“Real journalism is publishing something someone else does not want published – the rest is just public relations.” George Orwell
With so much drama in the world today in our communities on both macro and micro levels, it’s always strange to see the news or people that claim to be journalists talking about all kinds of silly things and never what’s going on. The Firing Squad is here to take aim at all that is wrong with the world, starting with our own communities. Three men of color with no censor and no objectives but truth, justice and common sense. Each episode will deal with hot-button issues with honesty, straight talk, and humor whenever possible . No personality is untouchable, and no one is spared the venom, or the praise whenever fit.
The format fo the show is simple five topics a week with 5 minutes devoted to each topic, and a close by each individual member featuring a verbal shot of their own choosing. Today’s episode features the following tops:
Was C. Delores Tucker right about rap music destroying our communities? Sidebar – Why do we let Rap music denigrate our iconic Black Leaders?
What Is a coon to you? How are people of color being programmed to become coons and justify coon behavior?
The black athlete? What is his role and has someone iconic like Michael Jordan done more bad than good for our communities?
The lack of media coverage on the occupation of Wall Street until some minor altercations take place.
