When most think of Labor Day, they picture parades and barbecues. But for Black America, the struggle has always been about more than wages — it's about dignity. From the Pullman porters and A. Philip Randolph's union to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s last campaign with Memphis sanitation workers, Black labor has transformed labor rights and fueled the civil rights movement.

In progressive religion, African-Americans occupy a sacred caste status—beyond criticism, requiring constant resource redistribution. Yet this narrative ironically continues black America's core historical theme: dehumanization. Leftists project onto black Americans whatever serves their power needs rather than seeing them authentically. Growing up in majority-black Philadelphia taught me that most progressives from whiter areas fundamentally misunderstand black culture, perpetuating the very dehumanization they claim to oppose.

From Atlanta's unique political and economic infrastructure to the sacrifices needed for collective progress, Hayes challenges the Black community to move as a monolith, leverage political power, and control the platforms that profit from Black culture. He dives into reparations, cannabis legalization, the role of media, and how platforms like Fanbase can be the key to building true digital ownership. With personal stories of sacrifice, his father's legacy, and his mission to build kings not be one. Isaac Hayes III delivers one of the boldest visions yet for Black unity, innovation, and generational wealth. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.

A powerful community tribute to Malcolm‑Jamal Warner—anchored by Candace Kelley, Troy W. Harris Jr., and Layne Fontes—centers on the legacy Malcolm insisted we carry: that in 2025, new media lets us shape our own narrative. The conversation spans authenticity, code‑switching, cultural impact, and collective healing, with moving appearances from actor Lamman Rucker and Isaac Hayes III (Fanbase). Rucker recalls 40 years of brotherhood, stage work, and the discipline behind Malcolm's artistry—from the National Black Theatre Festival to late‑night poetry sets. Isaac shares how Malcolm's example—fitness, stretching, and integrity—quietly mentored him and why platforms like Not All Hood are vital for Black storytelling and ownership. The team revisits viral Buteco jam sessions where Malcolm lived on the bass, plus memories from press runs (Sway, Breakfast Club), and live callers reflect on why the Cosby era felt like home. This episode is part celebration, part blueprint: take the mic, build platforms, and program the algorithm with love, excellence, and truth. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.

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.

In this deeply moving Not All Hood special, co-host Candace Kelley and Executive Producer Layne Fontes, is joined by Producer & Creative Director Troy W. Harris Jr., remembering the life and legacy of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. From his groundbreaking role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show to his tireless dedication to reshaping how young Black men are portrayed in media, Malcolm's career was marked by intention, integrity, and love for his community. Friends, colleagues, and fans, including Toure', Jessica Meisel (from The Resident), Dr. Daniel Black, Lamman Rucker, Isaac Hayes III, and Kimberly Latrice Jones share intimate stories of his humor, humility, and unshakable principles. We hear about his behind-the-scenes fights for cultural authenticity, his devotion to fatherhood, and his gift for connecting with people on a soul level. This celebration of Malcolm's life is as much about the man as it is about the mission creating space for truth, humanity, and positive Black representation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.

Donovan X. Ramsey, author of When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era joins the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast to explore the relationship between the crack era and urban planning. The crack epidemic, more commonly known as the crack era, was the decade between 1985-1995 of high crack-cocaine use and distribution in U.S. cities and urban areas. The period birthed the “War on Drugs”, a series of laws that gave police permission to patrol and harass everyone in any neighborhood associated with the substance, created mandatory sentencing terms for drug-related offenses, punished users more severely than dealers, and did very little for substance abuse treatment for addicts. Popular media told the story of the crack epidemic through caricatures of “crackheads”, “crack babies”, and “super predators” to describe people, mostly Black people living in cities, impacted or associated with the substance. The Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast invited Donovan X. Ramsey to the show to discuss the complex relationships between the crack epidemic, the war on drugs, urban policy, and the Black lived experience. Together, Donovan and Jasmine, explore the synergy between the war on drugs and urban renewal, Hope IV, the Federal Highway Act, and other urban planning policies. Ramsey shares his thoughts on how America heals from the crack epidemic. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the lies, stereotypes, and misunderstandings about the crack epidemic to enlighten listeners and champion the voices of those forgotten due to their association with the substance: crack-cocaine. When Crack Was King: A People's History Of A Misunderstood Era is dedicated to “the misunderstood, the marginalized, and the maligned”. The goal of the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast is “to empower and provide tools to overcome structural and institutional barriers”. Download the episode to hear how these two missions collide. And listen till the end for an exclusive on Ramsey's next project. The special guest for this episode is Donovan X. Ramsey, his full bio is written below: Donovan X. Ramsey is an indispensable voice on issues of identity, culture, and patterns of power in America. His reporting has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, GQ, WSJ Magazine, Ebony, and Essence, among other outlets. He has been a staff reporter at the Los Angeles Times, NewsOne, and theGrio. He has served as an editor at The Marshall Project and Complex. Ramsey is the author of When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era, a work of narrative nonfiction exploring how Black America survived the crack epidemic for One World, an imprint of Random House, a division of Penguin Random House. He holds degrees from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and Morehouse College.

