definitely has some darkness looming in the shadows.

  3. Let’s Take Em To Church this world is wicked it is ran by the prince of darkness I am just so sick and tired of seeing the rampage evil that takes place in the atmosphere I pray that God heals this world heals our minds heals our souls and if it is truly his time to return Lord please help us all.

1.Not lookikg for normal, im looking for equal. I am not looking for normal I am looking for equal. As a staunch supporter of my people black people I am looking that when we all get over this particular pandemic that we can find some layers of equality within our nation. Layers for which we have not gotten at all. Charlemagne the god preaches on the breakfast club if the government can find $2 trillion out of nowhere to pay for this coronavirus relief efforts the government can pay back reparations. This is the only way that blacks will be able to get equal footing in this land we call the United States of America for which we our ancestors have built upon this nation.

  1. Do you really want to go back to normal? Many individuals have already found a way to be able to monetize work from home and be just as productive or more productive from their homes why do you want to go back to normal with congested streets pollution and other unhealthy things that keep this planet towards the breaking point. Normal has not been good to our world and normal certainly has not been good to our health. Many have already just dead lives and found a new normal it’s only a matter of time that these new practices will be the law of the land.

  2. Let’s Take Em To Church As thousands of lives have been lost to this hateful disease none of us truly know the day or the hour of our return to God or gods return to his earth. Let us live our lives and be grateful and thankful for the breath in our bodies and yes everything is normal about that.

1.9/11 all over again? after 9/11 the US federal government did a lot of shady things all in the name of national security. I’m Muslim brothers and sisters were unfairly targeted in this created a new division of government which we now know as the department of homeland security and many more shady things was created doing this particular time of chaos confusion and questionable terrorism in New York City. As a question all because there are some individuals out there that believe that the US government orchestrated this attack themselves this has not quite frankly been proven to a T but I’ll let you decide.

  1. The patriot act was passed after 9/11

One of the key triggers that we find happened doing 9/11 that is happening today is that he created the perfect storm of fear confusion and pandemonium right now with that same brewery of fear confusion and pandemonium we had the patriot act that was passed on that time well I’m a be honest with you guys it has hundreds of pages in there that is unpatriotic when it comes down to the American people

  1. Donald Trump wants more power Donald Trump and of course his lawyer in chief the attorney general William Barr want more power in the judiciary doing this time of pandemic they want to lock up people in definitely and they don’t want to hold courts. We are talking about the American people here. And of course you know who this will affect the most. Yes you got it, minorities who have already been affected by everything this nation has done to us.

Let’s Take Em To Church God is greater than any king many of the disciples and those who have followed God have gone to prison been killed persecuted for his name sake this is not new for governments to want to hold power unquenchable power we see this in China Russia and other places.

1.No $1200 Checks For Fathers That Owe Back child support As a father that the moment I was put on child support I was automatically put in arrears i.e. back child support I find that this is an alarming sneaky devil is staying there the US government orchestrated to yet again hold back my black and Latinos which make up and represent the majority of individuals that owe child support. They are holding us back my from being able to be to buy a simple slice of bread. Fathers including myself have been hurt by this pandemic just as anyone else and to be able to forgive don’t matter if you hit a person has Student Loan debt still or owe taxes whatever else but to now see if your black father you child support you don’t get the $1200. I think this is a crime honestly before Congress. To put in such a special initiative because every American has been hurt by this what they think that fathers have not lost their jobs this Season. This system of Child support to jails suspended licenses is it needs to be suspended right now as we are in this time it’s a not be able to receive any finances regarding help from the very Fathe or looking towards helping your kids to me is an atrocity.

  1. Not All Black Father’s Are dead beats. The system is..

Not all black fathers are a deadbeat dad. Many fathers out there that are struggling doing our best to make sure the kids are fed doing our best to make sure the key is a confident doing it best to visit with the kids so when you have a deadbeat system as a state of child support which is a prison pipeline in itself it makes me wonder are they really there for the kids or are they there to continue to enslave black men without cause. Let’s Take Em To Church There is a disease brewing in this nation even worse than the coronavirus that disease is inequality. Inequality will uproot his head on this particular nation. We will start to see that there will only be two classes in America indefinitely. Rich and poor middle class out the door .

1.Serving warrants A Tampa pastor was served a warrant last week for having a full-blown church service was he right or wrong for his actions and should he have been served a warrant.

  1. The Government is Not Playing

We here in United States especially Christians love to tout separation of church and state. We also talk big about the right to be able to worship well what happens when there is a pandemic? What powers does the government really have to determine where the pastor and his or her flock can freely worship? Howlong does the government have these broad powers to systematically shut down churches?

  1. Should we believe Godā€˜s word or the government. This could be a bit tricky here because depending on what side you are on as far as this argument is concerned you can relatively use the Bible to argue both sides just like they did slavery so the honest answer is we should always believe God but their scriptures that speak on having respect for government bananas also scripture that speaks on Godā€˜s laws being above all others I’ll let you do the interpretation

Let’s Take Em To Church The church as we know it is moving at a very fragile beat there is no one I can say that they stepped up to the plate to comfort the masses that believe in our God we must admit this is taking us all by surprise but if any Christian believing believer has read any scripture in revelations they should not be surprised at all.

  1. Surgeon General Warning Rona? The surgeon general is warning that this week could be the worst week we have seen yet when it comes down to the pandemic known as COVID-19 or as black folks like to call it ā€˜the Rona’

  2. Not Everyone Is Equally Hurting

Early Studies have suggested that minorities specifically blacks wil hurt the most when it comes down to this particular pandemic also because of the fact that blacks lead in diseases like diabetes asthma and other ailments this particular pandemic will hit them even harder.

4.Domestic Violence is on an uptick . Any work and go to your local jail or prison to figure out the fact that if you put people in confined spaces for a long period of time tensions will mount. Anxieties are high with people trying to find out when was pandemic. Deprsssion and other mental health diseases have all played factors in the rise of domestic violence against women against men and against children.

Let’s Take Em To Church The world can heal from this pandemic it is not too late. It is up to us to shift the curve and change our ideals about what we really want as a country and as a planet.

Or will her own ā€˜human’ like inhibitions impede the grand purpose to save all of mankind? Lady in The Mountain is available exclusively now on amazon.com

1.What we gone do with $1200? Unless you are a middle school kid with no responsibilities and Hardley nothing to with no bills to pay or anything like that. What the hell are we gonna do with $1200?

  1. If the rent man asking for $1200? if the Rent man is axing for $1200 which the first is literally tomorrow. How the heck are you going to pay for groceries now I know this new stimulus package does discourage landlords from evicting tenants and mortgages being on hold. But what if you have a dirty landlord that trumps the law or their mortgage is not protected by the stimulus package what do you do then?

Let’s Take Em To Church: I am grateful that both sides of Congress put down their differences to come up with some sort of stimulus to help stimulate our economy but I believe that it is too little to help the average American worker that Has to stay home for God knows however long that could be.

Or will her own ā€˜human’ like inhibitions impede the grand purpose to save all of mankind? Lady in The Mountain is available exclusively now on anazon.com

  1. Corona is not a God. The coronavirus of course is a disease that has caused mass hysteria mass shut downs and joblessness but it is not a god.
  2. Does your neighbor have the Rona? as the world continues to practice social distancing how much different will we be when we discontinue self Quarantine. Will we be nice to our neighbors or will be forever be etched fear and on edge bracing for the next outbreak?

  3. Black Business Are Hurting Unless you have been living under a rock there’s no science to it when most businesses closed and black businesses being those that have always tend to struggle the most the coronavirus will deathly shut down more black businesses than none. And let’s not forget our black churches they also are on the losing end of this worldwide epidemic.

  4. Average Americans Are hurting. As the unemployment rates are skyrocketing like never seen before it is also evident that the average every day American is hurting from this disease parents are forced to stay home and kids have to be home as well. This is a crisis like never seen before in our lifetimes.

Let’s Take Em To Church The coronavirus may be a big deal but it surely is not God. I believe that there is a cure out there somewhere for this particular virus. Why do I believe this? I believe this because I believe in Psalms 103:3 it simply states. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. I didn’t say that God can heal some of your diseases I said all Don does is there is something in nature the hill this disease of corona in any other disease ever known to mankind that includes sickle cell, lupus ,HIV, cancer whatever it is God is the healer of all diseases.

:30 AD SPOT

{5 minutes with Mike is sponsored by SpeakPublishing International’s Newest Book Dirty Negroes.

The stakes are much higher now and the pain grows deeper. Roman Chase continues to search for more answers about his deceased father and kingpin T-Dubb. The web of secrets grow deeper, and the cost of drugs becomes an increasingly expensive habit to be addicted too. Roman’s life is spiraling out of control with the added peer pressures of his friends. Is this the life that T-Dubb a.k.a. Roman Watson wanted for his son? Or is this a mirror of things to come for Roman Chase as he seeks to find himself and his true identity in the business his father built.

This is book #2 in the Hood Boys Series. Ā {Available for FREE today exclusively on amazon kindle unlimited program. }

:60 Stop Playing Politics With our black and brown men

Its a downright tragedy to see people that look like me and you locked up in jail and prison over an herb. A natural growing plant which has no recorded deaths of overdose. Being locked up may not even be the worse part. Watching the political moves by various states to implement weed aka marijuana as a ā€˜legal’ recreational drug while billon dollar enterprises get in on the act. Well— that should be considered a crime. At the very least. Downright shameful. Brothas and sistas have become slaves in those prisons. Now they see a profit and the tides are shifting.

:90 It was never about public health

If weed was about public health, Colorado and other states would have just had medical marijuana, not pass laws for recreational use. With medical marijuana there is only but a limited customer base which in turn means lower tax dollars. But by Colorado and other states making recreational mariguana use ā€˜Legal’ it widens the base of potential customers therefore ensuring huge windfalls for both state and local government, and the growers and distributors. But nobody is asking the right questions like? Will some of those tax dollars go to rehabilitations and facilitation of the vast majority of people that look like me who had been locked up and served with severe minimum sentences for weed? An injustice has taken place. Its time for some of these phony politicians to make it right and foot the bill to help our people.

:30 Donald Trump Said What

Lets took a close look in the mirror. Hope you saw that blessing staring right at you.

:60 Praise God For A Jaden Smith

The world needs more young men like Jaden Smith, much kudos to his parents Will and Jada for raising him to be such a compassionate and kind hearted young man. Now— lets fast forward.

