"Not like that set of dates nice group. She's the night chair in race. In journalism. she will also found the center for journalism and democracy at howard which will focus on training students in investigative journalism and incredibly and i mean incredibly needed skill And when you know she would she would know if anybody would know so. This is not even really a re. I mean obviously this is not a read about her because in the announcement it was also made public. Tallahassee coats will also take on a faculty role at howard. He is a howard alum so he'll be teaching in the college of arts and sciences. But it's more like. I'm just so impressed with this black woman. Who if you haven't read her statement about the whole thing you really should go look it up. But what she said. Essentially was i have busted my ass for these crackers and i have proven over and over again that i am simply the baddest bitch when it comes to these things and there's nothing else for me to say like if you don't if you don't want me then i'll talk to me and unc chapel hill. Yes you can free yourself. You ain't even gotta worry about me and my bright ass read ask who lay colored hair coming up to you school and nick up the joint or whatever like whatever your board thought was going to happen because the sixteen nineteen project bitch came through like you ain't even gotta worry about it. I will go. Why am appreciated where. I'm wanted where my talents are seeing off top for what they are where i am valued for what i bring to the dan tape and it was just like i've truly did not. I don't know why. But i didn't see this coming. I thought she was going. Take the tenured job and you know. Try to work on. Unc from the inside out or whatever but excited to see what she does at howard and that also leads me into the second part of my read which goes out to one. Felicia rashad Who we truly care. Say i mean we can't say anything good about anybody on this fucking program. 'cause they will turn around in the next seventy two hours and disappoint the absolute fuck out of us but felicia rashad Is the new dean of fine arts. I think at howard right doesn't matter anymore And so when. Bill cosby was let out of prison last week on a technicality. Again i want you to understand. It is not as though some new information came out and he was suddenly deemed innocent. This nigga literally pulled a chance card. That works in his favor. Exactly exactly this was literally the prosecutor's office agreed. Not do something. And then they did it anyway like literally technicality. That got this man. Out of jail and felicia rashad seventeen minutes. After this hit the wire decided to log into fucking twitter which. I mean really. Twitter does not. It never works out well for celebrities. When y'all decide that that's where you want to let out your your problematic s opinions but yeah. She decided to tweet her support of Bill cosby and said something. Like a great wrong has been righted yes. A miscarriage of justice is corrected which is just like what first of all first of all this man soon as being overturned does not mean that. A miscarriage of justice is being corrected if anything miscarriage of justice is being enacted. It is being carried out right now. I don't know how you felicia rashad or any of the other weirdos who are just supporting bill cosby cosby. Despite every reason on the planet not to. I don't know how y'all ignore the fact the sheer number of women who have said something about it. The almost certain fact that everybody who bill cosby has sexually harassed did not speak up about. It has not made their story public. And never will thanks to the way that they have seen you niggers fucking reacting to it and third and most importantly the fact that that nasty as scummy as creepy s son of a bitch admitted to drugging women like. I don't know how y'all ignore the facts and the common sense right in front of your face because you love the cosby so-so show so damn much. It simply was not that great. Like i get a lot to a lot of us start about. I mean an. I understand. I really do and for a lot of you was like the first time you saw niggers who wasn't broke anywhere i guess and i'm not trying to take away the impact that the cosby show had on a lot of people. Because that's a very real however it was not good enough for y'all to be doing all these acrobatic twists and flips and turns. And all this shit. China justify all of this for heathcliff huxtable. Gosh yeah i mean. If he's not. Joe daddy he is not your daddy. He's not clair's macho mama. Theo in them. That's not joe brothers and sisters. None of that shit. You did not grow up in that brownstone. That's not joe house. That's not a life. I don't understand how y'all are so attached like so attached to this man and this program that you are willing to overlook all of the evidence right in front of your face and be like nah. It's because he was getting ready to buy. Nbc is because y'all just don't like when niggers are finally getting they should together. Y'all just hayden on this black man. A legend in the community. And so what. You hoes shouldn't have never been at his house no damn way and if he was in a room along with bill cosby and decided to ingest the drink. And that was your own. Goddamn fall stupid bitch. What did you think you had a reasonable expectation to be along with bill cosby and not be drugged and raped high. Your bed like that's really what you make it sound like right now. Felicia shot. We're shot was right there being the main bitch to pipe up and say something about it. Stephanie mills dumb. Relevant ask decided to chime in and be like hopefully now he can work to free other negus who are in jail unfairly and this will bring awareness to the blood bid. You clearly don't know what the fuck you talking about. But you also don't know nothing about bill cosby if you think about the turn around and use his energy money resources or any combination of the three to help migas do anything like not not nicotine jail none. Oh no no no. That's not bill cosby. Bill cosby is like the foundation of respectability politics. You know what he's gonna do. Donate money to an c. You perhaps funds some scholarships stuff like that to the niggers that he feels deserve it. He nothing to do nothing. Yeah i mean yes. Bill cosby and his wife were really. Don't expect us to do anything but diet. Oh no. I don't mean now but like before all this came out. They were huge donors at spelman. I don't think howard but like they definitely donated a lot of money. Yeah they're very big on like we're going to help you young blacks who are doing the right thing in behaving in the correct manner to advance your lives and like it's like i said the foundation respectability politics but again. It's just something about the whole. That patriarchy has on his community. Even natori fucking.

