An UPstander is someone who sees something and takes a stand. Here we will explore issues relating to social justice. Some posts will be motivational, some educational. Some times I may drop a rhyme or poem! The goal is to share stories and opinions that help us build a human family. Share your thoughts and share with others!

358. Stephen A. Smith vs. Cari. Charlamagne vs. Roland. Joe Budden vs. NLP. What's with Black media beef?
What are we doing out in these #youtube streets? In these Black media and Black targeted media spaces, I’m seeing things that are making me feel like #hiphop beef and I think we have to be more responsible with our platforms. I think critiquing one another is fine but the takedowns and persona...

357. Megyn Kelly condones pedophilia. How is her show still platformed?
@MegynKelly condones pedophilia in her recent interview on her show. She and her guest state that sex with 15 year olds isn’t pedophilia. It’s disgusting and it isn’t being condemned strongly enough. If you support her show and don’t call her out, you are part o...

356. Disney & NBA support genocide working w/the Emirates. You quit Disney over Kimmel. What about Sudan?
s Jimmy Kimmel more important than the people of Sudan? We should be more angry at the fact that Disney and the NBA, through their partnership with the UAE (United Arab Emirates) are involved in genocide in Sudan. The #nba already works with Paul Kagame, who committed #genocide in Congo. If you were...

355. Who are the real welfare queens? Black women or the Trump administration?
The Black women, once again, has been made the face of the #snapbenefits debate, even though more White people are using #snap than Black people. This is not new. In this video, I break down the history of the welfare queen and share my thoughts about who the real welfare queens are. I discuss this ...

354. Stop saying Black people (men) came back! They never left the democratic party but White people did!
I am so annoyed with these so-called analysts talking about Black people and Black men in particular coming back to the democratic party. They never LEFT the party! White people still broke for the #maga candidate but I don’t see anyone talking about that. Facts should matter. #trump made inro...

353. Dear poor MAGA people: Trump thinks you’re stupid. How much longer will you let him hustle you?
As President Lyndon B. Johnson said, when you can convince the poorest White man that he’s better than the best “colored man”, he won’t realize you’re picking his pocket. Give him someone to look down on and he’ll empty his pocket for you. As #trump continues to hustle you, it’s time t...

352. Why Was Sonia Massey's Verdict So Frustrating?
The Sonya Massey verdict is so frustrating because we weren’t sure if there would even be a verdict. So many times we see officers get off for killing unarmed Black people. With this case, there’s a verdict, but not for first degree murder so Sean Grayson could even get probation. We de...

I appeared on @DCNewsNow_ with Mark Hall to discuss the continued broken promises by the #trump administration, which is best represented by his destruction of the East Wing of the White House

350. Joe Budden vs. the Native Land Podcast. Is this productive?
I’ve bee paying attention to the @joebuddentv podcast debate with @NativeLandPod as well as the @BreakfastClubPower1051FM . While I think some of the public debate has been productive, there are aspects of it that are very problematic for the Black community. I share my thoughts. Wh...

349. Stephen A. Smith apologized to Jasmine Crockett but made inconsistent statements
@stephenasmith apologized to #jasminecrockett. There were several inconsistencies in his statements that cannot be ignored from his words on #kamalaharris to his statement about not wanting enemies. I also share my thoughts on the powerful video from @rolandsmartin breaking down how wrong...
