Show Notes
Black men are highly visible in American culture, but increasingly absent from the places where long-term economic security is built: college campuses, stable employment, homeownership, and wealth. Why is that happening, and what do we do about it?
Dr. Wes Bellamy joins Angela to discuss the new report, The Economic State of Black Men and Boys in the United States, and what the data reveals about the economic path Black men are navigating from childhood into adulthood.
This is a conversation about more than unemployment numbers. It is about education, work, wealth, opportunity, and whether the institutions responsible for supporting Black men are actually meeting the moment.

Many candidates for national office on the Republican side are not showing up to debates, and generally don’t seem to be making a big effort to get elected. What’s their play? Do they have something else in mind besides getting votes?? Y’all, we have to be TOO BIG TO RIG.
Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer.
Bakari Sellers ranks the top candidates for the 2028 presidential election, sports-center style.
Are unhinged campaign ads the only way to cut through the noise?
