#TodayInModernHistory 1. Tavis Smiley's $1.2M Mistake A judge ruled media journalist and activist #TavisSmiley pay $1.2m to plaintiffs alleging harrassment and hostile work environment claims. One woman alleged Smiley fired her after repeatedly asking for sex and hearing her continuous refusals. He settled with the woman for $300k. Unfortunately Smiley sued PBS for breach of contract, they countersued and won. During a time where we cannot identify 5 Journalists that own and produce their own news and talk shows, the void caused by Smileys 2 year absence is devastating. Roland Martin and Karen Hunter continue to be the only Black Journalists who broadcasts nationally while owning their shows. They decide their own content unlike every other news and talk show with a Black host. 2. NFL's First Black President The @NFL team formerly named The Washington Redskins hired the first Black (and yougest) President of a team in 38 year old #JasonWright. So the team with one of the most notoriously racist owners in the league hired a Black man. Should we be excited? See this as advancement or tokenism? This would also be a great time to consider #JayZ contribution as the NFL's only Black male owner. In another developing story, the African American Sports & Entertainment Committee proposes a privately financed expansion team and suggests the NFL should consider the current national moment and lend its support to an initiative to start a minority owned team in Oakland, Ca former home of the Raiders who moved to Las Vegas and the Golden State Warriors (NBA) who moved to San Francisco. #crushtheisms #crushrevisionism #crushracism #crushinequality #crushsexism #crushhomophobia https://www.instagram.com/p/CEH3i7GnBfm/?igshid=1w13nyz9ddzd

#AFewThings 1. C'mon Black Folk: We have to stop a second and ask ourselves why it is so easy to believe Miss Robbie's son Tim is a murderer because the DA's office filed charges against him and at the same time throw hate all over Kamala Harris for, "locking up her own people"? I have yet to hear or see anyone able to cite 5 actual cases of Harris' "lock us up" actions. Although asking may be offensive for some, this is getting ridiculous. In addition, how will we see the DA who charged the officers that murdered Rayshard Brooks? He just so happens to be a Black man. Are we going to consider our logic at all? 2. Right Is Right The number of inmates released for their health and the public's safety is great but why wasn't Bill Cosby included in those released? His age alone should make him a prime candidate for release. Not to mention all of #45's people walking the street freely. I am no advocate for ignoring crime but there is a level of inconsistency and hypocrisy that bears discussion. 3. DNC Convention The participants have used the words, "Black", "civil rights", "injustice", "equality" and "Latino" so frequently over the last 3 days, it would be unforgivable if their policies are watered down to appease banks, so-called "moderate" Republicans, rural, red state residents and the "Lunch Pail Crew". 4. Tavis Smiley's $2.6M Mistake A judge ruled media journalist and activist #TavisSmiley pay $2.6m to plaintiffs alleging harrassment and hostile work environment claims. One woman alleged Smiley fired her after repeatedly asking for sex and hearing her continuous refusals. He settled with the woman for $300k. Unfortunately Smiley sued PBS for breach of contract, they countersued and won. During a time where we cannot identify 5 Journalists that own and produce their own news and talk shows, the void caused by Smileys 2 year absence is devastating. Roland Martin and Karen Hunter continue to be the only Black Journalists who broadcasts nationally while owning their shows.

Let's just say they were right about their criticism of @barackobama the only question this post is asking is why aren't they as vocal about @realdonaldtrump @tavistalks & @brothercornelwest #tavissmiley #cornelwest #donaldtrump #barackobama (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyRa45gLGR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nvi6129zl72q