Today I'm talking about why white America doesn't hype up athletes and entertainers like Black America does. Yesterday, I talked about how Black men are often pushed toward just a few career paths, like sports or entertainment. Today, I'm flipping it and showing you how white America moves differently and why. Even though these athletes and entertainers are famous everywhere, they don't get held up the same way. I'm breaking it down so we can all understand the real reason behind that. Show Notes:  [01:35]#1 Standards.  [08:18]#2 The more widespread valuing of substances. [14:48]#3 Ownership is more highly valued than merely getting paid.  [22:17]Recap Next Steps:

Jack Johnson, the first Black world heavyweight champion, and Jim Jeffries, the so-called "Great White Hope", slugged it out in Reno, Nevada on 4th July, 1910 - in one of the most explosive sporting events in American sports history. Literally billed as a battle for racial supremacy, the fight attracted 20,000 paying fans - and sparked the biggest race riots in the United States until the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.  Jeffries came out of retirement for a fat paycheck. Johnson danced circles around him, forcing his corner to throw in the towel by round 15. To many white Americans, this wasn't just a loss; it was an existential meltdown in boxing gloves. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Johnson's brashness and defiance made him a marked man; explore how his triumph resonated in Black America, just one generation after emancipation; and reveal what Sylvester Stallone contributed to his place in the history books...

In this explosive episode Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley sit down with DJ Envy (Rashawn Casey) and his wife Gia Casey for one of their most vulnerable conversations yet. Together for over 30 years and married for 24, the Caseys talk about love, loss, parenting, rebuilding trust after infidelity, and surviving the dangers of fame. DJ Envy opens up about how money and fame can corrupt people and how meeting Gia young helped him stay grounded. The couple discusses the importance of communication in marriage, evolving together through life's stages, and maintaining trust within a family unit. Gia drops powerful insights on raising confident, emotionally safe children with open dialogue—even when it gets uncomfortable. They also tackle the challenges of raising Black children in white spaces, generational parenting differences, and why overprotectiveness isn't paranoia—it's preparedness. With stories about sex education sparked by a bloody condom discovery, the dangers of judgmental parenting, and the weight of social media on Black culture, this episode is raw, real, and absolutely essential. #NotAllHood #DJEnvy #GiaCasey #MalcolmJamalWarner #CandaceKelley #nahmorethanamonth #companyx #parentinggoals #BlackMarriageMatters #fameandfamily #generationalhealing #opencommunication #blackfathersmatter #therapyiscool #emotionalsafety #RaisingBlackChildren----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.

This week's episode we dive deep into what it means to navigate power, identity, and perception as Black people—especially Black women—in media and real life. Kicking things off, we reflect on Juneteenth and ask: What “Black-ass” thing did you do? From Black film faves to cultural milestones, the team sets the tone for a real and reflective conversation. Segment 1 unpacks the Tyler Perry abuse allegations, raising tough questions about accountability, separating art from artist, and how we hold powerful figures responsible—even those seen as cultural saviors. Segment 2 tackles microaggressions in media, using Riley Burruss' treatment on Bravo as a case study. The team explores why Black girls are often labeled “aggressive,” and how surface-level diversity can still uphold harmful narratives. In Segment 3, the conversation turns to Whoopi Goldberg's Iran vs. Black America comparison, examining why Black perspectives are so often dismissed and the risk of erasing lived experience through false equivalency. Segment 4 features producer Rodney Jerkins' critique of today's music industry, questioning whether talent still matters in the age of algorithms. The hosts discuss TikTok's influence, the fading role of A&R, and what's at stake for Black music's future. Finally, we react to Billboard's Top 10 R&B Artists of All Time, and debates Jim Jones vs. Nas—catalogs, careers, and who really deserves legendary status.

In this fiery episode of The Common Knowledge Podcast with Marcus L-Spade Johnson, we ask the real question: Why are folks suddenly wondering where all the Black faces are at these protests? Historically, Black Americans have been on the frontlines of justice, yet we're constantly blamed for the nation's problems—crime, unrest, division. But let's be real: White Americans voted Trump in—twice—and now his reckless actions, like bombing Iran to please Israel, might be dragging us into WW3. Y'all broke it. Y'all go fix it. Black America is just here with popcorn, watching this familiar movie play all over again.#WW3 #TrumpBombsIran #BlackVoicesMatter #BlackPodcast #TheCommonKnowledgePodcast #MarcusLSpade #PoliticalSatire #MiddleEastConflict #AntiWarVoices #WhyWeProtest #TrumpDrama #IranCrisis #IsraelPolitics #SitThisOneOut #BlackCommentary #FlipFlopPresident #ProtestFatigue #WW3Watch #HistoryRepeats #PodcastLife #SpotifyPodcasts #ApplePodcasts #ViralPodcasts #BlackCreators #NoMoreScapegoats

Together, they discuss the power of manifestation, the importance of community, maintaining high vibrational energy, and the spiritual practices that anchor them. They also reflect on the shifting landscape of television and why diverse Black stories matter more than ever.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a former Army captain, joins us to call it out. Then Capitol Hill gets heated.... Congressman Seth Moulton confronts Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over explosive allegations of leaked classified information. We'll say goodbye to a legend. Harlem's own Congressman Charles Rangel is laid to rest. Tonight, we honor the legacy of a man who broke barriers and built bridges for Black America.
