Podcasts about Black culture

Today I bring back Troy-Jeffrey Allen, because I know when he has a project he will pull something from directly from the culture and have my head spinning. Whether its been tackling Public Enemy, ODB, MF Doom, and even Josephine Baker, Troy takes signature obscure characters in Music and Black Culture and delivers an amazing homage. Deltron Eternal is a tribute to the Supergroup of Deltron 3030 consisting of (Del the Funky Homosapien, Dan the Automater, and Kid Koala). The story blends their lyrics of Sci-Fi and Consciousness into a vivid journey seen to define backpack rap and the Alternative Aesthetic of Hip Hop in the early 2000's.Written by Troy-Jeffrey AllenIllustrated by Ben PerkinsLettered by James Easterly

Hey ya'll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 111 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"What Are You Waiting For?” Lot's of people are in (or preparing to enter) what they're now calling the “winter arc.” As we begin to approach Q4 of 2026, it's time to think about all of the things we want to accomplish and the strategies that we will use to be successful (both individually and collectively). This episode encourages us to think more deeply about what it means as a community. Only those hiding under a rock have missed conversations around Nikole Hannah-Jones' article about the decisions she and her husband made related to her daughter's education. I wanted to share with you my thoughts both as someone who works in education and as someone who studies the history of Black education in the United States. Here's the secret, she's certainly not the first person to reach similar conclusions and we owe her the grace of understanding the historical context within which her decision was made. I'll use Ryan Clark's new Pivot sports show to discuss what I think many of us should be doing right now, and I'd love to hear your take on it. As a matter of fact, I'd love to hear what you think about all of these ideas. And, if you're really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast. Send me an email at drtip@tellemtiptoldyou.com. After you tune in, let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a 5-star review and if you're interested, here's the website for the Shine Program: www.shineprofessionaldevelopment.com..

In this episode, Donna and Sam sat down with Joseph Middlebrooks, the Economic Growth Manager at Eastside Community Network (ECN) to discuss the upcoming Sustainability Summit, where environmental wellness meets local entrepreneurship and community connection. From rooftop solar power and battery storage that supports real energy resilience to new public space improvements tied to the Angela Brown Wilson Gardens - they get into all of the exciting things taking place at ECN. They also discuss why shopping local is not a side note. It is economic sustainability, a circular economy, and a way to help Detroit small businesses turn ideas into stable growth through technical assistance, resources, and partnerships.Then they shift to the week's biggest civic conversation: the Renaissance Center redevelopment proposal, the $548 million public ask, and the community benefits ordinance process. Together, they break down how the Neighborhood Advisory Council works, why impact areas matter, what accountability could look like through clawbacks and public reporting, and why affordable housing targets tied to AMI can miss the realities of Detroit incomes.To stay up to date on all things Authentically Detroit, click here. WHAT WE'RE READING THIS WEEK IN THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE:BEDROCK, GM WANT $548M FOR $2.2B RENAISSANCE CENTER REDEVELOPMENTSupport the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

In this episode, Donna and Sam discuss whether Black voters in Detroit are actually moving toward Republicans in the 2026 cycle, or if the story has been overstated by headlines and echo chambers. They also weigh in on what Abdul El-Sayed's candidacy reveals about coalition politics, media narratives, and the double standards candidates of color face.

Send us Fan MailEverybody wants Black culture—but does everybody respect the people who created it?On this episode of the Concrete Genius Pod, Sauce Mackenzie examines the worldwide influence of Black American culture and asks a harder question: when does appreciation become exploitation?From the obsession with Chicago and hip-hop culture to the way Black music, slang, fashion, style and entertainment travel around the world, Sauce challenges people who consume Black culture every day while criticizing or disrespecting Black Americans.Every community has problems. So why does Black dysfunction so often become entertainment, while Black creativity becomes something everyone feels entitled to copy, critique and profit from?This is a conversation about culture, ownership, respect, influence and the difference between loving what Black America creates and respecting Black Americans themselves.

Black culture influences music, fashion, entertainment and popular culture around the world—but has that visibility translated into actual power? Rashad Robinson joins Ashley2LOUD in Houston for a special Talking 2LOUD conversation surrounding his book From Presence to Power. They discuss the difference between cultural visibility and real power, our expectations of celebrities and politicians, why movements—not individual leaders—create lasting change, and what Black America should be paying closer attention to right now. Robinson also explains why identifying who profits from injustice may be one of the keys to changing it. Talking 2LOUD — Real people. Real conversations. A louder Houston. 2LOUDMAG.COM