:90 The Water Box

Jaden Smith and his team has engineered a brilliant mobile water filtration system to help the residents of Flint, Michigan. This is a feat he has done despite years of politics, blame game and downright dont-care about black people on the local and state governments. Our federal government is also to blame because Flint citizens are also American citizens and Americans deserve to have clean water everywhere. We as a nation spend billions of dollars on whimsical military projects and nation building, while neglecting the very citizens right here at home. Rome fell from the inside out because it forgot about the very least of them that needed pivotal resources to survive. I am enthralled and the citizens of Flint are happy with this philanthropic effort by Jaden and his family. But why should tax payers and the residents of Flint who are still forcibly paying for led water have to have an outsider to come in and be the redeeming grace. What happened to government. Was there a total lapse in judgement? Did the system totally fail? We hear you Flint, But are we listening?

:30 Donald Trump Said What??

:30 Take Em To Church

We should not expect government to take care of us. Our government on all levels have shown US that we have to take care of our own. I pray for the people of Flint, Michigan. And I pray for people around the world that are in the struggle for clean disease and led free water.

:60 Celebrating The 50th Episode of 5 Minutes With Mike

In celebration of five minutes with Mike 50th episode, I want to thank you my growing listening audience for your support and show some love to you that are thinking about potentially starting a podcast show yourself.

:90 All I Need in One Mic

This was the lyric in one of Nas’s hit records. There is a lot a truth to this, but along with a great microphone, you also need a pop filter and of course the software to record your episodes onto your computer. So---here’s a hint, you can literally go on amazon.com today and be up and ready to star your five minute show by Monday for less than $100. 1. Blue Microphone ( This is what I use). It is a great microphone and can be used for a multitude of things. 2. Pop Filter (this helps with voice breath noise reduction). You will be surprised by the amount of breathing that happens when we talk. Well--we can't help this. But we can reduce it. 3. Leapic audio editor (this program is free) You an use it in its entirety for free and after a few weeks you will get the hang of it. Ā If you are a techy person, maybe a lot sooner than that. I maybe migrating to another platform because this software does crash alot. Which gets annoying, otherwise if you are on a shoe-string budget this is certainly a great option. Finally I have recorded all of my episodes thus far in my walk-in closet. When you are starting out like myself and you have no sponsors for your show i.e. money. You have to do what you have to do, find yourself a quiet place that you can record quality podcast episodes. Your audience wouldn’t even know it.

:30 Take Em To Church

We all have the gift to say something meaningful. So--- say it. Start your podcast, be a gift to the world. No this is not a money making machine right now. But it can be used as a tool to help build your brand and touch someone’s life in the process. Thanks for listening to episode #50.

:60 This is My Struggle With Acid Reflux

At the sprie age of fourteen, a tingling, burning sensation had occurred down my throat. It went from my throat to my stomach and back. Well, this was my first introduction to acid-reflux. It’s a disease that millions of Americans like myself suffer from on a daily basis. Some have minor bouts of acid-reflux. Others, like me, it was a little more acute. The acid bothered me so bad that I went from Tums, Malox, Ranitidine all Ā the way to Prilosec for at least five to seven years as an adult. At the time I had no idea about the side effects, I just knew it helped me feel better, and I only had to take it once a day. Well--here’s my story.

:90 Always search for a natural substitue…

One day out of the blue a panic ensued at the age of twenty-five. I being a young healthy male woke up in a deep sweat and my heart racing as fast as a ā€˜bullet train’ at least in my mind. Lord knows I thought I was having a heart-attack. Couldn’t be. I was just playing full-court basketball a day or so before. Well, I was rushed in an ambulance to the hospital, and the doctors did as many test as they deemed necessary for my heart. They found nothing. My heart was normal, an ā€˜athlete’s’ heart they said. Over the years this issue had ensued and robbed me of some nights and put me into a state of perpetual fear of death and the unknown. It wasn’t till I started doing some research till I realized that this little purple pill was to true burglar. It was a great way to eat all I wanted without the acidic side effects.

But prilosec, which has a class action lawsuit against it, was taking my essential minerals from my body. I had to take magnesium supplements, coq10 and eat alot of bananas. The verdict was in, prilosec was doing more harm than good. Not to mention the devastating effect it can do to your kidneys and bones over time. Before I was taking prilosec, I could eat chocolate like nobody's business. While taking Prilosec I could not eat chocolate or any caffeinated beverages. My life felt like it was in a stalemate at many times. I was always living with the thought of another panic attack ensuing. Needless to say, I decided to take some real actions. I tried to ditch prilosec a few times, but after a few ā€˜acid attacks’ I went running back to the box of pills. This time in October 2018 was different. I did my research and realized that even if I had an internal acid attack, that I would have to fight the battle for my life. I would have to change my diet a little, eat better foods and give my body a chance to heal from prilosec.

Most importantly my body needed to be naturally alkaline. Studies have shown that the majority of cancers and diseases in the human body occur because the body is too acidic. Prilosec did not make my body alkaline. No--it just delayed the acid in the gut and prevented it from pumping the way it

:60 Do Black People Care About The Mueller Report?

Well---I’m sure some do. But it's hard to think about the Mueller Report, when you are thinking about the police report filed just because you were driving while black. Now let's get to it. The over two year old investigation into whether or not President Donald J. Trump and his allies and or campaign officials had colluded with the Russians. Well--a few pages released by the new attorney general says that President Trump did not collude with the Russians in election meddling. It did not say that the Russians did not try and meddle with our elections. It's also key to note that the report suggest, but is not concrete with the fact that Donald Trump may have obstructed justice.

:90 Are we done hunting for witches?

As far as Robert Mueller is concerned, the witch hunt is over. As far as the new powers the democrats have over the House of representatives, the hunt is just getting started. Whether they find witches, warlocks and green men, well that will be up for debate. For now, Donald Trump’s camp will spin this small victory as best they can.

:30 Donald Trump Said What??

:30 Take Em To Church

What is Justice. What is a crime? There is a blurred line in our country between what is right, and what is severely wrong. Those that are the powerful seek more of it, those that have ess than. Well-- they lose it. This is also biblical my friends. All in all what the Mueller report tells us about US as a nation is that we are all inherently flawed and more divided than ever.

:60 Not Surprised By The Verdict

Are you surprised by the verdict that Antwon Rose’s murder is walking away scott free. Yep, you heard that right. I’m going to call it what it is. MURDER. Ā Like the bloody scenes you see in a Quentin Tarantino movie, or the latest war report on CNN. Antwon Rose, another unarmed black teen, gone to soon by one of the few bad apples in the Pittsburg Police Department.Michael Rosfeld, a white ex-East Pittsburgh police officer, fatally shot 17-year-old Antwon on June 19, 2018, as the teenager fled a traffic stop in East Pittsburgh. A jury acquitted Rosfeld on all charges Friday. As cited by NewsOne.com

:90 Tired of Talking About This

I am sick and tired of having a bi-weekly conversation about another young black male (endangered species) being gunned down by the police. Time out for talk and marches. Now it's time for congress to take some action on some real criminal justice reform. No more whimsical talking points from the left or the right. Time to implement the type of justice that works for all Americans’ not just those that are privileged. #justiceforantwonrose

Wish he is this passionate about our Criminal Injustice system, which continues to reward dity cops for bad behavior.

:60 Praise God For Monday

If you were like me this weekend, rushing through Ā the sea of black people just so you can see Jordan Peele’s newest movie Us. Now I know what you are thinking, didn’t he just talk about this movie in the last episode. Correct. But I didn’t get to speak about the box-office numbers that were just released on Sunday to the tune of a stellar $70 million dollars over three days. This movie was indeed a great production by Jordan Peele and the entire cast. I give the movie an A rating.

:90 Black Films Win

Every year Hollywood executives and pundits all ask themselves. Can a film with a majority black cast be a winner at the box-office. Well--- time and time again black actors, directors and producers have proved them wrong. In a big way… And black audiences have always attended and supported great content. Not just because of a black cast, because believe me we have seen some black movies that haven’t done that well. They have supported films that have great content like ā€˜Black Panther’ and movies that make you think like ā€˜Get Outā€. Black people are not a monolith. We don’t just watch gansta and ā€˜hood’ movies. While ā€˜Straight Out of Compton’ was an example of a great theatrical production and a very well told storyline that saw great box-office success for Universal Studios. The same studio that has produced Get-Out and Us. Universal as a distributor has also released a few Kevin Hart features. Clearly they understand the benefits of being in the business of black movies. Universal Studios is wholly owned by Comcast.

:30 Take Em To Church

We are what we see. The images we see, are the images which we become. When we see Us in a better image. When we see Us doing better, then we know that we can be delivered from the daily grind of life as we knew it.

:60 What does Us Say About Us

This is a special Saturday edition of 5 minutes with Mike. Welcome to the program and thanks for listening. First if all this movie Us should not be sold as a scary movie. I probably jumped one time. Its more of a psychological thriller for which you have to see more than once. Although i don’t believe the movie to be scary to me. The black woman sitting to the right of me jumped and screamed at everything. So—-what does Us say about us?

:90 Im confused

This movie was indeed a great production by Jordan Peele and I give the movie a A rating. But i think there are some holes in my mind which must be filled.

:30 Take Em To Church

America as we know it has been crippled by the very thing that has also made us great. What is that? Our differences. Their is a battle by both major parties to keep Us separate and apart. Whether it be through racism, classism or hypocrisy. There is big business in keeping Us divided. Don’t believe me? Well— look at the record spending each party makes to keep their agenda in office.

:60 Native Americans, Holocaust Survivors, Japanese and Others

Have all received some form of reparations from the United States of America. I'm not too thrilled by the talking points of many of the top Democrats running for President. For former President Obama, he stated the repatriations talks was a non-starter for his administration. Which I believe was a mistake. But for the pool of democrats racing to beat Donald Trump in 2020. This issue not only should be addressed but put into action NOW.

:90 Don’t Sale Me, Help Me

Senator Bernie Sanders on an interview with ā€˜The Breakfast Club’ pretty much dodged the question of reparations for African Americans. His approach is one of if All-Americans are better then African-Americans will be better off as well. No—- sir we tried that and it has failed miserably. The income gap between middle class African Americans and their white peers grow by the second. Elizabeth Warren recently said on a CNN town hall meeting that we need to ā€œstudyā€the need for reparations. Sorry Mrs. Warren but if you are claiming to be a percentage of Native American, then you should know that their is no study needed to see the slaughter that was set forth against your people. We as the decendants of slaves want our 40 acres and or a substantial monetary investment in our people. We want reperations Ā and we want it now!! If holocaust survivors can get theirs, why cant we who truly built America get ours now?

:30 Donald Trump Said What???

:30 Take Em To Church

Blood sweat and tears have been shed by my ancestors to make this country what it is today. The bills are due, pay what you owe US America.

