Mental Dialogue

In various discussions about INTERSECTIONALITY in society, some BLACK MEN feel their voice is unwanted. On a personal level, inside of relationships discussions when some honorable BLACK MEN offer their genuine input they are often shut down to the point where they now avoid conversations in which their input could be useful. Are BLACK MEN’S thoughts & opinions welcomed in society today? Do some men hide behind being voiceless as an excuse to be MISOGYNISTIC? Is there a way to balance conversations between BLACK MEN and WOMEN so that both feel thoroughly heard? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Special guests co-host, TWYMEIKA "JENDAYI" JONES-HILL, and founder of BLACK GROWN AND MARRIED, along with KOTTAVEI (DIVORCED and CONTENT), drop by to discuss why people are choosing or not choosing to MARRY.  Do people MARRY for different reasons than in the past? Is MARRIAGE still seen as a benefit for men and women?  Is marrying for LOVE sustainable? Are there long-term consequences of an unfavorable view of MARRIAGE, specifically in the BLACK COMMUNITY?

Diversity consultant and special guest co-host LATRICE ROSS drops by to have a candid conversation about women who make more money than their mates in their RELATIONSHIPS or MARRIAGES. When women are the breadwinners in the relationship, do most expect to so-call wear the pants?  Are most BLACK MEN's egos too fragile to handle when their woman makes more?  As BLACK WOMEN earn more, do they find fewer opportunities to find mates?  How do couples with this dynamic successfully thrive?  Has the career pursuit of INDEPENDENT BLACK WOMEN caused a rift in the BLACK FAMILY dynamic?

MENTAL DIALOGUE is the RETURN OF INTELLIGENT RADIO as we push the envelope on the QUESTIONS AMERICA'S AFRAID TO ASK.  This Saturday (Oct 10) 10am-12noon EST, BLACK SOCRATES and co-host CHRISTY GAYNELL explore GUN CONTROL in America.  After the mass shooting in Oregon is BARACK OBAMA'S call for stricter GUN CONTROL laws warranted or just a tactic for the GOVERNMENT to disarm its citizens?  Should we ban automatic weapons, or does such a ban go against the spirit of the 2nd Ammendment only to leave good citizens unprotected from not only criminals, but the GOVERNMENT itself?  At the top of the 2nd hour for the MONEY & POWER 15 (11:00-11:15am EST), we bring on commodities trading advisor, MICHAEL SUTTLAR, to discuss the benefits of parents taking out LIFE INSURANCE,  especially on BLACK CHILDREN in places like CHICAGO, DETROIT, PHILADEPHIA, and any urban metro area with a high rate of GUN VIOLENCE.  "ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK"

As a long-time champion of supporting BLACK BUSINESS, BLACK SOCRATES invites BUSINESS CREDIT specialist, LISA DUDLEY and Black Dot Cultural Center owner, KAZEMDE AJAMU, along with special guest co-host OSHUN OJOH to discuss BLACK SOCRATES'S disappointment with how some of our BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES (BOBs) conduct business. We ask our guests is there a solution to this recurring theme and how can it be addressed? Is it possible BLACK BUSINESS OWNERS are wearing too many hats in their business? Would STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPs) help? Should we distinguish actual BUSINESS OWNERS from SELF-EMPLOYED FREELANCERS? Do we unfairly stigmatize our BOBS?

Special guest, LAMONT “MONTEE” EVANS, author of “Recovering The Gifted Child Within” & special guests co-host DR. TIFFANY KING (research psychologist) drops by to discuss how we often lose our childhood gifts as adults and how we can find ourselves again. Do we live out our childhood trauma as adults if we never face it? Do we mistakenly project onto others our bad behavior, due to our inner childhood wounds? How do our inner childhood wounds rob us of our happiness and fulfillment? Mental Dialogue asking the questions America’s afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Special guest MARK ANTHONY from the Black Men And Cigars podcast drops by to discuss BLACK MEN and ACCOUNTABILITY. Whenever BLACK WOMEN feel unprotected, GOOD BROTHERS often feel disrespected since they honor and protect women. Would BLACK MEN holding one another more accountable rid our culture of these undisciplined, and dangerous men?  What role does MISOGYNY play in the accountability of men? Are there other factors that limit one man from checking another? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Special guest, FRANK RIVERS, host of Views From The Man Cave, drops by to discuss the habit of TRAUMA BONDING over issues of GENDER, POLITICS, RACE, or CULTURE amongst the BLACK COMMUNITY. Whether it is the YOUNG THUG INDICTMENT, KELVIN SAMUEL'S PASSING, the BUFFALO SHOOTING, or JOE BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY the BLACK COMMUNITY'S response seems to be to discuss incessantly without action. Do we control our own narrative? Should there be a COLLECTIVE RESPONSE, or should we focus individually on progress? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.

NOTE: THIS SHOW WILL CONCLUDE WITH A SOLUTION TO POLICE BRUTALITY!!!  After the KORRYN GAINES standoff it was discovered that her boyfriend escaped with his son, before the police shot and killed her.  Some argued her boyfriend was cowardly, while others stated her actions were to disturbing to support.  As a result on social media some women questioned did BLACK MEN support BLACK WOMEN, the same as Black women support Black men; and a few BLACK FEMINIST stated they were done with Black men altogether.  Does this gender war lead to dysfunctional relationships and marriages?   If so, how does this dynamic effect the BLACK community in general?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.    "ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK"
