The crimes were clearly influenced by the views of those in support of #45's administration, so why aren't they being held accountable? Also, D. Rose dropped a 50-ball last night, and the University of Maryland showed blatant disrespect to the family of the late Jordan McNair, amongst many other topics.Best Kept Secret: Got My Own - RAY BLK

Speak My Peace PodcastEp. 012 | Kneel for Something or Stand for NothingSince Colin Kaepernick first started protest the values of the national anthem by kneeling to raise awareness of the social injustices occurring all throughout the "land of the free," there has been many attempts to change the narrative because America is too scared to have the racial inequality conversation. Not I, since day 1 I have been ready to shoot down all attempts at changing the narrative, so why would that change after I start a podcast?Visit Kaepernick's Free Campaign for the Youth @ https://knowyourrightscamp.comThis week's Best Kept Secret:Swoope - Black Boy

Speak My Peace PodcastEp. 005 | Y'all, My N***as?The infamous N-Word(s)have effected those of African descent for far too long, dating back to the 1800s where it was solely used as a derogatory racial slur to present day where it still has the same meaning, a complete opposite meaning, or both... depends on the person speaking. Let's get into why those of African descent should be able to use it exclusively without the interference of those without, who feel entitled to the same word for similar or demonic reasons.This Week's Best Kept Secret: XamVolo - Lose Love

Welcome to the #SpeakMyPeace podcast everyone and thank you for joining me on my venture into this podcast world.