In this episode, Donna and Sam sat down with Jamila Martin from the Movement Voter Project to discuss the political environment on the left - generational divides, growth of a multi-cultural coalition, and the widespread rejection of corporate politics. The Movement Voter Project funds local organizing and movement-building to shift culture, win power, and shape policy. MVP is like a “mutual fund” for political giving: they raise money from donors, then channel it toward the most impactful organizations and power-building work around the country.They do the research so you don't have to, streamlining your giving and maximizing your impact by investing in the most effective organizations and innovative strategies. They believe to build a progressive era, we need governing majorities, political will for bold policy change, and shifts in public opinion, worldviews, and culture.MVP is contributing to this plan in three key ways: mobilizing historic investment in organizing, providing wrap-around support to build groups' capacity, and catalyzing collaboration at all levels.To stay up to date on all things Authentically Detroit, click here. WHAT WE'RE READING THIS WEEK:JUST BE A REAL PERSON FIRST.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when two men who actually lived street life sit down decades later and look at the culture through grown-man eyes?John Louden and Rell G go back to being teenagers in Gary, Indiana—when violence was real, survival was part of the environment, being fresh mattered, and the streets came with consequences that couldn't be hidden behind an algorithm.They break down how environment shapes young men, how social media changed street culture, the rise of drill music, the glorification of violence, and why today's generation is exposed to death and trauma in a way previous generations weren't.The conversation also turns to Chicago, media narratives, culture vultures, masculinity, style, accountability, fatherhood, and the responsibility of men who survived that life to give the next generation knowledge they didn't have.This isn't outsiders analyzing the streets.It's two men who lived it, survived it, grew from it—and can finally see the damage differently.Concrete Genius Podcast with John Louden & Rell G.Support the show

Host John X opens with a tribute to Dolly Parton, praising her philanthropy and business decisions, and notes the recent deaths of other music figures including Clyde Davis. The panel then debates Anthony Mackie's quote, “We are lying to our kids. Success is given, it's not earned,” arguing that outcomes are often chosen through networking, nepotism, and gatekeeping, citing stats about hiring favoring personal connections. Economic decline, job loss, AI fears, and anger from white Americans as old advantages erode. Qualified immunity and political corruption, reform requires removing money from politics. 00:00 Show Intro and Cast 01:34 Remembering Dolly Parton 03:05 Dolly Legacy and Business 06:02 Online Takes and Community 09:06 Success Is Given Debate 12:17 Denzel Example and Integrity 15:44 Nepotism and Networking 21:27 Economy Policing and Targets 30:18 AI Fear and Real Skills 33:32 Opposite World and Division 36:37 Paid Dissension and Judas 37:52 Anger at Sellouts 39:35 Training Shapes Policing 40:35 Firefighters Versus Cops 42:14 Accountability And Lawsuits 43:45 Money In Politics 46:06 America And Global Power 50:20 Education And Economic Apathy 52:36 Culture Wars And Identity 54:15 Rage Online Versus Love 01:00:54 Coalitions Over Infighting 01:05:42 Black Girls Targeted 01:09:15 Community Love Call 01:12:07 Relationships And Adaptation 01:14:37 Final Wrap And Tributes

In this episode, Donna and Sam sat down with Tiara Jones, founder of Black Beautiful and Brilliant to discuss how their brand is centering identity, legacy, resilience, and empowering our community.Black Beautiful & Brilliant was created with Black women at the center. It exists as inspiration — to affirm their worth, reflect their power, and remind them of who they are, even in seasons that try to break them. This brand speaks to the woman who shows up, who carries generations, who holds it together, and still chooses to rise.The brand was first imagined by Tiara's late husband, Brian, long before they met. He believed deeply in the brilliance of Black women — in their resilience, intelligence, and ability to create something meaningful even in the face of adversity. He believed Black women deserved to be celebrated boldly and unapologetically, not just for what they endure, but for who they are.To stay up to date on all things Authentically Detroit, click here. THIS WEEK IN THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE:CONYERS, BURTON, GILMER-HILL HIGHLIGHT NEW MEMBERS TO DETROIT'S LEGISLATIVE CAUCUSMICHIGAN DEMOCRATS RALLY FOR UNITY AFTER CONTENTIOUS PRIMARY Support the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Black men are highly visible in American culture, but increasingly absent from the places where long-term economic security is built: college campuses, stable employment, homeownership, and wealth. Why is that happening, and what do we do about it? Dr. Wes Bellamy joins Angela to discuss the new report, The Economic State of Black Men and Boys in the United States, and what the data reveals about the economic path Black men are navigating from childhood into adulthood. This is a conversation about more than unemployment numbers. It is about education, work, wealth, opportunity, and whether the institutions responsible for supporting Black men are actually meeting the moment.

Welcome back to Talk My Credo Podcast EP217!This week, the crew tackles a difficult but necessary question:What is the difference between Black culture and “ghetto” culture—and have we made the mistake of treating them as the same thing?The conversation begins with each member defining what the word “ghetto” means to them before examining the traditions, values, creativity, history, and shared experiences that make up Black culture.Are destructive behaviors sometimes defended simply because they exist within parts of the Black community? Does criticizing those behaviors unfairly attack Black people—or can honest criticism help protect and strengthen the culture?The crew debates whether struggle has become confused with identity, whether stereotypes are being reinforced from within and outside the community, and how we can separate authentic Black culture from behaviors that should not define an entire people.After the main discussion, the crew returns with The Shenanigan Report, covering the LeBron James-to-Philadelphia conversation, a heated Panthers versus Cowboys debate, Donald Trump's latest antics, a review of Kevin Hart's 72 Hours, Dee's new tattoo, and plenty of classic Talk My Credo foolishness.In this episode:✊ Black culture versus “ghetto” culture