:60 Russian Roulette with Our Money

Donald Crooked J. Trump is playing Russian Roulette with our hard earned money. In his newest proposed budget, which is guaranteed to pick a fight with democrats. President Trump effectively wants to cut nearly every government run program that doesnt help advanve him and his rich buddies. Think trillion dollar tax cut 2018. This tax cut works best for the top 1% of corporate America. Basically subsidizing deep pockets while taking from those that are less than.

:90 Sounds like Robin Hood yet?

Well it shouldn’t. Or maybe President Trump saw the movie and decided to do everything backward. His best method of trying to undo everything Obama has done. So… maybe President Trump Saw Robin Hood but the opposite happened to him. Maybe he thought the movie meant to steal from the poor and give to the rich billionaires like himself. It was a very campaign promise of his not to cut medicare and medicaid, but fast forward March 2019 and President Trump is singing a different tune.

:30 Donald Trump Said What???

I hope he writes a check to Medicare and Medicaid. How about a check to the thousands of kids would lose a meal of the govt nutrition program if his proposed cuts are made into law.

:30 Take Em To Church

Judge not by word alone but by the evidence a man shows forth within his life.

:60 White on Muslim Crime

The far right white supremacy groups have been working overtime since Donald Trump took office. They of course were ignited and engaged to do something when President Barack Obama was in office. They even helped record record gun sales for gun manufacturers across the nation. But while President Obama was the match that lit the kindle for an increase in white supremacy groups. President Trump was the forest these groups needed to burn out of control.

:90 Don't Need Politicians To Send Thoughts and Prayers. Send a bill to congress that will change laws and is veto proof.

As many of you already know about the massacre in New Zealand that took the lives of 50 muslims and rising while they were in church. 17 minutes of horror was live streamed on Facebook by this monster and he even included a manifesto. According to FBI statistics, white supremacy hate groups are on the rise everywhere. Unfortunately our Current President doesn't seem to feel that way. So here we are with more thoughts and prayers after a deranged white male decided to do bad things to people that act and look different from him. Sad.

:30 Donald Trump Said What???

:30 Take Em To Church

The Church use to be the place of refuge. A place which was unequivocally off the table in terms of committing mass murder. Well— times have changed and those who are the purveyors of hate sees no boundaries. Jesus is coming a guy. Are you ready? If not, my thoughts and prayers are with you...

:60 They Got Caught

By now many of you have heard about the down right scam that took place with a few rich white people. This scam has been dubbed as a college acceptance ring with a fake non- profit headed by William Rick Singer, the mastermind behind this $25 million dollar scam. Of course the most well known participant of this scam is Felicity Huffman. Best known for her role on Abc’s hit comedy ā€˜Desperate Housewives’.

:90 Would You Pay To Get Your Kid into the best school?

Now to some people this act of paying someone to take a test to get high scores on the SAT may not seem like a crime. But to the seven FBI agents that went to Mrs.Huffman’s home with guns drawn. This is very much a serious crime. So the question is… Would youYou Pay To Get Your Kid into the best school? Many of us have cheated on test through out our lives. And we may not see this as a big deal. But not only were they faking test. They Also alluded to their kids playing sports they didnt play. And created this whole narrative jusy to buy their kids into the top ranked colleges. They could have taken spots from a less fortunate child that very well earned and deserved to be at that particular university. What are your thoughts? Sound off in the comments below.

:30 Donald Trump Said What??

:30 Take Em To Church

The bible says that what happens in the dark must come to light. And its only so lomg you can cheat a school and not get caught. But instead of these desperate parents going to see the principal's office or dean. They may just be going to the big house for a little while. Class is in session.

:60 Code Blue

All of us know that there is a general code of silence within the ranks of police officers Nationwide. Good cops do good and bad cops go unpunished. I wonder what would this world be like without cell-phones catching these dirty cops in the act. Wait a minute I know, more of ghe same. Because camera phones or not the laws are written alot different for the men in blue. Especially in terms of the way they handle men of color in our communities.

:90 Silence is Deadly

This past week a Texas cop pulled a gun out and had it to the chest of a young black teen. All because he said the ā€˜F’ word which wasn’t directed at the cop. The teen was handcuffed and had no where to go. Yet he was subjected to this terrifying ordeal. This specific officer could have been having a bad day or a history of interactions like this. I dont know his record. But other officers that may ride-along with him daily or interact knows his character and how he behaves with the community he interacts with. Thank God he didn’t accidentally shoot someone’s soon. But must we the citizens live under fear and must we say, ā€œthank God he wasn’t shot as the standard beare for good policing. The code of silence must be broken. And fellow officers must speak up when their is a renegade cop in their ranks. One bad cop makes the whole department look bad. We all need some form of policing. Just not the type that profiles, shoots first ask questions later etc.

:30 Donald Trump Said What???

:30 Take Em To Church

We all bare apart of what we would like our community to look like and be. We cant glorify the drug dealers and the prostitutes. Crime must be uprooted and its going to take all of us to do our part in community policing.

:60 Mooz-lum

Congresswoman Ā Ilhan Omar, the Freshman Democrat from the 5th district of Minnesota has been under a lot of heat as only one of two Muslim women to ever have served in the US congress. She is under heat from the statements she made about Israel just a few weeks ago, and current statements this past weekend on twitter about certain Jewish special interest paying Members of congress to represent their interest. Well---I’m here to defend her freedom of religion, and right to speak out especially if it's all about the Benjamins Baby.

:90 I support Freedom of Religion

I support freedom of religion and the Congress woman’s right to express her opinions about Israel or any other religion for that matter.

:30 Take Em To Church

Every country and or religion should be held to a higher standard. And it is up to we the people to call them out. There is nothing wrong in criticizing a religious nation state such as Israel, as long as it's done with love and a way to help navigate the issues through conflict resolution.

:60 Being Poor

Being Poor in America is like a toothpick trying to get the leftover meat out of your teeth. People usually don’t see the value in you unless they really, really need you. And boy--- does everyone take advantage of the poor. And you guessed it right, the criminal injustice system. There was a study done by the then President Obama justice system which gave detailed information on the cronyism and down right scam that took place in Ferguson, Missouri. From Police Officers to as high up as city council and judges were all in on the scheme to write tickets, oppress undeserving communities, all the while building up an arsenal Ā of military style weapons and vehicles. Yet the least of these, the poor could not make bail and black and brown people ended up serving two to three times longer sentences than their white counterparts.

:90 The Rich Man Ā Does It Again

I have no problem with anyone being rich. As a matter of fact I aspire one day to be a wealthy man, and pass an inheritance on to my kids and their kids. I believe that creating wealth for our family tree is an awesome thing. And people shouldn’t be penalized just because they made something better of themself. So---here is my issue. My issue is the scales of justice needs to be balanced. The entire system of bail should be thrown out and deemed as unconstitutional. There is nothing Biblical about keeping an innocent man or woman locked up, just because he or she could not make bail. Its not right and it needs to be changed immediately.

Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: There are a lot of loopholes and sideways deals in our criminal injustice system. But as far as I’m concerned, those that are poor and less fortunate shall not fall through the cracks just because they didn’t have the money and or resources to vouch for their innocence.

2015 BWABC Award Winning Author puts urban gay fiction on its heels with this highly rated and reviewed novel. It's a classic struggle of the battle between what the heart wants and the flesh desires.

{Available in ebook paperback and audio wherever books are sold. . }

:60 More than Just a Word

The usage of the term faggot has been as widely divisive to the lgbt community as the word Nigger is to the African-American community. No, it doesn’t hold a term of endearment to the LGBT community, yet ist an expression of hate, ambiguity, insecurity, secrets, mistrust all wrapped into one word. But local Orlando Artist who goes by the name of Lil Jiten decided to embrace the word while dispelling all possible scenarios of someone outside of the lgbt community to use that term against him

:90 Lil Jiten Has a Big Following

The Song aptly titled ā€˜Faggot’ has given Lil Jiten an incredible following as a local Orlando native and his song has gone viral with fans submitted their own version of the song to this young artist on a daily basis. I caught up with this spectacular artist while he was working on writing his next big hit. He told me that the inspiration for this song has been vastly due to the mistreatment Ā he has witnessed to the members of the lgbt community. While he being a young black gay male has also experienced notions of hate and being frowned on by members in the community. But as you can hear in his lyrics to the song ā€˜Faggot’ he speaks on other black males that are on the down low with baby mamas and other issues that did not allow them to come out the closet. So they hate on him all the while they secretly try to message him through gay chat apps and other mostly gay venues. Take a quick listen to his song available on soundcloud, youtube, instagram and other platforms. Warning the language used in the song may not be suitable for young ears listening to this podcast.

Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: I was taught in school that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. I believe this is one of the biggest lies told to elementary school children. Words have power and many times they hurt harder and last longer than those sticks and stones.

:60 Abuse of Power

Everyone in America born before the year 2000 had an icnining and or insuation that something naughty was going on at the Neverland ranch. Or should I call it, homemade circus. Now no disrespect to the Late Great Michael Jackson, but I must call a spade a spade. I am a big fan of his work as an artist. The personal accusations against him during the during of much of his adult life. Not so much. But one thing for sure, he was acquitted twice of all charges associated with child molestation. Wade Roberson and James Safechuck also testified to this many years ago. So why now, why come out with a stinging documentary about R. Kelly, I mean Michael Jackson.

:90 Sorry I don’t Have Home Box Office (HBO)

Sorry I don’t Have Home Box Office better known as HBO, to watch this two and a half hour long documentary about that late great king of pop. And to be honest, I don’t think my stomach could handle the allegations and or rumors about Michael even if I did have HBO. Just as watching the R. Kelly documentary after just one and a half episodes gave me the creeps. Now, I am a father of a three year old daughter and not only would I not let a random man or woman sleep in the bed with her, but I’d find it to be rather odd and creepy if someone even asked me of such a thing, including family members. So I wonder what was up with the parents? And if something that crazy and bizarre was going on in Neverland, then why not leave and don’t come back.

Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: It is our responsibility as parents to make sure we protect our kids. I never stepped foot on the property of Never Neverland so I have no idea whats true nor false. But the narrative of a grown man sleeping with random boys and or girls is never a good look for anyone involved. And so since Michael Jackson is not here to defend himself. I’ll say rest in peace to the King of Pop, for whatever they accused you of doing at least we know you will Never Never do it again. ..

The world changes the scales of justice daily, but these 70 poems and exclusive bonus material put into perspective the very nature for what many of our ancestors have fought for. The debt was paid through slavery, the debt was paid through the civil rights era. Yet the balance has never been paid to the children and children's children of those that have placed both physical and mental prisons on the lives of entire generations.

