️ New Episode of Black Talk Radio News: "UnitedHealth Lawsuit Exposes the Cruelty of For-Profit Healthcare" Hosted by Scotty Reid | Black Talk Media Project In this episode, Scotty Reid breaks down the latest class action lawsuit filed by investors against UnitedHealth Group—the largest health insurer in the U.S.—and exposes the deeper issue that corporate media won't touch: the devastating harm of America's for-profit healthcare system. As investors cry over lost billions, millions of Americans suffer without adequate care. Scotty compares this capitalist healthcare nightmare with more humane, publicly funded models in countries like Cuba and China—where health is treated as a human right, not a business opportunity.

From authoritarian policies to militarism and scapegoating, both Democratic and Republican administrations have employed strategies that align with fascist principles.

In this episode of BTR News w/ Scotty Reid, titled "We Should Have Never Fought For Freedom & Respect? What is she talking about?" host Scotty Reid addresses recent comments by a Black woman questioning whether Black Americans should have fought for integration. Scotty examines the historical realities of the Jim Crow period, emphasizing why the struggle for freedom, equality, and basic respect was essential for Black communities. He critiques her attempt to connect Donald Trump's stance against gender-affirming care with the broader Black struggle for civil rights, pointing out the dangers of conflating separate issues. Scotty brings context to the conversation by spotlighting the systemic discrimination Black people faced under segregation, challenging revisionist narratives that overlook the necessity of fighting for equal rights.

In this episode of Black Talk Radio News w/ Scotty Reid, we're taking a deep dive into Vice President Kamala Harris' record on criminal justice reform and prison labor. As California's Attorney General, Harris' office defended the overcrowded prison conditions and argued against the early release of nonviolent offenders, citing concerns about losing cheap inmate labor for state programs like firefighting. We'll examine how these pro-labor arguments shaped California's justice system, contrasting her past silence on criminal justice reform. Support Black Talk Media!

Welcome to BTR NEWS w/ Scotty Reid as I broadcast from behind the enemy lines of Corporate USA. We have a guest joining us tonight who has a different opinion on the African Monarchs than I do and since it is Black History month, they are part of that history even if only a negative part, but I said sure why not let's have that discussion? I also want to talk about the emotionalism and uncodified behavior I've witnessed in the wake of the killing of Tyre Nichols. One thing that caught my eye as well as that of the suspected racist podcast hosts, is the Rev. Al Sharpton's claim at the funeral for Mr. Nichols when he told the family that if he were white (Tyre), it would not have happened to him. This statement is both uncodified and incorrect and when I pointed this out online, a black woman whom I don't know blocked me on social media because of her emotionalism when confronted with irrefutable facts that all kinds of people get snuffed out by police in the USA. Why is it so hard for some people, of all ethnicities and skin colors, to believe that hundreds of white people are among the body counts of those who died at the hands of cops? It just seems to me that instead of discussing realistic solutions to the problem of police violence, some of my peers keep repeating the same arguments about how it is linked to white supremacy that they made the last time a black person was killed by cops on camera. Policing today is linked to 21st Century Slavery and today all demographics across racial lines are falling victim to the same system and the slave catchers come in all colors, religions, and genders. Would love to hear from the listeners if they have anything they would like to discuss in the context of tonight's discussion.

BTR News - Seven of the twelve jurors who sat on the Derek Chauvin trial are speaking out about some of the behind-the-scenes jury deliberations.  On May 25, 2020, on a street in front of a convenience store, George Floyd would be murdered on video by cops in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Multiple videos taken by eyewitnesses were uploaded to the internet and circulated widely, sparking a renewed focus on police violence in the United States. The videos compelled more people to go out into the streets to demand justice for Floyd and demand an end to the brutalization and killing of US citizens by US law enforcement. Derek Chauvin, the now-convicted murderer, was the first of four officers to go on trial for charges related to Mr. Floyd's killing. Chavin was facing three charges. unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter during his trial back in April of 2021.  The seven jurors appearing on Don Lemon Tonight revealed that all jurors were in agreement that Chauvin was guilty on the unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter charges, but the jurors were split on the third-degree murder charge. After some discussion, there was one moment that shifted jurors' opinions from not guilty to guilty according to the jurors on Don Lemon's show. Chauvin was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for his part in the killing of George Floyd. The video of the killing caused empathic reactions around the world as people signaled solidarity with the protestors and activists seeking justice for George Floyd. Many who saw the images of Chauvin nonchalantly kneeling Floyd's neck 9 minutes and 29 seconds while the other three officers knelt on his back and legs, were disturbed by the behavior of officers showing no empathy as a human being begged for his life calling out for his dead mother with his final breaths. The murder sparked calls within Minneapolis to reduce the city's number of cops and to reimagine public safety under the lens of public health and not deploy armed officers to answer mental health calls to reduce unnecessary fatalities that impact the victim, the victim's families, the officers, and their families and the wider community. An initiative was put forth to voters called Ballot proposal No. 2. The proposal asks voters whether the city charter should be amended to remove its requirement that the city has a police department with a minimum staffing level and if passed would allow the city officials to reimagine policing the community's elected representatives.

