The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

How does a man who said stopping #antisemitism is his top priority bring in an antisemite from #southafrica? Trump is trying to deport any Black or Brown person for falsely being antisemitic but he brings in someone named #CharlesKleinhaus here with those views? Will he be sent back to South Africa? NO!

This was not an ambush. President #ramaphosa should have expected everything he got in that meeting. #trump used this as an opportunity to promote yet another racist story that started on the margins of our society but became popular under #elonmusk. #starlink #southafrica STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www....

Senator Bernie Sanders is the latest in the democratic party to move towards appealing the #maga base. I understand he is a registered independent, but obviously he rides with democrats. His comments on the  ⁨@OfficialFlagrant⁩  podcast was discussing and he loses even more credibility in that space. The fact of the matter is that republicans build their entire platform on identity politics and wh...

I believe that most people out there sincerely are wishing the best for #joebiden and his family. I unfortunately believe that very soon the cynical people in media spaces will take over and tie this to the election, create narratives about the American people being lied to, and make jokes about his health and this will be led by #donaldtrump. I am no prophet. Look at the jokes about #popefrancis...

So many people call various atrocities "genocide" without knowing its history and the 5 categories that make up genocide. If you weren't sure, here's a crash course for you! #genocide #gaza #holocaust #slavery #trailoftears #armenia #rwanda #congo #palestine #freepalestine #freecongo #raphael lemkin Genocide definition link: https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/learn-about-genocide-and-other-...

Folks! We don't need the word and we never did! I don't differentiate between the spellings. If the roots of the word is negative then the word will always be negative. We have so much richness that we can claim. We need to move on from this usage. This isn't about respectability politics. This is about US. Wherever you have been historically with this word, do we really STILL need it now? I don't...

So much is being made about Pope Leo XIV's #creole ancestry. Giving #sinners vibes for real. The fact of the matter is that people should not be gravitating towards him as the first Black pope. I don't know of any history of this man claiming Blackness. We tried it with Tiger Woods and we see how that went. I understand the history of the one drop rule in America but folks are going a bit too far...

I specifically separated  @stephenasmith  from "ignorant Black people" because he knows exactly what he is doing. The fact that  @CNN  would have Black people on who proudly admit to getting their information from  @tiktok  and  @RealCandaceO  shows the type of direction that #cnn is going as it relates to its Black guests. This is the video from  @rolandsmartin  that I am referring to in my post:...

The "first 100 days" metric is a waste of time. Nothing new will change come day 101. The mainstream still struggles to define him for who he really is and it's etremely problematic. #news #upstander #kilmarabregogarcia #100days #trumpfirst100days #trumpnews STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/om...

I will not see the #thunderebolts and #fantasticfour movies in theaters. There are no Black people with prominent roles. Sarah Niles is playing someone named Lynne in the Fantastic Four movie and Wendell Pierce is playing a Congressman. From what I can tell, there are no prominent roles and after seeing #sinners I don't need to further tolerate our marginalization. Since #trump supporter #bobiger...

On ⁠⁠ @rolandsmartin ⁠⁠ #rolandmartinunfiltered, I spoke about Trump's plans to export American citizens. I use EXPORT because you can't deport American citizens. You can only expel them. #trump is working daily on his plan to become a dictator and we can't let him. Period. #kilmarabregogarcia #donaldtrump #immigration #massdeportation #upstander Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.f...

It is sad that so much attention has been placed on #michelleobama not attending the inauguration of #trump. She was not still the First Lady at that time. Jill Biden was First Lady at that time. The part that is never brought up is that Donald Trump did not attend the inauguration of President Biden and #mikepence had to conduct the ceremony. The hypocrisy is not surprising but is still frustrati...

I thoroughly enjoyed "Sinners" by #ryancoogler & #michaelbjordan. It gave me similar vibes that I got after leaving the first Black Panther movie. It's the political statement we need whether that was the intent or not. I didn't even know what the movie was going to be about. I just wanted to support and it was completely worth it! What did you think? #buddyguy #delroylindo #haileesteinfeld #wunmi...

It is frustrating to watch networks continue to platform #tomhoman as if what he and the #trump administration is doing is normal and legal. #joescarborough failed to adequately challenge Homan and did not let the other panelists ask questions. He also gave Homan several outs, which was problematic and threw in Homan working under Obama, which was misleading at best. Scarborough also failed to ask...

I think the #fightingoligarchytour ultimately is a good thing in terms of its messaging and energizing people but I'm not seeing much in the form of organizing beyond the rallies. On the website that is a subdivision of the Bernie Sanders page, I'm not seeing any directions to help people organize and I'm not seeing any potential financial assistance to other democrats. I'm just not seeing it bein...

I have said for weeks that we've been in a #constitutionalcrisis and #trump made it clear when he said he would ignore the #scotus ruling on Mr. Garcia from Maryland. It's important to understand that many, if not most people FEEL like they are free in a dictatorship but they are only free until the dictator turns on them. That's where we are today. #trump has made it clear that he wants to export...

As I say in the video, I am speaking speaking specifically about LEADERS within the parties. I am not talking about everyday individuals, because hate can come from everyone on the political spectrum and does. That's a fact but when it comes to leadership, you do not find democratic leaders promoting political violence. You don't find prominent democratic-leaning podcasters or media outlets promot...

Such an honor to have the great Clay Cane join the "UPstander's podcast"! #claycane not only broke down the story of his life and how he got where he is today, he also paths a positive way forward for this country grounded in his incredible book "The Grift: The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans from the Party of Lincoln to the Cult of Trump.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Just like #hitler was not taken seriously, America is not taking #trump seriously. Trump and his team is actively trying to figure out ways to stay in office. He is becoming Hitler. He already has a #gestapo secret police, as we are seeing by the arrests of students legally allowed to be in America. I can run down the list of what he's doing but it doesn't matter if you don't know history. History...

Former Vice President Harris is a private citizen and can say whatever she wants. Harris has played the loyal soldier throughout her entire vice presidency and presidential campaign. It's also important that we not forget that #kamalharris lost in part because too many didn't want to vote for a Black woman. Everyone is trying to change the narrative to Trump won because it was only about his econo...

The media needs to stop giving #trump a pass. His "mistakes" ARE policy. The more we learn about each of these deportees, the more we are learning that these people are not members of #ms13. Mistakes are when you bump into someone, not when you round up people because of tatoos and ship them to one of the world's most notorious prisons. And then to say that the U.S. can't bring them back when they...

Entertainers are not our leaders unless they want to be. Harry Belafonte, Dick Gregory, Jane Fonda, Queen Latifah, KRS-ONE, etc. I would argue that they are/were activist minded before they were entertainers or they consider themselves activists first and entertainers second. #billburr has made it clear that he is just a comedian and that journalists and news outlets shouldn't be sought out for th...

We are NOT rockin with your attempts to be MAGA lite! You run away from the base and we are running away from you! How you switch up so quickly? During the election you were one of the top attack dogs. I can hear your base quoting Ice Cube: "Used to be my homie now you act like you don't know me!".
