Podcasts about social justice issues

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we're taking a closer look at criminal justice—through the lens of abolition, accountability, and the power of the creative arts to tell fuller, truer stories.  This week we'll explore how artists like Akinsanya Kambon bring histories of colonization and liberation to life—connecting past and present in ways that demand we rethink punishment, justice, and repair. Subscribe to Laura on Substack Description [original release date September 2025]: With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Kambon was a member of the Sacramento chapter of the Black Panther Party where he worked on the layout and illustration of the party's famous paper and became lieutenant for culture, illustrating among other things the party's ten point plan and works for young people. In 2023, he won the prestigious Mohn Award — the top prize given by the Hammer Museum for his participation in their biennial “Made in LA” show, titled Acts of Living. His one-man show opened in Beverly Hills at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in April 2025. An exhibition of his work will open at the New York Sculpture Center in May 2026. In this unique conversation, Flanders asks Kambon about his own survival stories, including his polio diagnosis, getting drafted into the Vietnam War, and his year on death row. Kambon was arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer and was later acquitted from that high-profile Oak Park Four case. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive, and catch Flanders' commentary on today's fight to control our nation's stories. “Art educates the masses of people. Not Black or white or Asian, this educates the masses of young people to our struggle, to how long they're struggling and how it's connected.” - Akinsanya Kambon “I thought of myself as an artist even when I was a child, because art was therapy for me . . . I used to always seem like I would always take the side of the underdog.” - Akinsanya Kambon Guest:  Akinsanya Kambon, Artist, Former Marine, Black Panther & Art Professor Special thanks: Cynthia Wornham, Annie Philbin, Marc Selwyn Fine Art    Additional Credits: Additional Crew:  Marco Amador, Producciones Cimarrón  Clips from the documentary short- "Akinsanya Kambon The Hero Avenges," Produced by The Hammer Museum;  Directed by Gabriel Noguez and Sean Rowry.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're talking about “law enforcement” and why so many people no longer feel like laws are actually being enforced equally or consistently, especially when it comes to powerful and well-connected individuals connected to the Epstein scandal.We discuss the growing public frustration surrounding the unreleased and heavily redacted Epstein files, the lack of visible accountability for elite predators, and why so many Americans feel the justice system has failed women, children, and vulnerable people. We also talk about why local police departments, sheriffs, prosecutors, and public officials should be demanding full transparency and supporting the release of the complete unredacted Epstein files so the public can see the truth plainly.This episode also goes into the broader leadership crisis facing America and much of the world: weak leadership, fear of confrontation, and silence in the face of corruption. We discuss the need for stronger moral leadership, stronger families, stronger communities, and men willing to stand up publicly against evil instead of shrinking back from difficult conversations.If laws are not enforced equally, trust in institutions collapses. If justice is selective, people stop believing justice exists at all.It's time for courage, accountability, truth, and leadership again.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

As December temperatures plunge below freezing, it becomes painfully apparent that while churches often advocate for helping the underprivileged, their doors frequently remain closed when it matters most. A homeless man was found dead in Toledo, raising critical questions about why faith-based institutions do not open their doors as warming centers during dire circumstances. With many churches only utilized a few times a week, it seems they could make a meaningful difference during these harsh conditions. Instead, many individuals within the church community have seemingly bought into the stigmatization of the homeless, seeing them as "dirty" or morally culpable rather than as fellow humans deserving of compassion.Then we note the troubling rise of right-wing influence in the media, particularly through a CBS prime-time town hall featuring Erika Kirk, widow of far-right figure Charlie Kirk. The event, moderated by conservative commentator Bari Weiss, is framed as an exploration of grief, faith, and politics. The event is propaganda that perpetuates harmful narratives around women's roles, echoing the anti-feminist sentiments that Charlie Kirk espoused before his death. Erica's position as the new face of Kirk's organization is rife with irony. A former businesswoman, she is now expected to uphold her late husband's regressive vision of womanhood, which discourages career pursuits in favor of traditional domestic roles.We then look at the potential severing of ties between the U.S. military and Scouting America due to the organization's evolving stance on inclusiveness, particularly with the inclusion of girls and LGBTQ+ individuals. The federal government should cut ties, years ago, because the scouts exclude atheists.We also slip in an update on legal developments involving Pastor Chris Avell and his efforts to operate a homeless shelter in his church's complex, in Bryan, Ohio, as he battles local ordinances. The situation raises significant questions about the intersection of religious freedom and public safety.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Substantial inequities remain across Australian society, including but not limited to homelessness, energy and water justice, and disability rights. Here, we unpack where we're at in combating pervasive social injustice and what the legal profession can be doing more of. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Justice and Equity Centre chief executive Jonathon Hunyor about how and why he became so interested in social justice work, how well Australia is faring in addressing social inequities relative to other jurisdictions, the polarisation of public debate, and the extent to which Australian practitioners want to advocate for social justice. Hunyor also delves into the state of affairs on homelessness, disability rights, civil rights, First Nations people, and energy and water justice, how lawyers can do more to help, how legal employers can and should view their corporate social responsibility, and why the Public Interest Advocacy Centre has changed its name to the Justice and Equity Centre.