"Choice. Yes amy well as we discussed a few weeks ago on the show. It seem most likely that adams would prevail given his initially and it turned out to be so in terms of the counts of the absentee ballots. It was a very close arrays but then again there were many candidates in this race. So i think He's he's likely to become the second african american mayor in the history of new york city. And as i mentioned before. I've known eric adams for about thirty years. Now he was a big source. Of my when i was a reporter on issue so within the police department and and wage the valiant fightback in those days against racism and police abuse within the department became increasingly conservative as it became a politician. So i think that the real the real story here. I think is that in the last year or two there has been a considerable increase in gun violence and crime across the united states. I believe a lot of it. Is police department standing down in response to the massive public criticism around the country and and more and more guns being funneled into a black and brown communities and adams then was able to capture the majority of the democratic electorate in the primary as a result of the concern that The defunding police movement had got was going too far and that they that the voters especially in the black and brown communities overwhelmingly supported him. So i think that that's the key lesson from this. But i think that adams will be not as conservative as a lot of people's think but definitely not nearly as progressive with some of the other candidates well and of course we'll continue to cover what happens here in new york city but now we're turning to nicole. Hannah jones after months of controversy. The acclaimed journalist the new york times announced tuesday. She's decided not to join the faculty at her alma mater.

Who's a howard alum and close friend of hannah. Jones will join her at the school and running the center. The decision by hannah jones comes after her. Tenure was initially denied by the university of north carolina. Board of trustees in may after it was first unanimously approved by the faculty. The board typically rubberstamps tenure professors who've one sector approval from their peers. The decision to deny her tenure was reversed last monday after massive protests from alumni faculty and students nicole hundred. John spoke tuesday on. Cbs this morning with host gayle king about her decision to decline the tenured professorship at unc chapel hill. This was a position that since one thousand nine hundred eighty came with tenure. The night chairs are designed for professional journalists. Who were in working in the field to come into academia and every other chair before me who also happen to be white received that position with tenure. I never been denied. No one had never been denied tenure before exactly and i went through the tenure process and i received the unanimous approval of the faculty to be granted tenure and so to be denied it and to only have that vote occur on the last possible day at the last possible moment after threat of legal action after weeks of protests after it became a national scandal. It's just not something that i want anymore. Nicole hannah jones is best known for her work at the new york times where she produce the sixteen nineteen project an interactive project that reexamines the legacy of slavery. She's won the pulitzer prize for her work. She told cbs this morning why she thinks. Unc denied her. Tenure what has been reported is that there was a great deal of political interference by conservatives. Who don't like the work that i've done particularly the sixteen nineteen project and also by the powerful donor who gave the largest donation in the seventy year history of the journalism school. So it's pretty clear that my tenure was not taken up because of political opposition because of discriminatory views against my viewpoint. I believe my race and my gender for more we're joined in greensboro north carolina killian investigative reporter for nc policy. Watch who nicole hundred jones credited with breaking the story about the quote discrimination. I faced in the unc. Tenure sheets said his latest story. It's an exclusive print interview with. Her headline to kohana jones declines. Unc tenure offer heads to howard university. Welcome to democracy now. We're talking about one of the oldest public university in the united states joe kelley and take us through it. What happened and who the donor is this critical point that university's journalism school is named for who intervened in this process. Sure will it's a little over-simplistic. She was denied tenure because it actually was much more unusual than that they actually decided not to vote on it. Which is something you see in politics not usually in academia killing something in a committee making sure it never comes out of committee never comes to a vote. Nobody is on record publicly one way or the other. That's something you see north carolina general assembly councils and county commissioner meetings. Not generally something you see on the board of trustees major adversity and what happened here and our reporting reveal that not only. Was there conservative. Backlash to the idea for working at the university from activists in elected republicans. But also from walter.

