Black In Classic

In this episode of Black in Classic, we're unpacking the chaos, contradictions, and consequences across politics, policy, and everyday life.We start with Connecticut's growing housing crisis and why affordability feels like a myth for working people. Then we ask: Why are educators still fighting to get paid what they're worth?We also get into the wild behavior on airplanes — and what it really means to end up on a no-fly list.From there, we pivot to Trump's controversial pardons, new restrictions on international travel, and the separation heard around the world.It's another packed episode — all facts, all nuance, all Black in Classic.

This week on Black in Classic, we're unpacking headlines that reveal deeper truths about politics, power, and perception.We kick things off with the Connecticut housing shortage — why working families are being priced out, how developers and zoning laws are failing us, and what it really means when affordable housing becomes a myth.Then we move to the national stage with the Trump administration's legal battle against Harvard — is it about “fairness” in admissions, or another attack on race-conscious policies masked as reform?We also cover the ongoing developments in Diddy's legal situation, and why silence around these allegations feels louder than the truth.Finally, we take a hard look at the global judgment Black girls face when they get plastic surgery — nose jobs, lip fillers, facial tweaks — and ask: why is self-expression seen as betrayal when it comes from us?

What does this mean for residents, and why does it feel like healthcare is always on the chopping block?Then we zoom out to Donald Trump's increasingly complicated relationship with Israel — an alliance once seen as unshakable now facing cracks and contradictions. What's behind the shift?We also get into a heavy but necessary conversation about the erosion of due process in the era of “believe all women.”From Tory Lanez to DDG, men are being judged — and often condemned — in the court of public opinion long before the facts are clear. What happens when justice is based on virality, not evidence?And finally, we close with a discussion on Cassie's testimony — the emotional weight it carries, and what it reveals about power, survival, and public silence.This episode is layered, honest, and deeply necessary.

Mark Zuckerberg is doing everything but taking accountability for Meta — t's all smoke and mirrors to keep lawmakers off his back. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has completed his first 100 days and it's giving full-on disaster vibes.We also get into the latest legal updates with Lil Durk — a new charge, but this time, there's a silver lining.