The Town of Farragut completed a 180-degree turn on the Knox County growth plan last week, voting to approve changes proposed by County Mayor Glenn Jacobs just two weeks after first rejecting them. That sets the stage for updating the county's entire planning system, and it leads off this week's episode. Scott and Jesse also talk about Knox County Schools' proposed budget increase for next year, and the state Legislature's moves on internet age verification and arming classroom teachers.

We have had topics from previous episodes regarding Technology Deprivation and how this has a negative impact on segregated minority and black communities in South Central L.A. In today's episode, I will be telling a story about the atrocity of the deprivation of technology to minority and black communities. If you do not know yet, this year, the federal government will spend more than 60 billion to try to correct this tragedy.  As a result of the denial to access the latest technology then Cable Television minorities and black communities become impoverished communities in Los Angeles where gangs and crimes are prevalent.  I discussed here that the damage that Technology Atrocity caused minority and black communities cannot be reversed by the budget I mentioned above.  Tune in to today's episode to learn more about our topic today. Tragedy and Atrocity are well explained here:  “A  tragedy is an event that causes great suffering, destruction, and distress. In general, we look at tragedies as being naturally caused events such as hurricanes and tornadoes, and earthquakes, and atrocity is similar to a tragedy, but the fact is an atrocity is caused by human beings and is done by those who seek to do extremely wicked and cruel. Atrocity is in fact a tragedy. But the reality is the difference between a tragedy and an atrocity is that atrocity is caused by human beings with malice and forethought. That is the issue. The malice and forethought of the behavior of human beings are what make it an atrocity. Yes, tragedy can include events caused by human beings, but these tragedies are really with malice and for.” You may also listen to the past episodes related to this, here:  My trip to the Supreme Court Critical Race Reality: Cable TV Critical Race Reality Government Corruption in the City of L.A.

A dollar is sometimes enough to buy candies, but most of the time it is used to pay for court damages. Some of you may be aware of this, but others may not. If you are found liable for damages, you can receive a minimum payment of 1 US Dollar from the court. The same thing happened to us during Judge Consuelo Marshall's trial in the 1980s.  For the past two weeks, I am telling our story of social injustice, and racism from Black Government Officials, and a Black Lady Judge. As you already know from Episode 31, we won our appellate case against the City of Los Angeles and Judge Marshall's Court.  The damages to our company have been calculated by Dr. Thomas Hasley. One of the leading communications economists in the United States in his sworn deposition. His calculation of damages for our company from 1983 through 1988 because of the ongoing violation of our civil rights, was approximately 70 million.  Judge Marshall whittle down the unanimous verdicts of the appellate court and the United States Supreme Court to $1 our rights as American citizens and 12 years of our lives valued at $1. Judge Marshall explained that she would not allow a jury to determine the damages to be awarded for the deprivation of our rights because any jury determination would be speculative. This can be a perfect example of Black-on-black crime. They committed crimes not just against us but also against Minorities, Black Communities, to the next generation in South Central L.A. I am telling this story because what happened to me (to us) can happen to you. I want to bring awareness to this kind of judicial system and inspire you to fight for your rights.    Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues. https://whatdidyouthink.net/ https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/ https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/ https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/ You can buy my books here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US

