;new advadsCfpAd( 35245 );

BTR News - Welcome to another BTR News w/ Scotty Reid segment. BTR News Contributor Kwabena Rasuli, the founder of Clear The Airwaves Project, a radio DJ joined the podcast. We are in conversation about the launch of the "Respect Us Campaign" which kicked off on Saturday, March 16, 2019, with a public forum in New York City that was broadcast on WBAI FM radio. The campaign is sponsored in part by National Congress of Black Women and National Black Leadership Alliance.

An appeal was made to the Black listening audience to participate in what they are calling “Sanction Sunday,”. The very next day on Sunday, March 17, Participating church pastors called on their congregations to withdraw their dollars from Subway restaurants and Kohl’s Department Store on the weekend of March 23 & 24th. The "Respect US Campaign" says it is using political tools by leveraging the consumption habits of the Black Community and its allies against the corporations who support radio music programming that degrades and dehumanizes Black people and especially women.

Speaking of women and music that degrades and glorifies and therefore encourages anti-Black social behavior through music, a rapper and former stripper who grew up in impoverished conditions is on the hot seat for video confessions about crimes she committed against men she met in strip clubs. While not seemingly boasting about her crimes, Cardi B seemed to rationalize her behavior by suggesting that is what she had to do in order to pay for studio time to record music. Some in the social media sphere have compared her case to Bill Cosby.

In numerous video confession tapes including the Breakfast Club, Cardi B admitted to drugging victims under the pretense of a private sexual encounter, described raping them by "tranny" which is additionally rape by deception, and then robbing her victims of all their cash and other valuables.  Kwabena also discussed the type of behavior glorified in Cardi B's music tracks and shared his thoughts on this latest revelation from the ratchet "Urban Radio".

Black Talk Radio News - The cable news media and law & order types who seemingly believe the answer to resolving non-violent alleged offenses is to prosecute, convict and sentence to people to prison slavery.  This sort of tough on crime" mentality related to the Jussie Smollett case is on display heavily on right-leaning networks and blogs but calls for punishment from so-called left-leaning cable news contributors and hosts.

Joining us on this BTR News Brief is Roy Fleming.  Mr. Fleming is a progressive prosecutorial political consultant and strategist "who is a lawyer fighting to end mass incarceration". You can find out more about the services Mr. Fleming provides at foglightstrategies.org.

We will take a look at and discuss recent news concerning the actor Jussie Smollett who stood accused and charged for allegedly staging a hate crime in Chicago. According to Chicago news media outlet WGN,

 

Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against actor Jussie Smollett Tuesday. He had been charged with 16 counts of disorderly conduct after Chicago police say he staged a racial and homophobic attack in the city in January. Those charges will be now be wiped from Smollett's record. Smollett performed recent community service, Monday and Saturday, with the Rainbow Push Coalition. They wrote a letter presented in court, along with the Black AIDS Foundation and Lyric Opera of Chicago, standing up for Smollett's character.

Take a listen and share these perspectives on the recent developments in the case and speculation on what led to the drop charges.

BTR News w/ Scotty T. Reid - US Senator Kamala Harris made a bold statement after praising California Governor Gavin Newsom for placing a halt by executive order to prisoner executions in the state with the world's largest death row population.  Harris would late state to NPR that if she were to become President, no person would be executed in the United States. Where does Senator Harris stack up to other Presidential candidates when it comes to the issue of the death penalty, what many activists have called state-sanctioned pre-meditated murder.

Where do front runners for the DNC nomination, US Senator Bernie Sanders and former VP Joe Biden, stack up to Harris and President Trump on the killing of prisoners who may or may not be guilty of the crimes the state accused them and convicted them on?
