Gumbo Talk: Protests aren't Peaceful
June 26, 2020 01:00 - 45 minutes - 41 MBThis episode is fluid and open to public commentary. I will be coming from experience as a long time Civil Rights and Human Rights leader as to how I've seen the world change with protests. Some things work better than others, but I don't discredit anyones methods. I choose to do my forms of civil disobedience how I feel my effort is most efficient and effective. I plan to last long enough that it will sting long past the name or the day of unrest.
We Need to Stop Acting like Slaves!!! When it is Time to Vote!!!
June 24, 2020 00:30 - 2 hours - 110 MBLet"s have an open discussion about true politics. Because if you are true to yourself. You will always know the Pontiac two-step. Everyone wants to change but our representatives we send to Washington quickly learn to two-step with the party lines. Most vote for their own best interest. This will not change unless we demand more from them. Stop voting on name recognition and giving them a retirement fund at your cost. Start voting for a candidate that runs on his or her accomplishments whil...

June 17, 2020 00:30 - 2 hours - 109 MBThe sun rises and sets on a daily basis. In 2020 just as the sun rise and set, another black male is gunned down by another ruthless police officer. In the Black Community, WE KNOW ALL COPS ARENT BAD but we also know all COPS AINT GOOD. America is fighting two pandemic in 2020, covid 19 and racism. They both seem to be killing black Americans at a faster pace than any other race in the U.S. We know that the police is suppose to PROTECT and SERVE. The question that raised now in 2020 is who a...

June 10, 2020 00:30 - 2 hours - 110 MBDo We really know what's at Stake ? What is it that we are marching for. What policies need changing. Are you willing to help with that change. If so, what. Are you willing to run for office or get politically, socially involved in your community. Are you willing to challenge your church, your pastor that the ministry is outside of the 4 walls.

Will mere words ever change the plight of Black People???
June 03, 2020 00:30 - 2 hours - 110 MBI wrote this in reply to a post. I thought it was worth seeing again I was not going to way in on this discussion. Here are my thoughts. We have heard great one-liner's at many Black funerals across America. You feel good when you hear it. Always followed by what we are going to do next. Jessie and Al have been around for a long time. Nothing has gotten any better. They will be dead and gone. Somebody will want to raise from the dead to speak at another funeral. What we going to do next has n...
Gumbo Talk: Anyone can have the answer.
May 29, 2020 01:00 - 1 hour - 54.5 MBOne thing that I've learned in life is that I don't have all the answers. I often communicate with intelligent individuals, but they don't always have the answers either. Google can be a great resource, but it doesn't answer everything either. What I have learned is that the answers are made available to us if we just listen. Whether its an elder, a pesky street guy, your mother, a deceased relative, a child, or your higher power; any one of them could resolve your inquiry with a simple liste...
Are we to Black to be consider a Human??? IE: Trump, Police & Government
May 27, 2020 00:30 - 2 hours - 109 MBThis week has been challenging for me. I watched as a brother was being killed on Facebook live by Police officers. Not one police step to aid him as citizens recorded the scene. In fear of their life there was nothing the bystanders could have done. Somehow in America we are not allowed to do the right thing anymore with fearing for our life. Simple things like walking down the street have become a problem. You can't tell your side of the story without offending someone else. I truly fear...

May 15, 2020 01:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBMy recent battle with coronavirus has helped me to mature. The reality is most people hear stories through the media or other lesser reliable sources.

COVID-19 is now believed to attack kids. What are we going to do???
May 13, 2020 00:30 - 1 hour - 109 MB"Our hypothesis is that COVID-19 begins as a respiratory virus and kills as a cardiovascular virus," Dr. Mandeep Mehra at Harvard Medical School tells the Post. "The virus doesn't disappear. There is no miracle. The cases mount, the death toll grows, more than 33 million Americans lose their jobs to the pandemic. Unemployment reaches Great Depression–era levels. Donald Trump doesn't understand. We have an economic crisis because we have a public health crisis. And we have a public health cri...
Can We Save Ourselves??? "Young People Are Not Immune to the Corona virus"
May 06, 2020 00:30 - 1 hour - 108 MBEven Trump has noticed. “Why is it that the African American community is suffering so much more. It doesn’t take “a very stable genius” to connect black people’s higher rates of unemployment, mass incarceration, chronic preexisting medical issues, poor housing, homelessness and less reliable access to quality health care to see why they’re more vulnerable to increased viral transmission, infection and death during a pandemic. Black people are also less likely to work in the kinds of jobs th...

Gumbo Talk: You can't know peace by crossing your fingers.
February 14, 2020 02:00 - 1 hour - 55 MBNowadays there seems to be a lowered work ethic amongst people in general. There is a sense amongst many that peace will find them in their midst of trouble. Peace exist, but it is in a place few dare to go: deep inside themselves. Wishing and hoping is good, but having a path to freedom shown to you by tried and true efforts is a best practice. I believe we were given everything we need from our birthright. Once we learn how to tap into our inner sanctum we will find what we were looking for...
Gumbo Talk: Say it now!
February 07, 2020 02:00 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBThe death of Kobe Bryant, the current State of the Union, family woes, relationship issues, new flames, old quarrels, and misguided steps all contribute to miscommunication. The time has never been better to say what you mean to someone. This doesn't mean say anything. Choose your words and leave questions open-ended. When you know you should say something, you should say it. How many times have you thought about what you should or could have done? When do you speak up for yourself? Where is...

Gumbo Talk: Darkest before Dawn
January 24, 2020 02:00 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBI worry a lot less anymore ever since a good friend told me to take more risks. I relaize that even if I mess up it is only temporary. If i mess up bad it was meant to teach me something. The reality is that we often give up when we can't see what our future holds. This is a trick because right before the unthinkable happens there is a breakthrough. If we quit too soon we miss that opportunity. If we close our eyes we may walk right past that open window. Our nature as men is to keep things s...