When you file a case and you have a strong legal case you will fight until the end like what we did in our fight for our rights. But it could have not been the case because amending the case bleeds money on our side while the city of Los Angeles did not worry about the amount they spent because it is not their money, it is the Taxpayers' money.  You can imagine how many people with strong legal cases, but no financial resources, lost their day in court? How many sleazy politicians, dishonest bureaucrats, and authoritarian personalities got off without so much of a slap on the risk of abusing the power the citizens gave them because of money issues?  In Episode 30 I already discussed how we were able to finance our legal case. In today's episode, I tell a story about my trip to the Supreme Court. The fact that the US Supreme Court would now view our complaint against the city of Los Angeles seems surreal. This is written in my first book Anatomy of a Hustle; Cable Comes to South Central L.A.  Here are the highlights from the book I read: The newspaper made note of the unanimous nine oh decision in favor of preferred communications. A rarity on such a divided court cable television was clearly subject to the protections of the First Amendment, and all the justices remained the case back to the US District Court of Judge Consuelo Marshall for trial when I called my brother Carl, and he looked at the Los Angeles edition of the Los Angeles. To us, the city of Los Angeles was a perfect example of a city government going awry. And make no mistake in our research, Los Angeles's reputation for its corruption of power was replicated many times over in other cities, large and small. They looked to the larger trend-setting cities to define their governing style, what they would become, and what they could get away with. Judge Consuelo ruled in 1980. That there was no possibility that we could have a valid action against the city. It had taken two other courts, three years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money and our friends' personal money just to get the right to ask for our constitutional rights from Judge Consuelo Marshall.

If you are looking for a real example of critical race reality, you must tune in for today's episode because I will give you an exact example of critical race reality. This is critical and racial because approximately half a million mainly  Black Americans in Souther L.A. was get affected. Here I read a chapter from my book Anatomy of a Hustle Cable comes to South Central LA Chapter 11, the Justice Hustle, Part one   If you tune in to our Episode 29 last week it is about Critical Race (Theory) Reality. I mentioned an example of “Critical Race Reality” that happened 40 years ago when a minority group from Southern L.A were denied access to an emerging technology then the Cable Television which leads to poverty, homelessness, and a high crime rate in minority communities at present times.  Just to get clear, no criticism of the theory, because theories are all well and good, but the reality is where we live.  Highlights from the Book For the South Central Cable Television franchise, our suit outlined all the facts and issues regarding the egregious and illegal activities we uncovered in our efforts to obtain the franchise. The case was directed to be heard by US District Court Judge Consuelo Marshall. Surprise surprise, we did our homework on Judge Marshall.” How many others trying to make positive differences in their neighborhoods were tossed out as well? Although we knew what Judge Marshall might do, our cable franchise group was. Tired and near broke. Judge Marshall had sunk any chance we had to refer to the cable franchise case in future court filings with the legal death ray of no right to amend. We were representing South Central, the people living within one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods in the country who could not afford to fight for their own rights, or perhaps were not even aware of the situation at all, protecting these rights. Which benefited all of us, almost always felt to the hard court actions of one individual, one family, or one group. Listen now and let me know what is your key takeaway from our topic today.

“Critical race reality is the analysis of causes and effects of critical and specific issues related to race within the United States. You've all heard about critical race theory, but in fact, every theory is designed to give you some insight or some guidance into the reality of a situation” The book Critical Race Theory is making rounds in the news now. Concerned parents and government officials want to prevent this from being taught in schools.  In today's episode, we will discuss Critical Race Theory (CRT) but what we will be focusing on is that Reality is more important than Theory in solving Racism that has been happening to our country for 200 to 400 years ago.  Here I discussed two major issues of many major issues that affect race in this country, The technology and deprivation of that technology to minority citizens and The cause and effect of homelessness.    We should include Technology Deprivation that happened 40 years ago when discussing racism issues. If you've been listening to our podcast, you've heard about the denial of Cable Television to South Central's minorities. There is a domino effect on minority communities due to technology deprivation; unemployment is so high, education is so low, economic development is low, and therefore poverty is high.  CRIME WILL NEVER GO DOWN AS LONG AS POVERTY STAYS HIGH. That is an inevitability. Technology deprivation cannot be addressed by a theory based on events from 200 and 400 years ago. In this episode, I have no intention to dispute theories. Still, I want you to realize that it is better to look at reality because by dealing with reality, we have the ability to verify the decisions that have been made that led to the reality, and at the same time deal with the causes and effects of that reality upon a group within society. Let us solve the racism issues instead of looking at what happened 200 to 400 years ago.

