Dr. Ken Harris opens Truth in the Afternoon with a message for Truth Nation: meritocracy is not a myth. He argues that one of the greatest strengths in the Black community is entrepreneurship — the power to build something from nothing — and that calling merit a myth is just fear talking. Then NYGP joins for sports talk, covering the Packers, Badgers, and Bucks before the conversation turns to the shocking Slender Man update. Dr. Ken calls out how the media downplayed the story of the teen who cut off her ankle monitor, framing her felony escape as if she “went missing.” He and listeners discuss how different that coverage would’ve been if she were Black, exposing another example of bias in plain sight.
