“Detroit is different… it's all because of the melanin that we're getting from the sun.” In this Detroit is Different conversation, Brother Chungalia—an original member of the US Organization founded by Dr. Maulana Karenga, creator of Kwanzaa, and among the first to celebrate it—takes us from post-riot Los Angeles to the deep roots of Black Detroit. He calls his move here “inevitable,” recalling LA's Congress building politics—“Jesse Jackson had an office there”—and the discipline of a movement that spoke Swahili daily. He stitches together Conant Gardens, Paradise Valley, and the Blue Bird Inn with a moment of Black memory so wild it feels like spirit work: “She remembered me… from 1959 and spotted me in 1974,” leading to “the only time I cried tears of joy.” From there, he flips elder testimony into future blueprint—“What's the most important thing in your whole life?… breathing”—and warns that “technology is killing humanity,” pushing him to claim, “I'd rather be known… as a humanitarian,” even while rooted in Black nationalism. This episode is a bridge between the past that made Detroit's African-centered movement possible and the future our children deserve—where the Nguza Saba isn't nostalgia, it's a survival manual for Legacy Black culture today. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

GOP gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox, the former state attorney general, says he gives Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a grade of D for her performance and took a shot at his Republican opponent, Congressman John James. "I'll give her a D alright, and for this reason," Cox said of Whitmer during an appearance Wednesday night on the podcast/videocast, Detroit in Black and White. "We've grown the size of state government by $27 billion over the past seven years; so I ask any of you, what new programs or services have you gotten for that $27 billion?"Nothing. In fact, the damn roads still haven't been fixed," he told the co-hosts Adolph Mongo, Vanessa Moss, Allan Lengel and Jim Nardone. Cox said he covets President Trump's endorsement, saying he'd be foolish not to. And he said this of his primary opponent John James: "John James is a good enough dude. But you know he kind of reminds me of what something Adolph Mongo's old boss Coleman Young once said...about Jesse Jackson: 'He ain't run nothing but his mouth.'"Cox also expressed concern about education in Michigan, saying that a large chunk of the budget is dedicated to education, but the results are poor.He also said he would support the use of National Guard troops and ICE agents in Detroit.  "I wouldn't turn down any federal help one bit," he said.

At the age of 83, Jesse Jackson has a long career behind him as one of the most influential Black activists of the past century. As a civil rights leader, activist, shadow senator, presidential candidate, and ordained Baptist minister, he has been at the center of the public eye and a thorn in his opponents' sides. Now CNN anchor and author Abby Phillip comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to share the story of Jackson, focusing on his presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988. In both campaigns, he was initially viewed as a fringe candidate yet went on to surprisingly strong finishes—third place in 1984 and runner-up to nominee Michael Dukakis in 1988.  How did he do it? How did he build a coalition that appealed to urban working-class people, college students, and Southern Blacks? That coalition would go on to become a core part of many Democratic presidential campaigns in the decades following the 1980s. Drawing on his time working with Martin Luther King, Jr., his organization of the SLCC's Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and elsewhere, and his deep southern roots, Jackson mounted campaigns that gave hope to many people who had been overlooked by the major parties.  Join us in-person or online to learn more about the man Phillip explores in her new book Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power.

Order The Barbarian Way now!https://www.amazon.com/Barbarian-Way-Unleash-Untamed-Within/dp/1400257395In this episode of The Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron and Erwin McManus dive into the complexities of discussing politics in today's hyper-polarized culture, starting with their recent experiences in New York City. They share stories from a packed live recording at Mosaic NYC, the logistical chaos of hosting events, and the cultural contrast between dense cities like New York and isolated countries like Iceland. From there, the conversation turns toward the risks of political honesty, recalling moments when speaking their convictions cost them friends, clients, and public support. Erwin reflects on the long legacy of political engagement among religious leaders—from Jesse Jackson to Martin Luther King Jr.—and contrasts it with today's climate of censorship, conformity, and moral fragility. Aaron and Erwin discuss the tension between their pastoral roles and their responsibility to address real cultural issues, noting how social media outrage and ideological pressure have made genuine dialogue nearly impossible. Through personal anecdotes, historical context, and candid reflections, they call for a return to intellectual resilience, open disagreement, and meaningful conversation—arguing that without honest discourse, a true democracy cannot thrive.Join the Mind Shift community here: http://erwinmcmanus.com/mindshiftpodFollow On Socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@ErwinRaphaelMcManushttps://instagram.com/mindshiftpodhttps://instagram.com/erwinmcmanushttps://instagram.com/aaroncmcmanusJoin The Newsletter!https://erwinmcmanus.com/newsletter

New York Sun columnist Dean Karayanis welcomes back his long-time teammate on Rush Limbaugh's highly overrated staff, George “Koko” Prayias. George urges Trump World to focus on the economy, because people aren't feeling it — and the president's style is to say everything is great. George also shares a story from his days producing The Drudge Report about meeting Jesse Jackson and uses it to cap a discussion on the hatred that's being aimed at the right, but also the infiltration of conservative media by conmen (and women) who are only out to capture your clicks. Katherine “Katie” Couric pushes and prods John Fetterman to denounce Charlie Kirk, but he'll have none of it. Plus, J.D. Vance starts doing the sort of teaching about how Covid-era spending, supercharged by Joe Biden, led to inflation — and that it can't be cured overnight.
