In this podcast episode we sat down with three generations of educated, middle class African-Americans to discuss politics and the issues that will determine their votes in 2020. It's a rare opportunity to hear such a candid conversation on this topic. With African Americans making up between 25 to 38% of the democratic base, party leaders would be wise to listen to such voices. There are some audio issues throughout the episode, so thank you for your patience. We want to thank all of the participants in this discussion. https://gethappywithj.com/ https://www.facebook.com/gethappywithj/

There seem to be an overwhelming number of church scandals featured on social media these days. It would make one wonder if Christianity is in crisis. Evangelicals such as Pastor Paula White are under scrutiny for their acceptance and support of Donald Trump, regardless of his lack of moral character. Hip Hop legend Kanye West's foray into gospel music and his Sunday service experience has received both praise and skepticism. I watched his Sunday Service at Pastor Joel Osteen's church last week, and I have to admit I enjoyed it. Say what you will about Kanye's motive or state of mind, his choir is phenomenal. Do you find it hard to maintain your faith in what seems like chaos? We discuss it all in this show.

Freedom of speech is under attack as never before, and what makes the future more bleak is the fact that many of the perpetrators are college students at campuses all across the country.

America is quickly becoming intolerant and taking political correctness to levels no one can achieve or maintain. Take a listen to this podcast episode and join the conversation.
