Amazon recently declared that children's toys will no longer be separated by gender. No more trucks for boys or dolls for girls... Everyone plays with everything. 

Which led us into a debate...

Are gender role assignments crucial to mental health and stability... Especially in communities of color? 

Are gender "roles" even fair? Shouldn't everyone assume whatever "role" they must to ensure life liberty and happiness? Or are these "roles" the very glue that binds our society?

Interesting.

It's seems we have been remiss in constantly blaming the police for the treatment of Black folk here in America. What we have not done is place the blame solely at the feet of the people to whom it rightfully belongs... THE PEOPLE themselves. 

This week I came across a forum of Police officers who told the REAL DEAL about racism. The majority of the incidents that happen are perpetrated by "concerned white citizens" who think that a Black man in Walmart is suspicious, that an 11 year old child with a toy gun is a mass murderer, that a brown person jump starting his own car on his own property is robbing the neighborhood.

White America is the catalyst for the murder and mayhem exacted on Black America. This episode we will prove it. 

It's time to put a case on all your asses.

The most polarizing debate to come out of everything that happened following Freddie Gray's death, is the mother who was caught on video hemming her son up for joining the protests calling for justice for Freddie Gray. 

The question : is she truly #MomOfTheYear or was she wrong to stifle and castrate the spirit of revolution in a young Black male standing up for the lives of his people?

and so does the cycle of violence against Black people by the police.  Regardless of any criminal activity – every American – regardless of color – is entitled to life and liberty… emphasis on LIFE.

The Baltimore police department has spent billions settling brutality cases for their overzealous police force.. but that hasn’t stopped the killings.  The people are once again rioting (which as Martin said is  “the language of the unheard”) but that isn’t helping either.. we need a plan and we need it now..

what will it take for a Black life to matter?

It is a rare case that the MadMen are wrong... But when we are.... we sit down and admit our mistake. Such is the position we find ourselves in with the curious case of Anthony Stokes. 

The entire nation championed for this young man, who was denied a heart transplant by an Atlanta hospital due to his history of "non-compliance" (aka n*gga shenanigans). The story became national news as the "Negro mafia" (including us) took to protesting en masse- calling it racism. 

And now, in light of the outcome, we call ourselves out. Where we wrong? Was it really racism? 

Tune in Tuesday and find out what happened to Anthony Stokes and if sometimes... A spade is a spade.

Black lives matter.. All lives In fact. 

What incidents determine when a person's life should be taken from them? What is the barometer?

Another unarmed man (Black) was shot in the back 8 times as he fled from being arrested for child support. Yet another unarmed citizen was told "F*ck Yo Breath" by the police after he was shot for running away from officers. 

We are now apparently entering into the "granny get yo gun" phase of justice.  If you are Black, you better not run, stand still, reach for anything or breathe... it's hunting season and a #BlackLifeMatters only when there is corporate backing.

But are there instance where taking someone's life is completely justified? 

Join us and hear the debate.

the revolution of the mind continues...

There is a school of thought that follows the argument that if people did not resist arrest, the levels of brutality and deaths we see (like that of Eric Garner) would not happen.

The MadMen debate this argument this week. Is resistance really the true justification for the brutality metered out in the Black populace? Is blind surrender the only option we as Americans have - even when our very freedom is at stake?

We have seen people use the popular site "Go Fund Me" for amazing causes... But recently we have seen a proliferation of "causes" that someone may need to Cath a case for...

Most recently Azel Ball who raised funds to "save his relationship". The MadMan debate is this a good way for humans to share the love and support each other through hard personal times or does Azel need to go sit his Black ass down somewhere?

Join us as we dissect the story and make a determination.

This week we learned of Bryon Allen's 20 Billion dollar lawsuit against Al Sharpton, Comcast and Time Warner Cable for racial discrimination against Black Owned media companies. 

Byron went in Madman style -and slut shamed Sharpton - but is his beef with Sharpton fair? Is Sharpton the "least expensive negro" and a "pawn" or is he just playing according to the rules of corporate America, while getting his paper and keeping the dialogue about race open?

This week we debate hip hop and the legal claim that an artists' words can be used against him in the court of law. 

This week we look at the case of Tiny Doo... A rapper who detailed the crimes of his associates (who were gang members) and profited from rapping about it. He is now facing life in prison. Should he also be held accountable or should he have protection under the law of free speech?
