The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

I've bee paying attention to the  @joebuddentv  podcast debate with  @NativeLandPod  as well as the  @BreakfastClubPower1051FM . While I think some of the public debate has been productive, there are aspects of it that are very problematic for the Black community. I share my thoughts. What do you think? #joebudden #joebuddenpodcast #joebuddennetwork #angelarye #andrewgillum #tiffanycross #bakarise...

​ @stephenasmith  apologized to #jasminecrockett. There were several inconsistencies in his statements that cannot be ignored from his words on #kamalaharris to his statement about not wanting enemies. I also share my thoughts on the powerful video from  @rolandsmartin  breaking down how wrong #stephenasmith was in his critique of Crockett. What do you think?

While speaking at a corporate event, an audience member asked me about diversity fatigue and how to be a better ally. I shared my response and I believe that my response is really the approach we should take in building a community where everyone can be celebrated and not tolerated. Let me know what you think! #diversityfatigue #diversity #DEI #diversityandinclusion #inclusion #inclusionspeaker #k...

It’s unfortunate but not surprising that  @stephenasmith  has chosen to make #jasminecrockett a target but it is great that so many Black men have been stepping up publicly to defend her. I hope she draws some comfort in that. The fact of the matter is that #stephenasmith is a do-called democrat who has chosen to be the attack dog for republicans against the democrats and Black people and we see r...

The mainstream media is not looking at the #pentagon media story from the right angle. #trump and #petehegseth WANT the media gone. They didn't expect the news agencies to bend the knee. They WANTED to have  @oann  be the only press voice for the Pentagon, similar to #oann became the voice for the Voice of America, which is the international media wing of the United States government. This is part...

​ @stephenasmith  blamed all 3 of the last democratic presidents for what happened and is happening in Ukraine but has no words for #trump and his role in BOTH of his presidencies. #stephenasmith should jsut come out as #maga but he know once he does that he will lose his value to his brand. He can be as loud as he wants, but he continues to be loud and wrong and now he is engaging in straight up...

I am happy for the families of Israelis and Palestinians who are being united with their families. I don't trust #trump, #netanyahu, or #hamas to lead to a sustainable peace.

It's sad to see so may forms of media fail to acknowledge 3 takeaways from the 2024 election. There's an accepted narrative that just isn't true. I see this not only across MAGA outlets, but also liberal outlets as well as independent media outlets as well. Check out the 3 reasons I provide and let me know what you think!

In the ​⁠ @CNN  interview that has gone viral, White House Deputy Chief of staff Stephen Miller said #trump had “plenary authority” which basically means limitless power and then he froze. #cnn then edits the video. Some are saying it was a slip of the tongue. This is EXACTLY what he believes and it needs to be called out and CNN should be called out as well. #stephenmiller #cnn Read the article:...

In a video that has gone viral, a man is heard screaming at ICE agents that they shouldn't be choking the Black man they are recording but they are supposed to only be going after Mexicans. This is the reason #trump is thriving. Divide and conquer. ICE agents should be choking NO ONE! This moment had me thinking about what legendary singer and activist  @JoanBaezOfficial  said to Nicolle Wallace a...

There needed to be consequences for what #diddy did. I hope the #diddytrial serves as a cautionary tale for others. #hiphop artists generally escaped consequences of the #metoo movement.

As you'll see in the video below, ICE conducted a raid on an apartment complex in Chicago and said "Fuck them kids" as they ziptied them and held them for hours at gunpoint. Where is #jbpritzker who said he was going to go after people who harm his people? Furthermore, where are all of YOU who thought those #iceraids weren't going to affect you and said Latinos were having #fafo moments? Do you re...

Spoilers in this video. I watched Marvel Zombies. Although I thought the show was good, I was upset with the fact that they had #blackpanther in the show but refused to give him a speaking line. #spiderman spoke FOR him. Why are they doing this? I didn't even expect to see Black Panther in this show. They might as well have kept him out of the show if they were going to disrespect him like this. T...

Rather than realize the hypocrisy of them practicing #cancelculture, the republicans and #maga are now using the paternalistic term “consequence culture.” We can’t let this hypocrisy continue.

Yes, Comey did Hillary wrong! It doesn't matter. He is the latest example of the retribution mindset of the #trump administration and they are coming for everyone. This is the time to unite. Don't wait for them to come for you or whomever you define as "my people." Stand up! #jdvance #stephenmiller #trump #comey #jamescomey #upstander #jimcomey #fbi #doj #departmentofjustice #lindseyhalligan #pamb...

#erikakirk was the only speaker I saw (I didn’t watch the entire event) who actually spoke in terms of Christianity and forgiveness. #trump, #stephenmiller and others used this event as a #maga rally. Trump should have been booed when he said he hates his enemies but he was loudly applauded the hypocrisy is real and on full blast but they don’t care. #charliekirk means nothing to Trump but an oppo...

I was saddened but not surprised by the comments of  @stephenasmith  on his podcast. He basically said that #jimmykimmel should never critiqued the President and no one should because they should know what's coming. He said that #kimmel didn't "read the tealeaves" and that he should have known better. He then falsely equates the idea of #cancelculture and tries to "Both sides" this. #stephenasmith...

#jimmykimmel was canceled not because he critiqued #charliekirk but because the #trump administration and the #fcc threatened ABC. Trump said weeks ago that Kimmel was next on the list and here we are. They are using Charlie Kirk's name in vain. We need to speak up. We need to be #upstanders and not #bystanders. How are you fighting back? Share some advice! STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.i...

As I've listened to experts on political assassinations, I'm learning that many of these killers have no political affiliation. Some wanted to impress a woman. Some just wanted fame. What if, based on what we know so far, his motive was only love for his partner who he felt was being targeted? That does not justify the killing. What it DOES do is call America to have a deeper conversation about th...

You see him everywhere from  @msnbc  to the  @claycaneshow  and more! Now, Allen Orr, Esq. joins the UPstander's Podcast to talk about his life and what led him to this incredible work as an advocate for immigrants. He also shares deeper insight on why American citizens should be more deeply concerned about what is going on and what they can do about it! Let's GO! #allenorr #immigration #iceraids...

While Utah Governor Spencer Cox is being praised for saying people should play more in the grass and get off of social media, more attention should be paid to his racist and xenophobic comments about wishing the shooter was not "one of us." Who is "us" Governor Cox? Just say it! Cox on praying for someone else: https://newrepublic.com/post/200421/utah-governor-spencer-cox-kirk-death Cox on left-le...

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said on the network shows that #tylerrobinson was "radicalized" by "left-wing ideology" but provided more evidence. He said that Robinson had a #transgender partner but that means nothing at this point of the investigation. From #lauraloomer to #nickfuentes and his #groypers, many people in the republican #maga world hated #charliekirk too. Lastly, #spencercox is scared t...

Regardless of who killed #charliekirk, there are deep issues about this killing and other violence that America must address instead of spewing more vitriol and targeting each other. #donaldtrump is not the leader for this moment. He is still spewing hate. Furthermore, the killer is apparently not trans, not gay, and people don't know his political affiliation because he didn't vote but he comes f...

I believe that we should not be airing the killing of anyone on television or social media. Unfortunately, the media doesn't feel the same way. There is a serious hypocrisy in the airing of Black death on television. America has a history of airing Black death, even going to back to post cards of lynchings that were mailed by the United States Postal Service. We watched George Floyd get killed for...
