Continued Injustice In 2015, the city of New York reached a $5.9 million settlement with the family of Eric Garner for his wrongful death case against NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo. However, on July 17, 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice declined to bring charges against NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, who placed 43-year-old Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold on a street corner on July 17, 2014 (five years to the day of this decision). Although the altercation and death of Garner was captured on video, and ruled a homicide by an independent professional, the officer responsible remains unjailed and gainfully employed.

Challenging the Mental Health Stigma in the Black Community The stigma of mental health isn’t anything new to the black community—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reportedly had severe depression during periods of his life and refused psychiatric treatment. Unfortunately, that scenario continues to be a common one today, with African Americans not seeking mental health care because of stigma. The root of mental health stigma among blacks can be traced back to slavery, when it was commonly thought that slaves were not sophisticated enough to develop depression, anxiety, or other mental health disorders. Bred from those historic misconceptions, we learned to ignore mental illness or call it other terms, like “stress” and “being tired.” These nuanced descriptions for depression and other mental illnesses that the black community has adopted and passed on from generation to generation leads to underestimating the effects and impact of mental health conditions and beliefs that a psychiatric disorder is a personal weakness. All these factors have created a culture that is fearful and uninformed about mental illness. Available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/yfVSvqgSTcg |

WE THE PEOPLE Throughout our younger years we are sold on the notion that this country was built by immigrants - those who fled Europe, Central America, South America and other countries to escape religious or political persecution… to forge new lives under a philosophy of inclusion, separation of church and state and democracy. This country was literally built upon the backs of immigrants and forced slave labor - whose blood, sweat, tears and lives are the brick and mortar of the country. Yet today, we are living under an existential threat to democracy, freedom and our very soul. This country willfully stands by and allows those seeking asylum to die of malnutrition, lack of medical or even basic care.... we stand by and watch children die on our borders ... and do nothing. On a daily basis, we see American citizens, legal immigrants and those seeking asylum being abused, their rights and protections granted to them under the constitution and various rules of law, being purposefully ignored and infringed upon. In addition to the atrocities of immigration policies, woman are being “put in our place” with a movement toward more restrictive legislation related to abortion rights, and protections given to rapists and pedophiles. Pedophiles and rapists have infiltrated all branches of government including the executive office. At what point do we say enough is enough? At what point do we fight for the liberties and rights men and women and children? At what point do WE THE PEOPLE fight back and reclaim our country and our birthright of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/t5Rg_a07gIA |

The Truth Be Told - RWN-TV’s Take on the Mueller investigation Robert Mueller’s final 448-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 election—and Donald Trump’s apparent attempts to obstruct justice along the way, has landed in the hands of Attorney General, William Barr, but remains closed to Congress and the American people. New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat said the report is “a more rigorous, capacious version” of Michael Wolff’s bestseller Fire and Fury. Its two volumes paint a picture of Donald Trump as deeply narcissistic and incompetent, alternately conned and ignored by everyone around him. Although the contents have not been fully disclosed, the RWN-TV team will give you their take on what is known so far, as well as addressing the question as to why the Democrats are indecisive on a decision to move forward with impeachment proceedings.

In Church we Trust - or should we? – Pt. 2 Last week the RWN-TV team opened a very honest and transparent discussion regarding today’s Black churches, and examined the responsibility is does or should have to the community in which it operates. Over the course of thirty years, Black churches, have collected more than $420 billion (equaling $14 billion per year, for nearly thirty years) in tithes and donations. Some feel the numbers reflect what it takes to operate these houses of worship, where others believe the money is a result of greed on the part of the operating ministers and pastors. On this episode of RWN-TV, the discussion continues… What are today’s black churches doing for the community? Available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/dRNVbZhRGBI |

In Church we Trust - or should We? According to LiveSteez research Black churches, have collected more than $420 billion (equalling $14 billion per year, for nearly thirty years) in tithes and donations since 1980. With a Senate investigation into the finances of several mega churches underway, the “Prosperity Movement” has been the target of mounting criticism from inside and outside the Black Church. For some time now, mainstream politicians and Black community leaders have been demanding a better accounting of the “return on investment” offered by churches to the communities that fund them. However, churchgoers defend their pastors and accuse their detractors of applying a double standard that ignores the wealthy, white televangelists, while underplaying the economic development and social service functions provided by the Black Church. On average, you will find a number of blacks today who feel that the church has gotten caught up in materialism and greed, or depending of the number of congregants, feel that the pastor is living the life of celebrity, while the community surrounding the church is suffering and falling apart. Have today’s black churches become out of touch with the community? Has the black church become more and more self serving? Can people in the community genuinely rely on the church when in need? And finally, does the black church ingrain itself in the assistance of resolving some of the problems in the very neighborhood in which it is standing?

The Mueller Report: Obstruction of the Truth Since May 2017, special counsel, Robert Mueller and his team of investigators focused on how Russian operatives sought to sway the outcome of the 2016 presidential race and whether anyone tied to the Trump campaign cooperated with them. After nearly two years, that investigation came to a close, and the report was handed off to Attorney General William P. Barr. Throughout the investigation, the American people have been on the edge of their seats, waiting for the shoe to drop on Donald Trump and his administration. However, AG William Barr chose to hold the report, make an initial statement that Trump held no responsibility (did not collude) with Russian interference. But, how do we, the people know it this is true? How will we ever know the truth if Barr will only release portions of that report (with HIS REDACTION) to congress and the people. Is William Barr protecting Trump, as we thought he would when he was confirmed? What do we have to look forward to with the remainder of Trump’s presidency?
