The NeoLiberal Round

The Neoliberal Round Podcast by Renaldo McKenzieEpisode Script: “Faith, Film, and the Future Featuring Abria Jackson”Creator/Host: Renaldo C. McKenzie[Intro]Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. I'm your host, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie.Today, I'm honored to sit with the dynamic, ever-charming, and deeply talented Abria Jackson—an actress, mentor, and graduate student whose career and calling blend art, faith, and service.Abria recently starred in Night of Violence, which opened at the prestigious FrightFest in the UK. She traveled to London with her mother to witness the premiere, and we'll talk about that powerful experience. We'll also dive into her work on Law & Order: Organized Crime, her inspirations from Viola Davis and Halle Berry, her mentoring of young women, and her pursuit of a master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology.[Segment 1 – The UK Premiere]Renaldo: What was it like, sitting in that London theater with your mom, watching your film open FrightFest?Abria: “It was very emotional. My father passed away a couple of years ago, and he was so supportive of my dream. Knowing my mom was in the audience reminded me that I have people who love me and support me. I also felt like my dad was there, watching from heaven. My mom was cheering, even when no one else was, and people around her were cracking up—it was unforgettable.”Renaldo: What did it mean personally to have her there?Abria: “It felt full circle. God was reminding me to keep going, that I'm on the right path. The fact that my mom was alive and present for that moment—it meant everything.”[Segment 2 – Acting as Healing]Renaldo: You mentioned Catwoman, a Black rock star, and Tanya from Mortal Kombat as dream roles. Why those?Abria: “All three connect directly to my childhood. They'd heal my inner child. Acting was more than entertainment—it was spiritual. Growing up, life wasn't always glitter and rainbows. Acting gave me an outlet, and now keeping that inner child alive helps me bring truth to every role.”[Segment 3 – Balancing Faith, Career, and Self-Care]Renaldo: How do you balance school, career, and everything else?Abria: “I'm very intentional with my time. I write everything in my planner and make sure I hit my goals. But I also remind myself that you can't pour from an empty cup. Self-care matters. For me, that's $5 Tuesdays at the movies—it's my reset.”Renaldo: And your faith?Abria: “Faith keeps me going. My mom once bought a name meaning that said Aabria means faith. That's my story. When auditions don't come, when money's tight—faith carries me.”[Segment 4 – Mentorship & Psychology]Renaldo: Beyond acting, you're also co-leading a mentorship group for teen girls and pursuing a master's in counseling. What inspired that?Abria: “Even in high school, people would come up to me and share their lives. It felt like a gift God placed in me. Now I want to perfect that gift—get licensed, gain knowledge, and help people in ways that blend spirituality and service.”[Segment 5 – Vision & Legacy]Renaldo: Looking ahead, what legacy do you want to build?Abria: “When God calls me home, I want people to say my life was an act of faith. Of course, I want roles that move people. But more than that, I want to be remembered as someone who served—who gave advice, helped people, and carried them through. What profits a person to gain the world but lose their soul? Character and service—that's the legacy I want.”[Closing]Abria Jackson is more than an actress—she is a storyteller, a servant, and a woman of faith. From Philly to London, from film sets to mentorship circles, her journey reminds us that art and service can walk hand in hand.You can follow Abria on Instagram at @itsabriajackson and on TikTok under her name.And stay tuned for her upcoming TV series Losing My Pride, expected in 2026.Thank you for listening to The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Until next time—walk good.

Five years ago I blogged: “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within” (W. Durant). I was reminded of this while watching the Prime Video Movie Apocalypto. I'd recommend that y'all watch it. Now If Trump, the GOP and MAGA want “America to be Great Again”, they may want to first stop the bleeding from within instead of applying tactics that exacerbate the wound and destroy what's left of American greatness like that of the Mayan Kingdom. Great civilizations fall because of leaders and their supporters who share and defend their wild ideologies that put people against each other and stifle diversity and liberalism. A great America is a strong America that looks out for all its peoples so that they can be resolute in defending any attack from without.Black lives matter and so does white lives. Women are independent and firm just as their male counterparts. And the freedom to express our uniqueness in various forms without denigrating or denying anyone expression over another is valued and protected so as to strengthen our unity inspite of our diversity! Rev. Renaldo McKenzie

Question: Do you agree that Kamala Harris is not interesting and charismatic enough to be considered a leader? Twin Brothers Ricardo and Renaldo McKenzie debate whether Kamala was uncharismatic and not interesting during the last presidential election and throughout her time as VP and on Rachel Maddow Show last night 9.22.2025. It was former Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris first Live TV interview since loosing which also happen to mark the eve of the release of her new book. So the timing was no coincidence. Nevertheless the show is intersting as the twins get heated over the topic.

