Call: (713) 526-5738 – Live stream: KPFT (Entire USA) Radio Show Date: July 14th, 2016
Black men should not die because their humanity disrespected by some.
You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.
I was hoping that two videos that showed the murder of two black men in graphic fashion would be the catalyst to persuade the most ardent cynics that black men are under attack. After writing blog after blog on the subject and seeing no change I am at an impasse.
Anyone who knows me knows that impasses with me are short lived. This one is no different. There are some who willfully wallow in their ignorance and denial. It presents them with comfort for their insecurities.
I intend to keep the subject in the forefront. Even as it is forgotten by the mainstream media, I will blog about it where applicable. I will continue to push for criminal justice reform and police reform.
Today’s guest is Scott Ford. Scott Ford is a Libertarian, a radio show host, a candidate for Congress, and an outspoken advocate for his cause. We will have a conversation about what has occurred over the last few weeks.
Before I get to the program, I want to remind all our listeners that KPFT is a bastion of intelligent voices and programs. As a political activist, my favorites are
