  • The Blk Tax : Independence Day for who?
    Have you noticed that July 4 is not celebrated in the same way by all Americans? In fact, for African-Americans, this date has a different meaning. It can be a bit more complicated for African Americans because there are many things that they won't be celebrating this year. Many racial injustices in America still need to be addressed. The Fourth of July marks the day when America's founding fathers made their stand against tyranny and injustice from Great Britain but not inside their borders. Join LaVeist and Claville as they talk about July 4, Independence day for who.

  • Justice McConnell: The Lasting Impact on the Courts



    Senator Mitch McConnell stated that the Federal Judiciary was his top priority. During the Trump administration, Senator McConnell and the Republican Party were able to approve and Trump appoints almost 1/3 of the entire federal judiciary. Three Justices were appointed to the U.S. Supreme, but overall the Appellate and District Federal Courts were dramatically reshaped with over 223 appointees. With the average age on the lower courts Justices being 48 years old and the U.S. Supreme Court Justice's average age being 55 years old the impact of their decisions will last for decades. Join us on The ClaVille Report as we discuss the impact of Mitch McConnell's plan on the Judicial Branch and the United States.

  • The BLK Tax : Living Middle Class

    The Black Middle-Class is a demographic that some may not know about. Living in the suburbs can be easier for African Americans, but there are also plenty of situations where it's less than ideal. Does this leave them with less social interaction and cultural exposure than those who live in urban areas? And when African Americans finally get to experience some relaxation from being watched constantly by society, does true peace really occur when they pull into their driveways. Join LaVeist and Claville as they talk about their experiences of living and raising a family in suburbia.

  • The Blk Tax : BLK Fatherhood
    With fatherhood, come moments of both joy and pain (did someone say child support?) But fatherhood can be particularly taxing for Black dads because of the weight of negative stereotypes. The majority of Black dads do right by their children, but still have to bear the damage caused by their deadbeat brethren. Black dads live under the constant stigma that all of us "ain't no good" and are destined to be "absentee fathers." The stigma is so readily accepted that many single mothers have been duped into believing they should be celebrated on Father's Day too!. LaVeist and Claville discuss how they've dealt with it.

  • The Judicial Branch of the United States Explained


    The founding fathers created three important branches of government in our Constitution. One of those branches is the Judicial Branch. This branch provides the ultimate check and balance between laws and public policy and other branches of government. The U.S. Supreme Court is the final arbiter of federal cases, but how hard is it to get have our case heard in this court? How many levels of federal courts must one go through to reach the U.S. Supreme Court? How inevitable is it that your case will be heard? Join us on The ClaVille Report as we discuss the Judicial Branch and the U.S. Supreme Court.
