“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 who 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 week we look at crooks foisting fake iPods on the people for the holidays.
We look at the Lakers firing Mike Brown and getting not Phil Jackson but Mike D’Antoni. How do Lakers fans feel about that? Was it the right move? Is the Knicks’ hot start a mirage or the real deal?
Mitt Romney says Obama won because he gave people of color gifts. After a gracious concession speech, uncle Mitt returned to his crab ways and just can’t accept a loss. Does this further damage the Republican brand? Why can’t the party recognize the damage that their ostracizing tactics have hampered their ability to connect. Do they really just believe that anyone who isn’t white and male is inferior?
Is Cornell West a tool for the man?
Meek Mill running away from a battle with Cassidy because he’s got “too much money” is just a crab ass sucker move. The Firing Squad examines. Is the Maybach movement under pressure? We hip you to why that move is so far away from what Hip-Hop is about.
Finally, does Popeyes chicken have the hood on lock? Is Robert Dinero a 4th level OG for sonning the Jiggaman in front of people?
