Danny Morrison

Can I be honest? I’m all up in my feelings today. After reading news reports on two tragedies that have taken place in two major cities over the last few days, something made me want to come in and embrace the Kings and Queens listening to show you love when I KNOW people don’t tend to give you love very often.

The events I’m speaking of are the horrific fires that have taken place in Philadelphia and New York.

These stories tear at the pit of my stomach. Why? Because they involve poor people of color. Beautiful people that not only have to physically and mentally work hard to keep food on the table, but do it within a society originally constructed with systemic and institutional racism. Under the American guise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This country was NEVER constructed for us. Even though it was built BY us.

That’s why it breaks my heart when I see HARDWORKING Black people be thrown in the dumpster fire (so to speak) and regardless of how hard we work, we can STILL never get to the mountaintop.

Let’s talk about it.

We devoted a show to young Kings last Friday. Today… The young Queens.

This is an interesting topic. I can tell you judging from the conversations I have had with people through the years, the answers differ depending on the generation you come from.

So what gives?

Have we taken these restrictions off of our young Queens?

Do we feel that being too strict was having an adverse effect on them?

In our efforts to give them more freedom, have we possibly taken things too far?

And do you believe our lackadaisical parenting has led to young girls acting out in a way they never have before?

Society wants OUR children.

Is it winning? And is it too late?

Let’s talk about it.

I want to talk directly to the Queens that regularly listen to this broadcast today. No, I don’t want to turn this into another “Battle of the Sexes” conversation. Those debates are quite ubiquitous all throughout radio, TV, and social media this month as a lot of women are making New Year’s Resolutions to reset their love lives for the better.

No, I want to talk about YOU. Personally. And how you continue to overcome. Despite all the odds. I have a number of female African-American friends that are going through similar traumatic trials and I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of what THEY are going through is a shared sacrifice. And I’m also willing to bet that I can give you the Top 5 things that you’re dealing with. Things that are tinkering with your mental health as we speak. With statistical help from the Kaiser Family Foundation to prove it.

Let’s talk about it.

There is a LARGE segment of African-Americans that believe that buying historically feminine toys for boys is a questionable parenting philosophy.

Yes, they may consider themselves to be Liberal and Progressive people that vote Democrat in practically every election, yet they still feel that there is an intentional and concerted effort in America to emasculate the African-American male.

But does this fall in that category?

Is cooking still a “woman’s activity?”

Couldn’t this young King grow up to be a Head Chef in a restaurant, learn to cook Thanksgiving Dinner for his entire family, or simply fend for himself as he gets older?

Or are Black people (once again) unintentionally being caught up in the wave of progressivism even before we identify who we really are?

Let’s talk about it.

After watching the sudden public deterioration of a long-term celebrity marriage over the last week or so (Meagan Good & DeVon Franklin), it reminded me of a subject that we haven’t yet tapped into.

If you’re an avid listener to the program, you know that I fashion myself to be a man of faith. Not a perfect man. A simple man. A man “under perpetual spiritual construction.” And I want to spend Day 4 of my New Year’s Series this week talking about a topic that is arguably the most important in relation to everything we are talking about this week. Because without love for one another, Black life can’t flourish. We must be continually “pulling weeds and planting seeds.”

Ladies and Gentlemen…

Kings and Queens…

The topic I am referring to is…

Are women REEEEEEALLY looking for a God-fearing man? Or is it all talk?

Do women TRULY want a God-fearing man? Does a woman want a man that is all about that life?

Allow me to answer that question for you…

I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS NO.

I’ll explain. Tap in.

In order for us to reach the mountaintop of self-sufficiency, it’ll take a TREMENDOUS amount of resources to complete the task. History has shown us that our blind reliance on the government to allocate the necessary monies to our coffers to sustain our neighborhoods either leads to some form of miscommunication or blatant misappropriation.

But there is ONE ironclad, foolproof and guaranteed way that we African-Americans can ensure that we achieve the self-sustenance that we so richly deserve.

If we can FINALLY pull this off, I believe it will give us the financial and political capital necessary to make demands that could reinforce our positioning with American institutions for generations to come.

Ladies and Gentlemen…

Kings and Queens…

I’m talking about… Buying Black.

And it’ll bear more fruit than you might imagine. I’ll explain. Tap in.

"Middays with Danny Morrison."

Every weekday afternoon from 12pm-2pm.

On KBLA Talk 1580. LIVE from Los Angeles.

We've got a lot to talk about. ✊

Gun and gang violence in Chicago is at an all-time high. Yet, the issues in Chicago don’t absolve police officers from using the gun on African-Americans at a disproportionate rate. Some are trying to use one to excuse the other. AND I WILL HAVE NONE OF THAT.

We’ve got a lot to talk about. Tap in.

Air Date 1/4/22

About what MAY socially, racially and politically happen to African-Americans in the very near future. And a couple of my warnings may happen sooner rather than later. Especially with Biden and the Democrats dragging their collective heels. As usual.

I’ll break it all down. To kick off the year. Ride with your boy. We’ve got work to do.

The BIG way in which they are outshining us is something that we should ALL be extremely proud of. Not only because they are making the Black Community perform better than ever, but because they are even beating White America at its own game in various ways.

I’m talking about business. And to be more specific… I’m talking about BLACK Business. Let’s talk about it

I want us to spend this broadcast talking about the power of speech and whether we African-Americans are equipped to navigate through the firestorm of microaggressions, negative undertones and all-out SLURS that we will be subjected to as we progress further and further through this American “racial reckoning.”

I also will give you some prime examples on how to discern between what’s in-bounds and out-of-bounds. Join me.
