Listen, Laugh, and Learn on The Amanda Seales Show! FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:   (2:49) - BLACKURATE NEWS Lawmakers in Madison, Wisconsin, recently debated whether state colleges and universities should be barred from considering race or gender when determining if a student is eligible for aid (affirmative action). Under the Republican bill, admission into programs, and tuition assistance that's aimed at disadvantaged students, could only consider the wealth of the student and their family. Sen. Eric Wimberger, Republican of Green Bay, Wisconsin, one of the bill's co-authors, said he acknowledged the lingering effects of racism, but he maintained race-based programs and assistance in higher education would enable bad actors more than it'd help underserved people.   (7:47) - POP CULTURE This story is the essence of “they should've never gave y'all social media.” Tyrese, who we all respect for his voice and talents… stay Tyresing. He posted a video of a Latino family doing family-oriented things, and in his caption demeaned and berated the entire BLACK race.   (12:43) - 60 SECOND HEADLINES Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case, is postponing the trial until his appeals play out on the question of whether presidential immunity protects him from being prosecuted. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has acknowledged her personal relationship with Nathan Wade… the lead prosecutor on the Trump case, but says it doesn't disqualify her. Welcome Home Franklin! A new ‘Peanuts' special will finally let Franklin, the first Black Peanut character, sit by White friends (Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Pig Pen and the gang). Killer Mike's Grammys night came to an early end last night... because he was led out of the event in handcuffs -- after an alleged physical altercation with a security guard.   (15:09) – We'll go to the phonelines.

He's here with us today with an update on the Ahmaud Arbury case… and the 3 white men that were convicted of killing him. Before we jump in, give us a brief overview of this case for those who may not remember.   (24:05) - ATTORNEY GERALD GRIGGS – Part 2   (28:39) - BIG UP, LET DOWN BIG UP - to an almost bride-to-be in California for her generosity and foresight!! An anonymous woman in California learned “something” (hmmm) about her fiancé' and decided to call their wedding off. BUT she'd already paid a $15k non-refundable fee for the wedding reception. Double BIG up: she donated the reception party to a non-profit called Parents Helping Parents which provides community support to parents with children who have special needs. AND she and her almost-husband didn't waste anybody's time or money by getting married into a chaotic situation. Some people would've been like, “Oh we finna have this reception, so we don't waste money!”   LET DOWN - to piss poor journalism and cultural appropriation during Black History Month. Superbowl-bound Chiefs player Travis Kelce has made the news recently for popularizing the FADE haircut, y'all! Yes, the hairstyle Black men have been rocking since the Black ICE ages. New York Times' Alyson Krueger titled an article, “They'll Take the Travis Kelce — Hairdo, That Is.” Apparently a lot of men are taking to their local barbershops and asking for a haircut similar to Kelce's. The article cites a TikTok video from barber Jeff Dugas saying that his brother came in with photos of Kelce for reference. It also cites a different TikTok video from barber Nigel Miller, who said his client was going for “that Travis Kelce look.” WHAT ARE WE DOING?! This is just bad journalism and poor research! White folks gone find a way to take the credit for Black swag one way or another. On the football field, behind a typewriter, in the newsroom…   (32:50) - WEEKEND RECAP IT'S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW… I'M AMANDA SEALES…   (35:17) - WE UP, WE UP, WE UP!!

Well why was the statue of the first Major League baseball player, Jackie Robinson, cut off at the ankles and burned in Wichita, Kansas? You heard me! Someone(s) cut the statue off at the ankles, stole it and it was later found burned in a public trash container. Thanks to a GoFundMe campaign, at least $175,000 has been received to fund the replacement. Other facts The Jackie Robinson statue, which officials valued at $75,000, was designed by the late artist John Parsons. Lutz previously said the new statue will be created from an existing mold of Parsons' original work. Money that is raised beyond the cost of the statue's replacement will go toward supporting the league and improvements at the pavilion where the statue is displayed, including additional security, according to League 42.   (40:25) - KICK OFF - GROUP CHAT TOPIC OF THE WEEK Well, this seems like the conversation that never ends, it just goes on and on, my friends!

Alison also talks about starting a running movement in harlem, Harlem Run, with the goal to make running more inclusive and welcoming to people of color. She shares what it felt like to be at the forefront of media attention for her efforts, despite knowing that so many people that looked like her felt othered in the space, and we also talk about how it feels for her to be a Black woman raising a Black son in the wake up Ahmaud Arbury's murder.

