  • Open Discussion - Black History Month
    2025/02/02

    Couch Potatoes!


    We’re back with another thought-provoking episode, diving into a wide array of important topics this week. We kick things off with a disturbing video from Latinos for Trump, then delve into the complex tensions between Latinos and African Americans. We’ll also explore recent immigration law changes, reflect on the tragic fatal plane crashes, and honor the victims and their families.


    Our discussion on Black History Month emphasizes the importance of understanding the value of the “Black Dollar” and the need for a fresh approach moving forward. Additionally, we address the silence among MAGA and Trump supporters, the growing hostility toward the LGBT+ community, and the potential for rebuilding bridges with the Hispanic community.