:60 Trillion Dollar Buying Power

In 2016 African-American’s recorded over $1.2 trillion dollars in annual spending. Wow. This is more than the GDP of over 20 individual nations. Yes you heard that right. Blacks spend enough money to emphatically start our own country. I mean, people already think Wakanda from the Blockbuster Hit Movie The Black Panther is a real place. Well guess what, we spend enough money to make fiction turn into facts. Well here are the facts, or at least based on my opinion. Many of us are probably not looking to start our own country and go back to Africa as Marcus Garvey suggested in his book Message To The People. But we can all do some practical things that will help build generational Ā wealth with our dollars right here in America.

:90 The Business of Royalty and Residuals

I as a published author makes a royalty every time one of my books are sold, and or read on amazon.com, apple book store, kobo, barnes and noble and many more. Basically each retailer has to pay me a percentage off each sale that is made. Even on a book I may have written ten or fifteen years ago like my book ā€œSpeak Up! Poetryā€ which was released in 2004. No matter how small the royalty checks from ebooks, printed books and audiobooks are now, I know that overtime these checks can grow large and large the more I write and publish. Most importantly when I die, my daughter and her children will receive these same payments from these retailers and more because I own all of the copyrights to my work. And as long as these products sale, my family gets paid, and the best part is, my daughter only has to lift a finger to sign a check. Now--- this is an example of royalty payments, the same rule applies for musicians, writers etc.

One of the next best part of building long term wealth is through residual payments. An actor does five seasons of a show or even one season doesn’t matter, all is based on their contractual obligations. But said actor, does a show or movie they get paid a residual everytime that movie is played. Now many of us probably won't cross that Hollywood red-line so many of us may choose other routes for residual income. Some may choose an MLM others may start their own business and pass it down. But however you desire to build wealth, there is no profession that has built more millionaires than real-estate. And I’m not just talking about going to a class getting your license as a realtor. No I’m talking about being an investor. Someone who may wholesale properties without having cash or credit or someone who fix and flips or buys and holds properties. There is a lot I can speak about in this area of building Black Power and a lot I am learning. But since I am pressed for time maybe I’ll do a part two. Ā

{5 minutes with Mike is sponsored by SpeakPublishing International’s Newest Book Dirty Negroes.

The stakes are much higher now and the pain grows deeper. Roman Chase continues to search for more answers about his deceased father and kingpin T-Dubb. The web of secrets grow deeper, and the cost of drugs becomes an increasingly expensive habit to be addicted too. Roman’s life is spiraling out of control with the added peer pressures of his friends. Is this the life that T-Dubb a.k.a. Roman Watson wanted for his son? Or is this a mirror of things to come for Roman Chase as he seeks to find himself and his true identity in the business his father built.

:60 Lynne Patton

During the term of Michael Cohen’s a.k.a. President Donald Trump’s former fixer, there was a lot of viral moments from this six-hour long congressional hearing. But there was one moment that has really taken on a life of its own, and that’s the moment when 46 year old Lynne Patton allowed herself to be used as a prop for Republican representative of North Carolina Michael Meadows. According to Ms. Patton, she said that Donald Trump is not a racist because being from Alabama she’ll never work for a racist. There is so much to unpack with this, but with so little time. So here’s my question for you...

:90 Will You Knowingly Work For A Racist?

I think believe there are millions of people whether knowingly or unknowingly work for a racist. Racism is not just about if you are black or white. But it's about a deep culture of suppression in the workplace, churches and many places of business. Jerry Jones Ā of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys have made some racially insensitive and overt comments which can deem him to be a racist. Of course no racist will openly say, ā€œhey I’m a racistā€ Unless they are dawning the old white sheets with holes in them or marching down the street with tiki torches. Either way, for as much as the NFL players know about Jerry Jones, 80% or more of the players who are black still play football for him. Does it matter if your boss is racist and you are able to feed your family and take care of your bills, or should the boss be held to a higher standard. Or would you yourself with your 100k or better job find out that your boss is racist, would you leave immediately. Or would you stay their and work for him or her because in the end it's kind of the status quo because you have kids and bills to pay? Sound off in the comments below.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Lynne Patton may have gotten her fifteen seconds of fame, or maybe she had buyers remorse for even being there while being used as a prop to defend Donald J. Trump. Either way she did not say a word while in the chambers of congress during the hearing and she left out quickly. Many of us have and are now working for someone which we may not like many of the personal views of that boss. We may not like their religion, their sexuality and oh… yeah their racism. But as long as your boss whomever that maybe is not suppressing your growth as an employee through wage stagnation and promotion. Then go ahead work for that racist bigot and make millions of dollars in the process, use those finances build your business then leave that motherfer.

:60 The many faces of inequality

What in the world does an older white women have to do with the criminal injustice system. I'll tell you what, she had a biracial son who was caught up in the system.

:90 Is there Hope for the hood?

Rita Pearson has been fighting for the rights and treatment of juvenile kids throughout the state of Florida. She’s been doing this work over a decade under her non-profit titled ā€˜Hope For The Hood’ Pearson whom i know personally and have spoken in some of these institutions with her has been working tirelessly to see primarily young men and women be set free. She has brought in Christian and inspirational based artist authors and speakers to be a path of light to many of these juvenile kids that have been locked up and simply went astray. These kids are the forgotten kids. The throw away kids. The kids in the hood with no fathers, lack of a good mother and a network of crime that welcomes them into the family these young boys crave to have.

Is there hope for the hood? Of course I believe as such. As long as we have breath on our bodies a change can come and happen. We must not forget about these kids that are bused hundreds of miles from their families. Some of these kids have been treated very unfairly by the system. Kids are bullied, some are rapped, some commit suicide while others are preyed on by the very adults assigned to see them do better. This is in deed one of America’s dirtiest little secrets. Who else is going to stand up for this kids. Who else is going Ā to bring at least a glimmer of hope to the hood.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Criminal Injustice anywhere is a Criminal Injustice everywhere. America please stand up for our forgotten children.

:60 Congrats To All The Academy Award Winners

By now Im sure you have heard about the historic night that happened this past Sunday. It was surely a night to remember for fans of Black Panther, Green Book and BlackKlannnsman. Regina King won her first Oscar Spike Lee won his first and Mahershala Ali won his second.Congrats to these winners and more during this host-less telecast.

:90 Did Uncle Spike Have a Point?

Director, producer , writer extraordinaire Spike Lee had quite the winning monologue speech. He spoke on his grandmother. He gave a quick reflection about slavery and encouraged voters to vote their conscious in 2020. But it was his near walk off during the best picture presentation that ā€˜Green Book’ won and Lee’s after Academy comments that has sparked conversation. A conversation that has been brewing at the Oscars ever since the movie ā€˜The Help’.

Lee is still a little soggy with the Academy for his loss to ā€˜Driving Miss Daisy’ which starred Morgan Freeman. His movie ā€˜Do The Right Thing’ he believed should have took home oscar gold 30 years ago.

Sooo—is the Oscars more in favor of movies depicting blacks in more subservient type roles, than roles which portray black people in power. ā€˜Green Book’ was an awesome movie by the way and deserving of the award. But what are your thoughts. Is their a built-in bias by Academy Award vores on exactly what types of movies take home the golden man statue. Sound of in comments below...

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: We all can be good for each other once we realize that our differences is what makes us stronger. And by the way, we don’t need a tiny gold medal to prove that.

:60 Pick Up Your Stones

In light of these very high profile sexual misconduct cases and of course the alleged hoax of the century. One must wonder, are the behaviors of these men a matter of isolated events. Or are these behaviors part of a deeper culture of suppression here in te states. And if so, please do pick up your stones.

:90 Im here to defend Christianity

It is not my job to play judge and jury with the lives of Robert Kelly, Robert Kraft and Jussie Smollett. But I do believe I am a stakeholder as a born again Christian to defend what Christianity is supposed to be. You know that 2000 or more years old religion taught by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ himself. So—- why Ā am I defending Christianity. Well—-Im defending it because there are alot of stone cold Christians out there that would analyze the sins of these three men and immediately cast proverbial stones. Just because their actd of pornoography, homosexuality, child porn, child abuse, fornication, lying and prostitution didn't make the headlines. They feel their lives are just alright.So—- I challenge you the listener whether Christian. Non christian or atheist. I challenge you to pick your headline. Make it go viral and see what America would feel about you.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Before we judge another man’s deeds please evaluate your owm.

:60 I Can't Breathe

We are living in a day and age where outrage is the new form of currency. The tidal wave that hits on social media can be damaging to an individual's career, mental health and livelihood. All it takes is one tweet or video to go viral and the whole world is outraged. Speaking of viral, this culture of shaming, blaming and casting guilt without factual evidence or a court of law is sickening.

:90 Suckas...

I don’t know the credibility to Jussie Smollett’s story. Hey, i was one to be immediately outraged by this heinous attack if in fact this is true. Less than a month ago there was outrage of a Native American and MAGA hat wearing kids. After just a day or two parts of that story had come to light. Are we all just suckas reacting like an angry digital mob, looking for the next sideways tweet to go viral. Are we being controlled but much more powerful entities of government to help us lose thought of the real reality that is happening around us? I pledge allegiance to outrage and all the mean tweets that bestols us.

Naww… we may not be pledging but we might as well grab our proverbial pitch forks and whatever we can find, because tonight we are going to find the next big thing to be outraged over. Suckas——-

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: None of us are perfect people and deserving of a second chance. Lets not be quick and complicit to judge another without all the facts.

:60 Have We No Respect For Our Fellow Man

Two weeks ago while most of the country was dealing with record freezing temperatures, there was a new record being set. Individuals were breaking records in Brooklyn's Ā M.D.C. is the Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal jail on the Brooklyn waterfront that houses more than 1,600 inmates. Many of them have not been convicted and are being held before trial. According to reports from Nytimes.com and various other outlets. These men were enduring 30 degree and below temperatures because of failing electricity and heaters in this federal facility.

:90 A Dog Gets More Love

The response to men having to use their own pee to try and keep warm brought both outrage in my soul and a cry for a country that has long treated America's minorities specifically black men as a little less than dog’s. It took the vocal voices of activist and the banging of windows by those incarcerated to bring attention to an issue that has plagued black America. This was also the teeth pulling needed to get the city of new york and the federal government involved in deploying blankets and other products to keep the men warm while the power company and others went to fix the issues of no-heat. But why in 21st century America did there have to be outrage in order to affect change. Are we not our brother's keeper? These are human beings locked up for crimes many didn’t even commit. But give a correction officer a little power over a person and watch them treat that person as less than human. Of course there are many good hard working people that are in corrections, but this culture of shaming and maming people while incarcerated must stop. Black men are an endangered species. When are we going to get our commercial. If people truly know our pain they would donate every dollar they have to our cause. We are human and we bleed red just like you.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: God made us all to be equal and he made us all beautiful and loving in our own right. There is a scripture that says how can we love God. That which we have never seen or touched before, but hate our brother. The one we do see every day.