Hello again everyone. So sorry for the late episode but Cathy and I did record an episode on Friday but we had some technical issues and had to re-do the show. So here it is. We hope you enjoy it. We start off by mentioning the sentencing of the 3 killers of Ahmaud Arbury. I'm not happy abot the sentencing but I am totally shocked of the time that they all got. We go on to talk about one of my favorite actors as a young child/man the Famous Sidney Poitier. He passed friday at the age of 94. I had a rough week last week with some news on my Mom's health. I usually let my brothers know all the info by text whenever things happen. Not this time! We talk a little Yellowstone and 1883 because they are both really good shows. It's winter in Ohio and there are a lot of things to do. So where ever you are get outside and do something. Cleveland in the winter has somethings to offer. We end the show with a lot of Couples Questions. Please enjoy the show and we'll see you next week.

Dustin Jensen – Spouse of Danielle's colleague. Grew up in rural Washington, mostly white communities. He attended Christian schools through college. Became a pastor and left ministry after 12 years. Joined the local government shipyard to make money. Married, has three kids. Is on a journey to rediscover his faith and personal growth. Krishon Allen – Native New Yorker, currently residing in Maryland with his wife and two daughters. Following is time in the US Navy he began a personal relationship with Christ. Faith is a driving force in his life. He is currently an Assistant Program Manager for the Naval Sea Systems Command and is the process of building a faith-cased coaching and mentoring program. These friends talk about current events and racial relations and reconciliation.  They were first connected in 2017 where they were both selected to be a part of a Naval leadership development cadre in Washington DC. It was through this training that they began to forge a friendship and engage in deep meaningful conversations. Dustin said when he met Krishon he was in a place where we was challenging ideas in his life: his faith, his posture towards race and his view of women…. So that when he entered the leadership program he wanted to challenge himself, he wanted and made a conscious choice to be with people who were different than him, who didn't look like him. He wanted to be in a different relationship and had a posture of learning and listening. Krishon acknowledged that on the surface is didn't look like they had a lot in common but they were both husbands and fathers who were away from their families. The friendship was cultivated through mutual interests.  The time in DC made it easy to continue their relationship when they left their time. They talked and emailed for those two years up until COVID and then they started weekly ZOOM calls. It was Dustin who added the dynamic of listening to podcasts and discussing books. The discussions have been challenging. Dustin said there was a deepening and a continuing of their relationship that may not have come naturally before they added outside content to their discussions. It was a new layer of vulnerability that they intentionally leaned into. They chose to engage and be willing to engage in those difficult conversations within the safety of their friendship.The first thing that Dustin did as he began to engage in difficult conversations and in building trust in his relationship was admitting there were things he didn't know. He walked alongside his wife going to grad school and he questioned and challenged things she was learning along the way. So to come into a cross-racial relationship we have to change our posture: there are thing you don't know, and you don't know that you don't know them until you engage someone else's pain and struggle.For Krishon it wasn't difficult to engage with Dustin because of his own upbringing. He said he didn't to make anything easy and just “coast” for the sake of building relationship. Dustin acknowledged that Krishon is not responsible for Dustin's journey as a white person, but Krishon has been willing to engage and go along with Dustin on the journey. It was a willingness to go along together.[Long gap 12:42-48]Danielle says our area is really white and they met in a different part of the country that is very different from Kitsap and more diverse. That is the challenge for our area in the NW, that while there are people of color, there aren't many. The importance is looking at the diversity within the whole country. There is power is looking at another person's face, it humanizes them. And you become more human to each other. Dustin says after living in (and loving) a culturally and racial diverse area like DC. it is difficult to come back to a predominantly white area and feel like “how in the world can I engage culture and diversity and equality?”Maggie says there is a lack of interest or lack of engagement in cross cultural relationships in our area. The important thing is, like Dustin said, coming from a place of interest and posture of wanting to be challenged. It is an intentional seeking out of people who are different than you. We must have a posture of learning and humility (admitting you don't know everything). Maggie asked about a tool or resource that Dustin and Krishon used during their discussions of race and race relations. Krishon mentioned the book “Woke Church: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice” by Eric Mason. He encouraged Dustin to read it  since Krishon had read it with some friends. Krishon said that honestly a lot of their conversations just flowed organically—“When you have a black man and a white man having race conversations who have all the text you need is right there.” They just share their experiences. One experience they had in DC was that they went out for a run and afterward Krishon asked Dustin if he wanted to get coffee. Dustin said he didn't bring anything. Krishon was shocked because when he leaves for a run he brings his ID and debit card just in case someone wants to challenge his movement today. Dustin probably never had to prove his identity. Ahmaud Arbury of course highlighted this even more but to this Dustin day doesn't ever go on a run without thinking about his run with Krishon. Dustin says that experiences and stories impact us but they have to come out of relationship. Sure they've shared books together like “Why We Can't Wait,” by MLK, but it's their relationship that impacts them the most. There are a lot of resources but you'll get so much more out of real relationship. Danielle says, “Information does nothing for people. Read this book, get this information, look at these stats. They can believe them or not. But people walk away unchanged.” At times she says she is glad people read books but then she thinks she's sad they are reading it because they will have more information and do nothing about it. What Dustin and Krishon are talking about is having Intentional Proximity, and it has give and take on both sides. Krishon says you can say you have a really good friend but if you're not willing to share the hard parts, than it's not the real thing: We need to share our frustrations with people who don't look like us, because when we share our frustrations with people who look like us and think like us, they have the same frustration. The point is for understanding (not to carry it). Danielle asks how do you know someone understands, if they have actually internalized what they've heard?Krishon says it is them having follow up questions in response to what you've shared. If all they have to say is “ok” or “I understand,” then I have to question whether they actually do understand.  The questions show that the wheels are turning. Krishon gives Dustin a lot of credit because he also goes into action, doing further research to engage. Understanding means they are investing. Dustin says that understanding is a journey not a destination. He can look back on his life and see where he has grown and changed. Dustin acknowledges that he isn't “there” and that he has more learning and understanding, to challenge assumptions and continually engage. An assumption that he has challenged recently is “I understand history.” He grew up loving history, his favorite subject in school. He has realized over the past couple of weeks how little history he knows. There are big absences in his learning of history and as well as a lack of different perspectives of history. Maggie says even the term history shows how binary our thinking is, as if there is a single narrative that comes out of an experience. There are many histories and perspectives, not a single history or a single perspective. There is more than one way to see what has happened. We need to take what we have learned and ask, “is this it or is there more to the story?”Krishon doesn't think he's had any assumptions challenged by his meeting and becoming friends with Dustin. The first thing he saw in Dustin was his faith, and how they are both men of faith. That's why he wanted to be friends with Dustin through their leadership course. If anything the assumption there was that if they are both men of faith then you have issues with some social things happening in our society.Maggie asked how their faith has influenced their friendship and their discussion about what is also happening in our country around race? Krishon believes the church is failing here; they should be the change and should be on the forefront of making a positive change in race relationships and unity in the church body.Dustin says he'd like to say that their faith gives them more hope. They have had difficult conversations challenging the church around the predominantly white male church leading in an area that they don't have expertise in. What the church should be, can be and is not. There are some examples of people being the church, the Allender Center podcast about challenging theology. There's just a lot of challenging conversations about church right now. Danielle thinks that's the hard part—you want to stay connected to the body to our community but we don't have faith leaders who are leading in this area. So when we look around Danielle says, “Maybe we're the leaders.” Leading from our houses, from where ever  we are… Using our voices to encourage the church, to call on the church to change, to read the scriptures in another way, to look a history in another way, to embrace each other another way. Dustin says it is more than just race and diversity... it's also about gender equality. We need to be asking how does the church approach people, how are people represented in the church? There are a lot of facets. Krishon says it's also defining of racism. Until we can have as many sermons on racism that we do on tithing only then can get somewhere. Racism is a heart issue. There needs to be repentance in dealing with racism. It's not going to be easy sermons on racism but they are necessary for change. ---Krishon is reading: A Black Woman's History of the United States by Daina Ramey Berry and Kali N.

