Mental Dialogue

TRUMP SUPPORTERS stormed the WHITE HOUSE this week in protest of an allegedly rigged election, but some of his supporters were waiving CONFEDERATE FLAGS and put up a NOOSE at the capital. Should this concern AFRICAN AMERICANS or was activist TAMIKA MALLORY correct when she tweeted "this is not our fight? Special guests, LISA DUDLEY & CHIEF X drops by to explore AFRICAN AMERICANS who are adamant about leaving the U.S to seek more opportunities in AFRICA versus BLACKS who still think their best chance to succeed is still in AMERICA. Are there more opportunities in AFRICA for AFRICAN AMERICANS or should BLACKS figure out ways to succeed in the U.S? Do some BLACKS feel oppressed, but remain because they are afraid to leave the comfort of America; or do some want to leave because they falsely romanticize what living in AFRICA would be like? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America’s afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

When BUSINESS OWNERS start their businesses one of the first questions they attempt to answer is what is the proper LEGAL STRUCTURE for their business. Our special guests are TERRY SIMMONS the CEO of T. Simmons and Company, an organizational design, and workforce development firm, that specializes in helping business owners scale their businesses to move from SELF-EMPLOYMENT to true OWNERSHIP; and JUSTIN HEMPSTEAD, a tax accountant and business owner who specializes in teaching ENTREPRENEURSHIP.  If you are the lone owner is SOLE PROPRIETOR or LLC the better structure?  When is it best to structure your business as a CORPORATION or as a S-CORP, and what is the biggest difference?  If your business is structured improperly how hard is it to switch it and what does it cost to change it?

This week KEVIN KELLEY owner of TRUE KITCHEN & KOCKTAILS was seen on video yelling obscenities towards customers who had been standing on tables in his restaurant TWERKING to MEGAN THEE STALLION's song Body.  He approached the customers several time politely before launching into his now gone VIRAL tirade, in which he made it clear that he was attempting to provide a quality & classy location geared for AFRICAN-AMERICANS.  Did the four women who initially ignored his request to stop standing on his tables, warrant his PROFANITY laced response as a BLACK BUSINESS OWNER? Was KELLEY forced into the tirade, and therefore was justified; or as a business owner is he still expected to respond with more restraint?

BLACK SOCRATES offers his version of a BUYING BLACK MANIFESTO for the BLACK COMMUNITY and invites his audience to not only critic the points in the manifesto, but to ask is it even necessary. Why don't other races and ethnic groups openly campaign in this manner, but AFRICAN AMERICANS do so quite often?  Are BLACK people too frivolous with their spending? Do AFRICAN AMERICANS support BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES (BOBs) enough?  Are BOBs up to standard to garner the support they need?  Are our expectations for BUYING BLACK realistic or too high?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

A 30 minute rant between BLACK SOCRATES & RENEE CARTER to how some BLACK BOYS raised by SINGLE MOTHERS, grow up as men and expect too much from the women their lives.  CARTER says she has found that some of these men grow up with a deep resent for their own mothers; and therefore they have a difficult time exploring a healthy relationship with BLACK WOMEN later in their lives.

If PASTOR JOHN GRAY'S wife cheated on him, would he forgive his wife this many times or would social media accuse her of being for the streets now?  Special guest, cognitive behavioral therapist, MARILYN ODUENYI, drops by to discuss men's egos when faced with INFIDELITY. Why do some men have a double standard when it comes to INFIDELITY? Do men and women cheat for different reasons? Are women actually better equipped to deal with INFIDELITY emotionally, or is it forced on them through SOCIAL CONDITIONING to give men a pass? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