Born in Trouble (July Ep. 1): Race Politics, DEI Myths, Social Media Brain Rot & the Future of Power Host John X reunites with Grant “City Wing King” Lancaster and Andrew Johnson (Men, Money and Marriage) for the first July episode of Born in Trouble, ranging from humor to a wide discussion on racism, Argentina's history and demographics, and how race narratives play out in the U.S. They debate backlash to casting Black actors in fictional and historical roles, argue that DEI is scapegoated while “white entitlement incompetence” is ignored, and share personal experiences with hiring and promotions. The conversation criticizes social media for amplifying poorly processed information, links declining literacy and screen-based schooling to reduced recall and conversation skills, and touches on voting challenges in rural Black communities in states like Mississippi amid demographic shifts. 00:00 July Episode Kickoff 01:39 Afro Banter Reunion 03:18 Argentina Race Talk 06:40 History Of Erasure 09:47 Casting Culture Wars 11:44 Jaylen Brown And Control 17:13 Umar And Interracial Fears 23:46 Social Media Brain Rot 27:20 DEI Myths And Reality 30:56 White Entitlement Incompetence 33:02 Degrees Aren't Intelligence 33:50 Illiteracy and Screen Learning 35:07 Phones and Keeping Kids Smart 36:31 Free Speech Shelf Life 37:34 Mississippi Justice and Racism 40:17 Demographics and Voting Power 44:25 Politics Bought and Sold 47:22 Jobs, AI, and K Economy 49:57 Near Death and No Patience 54:16 Youth Must Lead Change 56:58 Indoctrination and Culture Wars 01:01:21 Conversation and Closing Out 01:02:42 Stop Fearing Being Smart 01:05:06 Empathy as a Nation's Test

Judson prepares to celebrate Pride in Albany just as Brian returns from Pride in West Hollywood. Judson declares the season High-Signal Summer after his signature brand of overt homosexuality attracts a new friend from across two streets. Brian spars with his second grader's teachers when they won't approve the book he plans to read to her class for Pride, and he is called out by his fifth grader for having Grindr on his phone. Judson appears on the second season of the documentary series Finding Fire Island. The Hookup of the Week finds our listener reuniting at a bathhouse with a favorite hookup from years past who happens to be a Daddy Bear Pornstar. Brian and Judson are then joined by global superstar - and a Grand Marshal of the 2026 New York City Pride March - Peppermint! An actress, singer, and comedian who rose to international fame on Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race and has become one of the most prominent voices in the fight for trans inclusion everywhere, Peppermint talks about the current barriers keeping trans people from living happy and healthy lives, why fighting for civil rights is a core part of her being, why she chose to audition for RuPaul's Drag Race, why her season wasn't appreciated at the time, the divisive Drag Race queen she admits is one of her favorites to tour with, and the extreme expense of drag competitions. She also details how she was required to audition for the role based on - and named for - her on Netflix's Survival of the Thickest, how she finds confidence through gratitude, her relationship with dating, what dating is like for trans women, and so much more. To close, Peppermint joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who joined a gay sports league in an effort to make friends, only to find his team unwelcoming and uninterested in camaraderie. He wants to know whether there is any hope of finding gay fellowship or whether he should prepare for a future full of impenetrable cliques.

In this episode, Donna and Sam ran down some of the hottest political topics across the city including Mike Duggan's exit from the governor's race, Detroit's census case, UAW endorsements, money out of politics, and more!They also discuss Juneteenth and the importance of telling the story of Black people's freedom. The word "Juneteenth" bleeds "June" and "nineteenth," and the day is the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. It became a federal holiday in 2021.Juneteenth marks the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, Texas. Many enslaved people already knew about the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. What they lacked was the power to make freedom real. Union troops enforced emancipation and helped transform freedom from a proclamation into a reality. Freedom on paper and freedom in practice were not always the same thing. Juneteenth reminds us that freedom delayed is freedom denied — and freedom enforced changes lives.To stay up to date on all things Authentically Detroit, click here. THIS WEEK IN THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE:SHEFFIELD BACKS BENSON IN MICHIGAN GOVERNOR'S RACE Support the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. 

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant tackles a difficult but necessary conversation about what some have called "Black Fatigue," the frustration and exhaustion that comes from repeatedly seeing destructive behaviors that hurt the Black community and reinforce negative stereotypes. Alex says he wishes we could have a players-only meeting and deal honestly with some of the issues holding black people back. Using clips from a variety of Black voices, leaders, commentators, and cultural influencers, he highlights those who have been sounding the alarm for years. But this episode isn't just about identifying problems. It's about finding solutions. Drawing from the words of Tupac Shakur, Alex argues that real change begins when we change the way we think, the way we live, and the way we treat each other. This is a candid conversation about responsibility, culture, and the path forward. #TWWSI, #BlackFatigue, #BlackCulture, #CommunityLeadership, #PersonalResponsibility, #CultureChange, #Tupac, #FaithAndCulture, #RealTalk, #PastorAlexBryant, #TheWayWeSeeIt, #LeadershipMatters, #ChangeStartsWithUs, #StrongerTogether #Tupac Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.
