First we want to start off by saying R.I.P to 7 year old Jazmine Barnes. You was taken too soon and It sucks for you that the world was so cruel. This week we sit down and discuss two major things that happen in the black and brown community. Jazmine Barnes and the incident in McDonalds with a black woman and a white man. Then we discussed Lifetime's "Surviving R. Kelly" docu-series and The Opinionated shared two new artists he found on instagram. UPDATE: The people responsible for Jazmine Barnes death wasn't a white man but black men. One of the guys shot at the car thinking they was shooting at a rival gang. The fact still remains the same, we must do better as people and we still must organize to overcome. Subscribe/Rate/Follow/Share See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
