The Congressional Black “Carcass” in support of American Democracy in general , and Democratic party in particular, operating under the “illusion of inclusion” have done serious harm to their Black constituents for a least a generation. From their support of Rockefeller drug laws ,Reagan’s anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, to the 1994 crime bill that Clinton championed, they in conjunction with their white counterparts have done irreparable damage to Black Families. As supposed generals in this battle, they have failed to bring forth solutions for a failed Black economy, jobs for Black families, reparations to Blacks for hundreds of years of physical enslavement and Jim Crow. They need to lose their jobs as representatives to our people in this struggle, and be held accountable for their failure to realize who and what we are up against,(White Supremacy). If you don’t think they are asleep at the wheel, read the article and please leave your comments.

GUEST:
Taylor Frome: Taylor Frome is founder and executive director of YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SERVICES AKA YESPhilly. YESPhilly is a Philadelphia based nonprofit with the mission of developing opportunities for Philly youth who drop out of our high schools. YESPhilly started in 2000, and have had several different types of programs, from community centers, to a GED program, to a Alternative High School—where students can finish their high school education and get a regular high school diploma. YESPhilly is different from other Alternative schools because the focus is on meeting students where they are, and helping them transition into higher education or employment. Before starting YESPhilly Ms. Frome had started the YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School, which is still providing a combination of job training and high school education.
Rose McGee: Rose McGee is a “sweet potato pie philanthropist”, storyteller, educator, playwright, and entrepreneur.

Two summers ago, she led her own community of Golden Valley in baking 56 Sweet Potato Comfort Pies and personally served them at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. where nine African Americans were killed. Her Sweet Potato Comfort Pie Approach has become a cornerstone during the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday weekend when Rose along with other volunteers bake sweet potato pies at Calvary Lutheran Church, then facilitate conversations around race and equity. Participants then take the pies and distribute them as gifts to individuals and organizations throughout the community as a symbol of concern and celebration. She is author of the book, Story Circle Stories, works for Minnesota Humanities Center, and resides in Golden Valley, Minnesota where she was recently selected as Citizen of The Year.
Mike Nelson: Mike Nelson aka Mike the Motivator is an Author, Minister, Motivational Speaker. A proud native of West Philadelphia Mike, travels the country providing student development to schools.