That's a little over eight thousand votes adams who'd be the city second. Black mayor ran to the right of his party. Promising to tackle crime. He's also known for supporting charter schools. And the real estate industry and taking on racism in the police department of new york meanwhile updated tallies and the city council ratio. women are on track to represent a majority of the new york city council for the first time before we go to our final story nicole. Hannah jones moving to howard university rejecting resignation. Tenure from unc. Roma amata one. Can you talk about the significance of Of eric adams take winning the democratic primary. He'll then go up against curtis lou the republican choice. Yes amy well as we discussed a few weeks ago on the show. It seem most likely that adams would prevail given his initially and it turned out to be so in terms of the counts of the absentee ballots. It was a very close arrays but then again there were many candidates in this race. So i think He's he's likely to become the second african american mayor in the history of new york city. And as i mentioned before. I've known eric adams for about thirty years. Now he was a big source. Of my when i was a reporter on issue so within the police department and and wage the valiant fightback in those days against racism and police abuse within the department became increasingly conservative as it became a politician. So i think that the real the real story here. I think is that in the last year or two there has been a considerable increase in gun violence and crime across the united states. I believe a lot of it. Is police department standing down in response to the massive public criticism around the country and and more and more guns being funneled into a black and brown communities and adams then was able to capture the majority of the democratic electorate in the primary as a result of the concern that The defunding police movement had got was going too far and that they that the voters especially in the black and brown communities overwhelmingly supported him. So i think that that's the key lesson from this. But i think that adams will be not as conservative as a lot of people's think but definitely not nearly as progressive with some of the other candidates well and of course we'll continue to cover what happens here in new york city but now we're turning to nicole. Hannah jones after months of controversy. The acclaimed journalist the new york times announced tuesday. She's decided not to join the faculty at her alma mater. Unc chapel hill instead the pulitzer prize. Winning reporter will join the faculty at howard university. The prestigious historically black university where the knight foundation has established a tenured endowed professorship and race in journalism for her she also plans to create the center for journalism and democracy acclaim journalists tallahassee coats. Who's a howard alum and close friend of hannah. Jones will join her at the school and running the center. The decision by hannah jones comes after her. Tenure was initially denied by the university of north carolina. Board of trustees in may after it was first unanimously approved by the faculty. The board typically rubberstamps tenure professors who've one sector approval from their peers. The decision to deny her tenure was reversed last monday after massive protests from alumni faculty and students nicole hundred. John spoke tuesday on. Cbs this morning with host gayle king about her decision to decline the tenured professorship that unc chapel hill this was a position that since one thousand nine hundred eighty came with tenure. The night chairs are designed for professional journalists who were in working in the field to come into academia and every other chair before me who also happen to be white received that position with tenure. I never been denied. No one had never been denied tenure before exactly and i went through the tenure process and i received the unanimous approval of the faculty to be granted tenure and so to be denied it and to only have that vote occur on the last possible day at the last possible moment after threat of legal action after weeks of protests after it became a national scandal. It's just not something that i want anymore. Nicole hannah jones is best known for her work at the new york times where she produce the sixteen nineteen project an interactive project that reexamines the legacy of slavery. She's won the pulitzer prize for her work. She told cbs this morning why she thinks. Unc denied her. Tenure what has been reported is that there was a great deal of political interference by conservatives. Who don't like the work that i've done particularly the sixteen nineteen project and also by the powerful donor who gave the largest donation in the seventy year history of the journalism school. So it's pretty clear that my tenure was not taken up because of political opposition because of discriminatory views against my viewpoint. I believe my race and my gender for more we're joined in greensboro north carolina killian investigative reporter for nc policy. Watch who nicole hundred jones credited with breaking the story about the quote discrimination. I faced in the unc. Tenure sheets said his latest story. It's an exclusive print interview with. Her headline to kohana jones declines. Unc tenure offer heads to howard university. Welcome to democracy now. We're talking about one of the oldest public university in the united states joe kelley and take us through it. What happened and who the donor is this critical point that university's journalism school is named for who intervened in this process. Sure will it's a little over-simplistic. She was denied tenure because it actually was much more unusual than that they actually decided not to vote on it. Which is something you see in politics not usually in academia killing something in a committee making sure it never comes out of committee never comes to a vote. Nobody is on record publicly one way or the other. That's something you see north carolina general assembly councils and county commissioner meetings. Not generally something you see on the board of trustees major adversity and that's what happened here and our reporting reveal that not only was there conservative backlash to the idea for working at the university from activists and elected republicans but also from walter hudson. Who is a arkansas media. Magnate and graduate graduated the The journalism school who gave twenty five million dollars in two thousand eighteen which led to the school being named after him and school agreeing to what he calls his core values of journalism into a wall at the at the university he was i interviewed and he said that he had concerns.

