This is what I get for taking a month off because SO much has happened, and it's been nothing but twists and turns. We're talking Suffolk University letting students co-major in AI, ASU launching a degree for aspiring influencers while the U.S. loses 23,000 jobs, YouTube making it harder to get paid, and the latest mess surrounding Jools Lebron. We also have to talk about what's happening to Haitians as TPS ends, the questions surrounding Nolan Wells' death, Trump administration drama, NABJ handing out its Thumbs Down awards, Invest Fest backlash, Luigi Mangione, Flock cameras and the conversation around progressives and Black voters. Then somehow the billionaires went shopping for the Lakers and EA, FIFA switched things up, and pop culture gave us even MORE to discuss. Grab your drink because clearly, we have completely lost the plot. IG: Itswista IG/YouTube/Substack: wordswithwista
Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money. (Film is available to watch on Tubi for free).Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Stephen A. Smith took a beating from the National Association of Black Journalists — a "thumbs down" that landed less like disapproval and more like a middle finger.

A former professional basketball player is running to become South Carolina's first Black governor. Dr. Jermaine Johnson will explain why he's the best man for the job.

Attorney General Todd Blanche is considering seeking the Supreme Court's intervention to compel states to hand over voter rolls.

After the NABJ awarded Stephen A. Smith with the "thumbs down award,' it didn't take long before he responded. After addressing the issue on his own podcast, he took to MAGA media to explain himself further. Why FOX News? Why News Nation? Why is Officer Tater defending him too? Join Don to break this down.
Stephen A. Smith was obviously hurt by the NABJ giving him the "thumbs down" award. He spoke about it on his own show and told his side of the story. But why did he then go and choose to appear on MAGA media like Sean Hannity's show on FOX? DL Hughley thinks that this is just another example of the problem with Stephen A. Smith to begin with.

Get ready, Fearless Army! Jason Whitlock rips into the WNBA's self-serving narrative, declaring we've gone from the "age of suffrage" to "suffer-age" as Commissioner Cathy Engelbert takes credit for Caitlin Clark's monumental success. Engelbert claims the WNBA was "ready to capitalize" on the buzz around Clark and Angel Reese. But Whitlock exposes the audacious lie: The league's "success" isn't due to brilliance but is solely propelled by a "singularly exceptional group of college players" like Clark, who shattered viewership records. Jason dissects every metric, every inflated claim, and every attempt to diminish Clark's individual impact, revealing how the WNBA is desperately trying to co-opt her stardom while simultaneously allowing her to be targeted. This episode isn't just about the WNBA's grift; it's about the broader feminization of sports and media. We'll expose the absurdity of a woman running for NABJ president and the ongoing travesty of male athletes competing in women's sports. Then, Steve Kim joins the fray to further expose the media's desperate attempts to control the narrative around Caitlin Clark. Why are figures like Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright suddenly calling Clark the "biggest star"? We'll dive into the uncomfortable exchange between Pascal Siakam and reporter Greg Doyel and pull the curtain back on LeBron James getting ruthlessly dunked on.

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss the National Association of Black Journalists facing backlash over Trump's Q&AF, Joe Biden celebrating a prisoner-swap deal with Russia, and the Global stock market meltdown as fears grow the US economy will collapse.
Donald Trump doubles down on the racism and birtherism he unleashed onstage at the NABJ convention—repeating his attacks in social media posts and even a rally backdrop. Jon and Dan talk about what Trump's strategy might be, whether he's feeling buyer's remorse about JD Vance, and the latest on Kamala Harris's VP short list. Then, Project 2025 says it's winding down policy operations. Will it live on in Democrats' campaigns? For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Former President Donald Trump participated in a tense Q&A at a convention for Black journalists in Chicago. After nearly 20 years, the case against the three alleged planners of the 9/11 attacks has concluded, and two killings of top Hamas and Hezbollah leaders within 24 hours are raising fears of reprisals that could ignite a regional war in the Middle East.

Stacey describes the scene at Kamala Harris's big rally in Atlanta on Tuesday and offers her takes on the JD Vance disaster and how Harris should defend herself from right-wing attacks.
