Protest but No Plan, Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Since the senseless murders of two unarmed black men at the hands of police, the outrage has sparked protesting and demonstrations across the country.

The death of Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old father-of-5 was selling CDs outside a Baton Rouge convenience store when he was killed by 2 cops early last Wednesday. And 32-year-old Philando Castile, a Minnesota cafeteria worker who was shot to death on Wednesday by a milquetoast cop during a routine traffic stop.

We’ve seen such tragedies far too many times, and people are angry and outraged because “enough is enough!”

The cries for justice has been ignored far too long! So what is the clear path to justice? What are the steps for action and purpose of these many demonstrations that have been taken to the streets?

Join me at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio for tonight’s conversations and topic of discussion “Protest but No Plan”, with my special guests (pictured above); author, activist and black panther member Ms. Karen Tucker and Dr. Obari Cartman author and justice advocate.

We will be taking your calls and comments in the studio at 1-917-889-7872.

Is there “Light skin vs. dark Skin” privilege in Society? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Light_Skin_PriviledgeHard to believe we did a show just four (4) years ago, in 2012 regarding “Light Skin vs. Dark Skin” and this very topic is still alive and very well today.

Since Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams spoke out of turn (for some), at the BET Awards last month, social media and online blogs felt he wasn’t black enough to do so.

Williams, who is half white, called out white people for appropriating black music for fame and profit.

He also showed support for social media militants, Black Lives Matter, saying, “We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day.”

Williams, whose mother is white and father black, let the world know just how comfortable he is NOT with his fame, in today’s hateful society of injustice and inequality.

Williams’ speech set-off such a firestorm online and in the media, that a petition was circulated calling the series creator Shonda Rhimes to fire Williams from ‘Anatomy’.

Many saying if Isaiah Washington was fired for being outspoken Williams should be fired just as well. Setting off the theory that “light skinned” blacks receive preferential treatment over “dark skinned blacks”.

Tune in tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio for this discussion “Is there “Light skin vs. dark Skin” privilege in Society?”