Deathrow inmate's clemency hearing delayed A clemency hearing for Oklahoma death row inmate Julius Jones scheduled for Tuesday has been delayed for a week while his legal challenge is pending in federal court. Jones maintains his innocence and says he was set up by a former friend who was the prosecution's main witness against him. However, during his trial, a juror was reported after his trial for racial bias. MSNBC's Ari Melber talks about the case. Additionally, for Jones, he and five other death row inmates are seeking to be reinstated into a federal lawsuit, challenging Oklahoma's lethal injection protocol. A federal district judge on Monday rejected the inmates' request, and their attorneys immediately appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. According to Wisconsin Judge, Victims of Shooting Are Rioters and Looters Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder says, victims can not be called victims but can be called rioters, arsonists, and looters in the recent pre-trial hearing of alleged Kyle Rittenhouse. On August 25, 2020, amid the Kenosha unrest that had been preceded by the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Kyle Rittenhouse, a then 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, was driven to Kenosha by his mother where he shot and killed two people and wounded another during multiple confrontations at two locations. Rittenhouse's defense attorney argued the shootings should be weighed against the wider context of what was happening that night. "All of that lawlessness, all of the facts and circumstances surrounding what is going on, is relevant in terms of Kyle Rittenhouse's conduct. I think it's impossible to say that it's not." The three men shot by Rittenhouse have never been charged with any crime related to the protests against police brutality that occurred on the night of August 25, 2020, nor has any evidence surfaced to suggest that they had. It is as if the Judge wants to try the victims in his court and not the person tried with murdered and attempted murder among other criminal charges. Thomas Binger, the prosecutor, argued Monday that any behavior Rosenbaum, Huber or Grosskreutz may have participated in that night could lead the jury to believe they were arsonists, rioters or looters wasn't witnessed by Rittenhouse and shouldn't be part of his defense. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger argued the judge was setting up a "double standard" due to his longstanding rule of not allowing prosecutors to refer to people as "victims" at trial. "If I were to count the number of times that you've admonished me not to call someone a victim during a trial, it would be in the thousands," Binger said. "The word 'victim' is a loaded, loaded word. And I think 'alleged victim' is a cousin to it," Judge Schroeder said. But Binger disagreed, telling the judge, "I think it's the exact same issue. The terms that I'm identifying here, such as 'rioters,' 'looters,' 'arsonists,' are as loaded, if not more loaded, than the term 'victim.'

BTR News w/ Scotty Reid welcomes author, social media creator, and self-care advocate M.J. Fievre about her recent book series "Badass Black Girl". Fievre has been writing since she was 19 years old when she first signed a publishing contract and her writings are known throughout Europe and the French Antilles after nine books she wrote in French were published. In addition to discussing her latest book series focused on Black women, hopefully, we can get her opinion on reporting and opinions coming out for and against world number two tennis pro Naomi Osaka's decision to withdraw from one tennis major and skip another citing self-care reasons. Nomia Oska's father was born in Haiti and like Richard Williams, father of the tennis greats Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, Leonard François taught Naomi and her sister Mari Osaka to play tennis at an early age to prepare them for success in the world of professional tennis, a white-dominated field in terms of the industry hierarchy and ownership. While Serena and Venus have been trailblazers for Black women in professional tennis, some have also said Naomi Osaka is a trailblazer in mental self-care to deal with the media circus that often can be challenging and taxing for Black professional athletes across sports. Make sure you check out M.J. Fievre's work on https://www.badassblackgirl.com/ and follow her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/badassblackgirlbooks/