We know that one of the things that's going to be on the ballot this election season is criminal justice reform and we think about criminal justice reform. We really don't think about all the ways all offices where we vote for people and they have an impact, and today we're going to be speaking to two women in elected office who had been leading on criminal justice. Reform issues. We have state's attorney I-I've brave boy from Maryland in Kentucky State representative. Avocado. Scott in true fashion I we have to start with having you tell us what you're you into politics and we'll start with you state's attorney. Well, that's a great question. Actually I, had no intentions in getting into politics really it was my father who want to work on a campaign. He knows sometimes you have the your parents even as adults. That's. Asked. Me I was going to be a lawyer told him down and. Then, he told me I think I like you to work on his campaign I. Think you need to get politically as like now they're not. WanNa do that. But that the person who? Wanted. To work for happen to have graduate from the same law school that I will. The Howard University School of law. I'm did okay. Another in help bison out. Ever since V. I love how Howard alums Y'all always get an issue it can do no. Just regular conversation. How are you today? Oh I went to Howard. Thank you. Scott. Tell us whether you into politics. Definitely, you know state's attorney brave boy our fathers I mean you know it's their fault. So. I was born in. My Dad gave me my name Attica I'm named after the prison in upstate New York born a few months after the uprisings there in. So I didn't have a choice Ashanti really didn't in. So early on I got involved in a right out of college classmates run for city also in Knoxville Tennessee because I went away to ABC you is well, it's our on his campaign and then my full time job was at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and director was a county commissioner who became the first woman mayor of Maciel Tennessee and I came back home and I was involved with organized Labor at jobs with justice in ended up having. To me that I needed to run for office in. So because my friends mostly black and Brown women encouraged me to run for office. That's how I. Got Involved I love it in Y'all Attica is my emerge sister she went through emerged Kentucky and I remember the first time. I. Got to email her for something and I was so excited because I finally get to work with Atacan. Something is your pie vaccine my email she said, hey, queen and I almost died unlike y'all Attica call me queen because that's the way I, feel about her so you are just so fabulous and I wanNA start with having. US. Talk about retailers case because I think there's so much here particularly with you wrap Scott you just had an op Ed in the Washington Post after the verdict you are out protesting with your daughter named Ashanti another reason why Atacan I are meant to be best friends and you were arrested in. You've been dealing with the aftermath of that. You've sponsored Brianna Law for Kentucky. You're the only black woman currently in the Kentucky State House. So let's let's dissect this case in state's attorney boy I. Know You have a lot to add is the fact that there were no knock warrants how they handle just paperwork body cameras the grand jury I know that something that has really piece Pete People's interests about this grand jury in Oh what does this attorney general deal? So Rep Scott First let's talk about your op-ed why you felt you had to write it in a cave really personal place you said, this is personal to me. Sean in and I'm on this podcast with Queens. Come on State Attorney Ray boy This is power in so. Yes I happy that Opportunity Washington Post invited me to write a piece just from the perspective whatever that was on things going on here in Louisville Kentucky, and so that's exactly what I did I poured my heart into it as a mother of two black children. Masan is the same age as Taylor Madonna's nineteen. She wanted to be an emt in them. Brianna Taylor was murdered and she said to me Ma that didn't protect her from police violence I'm not sure this. So this is really pulling on us in shanty the people relieving leading the Front Lines here in Louisville for justice for Taylor are mostly women is so we're feeling this heavily. So yes, we've back to now to grandeur WANNA speak out. So that says to me that the Attorney General for Kentucky was so inept that in such a failure that you have rand jurors who want the right to speak out to say, he did not give us all of the options in front of us. There was no one there to speak for Briana Taylor in that this whole process was a sham that's where we all right now that says something about the continued. Kushner justice for Taylor in that's why we won't give up and that's why this movement is sustained
