We talk about what happened after slavery and the Black Codes, and how the Black Codes parallel the War on Drugs and Mass Incarceration today.

Happy Memorial Day! On today's episode, we discuss the significance of the original Roots series. Some callers discussed the allegations of plagiarism and other unsavory characteristics of Alex Haley, the author of the original Roots book, however we set the record straight about the importance of the series in giving a more accurate depiction of chattel slavery in the United States, especially at the time. We also discuss the important role that African Americans have played in the US military, serving in every war since the Revolutionary War, and how black people not only built this country through free labor, but helped to protect it as well, making the USA just as much our country as anyone else's.

Recent polls show that Donald Trump is polling higher than presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, however polls also suggest that Bernie Sanders stands a chance against Donald Trump. Clinton is winning the Black vote despite a history of supporting legislation that harms the Black Community, while Bernie Sanders directly addresses issues that affect the Black Community, such as the War On Drugs and Mass Incarceration, but is trailing behind Clinton and losing the Black vote. Today we discuss why Black people continue to support candidates such as Clinton who don't address black issues directly, we highlight the differences between Clinton and Sanders, and discuss the possible ramifications for the future of the Black Community. We also discuss the outcome of today's verdict in the Edward Nero. Nero was found not guilty in the crimes he was charged with related to the death of Freddie Gray.

To commemorate the birthday of Malcolm X this week (May 19th, 1925), we discuss his legacy and how much of what he said was prophetic and applies today. We talk about George Zimmerman auctioning off the gun used in the murder of Trayvon Martin and the significance of his actions. We discuss how and why police practices vary by community and break down the insidious nature of what has been deemed "The New Jim Crow." The discussion was lively and informative, and this episode is another that you won't want to miss. Originally aired 05/16/2016 on WOLB 1010 AM Baltimore. Tune in every Monday from 2pm -3pm.

On this episode, we discuss how mass incarceration has affected the black community, especially in Baltimore. We discuss how the policies of the Clintons have contributed to the problem, and pose the question of why black people seem to love the Clintons so much. This episode is very informative with spirited and fiery input from the listening public and is definitely a must listen. Originally aired 05/09/2016 on WOLB 1010 AM Baltimore. Tune in every Monday from 2pm -3pm.

After a brief birthday tribute to James Brown (his birthday is tomorrow May 3rd), we discuss the origins of the urban Black community, starting with Black migration from the South to the North , where African Americans established proud communities, to the destruction of said communities through drugs, the war on drugs, and eventually mass incarceration, which has created a cycle of poverty and poor outcomes that we intend to diagnose and cure. It is important to know that Black communities weren't always as they are now, and they don't have to remain this way forever. After a brief discussion of the recent Baltimore Democratic primary, we break down what a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) entails, in light of the planned development of Port Covington by Sagamore, Under Armour's real estate development wing. TIFs are supposed to be a way to entice businesses to bring their commerce to blighted areas and create opportunities, however it seems that it is nothing more than a corporate handout, and in the case o

This week we spoke on the tragic passing and genius legacy of Prince. Prince was not only a great musician who played 27 instruments and a great businessman who succeeded in maintaining control over his image and catalog, but he also did great works for the Black community as a whole and deserves a fitting tribute. One of Prince's generous contributions to Baltimore was his performance after the city's uprisings in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray. We transition and discuss what, if anything, has changed since Gray's tragic death and how the city should move forward. Originally aired 04/25/2016 on WOLB 1010 AM Baltimore.

When you imagine a drug dealer, who do you see? On this episode of the Call Tyrone Show we continue last's weeks theme of "Don't Believe The Hype," while exposing the truth hidden in plain sight that white people not only use drugs at about the same rate as black people, but they also sell drugs at a higher rate than blacks, while blacks are far more likely to be arrested. Listen as we discuss the facts of the War On Drugs. Originally aired 04/18/2016 on WOLB 1010 AM Baltimore. Tune in every Monday from 2pm -3pm.

We discuss the importance of approaching topics from an analytical standpoint by conducting proper research, rather than basing opinions purely off of emotion and conjecture. This topic was partially inspired by a caller who challenged Tyrone regarding Malcolm X's legacy last week, and the caller's emotion driven statements were proven wrong in an entertaining and informative clip at the beginning of the show. From there we get into Hillary Clinton's visit to Baltimore (she visited Port Covington, while Bernie Sanders visited Sandtown), Bill Clinton's defense of her "super predators" comment in the 90s, how the Dollar House program can be a great way for the local government and the citizens to invest in the rebuilding of the community (as opposed to giving it up to corporate interests), and the importance of holding politicians accountable overall and how we should channel our collective power as leverage to make change. This is a hard hitting show packed with information, be sure to listen and share! Origi

There is much celebration and hoopla about the Governor Hogan's program to spend $700,000,00 to basically demolish what's left of the black community in Baltimore (to hide years blight and neglect after the ravages of the War on Drugs and mass incarceration decimated the city's Black population) to create green spaces, then ensure that wealthy developers get the land (as they will be the only ones in the area with enough capital to do this once the houses are reduced to just land) and develop it for gentrification, using what little TIF bonds are left after Under Armour's Covington Point project(which will tie up ten years of TIFs worth a half billion) to do it. On this episode we discuss an alternative, the successful Dollar House Program, and how the program can revitalize communities for current residents and not push them out for the wealthy developers to do as they wish with Black neighborhoods. We speak with the callers about how this issue connects with the bigger picture of the issues that ail the
