Perception can be reality (or, how Democrats lose)

May 11, 2021 16:00 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

In the city of Philadelphia there is an interesting election about to take place that is going to decide whether the incumbent or the Republican Challenger will be the next district attorney. Pay attention to this race because this is a little taste of what Democrats across the country are doing and quite frankly it may be a symbol of what's about to happen in the midterms in 2022 and possibly the election in 2024 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kenrick-rampersad/message

The subtle nature of hidden racism

May 10, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutes - 35.1 MB

I want to be clear on something: the United States has done a lot to correct the wrongs done in the past but right now there is a segment of people and leaders that continue to deny the realities of systemic racism and most of this is coming from the right but the left also has an attitude of playing with racial feelings. This is why my friends I'm hard on the right because right now they are passing legislation that is demeaning to minorities but neither side is to be trusted in my humble op...

Colombia está pasando por un momento difícil con un gobierno que trató de imponer una reforma económica abusiva sus ciudadanos y cuando ellos tomaron las calles para protestar fueron agredidos y en muchos casos asesinados.

How much lower can the GOP go?

May 06, 2021 15:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MB

Let's get something straight the grand old party has not hit rock bottom because for that it would mean The disappearance of that collectivity and that's not going to happen anytime soon. Not after their candidate got 74.5 million plus votes in the last election. However it has hit a low point in the sense that the desires and the debauchery the mental debauchery of one man who's trying to hang on to power becomes more important than decency and service to the country.

De qué otra manera se puede explicar lo que ha estado sucediendo en las últimas décadas tanto en Latinoamérica como en el mundo entero?

Dissension and controversy in the two biggest teams in the country

May 05, 2021 14:00 - 23 minutes - 22.2 MB

No we're not talking about sporting teams per se although there have been controversies and disagreements in professional sports in both the United States and europe. I am referring to the mutiny and the dissension happening in both the Republican and the Democratic parties and once again we say the one person that's acting above politics is the president because he has to but neither party is paying attention to what's going on in the country. While that continues to happen the people unfort...

Yes people America is a racist country but no it's not coming from only one side

Tim Scott black senator from South Carolina and member of the Republican party has been receiving some on warranted ugly comments against him and when you dig deeper the rationale today would tell you that there is one party that plays with racism and that would be the Republican party. However I'm here to tell you yes there is racism in America, America is a racist country but no this is not limited to one side.

En este episodio no estamos hablando de una mudanza de muebles o de una persona que consiguió un trabajo en otro lugar aunque la situación es similar. Se trata de el contrato que firmó el pelotero boricua Francisco lindor con los metropolitanos de Nueva York dejando la ciudad de Cleveland donde él prácticamente era el héroe.

April 29, 2021 15:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

It's not about Justice, it's about political advancement

April 28, 2021 14:00 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

Today I would like to talk about two attorneys general who play a big role in their political parties and have been instrumental in two of the highest profile cases we've seen this past couple of years. One came out looking good and the other not so much but it doesn't matter because he belongs to a party where those things don't matter. Plus we take a look at how divided the country is even in something as simple as police reform --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kenrick-ramp...

In this episode I illustrate the best I can few points of contention I have with the top personalities that are highlighted more often in the New GOP.  One of the most horrific results of that ideal is still lurking throughout the continent.  Plus, has BLM reached a point of corruption?  We take a look at a recent scandal that perhaps isn't. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kenrick-rampersad/message

April 25, 2021 15:00 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MB

Conventional thinking says that Republicans are following a racist rhetoric to gain advantage with the larger population but Democrats do a pretty good job on minority people that do not conform with their idea of how black people and Latino people should vote or even behave.

April 21, 2021 16:00 - 24 minutes - 23.3 MB

The denial of the Republicans to address the insurrection of January 6th is made worse by their hypocritical talk on policing in America telling the country to comply but I don't recall any of the invading thugs being compliant at Capitol Hill.

April 21, 2021 15:00 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MB

Yes Derek Chauvin was found guilty and there should have been no doubts from the beginning about the outcome of this particular trial but there were doubts. The fact that we didn't know what the verdict was going to be on a case that was as clear as spring water should tell you that we have a long way to go to obtain equal racial Justice in America and the people that are talking about changes were the ones that were instrumental in the now horrific prison reform of the 1990s.

April 15, 2021 15:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB

The fascinating aspect of the decaying Republican Party is how attached to the Trumplican principle their most well known figures are.  The former president can humiliate them, berate them, emasculate them yet their unapologetic support does not decrease.  I want to talk about that and also I want to speak about Aaron Hicks, sports fans' latest whipping boy in their self proclaimed right to tell athletes it is not OK to take a stance on social issues.  Real Life is Fake! https://www.abc.net.a...