This episode is a republished topic from Episode 4  about Term Limits to Control Federal Government in time for the upcoming midterm election to highlight corruption that comes with too much power for too long.

Corruptions happen in any city and state in the U.S. but for today's episode, we will discuss Government Corruption in Los Angeles.  If you have read my book The Anatomy of Hustle; Betrayal of South Central L.A.  you already know the story of corruption that happened at that time. It was when our plan to venture into Cable Television Industry that could have helped minority communities elevate from poverty was stopped by a Government  Official and a Judge.  That was just the beginning of the corruption that has been happening in the government of L.A. Corruption in the government affects economic growth and the education system for minority communities.   Tune in as I discuss in detail how our government works.  Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues. https://whatdidyouthink.net/ https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/ https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/ https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/ You can buy my books here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US  

Claiming something you lost is necessary, whether it is a material item or something you lost control of.  Today, we'll talk about losing control of our Government. As US citizens we should have control over our Government, not the other way around. It seems like they are doing things on their own terms and forget or ignore what we have to say. The perfect example of this is that 80% of Americans want the limit on terms for Federal officials but it seems they are not listening to us. There is this one congressman who tries to bring up the issue but his colleagues just ignore him.  Indeed we have political freedom, we have the right to elect officials that benefits our community. However, the problem is we have only two parties to choose from to elect. Based on Gallup polls surveys in 2021, 68 % of Americans supports that we need a third party. It is a dramatic increase from what the  Gallup organization showed us in 2018, that  58% of Americans need a third party.    Here, I discuss my opinion on solutions to reclaim our control of the government.

Today's episode is called “LA City Hall Racism Fiasco”. The people of Los Angeles define this city as a place where bold dreams, creative expression, and limitless possibilities abound.  One of the most culturally diverse destinations in the world. You'll be inspired by its unique perspectives, unexpected moments, and open-hearted community.  The City of Angels has an abundance of multi-faceted neighborhoods and hidden gems to explore. If you've been following me you already know that I am living in Los Angeles City, to be exact in South Central L.A. That is why also you notice in my books that Los Angeles City is mentioned. We always talk about racism and social justice issues happening in cities and states around the US. But for today's topic, we will be focusing on Los Angeles City.  The story today is about the resignation of the president of the Los Angeles City Council Nury Martinez.  This is for comments she made last year, and it was secretly recorded, but published in the last few weeks. These comments dealt with negative comments about black people, and indigenous people living in Los Angeles. More of this story is inside our podcast. We will discuss how our political systems really work and you'll be surprised to know that Los Angeles Times rarely covers anything racist behind the behavior at the Los Angeles City Council while turning a blind eye to the problems that affect black people. Additionally, they ignore the negative comments made about the behavior and lives of black citizens in Los Angeles.

How do you feel when someone you know or your pet gets to experience violence?  Outrageous right? We feel like we want to get back to those who did this to them. Violence is occurring in our community, especially in minority communities, so where is the outrage? I am not referring to domestic violence it could be another topic, but I am referring to violence where youth and children are the victims of killing. In today's episode, we will discuss the violence that is happening in our society but no one seems to care because I cannot see outrageous citizens.   Dogs are man's best friends, so it makes us feel outrageous when someone hits or smashes them. The media will find a way to locate the perpetrator, and police will conduct a thorough investigation. Humans who are victims of violence should receive the same sympathy and attention too.  Please listen until the end for you to get the whole picture of the issue we are discussing for today's episode.  Share with me your comments and key takeaways from today's topic. I am interested to know about your thoughts.