:60 Poor Donald

President Donald J Trump made a complete mockery of himself this past Friday February 15th when he decided to have a very public briefing about his fake National Emergency. According to Donald Trump, there is an invasion at the southern border and all Americans should be frightened. As a matter of fact we should be shaking in our boots.Not only are the Mexicans taking over, but the mothership has landed. And oh, someone please call Will Smith to help save us.

:90 Faker than Fake

Not only was Donald Trump’s deranged press conference on the front lawn a true national emergency. Ā But #45 had the nerve to question nature of a question. He told one reporter simply that, that reporter was asking him a fake question. Wait—- hold your horses. A fake question? See I was taught in school while growing up that there is no such thing as a wrong or write question. According to Donald Trump, that’s not correct. Well it really shouldn’t surprise us considering the fact that Donald J Trump couldn’t even get a diploma at his own school. Yep, Trump Scam University.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: There will always be a boy that cries wolf to a group of sheep. But what happens when the wolf begins to cry and the sheep finally start listening?

:60 Monique, the Saga continues...

Watching Monique on The Breakfast Club, Sway in The Morning a number of other shows and now SteveTV, she makes me wonder what the hell is going on with Monique. Of course we all know the backlash moment between her, Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels. But what’s really going on with Monique. Its as if this industry has hurt, rejected and black balled her so bad, that she has lost a bit of her luster. Everytime she talks its like she is fighting for equal pay, and a myriad of other things. But because in some retrospect she comes off as the ā€˜angry black women’ people arent really listening to her.

:90 Integrity or Money

Monique and Steve Harvey have been at each other publicly and privately for a few months now and it all came to a hedge on Steve Harvey’s show this past Tuesday. At times the conversation was heated while both exemplified a love and respect for the other in the business of comedy and movie making. But what got alot of people upset with Steve is his ideology that to be black you must code switch. To those that dont know what Code Switching is quick definition is basically not being your true self Ā in your place of employment. I mean at some levels we all code switch. We generally dont speak to our husband and wives the same way we do our boss. But then Steve Iterated that hed rather be about his money to protect his family and wealth through the next generation than to have the integrity to speak up and or stand for something that you know is wrong. Mind you I am paraphrasing here. Im sure this clip is all over social media now for your own viewing pleasure. But this line had an aftershock for me. Initially i was like yeah—- you right Steve. Then i was like wait a minute isnt this what Colin Kaepernick been preaching the whole time. Sacrifice for something even if it means losing everything.

I don’t pretend to know Steve Harveys heart or what’s going on in his head. But i will say this, he and Monique both had some powerful view points in what they wanted to come across. I do believe she comes off as the winner of that convo not just on stage but on social media because of the fact that she has sacrificed and lost so much. And she aint code Switching for anyone.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Sacrifices and integrity will always trump money. Money comes and goes but a man that builds his life on integrity is a life that will withstand the hands of time.

:60 Retailers love this Scam

Does anyone know where valentines day originated from? When exactly did this 14th day of February become the sole day that lovers are told to appreciate each other. Millions of men and women across the U.S. are putting down their daily norms, renewing their vows and or just simply making love all in the name of valentines day. Its not too hard to see why people fall in the trap. While much of the pressure lies on the man to be able to one-up himself from last year.

:90 What Women Want?

A woman, at least a good woman wants more than a valentine's day parade. You profess your love to her today and the other 364 days out of the year you act like a turd. So—- not only are retail outlets scamming the men for a few extra bucks till the next holiday comes around. But the man is scamming the woman with his so-called good intentions. Hey, there is absolutely nothing wrong with showing your lady or man some love on valentines day while going the extra mile. My only beef with this holiday is the fact that if you are going to be Mr and Mrs Lovey Dubby today have that same energy tomorrow and the next day and the following day throughout the year.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Love does not need a special holiday to show compassion and to say that it cares. Love is what love does daily. ā¤ļø Happy Valentines Day to all the lovers out there.

:60 How many times can you say the word ā€˜Sex’

I remember growing up as a kid. Using the word sex, was like a cuss word used on another planet. It was widely forbidden, shunned and not to be talked about. Well---as a fifth grader going into middle school, I quickly realized a lot of kids were doing s-e-x and were making a mess. How many times can you say the word ā€˜sex’. Sex--Sex--Sex--Sex--- alright I have a show to do. But my point is that when you can release a thing into the atmosphere, it has no power over you. But growing up in the churches, they shunned the word as if everyone in the building were the virgin Mary. This is the reason why I believe sex sales.

:90 Sex Addict

Jada Pinkett Smith openly admitted that she was a habitual sex addict. I too have my struggles when it comes down to sexual addictions and identity. So---what drives these urges to want more and more sex, even at times when you are not quite in the mood. Well it's simple. Sex sales, and it sales well, especially when you have a boatload of money. Hawaii state legislatures are in talks to put a fee on pornorgraphy. A $20 fee they say will help curb youth watching porn and allow them to use the funds to help treat sex slaves and other victims of sexual abuse. Now, I’m all for helping those programs, but like any government bureaucrats that tend to see a cash cow from a business, I can see this imploding and being just another creative way to tax the citizens of Hawaii. And we all know the rates of entry will go up over time. They’ll probably get to a point they are spending 80% of those fees on administration and enforcement while less than 20% goes to the people it was designed to help the most.

But since they are betting on the fact that people watching more porn monthly than Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime put together. Well--- I’m sure they will have a lot of people paying this proposed new tax on sex. Because sex sells well. Not sure how they are truly going to enforce this especially if someone can simply just use a VPN.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: We as a society need to stop bashing the elements of sex. It's a good thing. God created it for our pleasure. Now as far as with whom and how you partake in sex, that’s between you and your creator. Have a sexy… um.. I meant blessed day.

:60 Lawmakers For Sale

Almost everyone knows that politics and law making is ruled by the almighty dollar, not practical things that will make real change in our local communities. In order to fix the criminal injustice system. We have to fix the very system that allows law makers to be influenced by lobbyist and ā€œspecial intereā€ Did you get that one ā€œspecial interestā€ well unfortunately they usually don’t have our ā€œspecial interestā€ in mind.

:90 Federal vs State vs Local

It's sort of an argument of which came first, the chicken or the egg. On the surface, the federal government and their ability to pass federal laws would seem to be one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Which is true. But contrary to popular belief. The laws that are directly black and brown people on a daily basis are usually coming from a state and local basis. For example recreational marijuana in California and Colorado based on state law means that individuals in these states will not go to jail for the same usage as they would here in Florida. Another example on a local level, some counties have a special ordinance against loud music, this is not a state or federal law, but local politicians have put these laws in place which disproportionately affect young black men. The same goes for sagging pants. I for one believe that state and local governments have a right to pass laws and or ordinances (which is usually superficial jargon) that are unique to their are and or territory. But what I am against is the blatant discriminatory agendas that many of these laws and or ordinances have against minorities. Therefore feeding the best known as the criminal injustice system.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Malcolm X was a man that understood that in order to counter the oppressors, you must first understand why you are fighting. Government in itself is an institution which fuels a beast that rides the coattails of majority black and hispanic people. It's time that our government whether local state or federal starts fighting for us, not against us.

:60 The thot You Know

I woke up this morning with a barrage of negativity. Negativity is like liars, it'll tell you what you want to think but at the end of the day its still a good lie. So what I believe my remedy to be in this time of sustained stress is a good thot. Yes you are not hearing me wrong.And to all the fellas that are listening right now. You know what im talking about.

:90 Whats a ā€˜good thot’?

A good thot is a woman that is not clingy and or super possessive. A women you can be friends with, have fun with and she be about her business and you go on with your life. A ā€˜good thot’ knows her place in your life and just like a lot of men. She does not like to be tied down in a relationship while she herself can also explore others that are out there. A good-thot like for you to at least pretend you care about her sometimes. But for the most part she knows she not about to get a valentine day gift from you . That would make y’all mutually non-exclusive sexual relationship too awkward. Last but not least a good-thot is still a women with feelings. Its only a matter of time when she’ll decide that she’s not impressed with you anymore and kick you to the curve. Or she’ll just conveniently place you to the back of her list of guys she hangs out with as pictured in Spike Lee’s Netflix reboot. ā€˜She’s Gotta Have it.ā€

So—-arw you looking to have a good-thot? Answer down below.

:30 Donald Trump Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Stress and the pride of life can have us feeling overwhelmed. The bible says its not good to be alone. Let your companion in on your life so that they can help you heal the broken pieces. I hope everyone can have a good-thot. And enjoy your day.

:60 Leaders You already Know

I believe that today’s new black leaders are a crop of individuals that are not preachers they are generally Open to thinking outside of the box and make many moves behind the scenes and some moves in front of the camera. These individuals are innovative communicative and have made a mark and impression on many lives today. They practice in many different areas of activism. One thing they all have in common, they are all agents for change for Black America.

Jay Z Ā Ā Ā Chance The Rapper Ā Ā Ā Meek Mill Charlamagne Tha God Shonda Rhymes Ava Duverney Andrew Gillum

:90 Just in Case you Didn't Know

Jay Z is a pioneer in the Hip-Hop Community. With multi-platinum albums charting everywhere. And must I mention sell out stadium concerts world-wide. But one thing for sure that makes him my pick for today's’ new black leaders is his social justice initiatives. Now to give him credit where credit is due, Jay-Z has for a length of time being doing social justice work behind the scenes. He helped pay for some of the legal help in the Trayvon Martin case, and he helped to bring awareness to Ā the injustices that were doing to Kalief Browder, and innocent that was locked up for a crime he did not commit. There is a documentary special about Kalief Browder airing on Netflix right now for which Jay-Z co-produces.

Meek Mill is a rapper Ā turned activist who has been on probation for the majority of his life. Meek Mill is also heavily influenced by Jay-Z. Meek Mill along with Jay Z and New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft have teamed together to create the Reform Alliance. Its a partnership to bring awareness to criminal justice reform and take action by helping to free inmates that have been wrongfully incarcerated.

Charlamagne Tha God pens himself as the prince of pissing people off. This is true he does have a way to get under people’s skin while on his wildly popular show, The Breakfast Club. I like his style and he commands a strong audience. What makes him a leader is his platform to invite and he himself speak on the issues that are affecting the black community, and oftentimes he gives us those golden nuggets unfiltered. He has published two best-selling books and which his most recent book ā€˜Shook One’ being the prescription that black people need in terms of uncovering the mental illness that plagues our communities.

