“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.

This episode, we take a look at the aftermath of the Mary J. Blige BK chicken wrap fiasco. Was she cooning? Are Black people being too sensitive? Is Mary J too big to sing for supper? As a community that tolerates white people calling us niggers and loves Basketball Wives,don’t we have bigger fish to fry?

From there, we check the Kony 2012 remix, this time with more Black faces. Is it too little, too late? Do we actually care? After the groups leader was caught getting his Pee-Wee Herman on, do they even have the moral ground?

As a group, we ponder who actually does have the best fried chicken on the block. All this, our parting shots, the ipoppedoff sidebar and a Rest In Peace to the legendary Gil Kane on the Firing Squad.
