In today's political world the African-American vote is the hot topic, in my opinion it is the hot topic only during elections. The black vote is very important but do we as a people understand politics the way we need to and are we suckers for a name, in today's Podcast I vent a little about how we as a people always seem to get it wrong, we lost to Trump because we knew the Brand Clinton, this time around we are going with the Brand Biden. can someone help me understand even though we like brands, they're not always the best quality, so what happens we end up disappointed and also wasting money, but for this our VOTE.  

If we choose to stick with the Norm we will always be Status Quo, can we want better then what they give us.

I would like to Correct Jack Johnson's record He held the World Heavyweight Champion boxing title from 1908-1915 I said until 1950.

This Episode is about my Take on what we call Black History Month, I would like for everyone to take the time and listen to my feeling surrounding the state and mindset of my people and also understand the glory and admiration I have for my ANCESTOR, that live and died to make life better for us yet we don't really take advantage of there sacrifice. WAKE UP let us celebrate and honor the road they built and reinforce it through courage and bravery to do the things we are not comfortable with and make a conditional change for the future of all people world wide.

Kwamae Jones

Was a 17 year old who was working to get his GED. On Sunday, January 5th, he was shot multiple times by a white, 28 year old JSO Officer Nicholas E. Lawson.

“The Sheriff's Office said this was Lawson's first officer-involved shooting after being on the force for a year and seven months. He was wearing a body camera. But the department has not released any of the shooting footage as Jones' family and the Jacksonville Community Action Committee have demanded it.

The shooting has garnered a loud community response. An estimated 100 people attended a Jan. 17 vigil at Moncrief and 45th, many demanding justice for Jones.

Jones' death was the first of two officer-involved shootings this year in Jacksonville, both involving multiple young black men.”

Support the Jacksonville Community Action Committee. A black led, grassroots organization created to fight for justice and liberation.
