There has been this interesting take on how Kamala Harris was once referred to as a cop and there was an aversion to her, but then as she got closer to her election, she was positioned into her identity a bit more. The RAPpers decide to dissect this moment.  When Former Prosecutors Rebrand Themselves As Progressives to Win Elections Written by Victoria Law. Marquise (@MarquiseDavon) Somer (@ColdSomer) (@Cold.Somer) Celine Belissa  (@seabelissa)  (@cbelissa) Mo (@sleazymo_)  Become a Patron 

In this all new episode of the Rational Anger Podcast, we discuss why it is important for us to recognize that Ta-Nehisi Coates has written an important piece of text, but it is not without critique to Somer's surprise! We connect the realness about whiteness to how that manifests in the United States today. Why is it relevant? Is this text for Black people? What stuck out to you in this piece of text? Have white people learned their lesson? Marquise (@MarquiseDavon) Somer (@ColdSomer) (@Cold.Somer) Celine Belissa  (@seabelissa)  (@cbelissa) Mo (@sleazymo_)  Become a Patron

This American Negro is a podcast that aims to bridge academia and the hood. I want to host important conversations between Black people.  There will be more interviews with more of a focus on academic research, but it is nice to breathe and just have a candid conversation.  Brik.Liam WebsiteCheck out Brik.Liam's YouTubeStream Brik.Liam's music on all platforms: Apple MusicSpotifyTIDALSoundCloudGoogle Play On All Social Media: @MarquiseDavonFollow Me On Twitter: @AmericanNegro_Follow Me On Instagram: @ThisAmericanNegroFollow Me On Facebook: This American NegroIf you would like to hire me to speak at your school or on a panel, then reach out to my email: richardsm.davon@gmail.comI also do Diversity and Inclusion work.

During this episode of "This American Negro," Marquise sits down and just has a barbershop talk with him and two other Black Male Educators. Troy Kyles is a Black Male counselor in the Philadelphia area. Stephen Tyson Jr. is an adjunct professor at Arcadia that also focuses in hip hop culture and has ties to City Year. He also goes by his rapper name ELECT. He is the founder of JusListen Entertainment. We get into hip hop culture, misogyny, respectability politics and more. This is definitely not the end of this conversation, but we will continue to expand this into more spaces.  HUGE SHOUT OUT TO The Fellowship for Black Male Educators for Social Justice. It was an honor to be part of this amazing weekend.

This episode of This American Negro discusses the Afro-Latino experience and what this means with Fat Joe's comments, Jharrel Jerome's speech, and Miles Morales' depiction as a character, which meant a lot to me to see. Let me know your thoughts on the episode. Use #TANPod to keep up with the conversation and I can interact with y'all on social media. For Freedom's Journal I discuss: Do Districts Actually Want Black Male Teachers? Beyonce and Rihanna's creative processes. Further Reading: Fat Joe Missed the Mark Discussing Black Latin PeopleHispanics and Latinos are Not a Race The Problem with Latinidad  UPDATE: I just listened to the new episode of Bag Ladiez Podcast. I noticed that we referenced some of the same articles. I do believe that they have a strong affinity to explain this topic, since they have this lived experience. I would recommend you listen to their most recent episode. I recognize that they have such a dope experience and platform, so I wanted to make sure that I gave credit where it is due. I highly recommend this podcast. I just started listening to them earlier this month and have been happy to hear these perspectives.  Host: @MarquiseDavon @AmericanNegro_ on Twitter and "This American Negro" on Facebook.  If you would like to hire me to speak at your school or on a panel, then reach out to my email: richardsm.davon@gmail.com
