Mental Dialogue

It is often said the BLACK WOMAN is the most disrespected person in America, but some suggest that level of disrespect has shifted to the MASCULINE BLACK MAN in particular. Our special guests, diversity consultant, LATRICE ROSS, and relationship strategist VAUN THE LOVE ALCHEMIST  drop by to give their take. Are MASCULINE BLACK MEN still seen as a threat in America?  If the MASCULINE BLACK MAN is the most disrespected, how does that play out in MALE/FEMALE relationship dynamics?  Has there been a positive prominent MASCULINE male figure in the media since BILL COSBY? If not, why? Is this viewpoint only imagined by BLACK MEN simply due to the success of BLACK WOMEN in general? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask in the mainstream media? ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Special guests’ businessmen and investors WILLIAM AGNEW and MICHAEL SUTTLAR join me to discuss the various viewpoints on the KYRIE IRVING SUSPENSION. What did KYRIE do wrong, if anything?  Did KYRIE blackdown when he apologized? Does the NBA have the right to take his money over his comments? Are the requirements for his return sensible or ridiculous? Is KYRIE genuinely standing for something or being misled by the HEBREW ISRAELITES?  Can AFRICAN AMERICANS learn anything from how the JEWISH COMMUNITY protects its culture?

In the last two years, the U.S. has seen its highest spike in the MURDER RATE in 25 years, according to the CDC. Special guests, Certified Firearms Instructor TANGANYIKA DANIELS, and Emotional Intelligence Consultant, ALEASE WORD, drop by to discuss the rise in the MURDER RATE and what they think individuals and our society should do. During this surge in the MURDER RATE, it seems as if RAPPERS are being targeted, and unfortunately, this week TAKEOFF from the hip hop group the MIGOS was SHOT and KILLED. At times like this should rappers and the public consider getting TACTICAL FIREARMS TRAINING? Do more or fewer GUNS deter CRIME? Do our youth have less CONFLICT RESOLUTION skills and if so, WHY? Should we teach EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE in schools? MENTAL DIALOGUEi is  asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Special guests SHELLEY WYNTER, host of Word On The Street (WSB Radio), and EMILLE BRYANT, author and former Air Force officer drop by to discuss what is happening to KANYE WEST after his ANTI-SEMITIC comments. Do the companies and people separating themselves from YE in the aftermath show he was correct about the JEWISH COMMUNITY? In YE's attempt to ingratiate himself with the power structure, did he misunderstand the power of SYSTEMIC RACISM or is this something else? Do we truly understand SYSTEMIC RACISM and is it still pertinent today? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Special guests, psychotherapist DR GERALD HASSELL, author of The Impact of Father Absence on African American Boys, and Karate master teacher, DONALD ATCHISON, drops by to discuss how society views Black fathers. Currently, 43% of BLACK MEN live at home with their children 18 and under. Has the AFRICAN AMERICAN community normalized BLACK FATHERS raising children from outside the home?  What has been the overall effect on the BLACK COMMUNITY since this trend started in the 1970s? Are there any positive BLACK FATHER roles depicted in the media?  Does the marketing for recent movies such as THE WOMAN KING or the upcoming BLACK PANTHER II add to the erasure of strong BLACK FATHERS from society?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the question America's afraid to ask.

Special guest HILARY ROBERTS and special guest co-host AUTUMN SONATA drop by to discuss why BLACK CULTURE places SINGLE MOTHERS on a pedestal. In the past becoming a SINGLE BLACK MOTHER carried a great deal of shame in the BLACK COMMUNITY, but in 2022 SINGLE BLACK MOTHERS are celebrated as pillars of the community. Does this societal norm encourage women to become SINGLE MOTHERS? Despite this there are still many BLACK MEN who refuse to date SINGLE BLACK MOTHERS, why? Is MARRIAGE  considered harder than being a SINGLE MOTHER?  What about men who target SINGLE MOTHERS and their children? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.