What is media diversity for you? Do you think it matters? If you do not know your answer to these questions then you should listen to our episode today. Here I included a clip of a chapter from my latest audiobook What Did You Think was Going to Happen?  Below are highlights from my audiobook: The call for diversity is an attempt to allow all parts of society to have influence over the media they consume. The call for diversity is both right and proper for the first amendment. Which affirms adversity and opinions and ideas as they relate to the citizens of this country. When people speak of diversity they should be speaking not only of a diversity of faces but the diversity of ideas and the necessity to hear diverse voices. The diversity of ideas is the purpose of the first amendment. Without such diversity, they cannot be true freedom within a nation. The call for true diversity is not satisfied by hiring a few people and I mean only a few from an ethnic group to fulfill a quota that's not diversity.  The key that all parties agreed on was to maintain ownership in the hands of black citizens familiar with south central. Southcentral was made up not only of black people but had a heavy Hispanic influence within it. Their economic condition was similar to the black occupants of this community. Special programming was necessary for them also in order to fulfill our responsibility to the community as a whole. When 90 percent of the media content in the United States is controlled by fewer than a dozen companies. There's no true diversity in the ownership of that media. The explosion of the black race from ownership is the exclusion of true diversity within media in the United States. There are many reasons why we have a negative view of ourselves. This is partially due to the negative images that are continually portrayed in the media. The view provided to all of America is the same that black Americans get to see as we try to interpret who we are. Black-on-black crime at the street level is a manifestation a black on black crime at the political level. No one would expect the law to resolve their differences in south-central. The law is looked upon as an enemy by many. I hope that through our episode today you will understand how the negative image of Black America was formed.  Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues. https://whatdidyouthink.net/ https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/ https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/ https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/ Buy my books here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US

Have you heard kind of human trafficking in Africa? It is where they move people to various locations in Africa because they want those areas to be populated with people who have no ability to defend themselves. They use these people against their will and with that violence or coercion to get them to do something they want. We know about this because the media covered it.  Have you ever imagined government officials in the US participating in transporting illegal aliens to different states? In fact, you do not need to imagine it because it really happened. Governors in Texas and Florida did this, they transported the illegal aliens via airplane and bus to different cities that I mentioned in this podcast.  And you do not know about this because no newspaper no, news magazine, no news station is talking about the movement of people being human trafficking they really speak of the transport of people between states for illegal aliens in this country.  Keep up with the Ooooh I'm Tellin' Podcast if you're looking for something the media didn't cover.   Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues. https://whatdidyouthink.net/ https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/ https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/ https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/ Buy my books here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US

When we don't understand something, we tend to ignore it. Putting our attention on something we barely understand is only a waste of time and energy, right? We will be voting for ballot propositions in November 2022 election. I proposed that you should vote NO to a proposition that is unclear what it can do for you. There is a chance that the proposition you do not fully understand will pass if you do not vote. In today's episode, I address proposition 27, which is currently on the California ballot. With it, you can gamble on sports online from your laptop, tablet, mobile phone, or gaming console. Homeless people and drug addicts are said to benefit from it. It does not make sense to me that gambling institutions can solve problems that our government has not been able to solve for a long time.   Here are some facts I have mentioned in today's episode: “When I say just say no I mean that unless you understand a specific proposition on your ballot, I urge you to vote no on it. Because if you fail to vote no then, in fact, those who vote on it have power increased. You are still subject to the rules but your power is being diminished by the fact that you're not addressing the issue.” “They need to get at least 50 percent of the voting public and those who vote are casting a vote on that ballot. But in fact, if you're casting a vote that you do not know about, if you do nothing you are in fact voting by doing nothing. Because when you do nothing those who vote have their power intensified and increased by 2, 3, 4 times depending on the small percentage that may vote for an initiative for a proposition.”  “If somehow gambling is going to solve the drug addiction problem I have real concerns about exactly how they propose to solve this problem. If, in fact, all the efforts being made by governments cities, and all around the country have not been able to solve the problem. Are you going to solve the drug addiction problem by creating new gambling addicts? Because that's what happens when you expand the ability of gambling to get into the overall market.” “Vote no and put a stop to it if they want to explain what they're doing in some reasonable fashion then in fact you may consider it but under the current conditions with the telling stories and lies about what they're gonna do with all the money that's just poppycock.” Tune in and make your decision after hearing my opinion on this.