Randy declares he plans to boycott ABC until they reinstate Jimmy Kimmel. This is The Neoliberal Round Podcast Straight Talk – Part 2: Jimmy KimmelRenaldo McKenzie (Host):Welcome back to The Neoliberal Round Podcast. This is another episode of Straight Talk, where we cut through the noise and speak plainly. We are in Philadelphia tonight, and before you go anywhere—let's dive right into it.Renaldo:Do you watch Jimmy Kimmel?Guest:Occasionally.Renaldo:So, what do you think about the Jimmy Kimmel show being suspended by Disney and ABC?Guest:I think it's crazy. The best part of the show is always the beginning—the monologue. Especially when he's talking about the President.Renaldo:Right. So do you think that's the reason the show got suspended? Because of the political edge in those monologues?Guest:Absolutely. That was the highlight of the show, and they couldn't handle it. Let's be honest—we've got an orange lunatic in the White House, and Kimmel was one of the few willing to call it out.Renaldo:(Laughs) Careful now, we don't want them coming after this show.Guest:Hey—I'm just saying what I'm saying. It's a free country, isn't it?Renaldo:And that's exactly the point. The views expressed here don't necessarily represent The Neoliberal Round, but the principle of free speech matters. If we start silencing comedians for calling out power, where does it stop?[Transition music beat]Renaldo:Here's the thing: comedy has always been a truth-telling platform. From Richard Pryor to Jon Stewart to Kimmel, satire exposes hypocrisy. That's what scares institutions—they'd rather suspend a show than let uncomfortable truths air.Guest:Exactly. It's easier to silence the messenger than confront the message.Renaldo:And that's why we're here on Straight Talk—to remind you that democracy only works if we can laugh, critique, and hold leaders accountable without fear.[Outro music fades in]Renaldo:This is The Neoliberal Round Podcast.

Today is a really sad day. My little “brother” “mentee” and “friend” Malik Tribble was found dead in a black dodge car on Bmbrey street in North Philly; … killed and his body wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in the trunk of the said dodge car that was reported stolen. Violence is abhorred; yet we give ourselves the tools (guns) to carry out our wild intentions, and our world provides the stimulation and socialization that desensitize tge violence of killing e.g. “GTA”, “Baddies”, “Young and wreckless” and violent music dominate our purviews; we even  have leaders who exacerbate violence by politicizing the will to address it, and have all but abandon “love” which expresses itself in constructive and sacrificial means. Not a sacrifice of martyrdom or what suicide bombers may wrongfully embrace as theirs. Love does not kill it heals and does not mock and discriminate but provides hope and empowering ways to help to preserve life and not just a particular life or way. If we are focus on ourselves then we will loose the dynamism of our world and the love for oneanother. Nevertheless, we build walls that we kill ourselves to jump over. Let there be Love.Renaldo C. McKenzie

There is breaking news on CNN: Utah prosecutors have charged the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk with murder. The Justice Department has announced it will seek the death penalty against the 22-year-old suspect.I have a lot of breaking comments to make, and the first is this: we are learning that the shooter, a 22-year-old young man who shot and killed Kirk, grew up in a Republican household — a white, suburban home. This already complicates the narratives forming around the case.Reports suggest there was a conversation between the shooter and his roommate — or his boyfriend's roommate — who happened to be transitioning. In that exchange, the shooter allegedly described his father as a “diehard MAGA fan, a diehard supporter, a diehard racist.” This is not incidental background; it reveals something about the environment in which the suspect was formed.Predictably, Trumpists and radical Republicans are already spinning this, pointing fingers at the left, claiming that the shooter was “radicalized” by liberal culture. They even threaten war against liberals and liberal institutions in response. But the facts undermine that narrative. There is no evidence that this young man was radicalized by the left. Psychology tells us something different.What we are seeing here is a clash of identities within one home. The father, wrapped up in Trump's MAGA bandwagon, moved further right. The son, in rebellion, moved in the opposite direction. This is not unusual. Developmental psychology shows us that children in politically or religiously rigid homes often push against those boundaries. Here, the son's rebellion was intensified by his father's extreme positions, and it spiraled into something tragic.This is not about absolving the shooter. Murder is murder. But if we are serious about preventing tragedies like this, we must understand radicalization not as a simple product of “the other side,” but as something that grows within fractured households, in communities where intolerance and extremism feed one another.The lesson? America's culture wars are not waged only in politics or online. They take root in living rooms, at dinner tables, between fathers and sons. And when we ignore the psychology of rebellion, resentment, and identity, we risk more young people turning violent — not because they were “programmed” by one side, but because they were caught in a cycle of radicalization at home.Rev.

The US Open ended earlier this month but here is Renaldo talking up Tennis and US players as Coco was getting set to play Osaka the Japanese American player representing Japan, how ironic.

Renaldo sits down in Philadelphia with Twin Brother Ricardo Mckenzie and Media Consultant Paul Booth for a rapid-fire Pulse: Trump's rhetoric and “unity,” the constitutionality of sending National Guard into cities, whether militarized policing reduces crime, the real drivers of violence (poverty and inequality), and the right's gerrymandering blitz. Then a quick pivot to sports: the Eagles' outlook, the Chiefs loss, and why Jalen Hurts doesn't need anyone's validation.