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Yolandra Hancock, who is a public health expert with a focus on health disparities; a professor at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University; and a board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist who provides best-in-class health and wellness care to children and adolescents who are fighting childhood obesity.In spite of what many people in positions of leadership in the US and throughout the world are saying or not saying, when you look at the rates of infection for COVID-19 in their true, international context, the pandemic isn't ending — it's surging. In the wake of the extrajudicial murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbury and Breonna Taylor, House Democrats led by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) unveiled the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 this week. The CBC pulled out their kente cloth props and took a knee with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) in one of the worst photo opportunities of all time to promote the legislation. November 3, Election Day in the US, is still five months away, but the battle for the ballot rages on. Democrats are challenging a rule in Arizona that could toss out "thousands" of mail-in votes in the state, Reuters reported Wednesday. The Democratic National Committee is suing Arizona's secretary of state, seeking to give voters five business days following a federal election to correct ballots that weren't signed properly, which are not counted under the state's current election rules. GUESTS: Dr. Yolandra Hancock — Board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist who combines her hands-on clinical experience and public health expertise with her passion for building vibrant families and communities by providing patient-empowering, best-in-class health and wellness care to children and adolescents who are fighting childhood obesity. Margaret Kimberley — Editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of the book "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents." Dr. Emmit Riley — Assistant professor of Africana studies at DePauw University.

Hey Listeners, This week's episode is a tough conversation to have but a necessary one. I discuss the unjust killing of Ahmaud Arbury by the hands of three white men and Breonna Taylor by the hands of police officers. This is an issue that the black community continues to deal with and one that we all as a nation need to address and find a solution to. It is no secret that America is rooted in racism and oppression but this isn't the type of nation or society we want our children growing up in. Join me as we discuss these difficult issues. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foreignladypod/support