The economic status here in America is not doing well. We are now experiencing inflation, recession, and an increase in interest rates. We are greatly affected by this, Black Americans as well as other Americans. In our episode today we will answer the question of why is it Black America is behind in all the measures that indicate economic well-being despite America being a large nation, there should be a lot of opportunities for everyone. The government is restricting Black America's Economic Development with its law. It is hard for Black Americans to start businesses and create job opportunities for the community. One of the best examples of the government restricting development was when government officials in South Central L.A. did not allow us to participate in developing our business with then advanced technology Cable Television. It could have created thousands of jobs for the community. The government even fought us and did not honor the court of the United States Supreme Court Decision. You can refer to my book The Anatomy of Hustle; Cable Television Comes to South Central Los Angeles. I wrote their our (me and my brother) personal experiences. Tune in to best understand what is Black Economics I am talking about in today's episode.

It is no joke to be locked out of technology at the beginning of it. Before the internet connection, the technology that was available then was cable television. In today's episode, we will discuss Technology Deprivation. What I mean by deprivation is the process of denying a technology that is available throughout the rest of that society to a specific segment of society. I will discuss the effect of Technology Deprivation upon Black People and the Black community throughout the United States  You will learn the effect of denying access to technology. As I mentioned above it is no joke to be locked out of technology at the beginning of it because once you are left behind, you can never cope with the latest technology.  You will learn how Black Americans were again denied access to technology.  Listen as I deep dive into the issue of Technology Deprivation, this is not a Digital Divide.

There is no denying that we are now facing a homelessness crisis in America. Based on worldpopulationreview.com, there are more than half a million homeless people in the United States. Some of these people sleep in abandoned buildings, temporary shelters, or transitional housing. Lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, and low wages are the four main causes of homelessness. And that currently, California has the highest number of homeless people, with about 151,278. About one-fifth of the homeless population in the United States are in this category. Several factors contribute to this figure, including the lack of affordable and adequate housing opportunities, current drug laws, and the lack of access to mental health services. As I discussed in today's episode, health issues, unemployment, and lack of affordable housing are the causes of the Homelessness Crisis. In our episode today, we will discuss the reason for the lack of affordable houses. The people who are affected by this reason are working poor. These are people that have jobs but do not earn enough to pay for the rent for a decent house to live in. There are families that are spending the majority of their earnings paying for rent. There are families who live in cars to provide education for their children. Government should not put the burden on developers trying to meet the needs of the public the government creates policies that minimize development and then the government seeks to pick up the slack for the problem they have cost.  Tune in and be this an eye opener to you that we are now having a homelessness crisis in America.  Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues. https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/ https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/ https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg https://whatdidyouthink.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/ Buy my books here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US

You might be wondering why most of our government officials are so rich whereas their salary is at $ 200,000 per year. A salary that a college graduate with no credentials is getting nowadays. We will discuss Insider Trading in Congress in today's episode. You are reading the right thing here. Because of their position in government, they have access to non-public information. In our episode, you'll learn about S.T.O.C.K. (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge). With this act, elected officials have been less active in trading. Meanwhile, you'll learn that their children and wife have become more active traders. Take a look at our episode today so you'll be aware of these unfair uses of non-public information by government officials.

Generally, theories shape a research question, guide the selection of relevant data, interpret the data, and provide explanations of observed effects. You may have heard of Project 1619 by Nikole Hanna - Jones, New York Times Magazine, and The Critical Race Theory Book. Both books used 1619 events in our history as a guide to creating their theory. My take here is why look at what happened 400 years ago? Why not take a look at the most recent past, this means what had happened 15 or 70 years ago? I do not tell you to ignore the past here, but the most recent past is where our focus should be. My example of this is the denied access to cable television 40 years ago. This was written in my book “What Did You Think was Going to Happened? The Betrayal of South Central” This has an impact on the present situation of the Black Community in South Central L.A. When you tune in to our episode today you will learn more about the story. I encourage you to listen from start to the very end and let me know your thoughts in the comment section or comment on our social media post related to today's episode.