In this quick hit, Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie asks the hot question: does sending in the National Guard make cities safer—or merely look tough on TV? From Chicago to D.C., we weigh the constitutional limits on federal troop deployments, the real costs of “boots on blocks,” and the deeper drivers of violence—relative deprivation, inequality, and shrinking opportunity. If crime is born of scarcity and status gaps, can soldiers solve what schools, jobs, and housing leave undone? Short, sharp, and straight to the point—policy over posturing.

Renaldo McKenzie of The Neoliberal Round goes off on how the pundits are underrating the Eagles performance last night against the Cowboys. Renaldo believes the Eagles never had to do much to beat the Cowboys and that the Eagles had a thin defense and rarely got their other stars involved in the game highlighting how easy the won was. #Eagles beats the @dallascowboys easily without having to get most of their stars involved I the game. Even with a so-called undisplined defense with young guys and a supportive cast of referees Cowboys failed to stop the @Eagles. Renaldo McKenzie is a Philly resident and Eagles fan. Renaldo is Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance.Visit us at https://theneoliberal.com.

It's the start of the NFL Football season and we are in Philadelphia talking to people in groups in community about the game tonight moments before kickoff.

In this impromptu episode of The Neoliberal Round, host Renaldo McKenzie goes unscripted to unpack the explosive fallout from the latest Epstein release.Why are there protests in the streets? Why is Ghislaine Maxwell still seemingly receiving “special treatment” while countless others face the full weight of justice? And why does accountability stop when it reaches the doors of the powerful?Renaldo explores the tangled web of Trump, Epstein, and the culture of impunity that shields elites—touching on:

Unscripted. Unfiltered. Uncomfortable—in the best way. Straight Talk drops into living rooms, barbershops, corners, and council halls to parse real life: housing, wages, power, and the culture wars reshaping our cities. Host Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie brings neighbors, thinkers, and doers to the mic for fast, frank dialogue that cuts through spin and lands on action. No pundit panels—just people with skin in the game.

In the finale of Lecture 6, we wrap up the reflections on Re-Imagining the Caribbean - Understanding the Caribbean – Beyond the Myths and Into the Margins:...We pick up from Point 33. DIASPORAS AND DISPLACEMENT• African Diaspora: peoples of African descent living outside Africa.• Caribbean Diaspora: particularly Caribbean people of African descent scattered across the globe.• These diasporas still carry the black position and face discrimination, suspicion, and containment.“They are aliens with sharp teeth—feared not for their failure but for their potential.”________________________________________4. DARK GHETTOES & INTERNALIZED MALADY• Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettos”:o Exist physically and psychologically.o Not just urban slums but socio-economic prisons.o Seen in Philly, Kingston, Port of Spain—spaces where people are victims of fear, guilt, and greed.o Structural conditions: overcrowding, poverty, crime.o Psychological toll: despair, self-hate, compensatory bravado.________________________________________5. POSTCOLONIALISM AND THE VEIL THAT LINGERS• Postcolonialism ≠ Post-colonyo It's not the end of colonization, but the lingering effects—economic, cultural, psychological.o Fanon: both white and Black are trapped—one in superiority, the other in inferiority.o The need for tabula rasa—to begin anew.• Revolutions and the Paradox of Independenceo Haiti and Cuba led true revolutions—but remained outside international community comfort zones.o Their struggle reflects the cost of radical freedom.________________________________________6. CENTER VS. PERIPHERY – WHOSE CULTURE MATTERS?• Homi Bhabha – “Location of Culture”:o The periphery: marginal voices, rejected traditions.o The center: dominant culture, normalized Eurocentric standards.• Rastas, Revivalists, African spirituality = periphery.• Skin lightening, accent training, rejection of roots = symptom of internalized colonialism.________________________________________HANDOUT: Tracing Caribbean History – Before Columbus• Challenge the narrative: Begin with victory, not defeat.• Explore:o Ivan Van Sertima – They Came Before Columbus.o Ancient African navigators, civilizations that predate European contact.________________________________________DISCUSSION & MEDIA:• Video Segment: Ivan Van Sertima• Handout Discussion: Follow timeline through slavery, indenture, resistance, revolution.This is Episode 6 of the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series Summer 2025 on The Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzieRev.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

Let me ask you — are the protesters in LA standing on the right side of history? It's not a rhetorical question. It's one we need to wrestle with[Segment 1: The Conversation Begins]Recently, I sat down with a guest — an African American American, if you will — to get his take on what's happening in California. His first response?" Nothing." That was it. Nothing. But silence — as I've come to understand — is rarely ever just apathy. Sometimes it's exhaustion. Sometimes it's reflection. Sometimes it's survival. So I asked again: “Do you think the ICE agents are terrorizing people in LA?” His response was telling. “They're doing what they're supposed to be doing,” he said. But when I pressed him on whether they should be doing it — whether it's moral or justified — the lines got blurrier.[Segment 2: ICE, Trump & the Protesters][Segment 3: Words Matter]Let's talk about language. Protesters say they're being “terrorized.” Officials say it's “law enforcement.” Who's right?[Segment 4: So I ask again: Will history look back on these LA protesters as troublemakers… or as truth-tellers?[Conclusion: Right Side of History?][Outro
