We have lost yet another teachable moment in debates over the race of Vice President Kamala Harris. Americans just don’t understand the complexity of race, ethnicity, and nationality in America. Some cannot be “Half Black and half Indian.” This

New song and music video called "The Rap on Donald Trump and Project 2025." Please share if you feel this will educate those who need to know about #Project2025 and would appreciate a #hiphop take on it. Lyrics are below for you to follow along
It was an honor to have the great Zenda Walker. Zenda is a best-selling, award-winning author, licensed cosmetologist, and beauty marketing executive. Originally from the Bronx, New York, she enjoys traveling, spontaneous dance parties, explori
There has been such disrespect towards VP Harris in calling her a DEI hire. If people want to play that route, will the pick for Vice President be called a "DEI hire" as well? The notion put out is that she has to pick a White, sis-gendered Chr
Dr. King said that White moderates (I'll add liberals) often tell Black people to wait for freedom; that they believe in freedom on an installment plan. This is how I see what has been happening with democratic politicians who said President Bi
The media should not create a “both sides” argument about calming down political rhetoric about violence. The fact of the matter is that the republicans are the party that often call for violence and #trump is the #1 proponent of it. That does
On #rolandmartinunfiltered I shared my reaction to President Biden speaking at the AME church as well as former representative Mia Love's weird and unacceptable response to it.STAY CONNECTED:Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongoTwit
The response to Biden's performance and what should happen thereafter is absolutely ridiculous! These democrats and so-called defenders of democracy had a poorer performance than Biden and their lack of objectivity is astounding. And it was a m
Jay-Z has a strong history of philanthropy to the Black community nationally and internationally. My hope is that he will realize that this program is not inline with what he has traditionally invested in regarding the Black community. It is is
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a MAGA speech. The media has handpicked certain lines but should do a better job of dissecting this Trumpian speech. I dissect it below. I also dismantle the idea that speech is always OK as long a
My latest post is called “Kendrick, Drake, and #Diddy. What if #hiphop protected Black women?” From #cassie & Rihanna, from Megan to Michel’le, and from Dee Barnes to names unknown, we have continued to let Black women down and it has to stop N
LSU coach Kim Mulkey was right to challenge the sexism in the Los Angeles Times article by Ben Bosch. She did not, however, speak to the racism of the comments in the article. Once again, we have put our racist and sexist views on a new generat
22 years ago, I wrote a poem entitled “Welcome to the Congo.” It’s on my album “Signs of the Time.” I wrote it while in Congo working in refugee camps due to the war in Congo at the time. 22 years later, I am performing this poem once again and
I was invited by a school to speak for “Unity Week” because of my documented work as an #upstander. SOME members of the school board who are on record for being part of the fake #criticalracetheory activism began protesting and threatening othe
Beyoncé(once again) has given us an opportunity to explore American history in ways that were never fully taught in our schools. Great way to start to close out #blackhistorymonth #texasholdem #beyonce #beyoncé #16carriages Learn more about yo

Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others don't respect Black intellect and historians. They see the Breakfast Club as a softball place where they won't really get pressed. I also propose some suggestions of what they can do to make their interv
Remember that after the March on Washington, Dr. King and the other leaders went to the White House. My point is that we can’t just protest. We need to protest AND vote. In this video I talk about Bayard Rustin, voting, and why we must vote for
White liberals need to heed the warning of Dr. King and figure out how to recommit to the movement for his "beloved community." #mlk #mlkday #Upstander #mlkday2024Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Dr. Claudine Gay's resignation is just the latest in the republican attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion. These so-called conservatives and republicans are also hypocrites because they are more connected to anti-semites and Neo-Nazis tha
