The Middle Men Talk Show Presents: This is America

Thank you for tuning in to The Middle Men Talk Show!! This week, America was able to watch live on television acts of Domestic terrorism on our nation's capitol. A display of white privilege was definitely on display as armed Trump supporters stormed into the White House where there was a lack of law enforcement to keep members of the House and Senate safe. As of today 5, people have lost their life because of this senseless act of homegrown domestic terrorism.  What are your thoughts on the events that has occurred this week? Police were militarized and tanks were deployed on BLM protests across several states, why wasn’t this the procedure during this Trump rally?  With FB, Twitter, and other Social Media app banning and censoring Trump and others, What does censorship mean?  Are Trump's voters, really voting in their interest?  Why do people’s vote not align with their interest?  What’s next for the Republican Party?  Will the next administration be able to get Covid under control? Will you take the vaccine? What should this upcoming administration do to increase the trust in the American people?

Ownership Vs Equality

Ownership Or Equality? With Joe Budden recently announcing that he’s ending his contract with Spotify for his number 1 rated podcast, the internet immediately started buzzing. After a response from Breakfast Club host Charlamagne The God that Joe needs to negotiate better, fans began to take sides. Given Charlamagne The God’s recent announcement of a partnership for a podcast network on iHeart radio, the question now comes up of having a seat at the table vs building your own. Are both aspects correct? Should black people in America be more concerned with building their own table, or getting an equity stake at someone else’s? What’s an acceptable amount of ownership that a creator is willing to part with? With podcasts being larger than ever before, should black podcasters continue a path of independence, or seek network deals?

The Future of Black Media

The Future of Black Media From the Chicago Defender leading the great migration from the south to the Alabama State University campus newspaper spreading the word of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Black Media has always been at the forefront of every major movement for Black people in America.

Where do we go from here? Is Black Media relevant in today’s society? How can we put pressure on companies to advertise with Black Media? What accountability do we as consumers have to finance Black Media? What is the future of how people consume Black Media?

Unity Between the Black Man and Woman : The time is now

"We can't have war between Black men and Black Women, because no one can be free if one half of the mind of the people is tied up in conflict. It's going to have to be both of us or none of us."  Dr. John Henrik Clarke On today's MiddleMen Talk Show, the topic of the day is "Unity between the Black Man and Black  Woman: The time is now!" What standards should we have as black men and women to work as a collective unit? How much value do we put on the relationships we have with others? What are the ways we can strengthen our relationships as people? (Relationships around family members, peers, colleagues, friends, etc.) What can we do to improve the “trust” towards one another ensuring we will do right by each other? (Ex. No backstabbing, actions of jealously, etc.) Should we as black people demand more positive images of the Black unit (Man and Woman) in media? and how can we achieve this? How can we change the perception of Black women feeling unprotected by Black men in today's hostile climate toward Black women?     We all know the statistically black men and women make less than our white counterparts, but how can we ensure the finances we do have really generate wealth? Joint bank accounts, separate, or both? (Before and after married) What steps do we need to take to show the next generation that a relationship between a Black man and Woman is a worth maintaining for a healthy community?

HBCUs, Still essential to Black Culture??

Thanks for tuning in to the Middle Men Talk Show Today. Historically Black Colleges and Universities are institutions founded before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 serving primarily African American students. They allowed our ancestors, grandparents, parents, and so on the opportunity to attend higher education when most predominantly white institutions did not allow the enrollment of African Americans. Currently, there are over 100 HBCUs today. In today’s integrated society, is the HBCU still relevant to black culture? With limited federal funding and alumni financial support, can HBCUs compete with predominantly white institutions for research grants and too academic and athletic prospects? How can HBCUs survive in the future, and what impact can a youth social justice movement have on them? What are some ways HBCUs can continue to increase their connectedness with the black community? Will there be an increase in enrollment in HBCUs and also will we see an increase of top athletes attending? How can others who attended PWI’s help support HBCUs?

Allies or ALL LIES

On the Middle Men Talk Show tonight we will be discussing: Allies or All Lies? There have been times throughout history where racism against people of color could have been stopped. Is this movement of change happening or is it just another moment in history? Is it just a “Moment” for how some white people are coming to support? or is it just generational need to be in vogue? Are they an ally or all lies? Is Corporate America's stance on Black Live matter a true stance? or just a strategy to keep future income flowing. Have the infiltrators of the riots damaged the movement with their senseless acts of domestic terrorism? What type of policies can be put in place it insure change in America? Other nations are protesting the murder of George Flloyd, will these protests enact a change on a global scale for people of color? on a global scale, which nations are truly an ally of African Americans? In America, we still face the weaponizing of the police by some. Where do this Karen and big boss steve mentality stem really from? Is this mentality of superiority a mentality of inferiority? What discussions should we continue to have with our children about these issues?
