Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen four major shootings involving the police and black men. It is incredibly unfortunate that this is not new and has been a continuing major issue for decades. 40 years ago "Black radio" would be the voice of the community during these trying times stopping all music to keep the community informed about marches, rallies and protests. Many of these strategies have disappeared but you have to ask yourself if it even would work today? Since we keep finding ourselves in the same position... no, it's not working. Even with the advent of social media, Black radio can still be very powerful because being the voice of the community is not usually conveyed well by a 25-year-old blogger. To be TRULY effective, one must be seasoned, controversial and fearless. Do we have such black hosts today? Thank God the answer is yes. They are few in numbers but they exist and these are the times when Black radio has the opportunity to really step up to the plate to represent the black voices and to speak for those who often feel that they can't speak for themselves. How did we do? What radio station or radio host do you feel truly represented the black community during the recent shootings? It takes a special kind of host to carry this kind of weight first and foremost he or sp; Here DL talks to Sway about the interview. DL, carries the weight of this interview and does well here too.

Roland Martin

I met Roland for the first time on the Tom Joyner cruise this past April. I thought he was a bit arrogant after I introduced myself and sat down at his table to eat as he used his finger to flip through the glass casing on his phone while the rest of us were having a conversation about radio and the industry. I told a friend that I thought Roland was an asshole and my friend pointed out that I am like that sometimes too. I get bored easily with people and I realized he was right. I've been very cognizant of that ever since (lol). When Roland levitated Wendy Williams in the video below I absolutely agreed with him. I was just coming off a rare interview with Wendy for The Industry Dot Biz about a month before and I didn't notice that

Frank Ski

I was VERY impressed with this FaceBook Live segment by V103 in Atlanta on what your rights are as a driver and how to handle yourself when stopped by police. The meeting featured V103 vet Frank Ski and Attorney Robert Smith of Smith and Hirsh PLC in Nashville, TN who is also an Assistant Professor Department of Criminal Justice at Tennessee State University. One of the MOST powerful segments is at the 13:17 mark where the man in the red shirt asks a question and the professor lays our community to rest. How many black people do you know who repeatedly ignore and avoid jury duty? I actually look forward to it but on at least two occasions I was the only black male, for reasons that the professor talks about here and because we often avoid the responsibility. This, believe it or not, is the starting point as to why there are not many more convictions when a police officer shooting takes place like the ones we saw last week. So think twice the next time you get invited to participate in the jury system and you immediately start looking for excuses not to participate. [flowplayer id="174477"]

I actually look forward to it but on at least two occasions I was the only black male, for reasons that the professor talks about here and because we often avoid the responsibility. This, believe it or not, is the starting point as to why there are not many more convictions when a police officer shooting takes place like the ones we saw last week. So think twice the next time you get invited to participate in the jury system and you immediately start looking for excuses not to participate. [flowplayer id="174477"]

Is there anyone else that you would like to point out? Let us know.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen four major shootings involving the police and black men. It is incredibly unfortunate that this is not new and has been a continuing major issue for decades. 40 years ago "Black radio" would be the voice of the community during these trying times stopping all music to keep the community informed about marches, rallies and protests. Many of these strategies have disappeared but you have to ask yourself if it even would work today? Since we keep finding ourselves in the same position... no, it's not working. Even with the advent of social media, Black radio can still be very powerful because being the voice of the community is not usually conveyed well by a 25-year-old blogger. To be TRULY effective, one must be seasoned, controversial and fearless. Do we have such black hosts today? Thank God the answer is yes. They are few in numbers but they exist and these are the times when Black radio has the opportunity to really step up to the plate to represent the black voices and to speak for those who often feel that they can't speak for themselves. How did we do? What radio station or radio host do you feel truly represented the black community during the recent shootings? It takes a special kind of host to carry this kind of weight first and foremost he or sp; Here DL talks to Sway about the interview. DL, carries the weight of this interview and does well here too.

Roland Martin

I met Roland for the first time on the Tom Joyner cruise this past April. I thought he was a bit arrogant after I introduced myself and sat down at his table to eat as he used his finger to flip through the glass casing on his phone while the rest of us were having a conversation about radio and the industry. I told a friend that I thought Roland was an asshole and my friend pointed out that I am like that sometimes too. I get bored easily with people and I realized he was right. I've been very cognizant of that ever since (lol). When Roland levitated Wendy Williams in the video below I absolutely agreed with him. I was just coming off a rare interview with Wendy for The Industry Dot Biz about a month before and I didn't notice that

Frank Ski

I was VERY impressed with this FaceBook Live segment by V103 in Atlanta on what your rights are as a driver and how to handle yourself when stopped by police. The meeting featured V103 vet Frank Ski and Attorney Robert Smith of Smith and Hirsh PLC in Nashville, TN who is also an Assistant Professor Department of Criminal Justice at Tennessee State University.

I've been very cognizant of that ever since (lol). When Roland levitated Wendy Williams in the video below I absolutely agreed with him.

Frank Ski

I was VERY impressed with this FaceBook Live segment by V103 in Atlanta on what your rights are as a driver and how to handle yourself when stopped by police. The meeting featured V103 vet Frank Ski and Attorney Robert Smith of Smith and Hirsh PLC in Nashville, TN who is also an Assistant Professor Department of Criminal Justice at Tennessee State University. One of the MOST powerful segments is at the 13:17 mark where the man in the red shirt asks a question and the professor lays our community to rest. How many black people do you know who repeatedly ignore and avoid jury duty? I actually look forward to it but on at least two occasions I was the only black male, for reasons that the professor talks about here and because we often avoid the responsibility. This, believe it or not, is the starting point as to why there are not many more convictions when a police officer shooting takes place like the ones we saw last week. So think twice the next time you get invited to participate in the jury system and you immediately start looking for excuses not to participate. [flowplayer id="174477"]

Is there anyone else that you would like to point out? Let us know.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen four major shootings involving the police and black men. It is incredibly unfortunate that this is not new and has been a continuing major issue for decades. 40 years ago "Black radio" would be the voice of the community during these trying times stopping all music to keep the community informed about marches, rallies and protests. Many of these strategies have disappeared but you have to ask yourself if it even would work today? Since we keep finding ourselves in the same position... no, it's not working. Even with the advent of social media, Black radio can still be very powerful because being the voice of the community is not usually conveyed well by a 25-year-old blogger. To be TRULY effective, one must be seasoned, controversial and fearless. Do we have such black hosts today? Thank God the answer is yes. They are few in numbers but they exist and these are the times when Black radio has the opportunity to really step up to the plate to represent the black voices and to speak for those who often feel that they can't speak for themselves. How did we do? What radio station or radio host do you feel truly represented the black community during the recent shootings? It takes a special kind of host to carry this kind of weight first and foremost he or sp; Here DL talks to Sway about the interview. DL, carries the weight of this interview and does well here too.

I met Roland for the first time on the Tom Joyner cruise this past April.
