Hosted by cultural critic and author Stephen Earley Jordan II, he questions - - Are we setting ourselves up to fail by naming our children ridiculous names? Does naming our children names like Clitoria Jackson (yes! a real name) show our lack of educational and economic advancement? Jordan questions if he is antiwhite, why STD rate is higher among black teen girls and how we can change that; children handcuffed in classrooms, and NY's first Black, blind governor.
