" Homeland Mercenaries: STAND BACK, STAND-BY ?" Open Mic Night Many modern white supremacist groups eschew violent tactics in favor of using demonstrations and propaganda to sway public opinion and portray their ideologies as legitimate. However, their racial elitist ideologies have nonetheless spurred affiliated individuals to become involved in violent altercations. One such group just plotted to abduct a sitting state Governor. We need to know more and create an awareness and safety net. We know that this is the war of their fantasies. #TalkthatMatters #TrustYourStruggle Join us on our social media platforms.

OUR COMMON GROUND returns LIVE tonight. Part II, Season 2016 on November 12, 2016. Guest: Dr. James L. Taylor USF and UC Berkeley Black Studies Department Chair, Professor and Author, “Black Nationalism in the United States: From Malcolm X to Barack Obama” There is critical work before us, reconstitution and reformatting. We must unravel ourselves first from the chaos and damage of the 2016 Presidential campaign. Whoever wins the WH (we do not know presently) we must be organized, to demand, enforcea and monitor our rights as a people. Radio talk cannot do that but can assist in an appropriate synthesis of the issues, problems and strategies. That has been our job at OUR COMMON GROUND for 34 years.

" A Police State: Changing the Body of Law" 1. Indefinite military detentions of U.S. citizens 2. Targeting U.S. citizens for killing 3. Arresting witnesses for recording police actions Policymakers are not discussing or debating these issues in Congress, the State House or City Council. The consequences for what it means to be a Black American is deadly. How do we unravel the laws, and bring democracy to policing in this country to eliminate the killing of Black men and women in there homes and on our streets?

"A Promise to Pay: Political Debt" OCG Unfiltered Interlocutor, Pascal Robert joins us. The 2016 Democratic Convention in Philadelphia is over. It was the greatest parade of marketing propaganda we have seen in our lifetime. Hillary proclaimed, “Your cause is my cause,”. But dissatisfied delegates in the hall, the Bernie people saw her rhetoric for what it was: insincere and opportunistic. They have sacrificed nothing to make us stronger together. It was a great party of political promises, filling the tab, of making debt. Will they pay? They sold us on the idea that we must elect someone is sane and competent. How empty is that for our political future. There IS so much at stake, and once again the Democrats provide us no answer. Tonight one of our Unfiltered Interlocutor, Pascal Robert, joins us to sort it out and talk about just where we are inside the theatre.

OCG SPECIAL :: 40M Souls : Marganilized, Traumatized, Terrorized and Muderered Joining us: Yvette Carnell of BreakingBrown.com, Dr. James L. Taylor, USF and UC Berkeley, Dr. Tommy J. Curry, Texas A&M University We declare our collective wounds and injuries in the wake of the killing of more than 1, 000 American citizens by police. This week we witnessed once again the cold-bloodied execution of our Brother, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. WE ARE OUTRAGED. We are outraged that there is no accountablity, the government, government officials and elected officials show limited concern of accountability or justice. We are citizens and should no fear for the safety of our children and ourselves. We don't believe that a peaceful protest about the value of our presence cannot be highjacked by one act of violence. We reject that the killing of police is a rationale response to the legitimate outrage of the killing of Black men and women under the cover of law and authority.

To help us convert truth to power to knock neoliberalism off its pedestal. ~Michael Leo Owens, Emory University, author of God and Government in the Ghetto: The Politics of Church-State Collaboration in Black America In this provocative study, Lester Spence opens the conversation about how black politics and the black community have been affected by the market-driven logic of neoliberalism.

"Flint: Crimes Against Citizens" LIVE and Call-In The question of who knew what and when is rendered impotent. The Governor, Municipal Administrator, state health officials and the EPA. THEY ALL KNEW ONE YEAR AGO. "Is it extreme to posit that local and state officials and the Environmental Protection Agency knowingly allowed the poisoning of tens of thousands of Flint residents? Perhaps. But it is irrefutable that they knew that residents – primarily African Americans and the working class – were drinking, bathing and cooking with poisonous water for six months before authorities warned them of risks. . . . EPA water expert, Miguel Del Toral, identified potential contamination problems with Flint’s drinking water last February " - OUR COMMON GROUND Voice, Dr. Marsha Coleman Adebeyo and Kevin Bender.

"While We Slept: 1,126 Black Bodies in 2015" Guest Co-Host, Dr. Ruby Sales, Founder and Director, The SpiritHouse Project "All I wanted was someone to be held accountable,’ says Tamir Rice’s mother. ‘But this entire process was a charade." Did you sit it out until the justice system announced that there was a reasonable explanation to the murder of 12-year old Tamir Rice? Yeah, well most Black people did and now they are outraged. Who is Accountable ? Did we sleep through 1,126 police killings before we decided that it was about us? Then there is the court and juries ? Applying two standards which favor the police. What are the answers and what are the solutions? We pay tribute to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing who made her transition to become an honored Ancestor this morning as the sun rose. And remember, the legendary vocalist, Natalie Cole.

"Demanding Justice and Dignity for OUR Children" Our Guest: Zakiya Sankara-Jabar Executive Director, Co-Founder, Co-Chair Dignity in Schools Campaign Racial Justice NOW ! A South Carolina Black female student was brutally attacked, thrown from her seat and tossed across the room by a school police officer even though she had obeyed orders to put her cellphone away. Police intervention was employed when her teacher did not think that she put it away fast enough, Horrified students watched and video taped the incident. Where are Black children safe? How can this girl's humanity be so blantantly challenged? Roxane Gay (NYT) writes: "Far too little attention is being given to who the young girl is...When that officer saw her, sitting quietly, defiantly, she was not allowed to be human. She was not allowed to have a complex story. She was held to a standard of absolute obedience. She was not given the opportunity to explain the why of her defiance because she was a black body that needed to be disciplined by any means necessary."

"40 Years, $1 Trillion, 45 Million Arrests: The Truth About the War on Us" "Transforming Truth to Power, One Broadcast At A Time" What began as a flourish of campaign rhetoric in 1968 has grown into a monster. And while nobody claims that the War on Drugs is a success, nobody suggests an alternative. Because to do so is political and profit suicide. As a community we need to understand how Drug War fever has been escalated; who has benefited along the way; and how the mounting price in dollars, lives, and liberties has been willfully ignored. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT DRUGS We will review and examine the truth about the policies and intent of the "War on Drugs". We need to talk about the money making behind the politics; how the drug war can be considered slow Nazi policy on the poor and the racial profiling used. We look at these destructive and failed policy and manipulation in its historical context and destructive outcomes.
