This episode discusses the complexity of Love. The Good Read for this episode is Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes by Morgan HouseEvery investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past.Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change.With his usual elan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners, not by squinting harder through the uncertain landscape of the future, but by looking backwards, being more broad-sighted, and focusing instead on what is permanently true.   By doing so, we may better anticipate the big stuff, and achieve the greatest success, not merely financial comforts, but most importantly, a life well lived.What's Popping in Vell's World includes How to Help Jamaica Rebuild After Hurricane Melissa, When Your Government Goes Offline: What the 2025 U.S. Government Shutdown Means for Black America, RunDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, and more.Follow on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @VellsWorldPodcast.Email vellsworldpodcast@ldmonger.com with any comments, questions, or concerns you want to mention in our upcoming episodes.

Monique and Kevin wrap up their reaction to a very controversial video: “The Story of Black America.” They go DEEP on the hardest-hitting claims: • Is “ghetto” culture actually British redneck culture from southern England? (Thomas Sowell on steroids) • Why some Black Americans cling to victimhood like it's the new plantation • The uncomfortable truth about freedom vs. the comfort of mental oppression • How American ratchet culture got exported to Africa (Monique's wild stories from Cape Flats & Uganda) • Rapper dictators, socialism's grip on Africa, and why Christianity—not genetics—is the real game-changer We agree with a lot… but we also call CAP on the parts that go too far.

“Gavin Newsom is slicker than Barack Obama or Zohran Mamdani. He lies without effort or shame,” Larry Elder warns. “The man is dangerous—and should not be underestimated.” In 2021, the former presidential candidate was infamously labeled “the black face of white supremacy” by the Erika D. Smith of the LA Times, in response to his rejection of the Democrat party, mocking of indoor mask-wearers, and citing crime statistics. “I believe that many policies that have been implemented by the left, often with the best of intentions, have a disproportionately negative effect on Black America,” Elder told Tavis Smiley in a radio interview. Larry Elder – known as the “Sage From South Central” is an American conservative political commentator, talk radio host, and former attorney. He hosts The Larry Elder Show, now on YouTube and the Salem Podcast Network.

In this episode, John breaks down the economic realities behind the headlines — and what they mean for your wallet. While the U.S. remains the world’s strongest economy, warning signs are flashing: rising costs, slowing consumer confidence, cracks in real estate markets, and widening financial strain in working families — especially in Black America. John reveals the “canary in the coal mine” indicators most people are missing, explains why Wall Street and Main Street are telling two different stories, and highlights how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future faster than any previous economic shift. Most importantly, he gives you a practical game plan to not only survive potential downturns — but win in them.

In this episode of Not All Hood, the group gets real about money, work, and survival in today's economy—where inflation, layoffs, and corporate cutbacks hit Black families hardest. From $12 cartons of eggs to shrinking brand budgets, we unpack what “wealth” really means when the system keeps shifting the rules. Candace Kelley, Layne Fontes, and Troy Harris dive deep into the new economic reality: Why one job is no longer enough. The truth about “retirement” and why it might be a myth. How government funds for HBCUs are being reallocated — and who really benefits. Why more Black Americans are planning to live abroad — and what they'll never give up about home. The tension between hustle culture, community, and rest. This conversation blends cultural commentary, economic insight, and lived experience to redefine what financial freedom actually looks like in 2025. Because it's not just about how much you make — it's about how much you keep.

While Sunday night was about “America's Team,” Sunday afternoon was all about Black America's Teams. The Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium, 37–20.

Growing up as a Black kid in Chicago, Dr. Marcia Chatelain says she learned more about Black history from McDonald's than from her fancy prep school. Now, she's a professor of Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania. In her Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America, Dr. Chatelain explores the role that McDonald's has played in Black communities since its founding in the 1940s. In many places, McDonald's has been a community hub and a pathway to business ownership for Black entrepreneurs. But it's also been a tool for those seeking to preserve segregation. We dig into the chain's complicated legacy. Plus, Dan and his family stop in at a very special McDonald's on Long Island.  Check out the story Dr. Chatelain is quoted in: “Red Lobster Is Betting on Black Diners With Its Brand Comeback.”This episode originally aired on Jun 14, 2021 and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

The long history of the racial wealth gap in America told through the stories of seven Black families who struggled to build wealth over multiple generationsWealth is central to the American pursuit of happiness and is an overriding measure of well-being. Yet wealth is conspicuously absent from African American households. Why do some 3.5 million Black American families have zero or negative wealth?In The Plunder of Black America: How the Racial Wealth Gap Was Made (Yale UP, 2025) historian Calvin Schermerhorn traces four hundred years of Black dispossession and decapitalization—what Frederick Douglass called plunder—through the stories of families who have strived to earn and keep the fruits of their toils. Their struggles reveal that the ever-evolving strategies to strip Black income and wealth have been critical to sustaining a structure of racialized disadvantage. These accounts also tell of the quiet heroism of those who worked to overcome obstacles and defy the plunder.From the story of Anthony and Mary Johnson, abducted from Angola and brought to Virginia in 1619, to the enslaved Black workers dispossessed by the Custis-Washington family, to Venture Smith (born Broteer Furro), who purchased his freedom, to three generations of a family enslaved in the South who moved north after Emancipation, to the Tulsa massacre and the subprime lending crisis, Schermerhorn shows that we cannot reckon with today's racial wealth inequality without understanding its unrelenting role in American history.

Bomb threats have forced multiple HBCUs into lockdown, a crisis leaders describe as part of an escalating antiblack agenda. Calls are growing for the FBI and Department of Justice to treat these incidents as domestic terrorism, warning that Black institutions and students are being viciously targeted. The climate of intimidation reflects what speakers called a historical escalation, with Black America increasingly under siege. Despite the threats, the message was clear: communities will not be intimidated and will continue to resist.

For these final weeks of summer we wanted to transport you away from the doom and gloom of the daily news with a trio of stories produced by our friends at the public radio documentary-maker, Radio Diaries. The series is called “Making Waves” and it profiles three people who pushed the boundaries of radio: one to warn, one to rile, one to preach. This week's focus is the preacher. In 1934, the Washington Post called Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux the “best known colored man in America.” His Sunday services were broadcast to over 25 million listeners on CBS radio. Black America saw Michaux as a leader for racial harmony and progress. But during the civil rights movement, his reputation took an unlikely turn. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
