Man Listen...Should Black Athletes Boycott the SEC?

Man Listen...Watch The Blame Game on Black Voters

The Man Listen Show breaks down the political moment. After the New York primaries, Zohran Mamdani emerges as a kingmaker as his DSA candidates sweep, and the crew asks why the blame is landing on Black representatives like Hakeem Jeffries and Jasmine Crockett. We get into the policies actually moving people, universal child care, rent freezes, potholes filled, and why enthusiasm beats the old guard. From there the conversation goes deep: the idea of the liberal racist, whether America runs on one corporate party with two faces, how infrastructure dollars flow to some neighborhoods and skip others, the prison pipeline, and the real budget burden carried by anchor cities. Then we turn South. Georgia is now a majority minority state, Keisha Lance Bottoms is running for governor, and the crew debates Stacey Abrams, voter apathy, rural Black voters, and whether Atlanta is still the Black Mecca or if DC, Charlotte, or the South Side of Chicago have a claim. We close on Trump's health, DEI rollbacks, and the Black women pushed out of federal jobs. Keep it 100 percent real and 100 percent Black all the time.

Man Listen... Black Men Must Organize Now

The Man Listen Show sits down with Marv B to break down the inaugural Active Black Dad Leadership Conference, a free half day gathering for Black men in Topeka, Kansas on Saturday, June 27, 9 AM to 12 PM at Hillcrest Community Center. We get into the heart of it: why Topeka, the legacy of Brown v. Board, the loss the community has carried, and why organizing Black men is the way forward.
