The "Whatever Happened to Common Sense?" Show

In our Season 1 Finale, we discuss multiple current events such as the return of the NBA season, the race to create a COVID-19 vaccination, the Breonna Taylor case, and the rise of inner-city violence within some of our African-American communities. We’ll provide feedback about these topics as well as Kanye West’s bid to become a presidential candidate, Rudy Giuliana’s comments about the Black Lives Matters organization, and my thoughts about any African-American who is planning to not vote in the upcoming Presidential Election.

A Cop's Perspective

In this episode, we interview one of my closest friends, Officer Rashod Coleman. Officer Coleman provides timely answers, from both an African-American male and police officer perspective, to some of the most intriguing concerns and questions about police reform and social justice. We close this episode by discussing his upcoming book, "Fatherless Son", a remarkable account of the impact of his father's incarceration and subsequent redemption.

"Can You See?"

For the start of our journey into Season 2, we address several political topics that are particularly relevant during this election season. First, we address the polarizing dynamic that exists between the Democratic and Republican parties. We do this from a moral perspective and speak of the inability of each party’s supporters to truthfully highlight anything negative about the politicians and their actions. I have watched many of my friends, family members, and others on social media blindly voice their fervent support and positive opinions about the party of their choice and inversely their total disdain for the other. Look, regardless of the political party that you may support, we must still be honest with ourselves, utilize effective discernment, and speak the truth regardless whether it is positive or negative. Anything other than this, just makes you a puppet to that party and susceptible to fall for anything. We’ll close this episode by reiterating our thoughts about the importance of voting in the upcoming presidential election.
