Black FreeThinkers

Please join us Sunday, October 23, 2011 @ 1PM CST to discuss the neo-atheist movement.

What is the neo-atheist movement? What role do you play in this movement? What role would you like to play? How has this movement impacted your beliefs and life? Had you ever interacted with an atheist before this movement? Had stereotypes regarding atheism prejudiced your views? Are there defined roles and responsibilities within the neo-atheist movement? Should social justice be a factor in the neo-atheist movement? Is a solutions based neo-atheist movement feasible? Is anarchy a viable solution within the neo-atheist movement? Should we turn a blind eye to those causing irreparable harm to themselves and/or others? Do we have a responsibility to correct others?

NEW ALBUM, "AS ABOVE, SO BELOW" released February 2011!!!

 

Anthony David is a Grammy nominated Neo Soul singer/songwriter out of Atlanta GA. Raised in Savannah, Anthony moved to Atlanta after a short stint in the US Army, and began pursuing his career in music. Immediately upon arriving, Anthony met India Arie, and began penning songs and performing locally, gaining a large local following.

 

David wrote Part of my life, on Arie’s grammy award winning album Acoustic Soul, as well as producing tunes on her follow up albums, and toured with her as a backing vocalist.

 

Shortly after, he joined friends Cufi and Cosmo to form the funk/rap outfit, El Pus, and participated in the recording of their Virgin records debut, Hoodlum Rock.

 

Embarking on a solo career in 2004, Anthony signed to indie label Brash Music, and released two albums 3 Chords & The Truth, and The Red Clay Chronicles . Via licensing deals with Dome records in Europe, and in Village Again Records Japan, David toured internationally and gained critical acclaim throughout.

 

Universal Records came calling in 2008, and released a compilation of the two indie records, titling the album Acey Duecy.

Please join us Sunday, October 2, 2011 as we discuss family expectations and dysfunctions. 

 

Unlimited forgiveness is demanded in some families. 

Is blood really thicker than water? 

What compels some to acquiesce to family expectations?

Are we required to love relatives who deliberately hurt & malign us?

Please join Mandisa Thomas, Black Non-Believers of Atlanta, and I to discuss the fundamental aspects of the Troy Davis, Reggie Clemons, Humberto Leal Garcia, Samuel David Crowe, and Edward Earl Johnson cases.

 

The difference between a pardon vs a clemency. The difference between evidence presented in a criminal case vs a civil case. Let's discuss being proactive vs reactive in situations.

 

Going forward, are you going to be apathetic or action  oriented?

Open Conversation!  Call in.

Please join us Sunday, September 4, 2011 as we motivate and celebrate the youth and young adults in the freethought movement. This is the first in a series of shows that we will feature. Please reach out and let them know that they have our support and encouragement.

 

We will feature the music of MC Brooks & Imani the Misfit.  We also will discuss relevent issues and topics with Toshon, Dries, Tim, Jean and our listening audience.

 

Please call in to encourage and motivate them as they evolve and develop.

Mandisa Thomas of the Black Non-Believers of Atlanta (BNOA) will be our guest host this Sunday.

Blacks account for over 500,000 cases of HIV out of the 1.1 million cases in America.

The AIDS diagnosis for Blacks is 9 times than that of whites.

Per the Kaiser Foundation, in 2009 only 33% of African Americans claim that they have heard of AIDS as compared to 62% in 2004.

Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/IDS since the epidemic beginning, and that disparity has deepened over time.

In the Black community, HIV impacts women, youth, gay, and bi-sexual men the most.

Why has the Black church not stepped up to educate and assist the community that it claims to represent, love, and reside in?

On Sunday, August 21, 2011, Black FreeThinkers will be broadcasting the Black Non-Believers of Atlanta's General meeting and informational. 

 

This will be an interactve formal introduction of Black Non-Believers of Atlanta to the freethought community.

 

Please call in with questions.  BNOA will be more than happy to answer them and give you more information about their organization.