Civil rights groups are groups of activists who fight for the civil rights of a specific group they are representing. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, founded in 1909, is one of the established civil rights activists. According to them, they are leading the fight for justice, equity, and equality. In today's episode, we will discuss the Imitation Civil Rights Group. I will specifically talk about the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which my brother alternately calls Negros Against Anything Considered Progressive.  The NAACP is pretending to care about justice, equity, and equality for Black Community. But in reality, they care about their financial situation for personal gain. Since the NAACP has been around for numerous decades, they are merely a spokesperson for the democratic party and do not care about the problems facing black Americans. You will not believe me until you listen to our episode today. I narrate all the situations where the NAACP did not care for our civil rights and civil rights for all Black Americans. I hope this will be an eye-opener for you. This is why African Americans did not trust Civil Rights Organization to represent them.  Mentioned in this podcast: Jesse Jackson  Donald Sterling - Context to NAACP willing to forgive Donald Sterling Bob Johnson - Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues. https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/ https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/ https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg https://whatdidyouthink.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/ Buy my books here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US  

Why The Surprise? In today's episode, we will discuss the surprisingly high level of violence in America. It is where mass murders continue to increase, and perpetrators continue to get younger than ever. Does this surprise you? What surprises me is every time I turn on the television, people continue to be surprised by the level of violence that is going on within our society as we see the offense occurring weekly.  We could have prevented the level of violence and mass shootings in the overall society if we paid attention to what has been going to minority and low-income communities for many years. This issue is ignored because it was not an issue that the overall society was concerned about.  There are numerous reasons why violence has spread so quickly over the past ten years in America. But in our episode today we will discuss three major reasons because when we can address these major reasons the subsidiary issues will find answers themselves. Mental Health - This is related to our Episode 11, Calling for Juvenile PTSD treatment. I highlight the importance of treating mental illness in children. Inside this episode, you will learn how the American family and society deal with mental health issues compared to other sicknesses. The availability of guns - I discuss here how easy it is to have access to military-style and high-powered guns at such a young age of 18 years old. And someone can manufacture guns by watching video tutorials.  The violence contained in video games that our children play - By playing video games kids as young as 12 years old killed thousands of video people competing with their friends. Similarly, when they encounter real people in the real world and deal with them violently, they perceive them as objects, not people.   Summary of potential solutions:  Address mental health on a nationwide basis.  Limit the availability of military-style weapons with high capacity and high caliber magazines to those who are above twenty-one years of age only. Address the concern on issues mentioned above to give us control over the violence that is perpetrated by those with mental illness and access to high-powered firearms.    Additional resources: Episode 11 Calling for Juvenile PTSD treatment   GunViolenceArchive.org - 332 mass shooting reported cases from 1st January of 2022 to 11th of July 2022 in 37 States.      Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues.   https://www.facebook.com/ClintonEGalloway/   https://www.instagram.com/clintonegalloway/   https://twitter.com/CIintonGalloway   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKrhDXuTlvmZ4VxnmPcHzg   https://whatdidyouthink.net/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/clinton-galloway-b1b610214/   Buy my books here:   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-did-you-think-was-going-to-happen-clinton-e-galloway/1138748054?ean=9781735707600   https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735707600/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610284008&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrinaut08_writersandauthors-20&linkId=69ca9732f8bd7388904042eba13b2580&language=en_US        