Shonda Rhimes Shonda Lynn Rhimes is an American television producer, screenwriter, and author. She is best known as the showrunner—creator, head writer, and executive producer—of the television medical drama Grey's Anatomy, its spin-off Private Practice, and the political thriller series Scandal.She is influential as a black leader because of who she has decided to put in front of the screen and her dedication to diversity behind the scenes. It is important who we ā€œpeople of colorā€ see. Because I am one to know

{5 minutes with Mike is sponsored by SpeakPublishing International’s Best-Selling Book Ā Dying To Be Straight! Paul Stringer lives a life of chance after being sexually molested by his uncle, he must find the one thing that makes him whole again as he struggles with his identity like many other gay black men through the lure of homosexuality. Will Paul Stringer be able to put back the strings which were torn by his uncle or continue to face the burdens of homosexuality on his quest from gay to straight?

2015 BWABC Award Winning Author puts urban gay fiction on its heels with this highly rated and reviewed novel. It's a classic struggle of the battle between what the heart wants and the flesh desires.

{Available for purchase in ebook and paperback wherever books are sold. }

:60 Would You Rather Be Gay or Lesbian?

Well the answer to this would primarily be based on a number of factor. Primarily the equation of were you born as a male or female. Of course you yourself may identify as a number of lgbtq labels. But essentially the sex for which God created you as is the very core of this question. Which in retrospect gay or lesbian is practically the same thing. A lust and or liking for the same sex. Yet if you are a male and identify as gay and a female and identify as lesbian. This simple definition is miles away from what society sees as appropriate and acceptable.

:90 Masculinity Myths

Probably one of the primary reasons that gay and lesbian is miles apart is because of the misconceptions and or myths that are spoken about and expected of each gender. These myths are particularly in-tune and heavy in the african-american, hispanics and especially the caribbean islands. Myths such as ā€œreal men don't cry.ā€ Straight men cant give each other a hug. Straight men should have sex with multiple women to prove his manhood. Women ought to shut up, cook clean and take care of the babies. Now i'm not one to think that the way God designed male and female is for a unique purpose and one can do what the other can’t. I.e. no man in human history has ever Ā carried a baby for 9 months. Just not possible. We weren't built for that. And because these basic facts hold true it is more acceptable and ā€œappropriateā€ for a women to be in a same sex relationship with another women openly. While a man especially a gay black man is criticized ostracized and obscured to a point of darkness for which has perpetuated this DL lifestyle amongst minority men. A women says she’s leabian, guys says cool lets do a three some. Guy says hes gay, he’s told get the f up out my face nigga. And or threatened with violence like Jussie Smollett. These myths of male masculinity needs to stop, and what yo think as gay may not actually be gay at all.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

Dont judge a person by what you only see in the media. Give the person a chance to speak their own truths. You may just learn something.

:30 Take Em To Church: God loves the person, he just hates the sin. Like any sin that mankind commits it disappoint him. And before you throw stones, your very cousin, uncle, father or brother could be gay. They probably prefer to stay in the closet because they already know what you feel about them.

:60 Free 21 Savage

ICE—ICE Baby, Baby.The United States deports more people per capita than any other western civilization. We love cheap labor but hate when you stay longer than your visa. Just like the Visa card you swipe, ICE agents are everywhere you don’t want them to be. So I say Free 21 Savage and the thousands of children men and women stuck in border tents.

:90 Do Immigrants Commit More Crimes than Average Americans?

The answer is a resounding, No. Immigrants commit less crimes than your American born next door neighbor. Immigrants and or illegal aliens pay taxes like everyone else and support their local communities. Unfortunately we have a president that continues to pander to the extreme white nationalist side of his base that believes the only color in America is the white in our flag. Yet they forget the diversity and brilliance of the red and blue.Free the homie, the father 21 savage and all of the individuals that have been wrongfully rounded up for deportation by ICE—ICE Baby, Baby.

He came here not by his will but by his parents. Over 800,000 residents share his story and congress must act to make sure these anxieties that exist between ICE agents and good people is quelled.

:60 Please Ask and Tell

Just as sure as police departments across America urge our communities to see something, say something. I think they need to practice use of their own words by encouraging fellow officers to do just that. There are many good officers that put on the blue, yet unfortunately there are tyrants that where the uniform that terrorize our communities. We need to ask that the ā€˜good’ officers be the voice of change that rids the streets of these check collectors. Why? Because of any one becomes a police officer just to collect a check or to feel greater than another human being, then they are sorely missing the mark.

:90 Will All The Good Officers Please Stand UP

Just as a matter of full disclosure and transparency, my father who adopted me was a police officer for Miami-Dade County for 29 ½ years. He’s seen so much in his nearly 30 years of fighting crime and eventually teaching the D.A.R.E. program across the county. I’m sure my father wasn’t Mr. Perfect, yet he was a man of his community. He retired in 2009, 10 years ago and he still is seen as a beacon of hope and respect, 10 years after putting down the shield. As stated, my dad wasn’t perfect and I’m sure he had done things he probably would regret. But my father was a man of the community, a majority black community he and my mother still reside in today. It's going to take officers like him to be the voice for the voiceless and to speak up when their fellow officer is antagonizing the very taxpayer that gives these men and women jobs. Hey, the world as we know it needs a later of policing, at least good policing. If we are even going to start the criminal injustice debate, we must first start with the unjust sentences and officer receives or does not receive for killing a human being. Ā 

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church:Rodney Ā King once said, ā€œcan’t we all just get along.ā€ This declaration is true. But as fellow officers, you can’t go along with your brother in arms if he or she is causing undue harm to the very citizens you are sworn to protect.

:60 Why is it okay for a woman to beat up a man, but if a man does the same thing he is thrown under the jail?

I hate to have to talk about this today. But since that slow Superbowl Sunday game with the patriots becoming the victors over the Rams with a score of 13 to 3. I guess my five minutes is best suited talking about Bow Wows domestic abuse altercation. Especially since that half- time performance was easily forgettable. Congrats to Tom Brady on 6 Super Bowl Championships. You are truly a G.O.A.T. So let's talk about Bow Wow and the culture of Domestic violence against men.

:90 The Double Standards

It often goes beyond question that when a man puts his hand on a women, he’s going to jail and his career is ruined. A woman does the same thing, well that man gets memed. For a man, it's a damn if you do and damn if you don’t situation. And you don’t even have room to claim self defense. Men abused by women is nothing new. It's a rotten behavior that needs to stop now. Man gets thrown under the jail and the women gets a small tap on the wrist and told to go on with your life, that nigga will be aight. It's a shameful conditioning because many women know and understand that there is a double standard in these matters. I don’t condone these behaviors on either side of the fence. It took Chris Brown years to build back his fanbase and semi-public trust. The young lady that beault up Bow Wow. Well you’ll forget about her with yesterday’s news.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

This is Day 4 of Black History Month. What are you doing to keep the dream alive? Who will you influence this month to change the path of their history?

:30 Take Em To Church: Domestic violence by any sex is not okay. Abusing one another over a heated argument gets us nowhere but the jailhouse or the morgue.

:60 Has The Condom Ever Broke On You While Having Intercourse?

As you probably know one of the worst things that can happen to you is having random sex with a stranger and the condom breaks. Yes, it has happened to me. Not once not twice but at least three times in my young adult life. And believe… me when I tell you this. It was not good, at all. As a matter of fact it is one of the worst feelings in the world. It’ll make you want to run to the local health clinic or doctor the next day. But why exactly do condoms break? Condoms generally break because they were either exposed to too much heat, put on wrong and or no lube. And sometimes it could be the wrong type of lube used. Yeah… to my vaseline friends and foreign oils. Well… that’s a no go. Ā And why do we have sex with random people? (I’ll let the silence ensue on that one.

:90 Breaking Down My Newest Book ā€˜Dirty Negroes’

Dirty Negroes is in a class of gritty urban books for which I just kind of had the spark and or urge to write. My book ā€˜Suppy&Demand’ which was released last August was kind of the origin for a new genre for me to write in. All of my life I’ve written and published Christian, Poetry and Christian-ish books. And I’ve always kept it safe, being that I am a professed Christian myself. But I never wanted to be placed in a box and when I had the desire to write Supply&Demand I realized that in order to get the maximum value of relaness from my characters then they need to be able to cuss and have intimate sexual relationships and conversations. So--- ā€˜Dirty Negroes’ pretty much lends itself to some of the worse behaviors that you would find in the hood. Its about being in your face knowing what you are going to get kind of book. And because I have read these types of books all of my life. The thrill of writing this type of work surely gives a level of excitement and shows the structure of vulnerability that is also present within these young black male characters. I love these fast paced novelette’s and of course this is book #2 of Hood Boys Series. Book #1 is ā€˜The Black Out’. Ā 

:30 Take Em To Church: Some of us may need a little church in our lives, and we ought not judge a book by its cover. We live in a culture where random sex is acceptable but not practical. All of us are on this planet because either the condom broke or it wasn’t used at all. There is no such thing as illegitimate children, just illegitimate actions by their parents.

:60 Why do some white people carry this awful odor even after taking a shower?

Approximately six years ago while I lived a brief year in North Carolina, I had a white co-worker who was also my rommate that smelled like wet dog. He would shower for long periods of time, and hed come out the shower and my nostrils were never comfortable at that moment. I don’t know why, maybe its his skin type. But i must admit he isnt the only white male and or female Ā I smelled this obnoxious odor from. Is it just me, or is this a cultural phenomenon for which primarily affects some White European Americans? Please sound off in the comments below.

:90 Stereotype or Facts

When I was growing up in Miami, my fellow friends and or associates often made jokes of our Haitian brothers and sisters. They often make tart comments like HBO (Haitian Ā Body Odor) and other demeaning statements about Haitians for which I never thought were laughing matters. Now, was this just a matter of fodder, or was their some edge of truth to these senseless jokes?

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

One thing about fake news is that we can oftentimes spread falsehoods about each other without knowing the facts.

:30 Take Em To Church: We all bleed red no matter how strong an odor maybe. Human is what defines us, but perfection should never deny us. God made us all different in age, color and culture. We can be a more perfect union, even when we feel as though one race of people is inferior than another.

