The UPstander’s Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

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!

308. Shannon Sharpe brought this on himself. What happens next is up to him

7.8 min Jan 8, 2025

#shannonsharpe did not have the same discipline that he has for his physique that he should have had for his relationships. It’s wrong to throw him into categories of people like R. Kelly or Cosby. At the same time, his inability to not care for the “ick” factor of an older Black m...

307. From Beyonce to Obama: Trump's greatest racist hits can't distract from his connection to Epstein

4.45 min Sep 5, 2025

#trump is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. He has brought up charging #obama, #oprah, #kamalaharris and #beyonce for various reasons, including treason. All this to distract from the #epsteinfiles and his connection. When all else fails, Trump will point the finger at Black people...

306. The 7 words supporters of Israel are no longer saying

8.11 min Sep 5, 2025

Have you noticed that many people that support #israel are no longer saying these 7 words? I think that is something that Netanyahu should pay attention as support for the war on #gaza continues. More networks and shows that have been very pro-Israel like #morningjoe are using terms like #genocide o...

304. Watching Mehdi Hasan vs. 20 MAGA students should scare us all. Here's why.

7.46 min Sep 5, 2025

On  @jubilee  “Surrounded” series, journalist Mehdi Hasan debated 20 #maga students. What they said was dangerous. To hear so many young people proudly proclaim themselves to be nazis, fascists, racists, and even openly embrace the shooting of children in the head in #gaza should troub...

303. Slavery worked. Black Americans deny their lineage more than any group I know.

9.33 min Sep 5, 2025

The comments over my last few posts denying any African lineage for Black Americans is really sad. Whether you’re Black, Black American, ADOS, FBA, African American, or whatever, you don’t lose anything by acknowledging that your roots are in Africa. You can only gain from stretching out your hi...

302. Greg Gutfeld wants to use “Nazi” like “The Blacks” use the n-word. We can’t normalize either!

4.54 min Sep 5, 2025

​ @FoxNews  #greggutfeld wants to adopt “Nazi” for #maga people like “The Blacks” use the n-word. 1) note that they want to normalize being called a #nazi but we can’t compare this to Nazi germany right? This should also be condemned as #antisemitic to evoke that right? Secondly, ALL B...

301. So now Superman is woke, pro illegal immigrant, AND antisemitic?

8.41 min Sep 5, 2025

I unfortunately saw the #superman movie (spoilers here). It was bad but I didn’t walk out of the movie seeing all the things #maga people are seeing as well as the talk about the movie being antisemitic? I find it unfortunate that we are at a point where every single thing has to be politicize...

300. Mexicans saved 19 campers in Texas flood. Why isn't this being covered?

12.89 min Nov 7, 2025

With all of the hate and vitriol being sent towards Mexicans and Latinos in general, it is expected that stories of Mexicans is not being covered. I also haven’t seen anything about Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also sending help to Texas. These narratives can help us challenge hate. #cl...

299. Texas flood: Joe Scarborough & others are wrong. It's NOT too early to investigate!

8.37 min Jul 7, 2025

It is wrong for #joescarborough to say it’s too early to ask questions about the tragic flooding in Texas. From what I’ve seen over the weekend, no one is taking any accountability from the local and state to the federal level. This is not a “The buck stops with me” administr...