Our topic for today is the failure of black leadership. First, let us define leadership from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s definition, “Leadership is a process in which an individual has the ability to influence a group of individuals in achieving a common goal.” The Black Leadership Failure is written in my book called “Anatomy of a Hustle Cable Comes To South Central LA” one of the chapters in the book was named the myth of black leadership. This chapter was written long before many black Americans began to realize the failure of black leadership that they had elected to oversee their best interests. The information in the chapter is more applicable today 10 years later than it was when it was originally published. Here is a quick summary of three categories of leaders and who they are:  Elected Officials - are leaders we elected to provide guidance to those people who have elected them is their job to interface with the government and won't be half of those who have placed them in office by having elected them. Civil Rights Organization - These are the organizations that have made claims that they are in the business of benefiting those who have been left out of society. Media Created Leaders - They're created by the media because the media presents them as black leaders when the media presents them since there is no contradicting factor in the evaluation of them. They become black leaders because of the fact that the media has identified them as such. Examples are Jesse Louis Jackson and Alfred Charles Sharpton Jr. You might have heard of leadership in terms of sports, politics, and business. These leaders are expected to provide some semblance of order to any organization that is seeking to achieve a common goal.  The common goal of Black America is to become a full participant in the society in which we live. As we deal with these issues, we will deal with three specific categories. These categories are education, economic development, and the criminal justice system. Finally, we will address the potential causes of our leadership failure. Tune in so you will be aware of these.

Juvenile post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic disorder that develops among children and adolescents as a result of exposure to traumatic events, such as natural disasters or violent crimes. In our episode today, we will discuss Juvenille PTSD which is caused by violent crimes.  It can interfere with children's normal development, causing problems in relationships and home life, school performance, and ability to function in the community. Juvenile PTSD should be treated to prevent them from having violent behavior and to help them study at school without difficulties. It is disheartening, due to the fact that this issue disproportionately impacts black people and those with lower incomes, which represents black people because black society in America has a negative poverty rate of 25 percent, and that poverty rate creates an issue of crime and violence, but why is there a need for the media, especially black leadership, not to address the issue and merely ignore the fact that this mental illness is dealt with in the criminal justice system rather than in the health system?

Welcome to our 10th episode. This one is an interesting story of how an honorable judge herself did not honor the constitutional rights of her fellow Black Americans. And how the African American community is used by a black government official for personal gain. I am telling on The Honorable Consuelo B. Marshall. If you have read my book The Anatomy of a Hustle; Cable Comes to South Central L.A., her name must be familiar to you. It is because she was the honorable judge that was assigned to the case on the lawsuit we filed on behalf of our company Preferred Communications, on our fight for the right to put up a cable company for the benefit of the minority community in L.A. She was biased and immediately dismissed the case. Hear the whole story inside the episode today and how this went all the way to the Supreme Court. In our first nine episodes, we have discussed different social justice, racism, and political issues. You will be reminded of those as my story goes on. This episode is a kind of story that is a mix of Black on Black Racism, Effect of Black on Black Racism, True Meaning of Civil Rights, Term Limits to control Federal Government, and the Political Party System. It is shocking, but those issues we discussed can define what one person did.

The past year has been difficult for everyone. The constant fluidity in our lives, concern for family members, and trying to maintain some type of normalcy have all been challenging. But if you are an Asian American, you are facing intense scrutiny, bullying, and crimes.Unfortunately, the backlash against Asian American Pacific Islanders has risen with the political climate of phrases such as "Kung Flu" and 'China Virus".  It is such an honor to have Dr. Russell Jeung, professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University and co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate, join me in the studio this week to discuss how Asian Americans are being bullied and what we can do about it. Teaching our children to appreciate and embrace physical and cultural differences is crucial for a homogeneous society. As an AA, I'm saddened to watch the increased violence and hatred among any group of people, but especially those from my heritage. This is a learning opportunity for everyone. For Asian Americans to teach about our culture, and our hopes and dreams. For those who want to understand, be inclusive, to embrace our differences, this episode is for you.Dr. Jeung is a rock star in his work and has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, KTLA, and Time magazine to name a few.Time Stamps:2:09 - Introduction of Dr. Russell Jeung5:02 - AAPIs, mental health, and COVID6:30 - AAPI youth are disproportionately discriminated against9:24  - 3 ways AAPIs are being attacked14:08 - What can parents do to mitigate this hate15:00 - How AAPI parents can talk to their children16:49 - How non-Asians can talk to their children18:27 - AAs and cyberbullying23:40 - Women and girls being targeted more24:17 - Help the Cause of Stop AAPI Hate29:57 - Empower parents to empower their children31:47 - Words of wisdom from Dr. Jeungwww.stopaapihate.orgSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=31725704)