It boils my heart to hear about what happened to successful Fox Network Ā ā€˜Empire’ actor and soulful musician Jussie Smollett being a victim of hate early Tuesday morning. According to widespread news reports, Jussie Smollett was walking to a nearby subway in Chicago at 2 AM to get some food. This was the moment he was brutally attacked by allegedly two white males who he yelled racial and homoselxual epithats at Jussie while they beat him up and tied a noose around his neck. According to reports they also poured some strange chemical substance on him he was beaten up, reports have also surfaced according to TMZ.com that the two white men in ski mask yelled, ā€œThis is MAGA country.ā€ Referring to Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again campaign slogan.

:90 Three Strikes

There are three known stikes that are against actor Jussie Smollett every time he walks outside his home.

Strike one: Smollett is a black male. The very essence of his skin color has been viewed as in unofficial crime in America. Strike Two: Smollett is a gay male. The stigma of being a gay male whether it be bisexual, transexual, pansexual etc. It does not matter. The stigma of being a black gay male in America sparks the unthinkable. Many churches still haven’t come to grips with this, while their choir directors and others in high places in the church are practicing this lifestyle. Outside of the church you have supposed ā€˜heterosexual males’ that aren’t quite comfortable with their own sexual identity who lash out at the gay male for their own feelings of inadequacies. There is a smorgasbord list of males, including black males that identify as straight, yet they also entertain homosexual relationships. But because they don’t want the stigma of identifying with the judgment of being gay, they lash out and sometimes are verbally and physically abusive to those that do openly identify as gay. This happens even more radically when a ā€˜straight’ male none in the DL culture as trade is hit on by another male, when the ā€œstraight maleā€ has his female around. Strike Three: He’s famous. Smollett is one of a few famous black male faces that are out of the closet. Sure there are many famous faces that practice in the area of homosexuality, from actors, sports players, news anchors, comedians and other personalities, but because of the Hate We Give, many of these famous people will never come out.

Episode 0012: Can The Criminal Injustice System Be Reformed? Pt. 1

:30 Show Intro

:30 AD SPOT {5 minutes with Mike is sponsored by SpeakPublishing International’s book Dirty Negroes. This is book#2 in the Hood Boys Series. Roman Chase and his friends terrorize the Pine Hills Community. A majority black suburb of Orlando,Fl. A parent's worst fears and the neighborhood’s worse nightmare is told in this gritty Urban novelette. Coming Soon to E-Book!!!

:60 Living While Black

There are so many injustices that go on within poor brown and black people everyday. Honestly I don’t even know where to start. So Im going to start here. Each week Im going to bring a new subject of injustice that is affecting our communities and the question will always be. So—- what are we going to do about it. This is part 1 of what I hope to be once weekly 10 part series on the criminal injustice system. Todays topic is living while black. How many of you fear being pulled over by The cops. I mean get a natural ptsd type of moment just when the lights flash? Answer down below in the comments.

:90 Black Male

Societies view of the black male has always been one of fear and anger. While it also presents a feature of euphora because of the sexual organ we as black men carry between our legs. Now two things can be right, people can fear the ā€œblack maleā€ while still wanting to be with him sexually. Henceforth these topics are discussed in oneous in my fictional book Supply&Demand. The black male, especially young black men not only is viewed as a terror by other races, but also by blacks themselves. But let the record speak for itself. The majority if not 99% of all mass shootings are done by white males. And more blood shed has been spread by western European cultures than anyone else. The black male didn’t kill off native Americans to near extinction. And the way the history books narrate the enslavement of blacks from Africa is also deceptively wrong. So—- is the black male thats seen as the thug, drug dealer, sex addict etc really that bad for America. Or is it the medias job to suppress the good that these young black Kings do.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

This is probably the one and only thing that I can agree with that Donald J. Trump has said.

:30 Take Em To Church: There is no perfect race and or class of people. We are all guity of something, but to perpetuate a lie through 21st century enslavement based on radical stereotypes is wrong and it may just be the greatest form of injustice of all time. Free yourself through a book and watch God enhance your knowledgeable of who you are and whose you are. Be blessed.

:60 The Shutdown is Over, For Now

Wow… after over 35 days of intense BS over a border wall. Our big baby in chief has decided to end the Shutdown on this past Friday evening. Now grab the beer. Sip some wine and let the good times roll. Well— not so fast. Not only are there thousands of workers without a paycheck still. But—- this supposed Shutdown show can reply on Feb. 15 in three weeks if President Donald J Trump doesn’t get his way. He has already decalred this in his monologue.Geez… so much for the celebration.

:90 Where Do We Go From Here

Our federal government is in a huge disarray. It would be hard and practically impossible to get everyone to agree. This is the world as we know it. We are a government under siege. With the Russian investigation into election meddling and more, its hard to see the light at the end of the border. Lol. There has to be a comprehensive way for both the legislative branch and executive branch to work together in an more cohesive way than has been taking place the last 10 years. We need more legislators like a John Mcain that is willing to walk across the isle and stand for whats right no matter their party affiliation. Even in his death John Mcain can be seen as a pillar for what America could and should be. These government shutdown threaths at the risk of the lives of hundreds of thousands of federal workers lives has to stop.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

:30 Take Em To Church: Shutting down the entire government whether it be partially or whole because one man or woman doesn’t get their way not only should be seen as unconstitutional but also unamerican. This nation can be great, but it must first challenge itself to make sure all men are created equal in its strive for greatness. Power presented must be power checked. A check on power is what we as a nation have witnessed during this tumultuous government shutdown. Have a great day. Be blessed.

:60 Good Vibes

This past week has been a week of allegations, discontent, a shooting in Florida at a Bank, plus more. It's been enough bad news to for your eyes to pop out, everytime CNN puts up those Breaking News monichors on the screen. Yet, there has also been some great news in the spin cycle. People have been doing food drives and neighbors have just been helping their neighbors that are affected by the government shutdown. Along with food banks there have been donations of pampers and other supplies to help in the process. This week we celebrated the life of Dr. King and Facebook made sure to remind me of the many birthdays that were happening this week for which many I have yet to reply to. Lol. Babies were born this week, the sun rose and here I am thanking God for another day. These are some of the good vibes we need. Let's start the weekend off right. Ā Ā 

:90 What do you do for fun?

For myself I always enjoy going to see a good movie at the theatres. Now that the AMC at the mall near me has assigned seating and ultra comfortable seats that would make you go to sleep, I enjoy catching a good movie even better. I usually go to the theatres to see tent-pole movies such as Black Panther, Iron Man etc. I have not been to the theatre in a month, and hope that I can catch Aquaman while it's still there. Glass is also on my list. Other than that, there is nothing that beats a nice day in the park with my beautiful daughter, Mila. I also love traveling, my books have taken me far and wide, I love having those Ā Ā unique cultural experiences throughout the U.S.

Since, I am an Orland, Florida resident, I also love to go to the theme parks when I have the funds to do it. But most of my weekends generally consist of me working my day job, yep, I still have a day job, selling home security door to door. And when I’m not working, I enjoy writing and just relaxing at the house. I also get pleasure in cooking a good Ā Sunday dinner every now and then. So-- what do you do for fun? Leave your comments below, I’m interested to know. Especially what other 33 year old’s like me are doing for their entertainment.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

In light of Happy Friday. We won't promote any of the negative that comes from this President today.

:30 Take Em To Church: Life is a precious gem. Here today, gone tomorrow. This week we lost a young man, a year less than myself. His name is Kevin Barnett and he was the co-creator of the Fox Network comedy ā€˜Rel’. Every day I don’t live life as if its my last, but I live life to thank God for a new day. I know who my creator is, and I have a sneaky idea where my spirit and soul would go when He calls me home. 2019 for me is the year to Push. Break down those barriers of insignificance and move on to the dreams and goals God has placed within me. Mediocrity is no longer cute, and nor is it an option. Live life knowing that you’ll be okay no matter the outcome. God bless you this Friday. Have a great weekend.

:60 What Did Chris Brown Do?

In light of the recent allegations by a French women in France over the weekend. R&B Superstar and notably this generation's’ king of R&b was held by French authorities for approximately two days under the allegation of rape. Not only was Brown accused of such a heinous crime, but members of his security team and entourage as well. Now, this unidentified French woman described over 28 minutes of brutal pain and suffering. Sounds like an interracial porn flick you’d find on pornhub. Either way with all seriousness and to not take lightly any allegations of sexual abuse of any kind, the question remains… What did Chris Brown Do?

:90 Defamation of Character

Chris Brown was released from the French authorities two days preceding this recording. According to sources, the woman’s story is not adding up. As a footnote, Chris Brown tells a different story. His side of the story is the fact the he and his girlfriend along with his crew was in a hotel room enjoying themselves. He went on to instagram after being released to say that the allegations against him were totally false. So--- who do you believe? If you are a fan of Chris Brown, it's not hard to lean to his side. If you are a victim of abuse and or an activist against such sick behavior, then your weight would probably lean closer to the victim. However the circumstances maybe, and the cookies may crumble, one thing for sure, this could be another case of Defamation of character. The court of public opinion sometimes is much stronger than the court of law. O.J. Simpson still lives with the sting of public opinion, and that was over 20 years ago. R. Kelly has not been accused of a crime under the law, but he has sure been placed under the bus in light of the recent ā€˜Surviving R. Kelly’ Lifetime Docu-series. So---was it a snap in judgement on Chris Brown’s behalf, or did this woman make up some fairy tale story against Brown for a check and a little attention? Finally, did Chris Brown have some sort of contact with this woman? Our character is all that we have, especially in a social media politically correct generation of people. If his name was tarnished, then hey, sue the hell out of that women to falsely making those allegations. But if he did in fact rape this model, then he deserves the penalties and or jail time Ā that are afforded to every citizen under the laws of France.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

Flash back to the 2005 Access Hollywood sex tape.

ā€œGrab em by the pu***ā€

:30 Take Em To Church: We live in a world where extremes seem to be the norm. Everyone seems to be at a high temperature and no one wants to listen to the other. Neither of us were there that night this woman accused Chris Brown of these heinous allegations. Ā With that in mind, none of us can play, judge and jury on either side of the aisle. Leave that up to God and the authorities.

:60 Work For Free

The U.S Ā government shutdown has had a disastrous effect on Federal government employees. As of this podcast , the shutdown has entered record breaking territory with 32 days, 12 hours and 48 minutes. Yes, if you haven’t already heard by now, over 800,000 government employees are being hurt by this political stunt by Donald Trump. Now it’s considered a partial shut down because the military and essential government staff are still receiving paychecks. But for the average everyday American that is living paycheck to paycheck to feed their families, this shutdown has been a terrible disaster for their economic stability. And although many workers have been furloughed by the government, (told to stay home). Thousands of other verday working class citizens like the U.S.. Coast Guard, Border Patrol, TSA Agents, Irs Employees and even the FBI are being forced to work for free.

:90 Who Will Compromise?

Someone has to come to the tabe of compromise and divorce the ideologies that are not making America great. Both the Donald Trump led republicans and Nancy Pelosi’s leadership over the democrats in the house of representatives must see this fight to a finish today. Right now our congress and executive branch of government is playing a cold war with the lives of millions of Americans. Soon essential everyday programs like food stamps and urban housing will run out of funding unless both sides are willing to agree to write the check. U.S. democracy and diplomacy as we knew it died with the election of Donald J. Trump. But as bad as Trump has been, he isn’t the true outlier of what we see today. It all began with Reaganomics and the new deal. Republicans and democrats alike have been raising our nation's national debt to unsustainable levels. Bi-partisanship has gone out the window and it’s an every man take all situation in politics. Please Mr. President and Nancy Pelosi. Don’t play politics with the American people. Because there are real people out their that’s trying to build their homes, build their family, their savings. Not build a wall!!!

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL! This is the new theme, for two years until the Wall is finished (under construction now), of the Republican Party. Use it and pray!

:30 Take Em To Church: Walls were built to be broken. There is no human in history that has not figured out away to conquer walls in life. We as a people are better, stronger, and much more united than the way we are displayed on television. Just as the great MLK Ā believed that all men are created equal. I believe that we all are created to conquer the walls inside of us that seems to keep us apart.

Episode 0007: Hidden Homeless

Roman tends to live his life on the edge, he’ll purchase whatever he feels in his heart that money can buy. With his addiction to drugs and loose women, he’d spare no dime to get what he wants.

:60 Is your friend living the homeless life?

There are millions Ā of working men and women that are living a life on the edge. Many are working and can’t even pay their bills. Some are living right among us and you will never know. And they aren’t holding up a sign that saysā€¦ā€will work for foodā€ or ā€œpray for me I need some liquor.ā€ lol Either way they are well dressed, well groomed and manicured friends and family members that are lining up for a night in the shelter, they are economy hotel hoppers, Airbnb discount finders and some that just plainly live in their cars. Yes, for whatever the matter, and whatever the issue. These individuals are working men and women of society, but just as studies show 90% of Americans are just one check or so from living on the streets. Can you identify a friend or family member that’s homeless but not living under the bridge? Please tell your story in the comments below.

:90 The vultures are out

America as we know it has not been kind to those for which they deem as less than. The stares the poor receive are death defying. It doesn’t matter the story, it all ends the same. Animosity and a glorification of where you are in life, magnified by your own ideals of self-worth and insecruits mirrored by a mask of debt then you have what I like to call a human vulture. A human vulture is someone that would kill a man’s spirit and integrity while he is already down. They will look at someone and because they believe their situation is so much better, they will rip your soul to pieces if they can, just by a dirty, nasty, crazy stare.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

More

ā€œTrump could be the most honest president in modern history. When you look at the real barometer of presidential truthfulness, which is promise keeping, he is probably the most honest president in American history. He’s done exactly what he said he would do.ā€ Marc Thiessen, WPost

-Ummm… not so much in my book. But hey, you can take that however you want.

:30 Take Em To Church: The Bible says that a man that does not work, shall not eat. Well many of these hidden homeless do work, their jobs just aren’t working for them. Life gets in the way, and I believe in the scripture. But before you cast judgement on the next homeless man or woman you see, think about your best friend. Think about your brother or sister. Anyone of them can also be homeless. You just don’t know it.

Beckford. {Available now in paperback and ebook wherever books are sold. }

10 facts about Martin Luther King Jr. You Probably Never knew.

King’s birth name was Michael, not Martin.

This civil rights leader was born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929. In 1934, however, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his 5-year-old son.

  1. King entered college at the age of 15.

King was such a gifted student that he skipped grades nine and 12 before enrolling in 1944 at Morehouse College, the alma mater of his father and maternal grandfather. Although he was the son, grandson and great-grandson of Baptist ministers, King did not intend to follow the family vocation until Morehouse president Benjamin E. Mays, a noted theologian, convinced him otherwise. King was ordained before graduating college with a degree in sociology.

  1. King received his doctorate in systematic theology.

After earning a divinity degree from Pennsylvania’s Crozer Theological Seminary, King attended graduate school at Boston University, where he received his Ph.D. degree in 1955. The title of his dissertation was ā€œA Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman.ā€

  1. King’s ā€œI Have a Dreamā€ speech was not his first at the Lincoln Memorial.

Six years before his iconic oration at the March on Washington, King was among the civil rights leaders who spoke in the shadow of the Great Emancipator during the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on May 17, 1957. Before a crowd estimated at between 15,000 and 30,000, King delivered his first national address on the topic of voting rights. His speech, in which he urged America to ā€œgive us the ballot,ā€ drew strong reviews and positioned him at the forefront of the civil rights leadership.

  1. King was imprisoned nearly 30 times.

According to the King Center, the civil rights leader went to jail 29 times. He was arrested for acts of civil disobedience and on trumped-up charges, such as when he was jailed in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956 for driving 30 miles per hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone.

  1. King narrowly escaped an assassination attempt a decade before his death.

On September 20, 1958, King was in Harlem signing copies of his new book, ā€œStride Toward Freedom,ā€ in Blumstein’s department store when he was approached by Izola Ware Curry. The woman asked if he was Martin Luther King Jr. After he said yes, Curry said, ā€œI’ve been looking for you for five years,ā€ and she plunged a seven-inch letter opener into his chest. The tip of the blade came to rest alongside his aorta, and King underwent hours of delicate emergency surgery. Surgeons later told King

Episode 0005: Do You Have A Dream?

:30 AD SPOT {5 minutes with Mike is sponsored by SpeakPublishing International’s book Supply&Demand. A troubled teen from the Southside of Chicago gives an intimate account of his daily struggles and hustles as he strives to make something better of himself.

:90 Do You Have A Dream For Restoration Of Our People?

In light of the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr’s Ā National Holiday, I want to start by officially welcoming you to the launch of 5 Minutes With Mike. This is the 6th episode of our weekly podcast show and what better way to kick things off than to remember the civil rights Dr. King fought for, for all Americans. So--the question remains… Do you have a dream for the restoration of our people. A dream to restore thousands of black and brown people from the punitive Criminal Injustice System. Do You have a dream to make sure our fourteen year old boys aren’t fatally shot in the back with toy guns. Do you have a dream that pesky white men and women don’t call the cops on our young black men and women for doing seamlessly harmless things. Do you have a dream that citizens far and wide will get a fair shot in making America great. Not by some quintessential hat or t-shirts, but because of the sweat from eyebrows that our ancestors bore.

:60 Code Black

Martin Luther King Jr Ā stood on the highest platforms of identity politics than any other American preacher alive or dead as it relates to the matters of civil rights. Civil rights is not just about a class we take in social studies, get a passing grade and move on. Now… Civil rights is about our inalienable rights as a people and a nation state. It’s a right to keep government in check and to make sure that our governing bodies whether federal, state or local do not overstep their boundaries. Time and tim again we have seen oppression from all levels of government and it is sickening. There are God given rights that no government domestic or foreign can take away from any one of us. As we observe the legacy of Dr. King, let us understand that peace has not come without sacrifice. Just as he sacrificed his life to be a martyr for the many.

:35 Ā Donald Trump Ā Said What?

To all of the great people who are working so hard for your Country and not getting paid I say, THANK YOU - YOU ARE GREAT PATRIOTS! We must now work together, after decades of abuse, to finally fix the Humanitarian, Criminal & Drug Crisis at our Border. WE WILL WIN BIG!- As Taken from Twitter January 20, 2019

Not Sure if Donald J. Trump is more concerned about winning that individuals getting their paycheck. Based on his track record, I’ll have to say his concern more than likely lies in winning while all others suffer.

:30 Take Em To Church: Dr. King had a vision that the whole world had an opportunity to realize that indeed all men and women are created equal. But as I look at Ā country that gives police a slap on the wrist for killing our own. A president that has a hard time condemning white supremacy and the anxieties that still stand true today of living while black in America. It all makes

Middle Aged White Women are dialing 9-1-1 on black men, women, girls and boys of all ages.

The circus is making its grand tour from one city to the next as a disgruntled and or racist middle-aged white women has gone out there way to make a black man, woman or child’s life a living nightmare, and to leave an impression on these innocent victims of racism, bias and stereotypes for life. From BBQ Becky, Corner Store Caroline, Golf Cart Gail and the list goes on. There Ā is one thing that each cases have in common. Yes you guessed it, a moment for which a white woman believes her black counterpart does not belong. It is ridiculous. Just breathing while black is seen as crime. It is a great big world, and the dynamics of our world is changing. For individuals to continue to call the cops over seemingly innocent incidents is ridiculous and those that are making these false charges should be charged by the highest extent of the law.

It ain’t safe to be black in America?

Right now we are living in a culture where right now its not safe to be black in America. Especially a black man in America. The world which many of our parents and grandparents knew of the 60’s has returned like a venereal disease. And with the popularity of camera phones, Rodney King and Martin Luther King wold wake from their graves and shake their heads in shame. As a matter of fact both of the King's would probably say… ā€œDamn nigga ain’t hardly a damn thing changed.ā€ Yep, a lot of white people love to celebrate the likes of King and Muhammad Ali. But these two revolutionaries wouldn’t have no part of their half-hearted celebrations and ill intended speeches. Why? Because blacks are still being suppressed and oppressed by the police and profiled by BBQ Becky’s. It just aint safe to be black in America. Sorry white people, but i am a black male in America and its like I have to live by a totally different code in order to survive the ill intents of a small fraction of white America that still believes that I should count as ā…“ of a person. I believe overall that there is a large number of whites that want to see true change in America just as such there is only a small fraction of cops that are committing these heinous acts against our people. Yet the fact remains, we need more of the good cops and allies in the white community to speak up against these injustices against our people so that we too can feel safe in America.

Donald Trump Ā Said What?

Although I do not agree with Donald Trump’s comment on Elizabeth Warren Heritage. It does make me take a look back and think about doing a test to find out my exact heritage and or lineage. I'm surely not the heritage police, but I do question the legitimacy of Ms. Warren’s claims. Ā Donald Trump loves to call individuals LOW IQ maybe because he himself is suffering in that area.

Take Em To Church: Our world as we know it is changing by the heartbeat. And just like the beat of a heart we all bleed red. No one that needs a blood transfusion ask for the racial identity of the donor. No, they just want to make sure its the right blood type. America and the world, lets be a giver of love, and pump out the negativity of our lives. A black man babysitting kids or going up to his apartment is not a threat to your life. No, he’s just a man trying to make a hard earned living and live the American dream.
