The Truth. The Whole Truth. Nothing But the Truth

Last updated on: August 1, 2015 at 3:24 pm By Guest Contributor

First Posted at TenSpeaks I had a white male mentor once early in my career. For reasons unknown to me then, but which are much clearer to me 20 plus years later, he took a liking to me and voluntarily took me “under his wings”. He helped me a lot and I appreciated it. But I also helped him a lot, although I didn’t realize it at the time. I guess his mentoring was his way of showing me that... Read more

R3 Contributor: Traci Ellis

Last updated on: July 30, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Andre E. Johnson

As an attorney and workplace diversity expert, Attorney Ellis’ career has been an exciting mix of law firm, in-house, government, self-employment and currently, academia. But regardless of the professional title, her passion…both professionally and personally…has always been the pursuit of a world free from discrimination and harassment based on race, sex, national origin, color and all the other ways in which we diminish each other. As a professional speaker and “agitator”, she engages and provokes audiences to think more deeply... Read more

Where Are the Good Cops When We Need Them?

Last updated on: July 30, 2015 at 8:38 pm By Andre E. Johnson

University of Cincinnati Police officer Ray Tensing shot and killed an unarmed black man Samuel DuBose. At the time of this writing, prosecutor Joe Deters indicted him on murder charges and his bail has been set at one million dollars. I believe it is safe to say that Ray Tensing would not have been indicted with a million dollar bail had it not been camera footage of the incident—camera footage that by the way, came from Officer Tensing’s own...

Sandra Bland and Cell 95

Last updated on: July 29, 2015 at 5:10 pm By Guest Contributor

Here’s the truth. Whether Sister Sandra Bland’s death came by way of self asphyxiation, or was murdered by racist cop(s), is irrelevant to the overarching theme of her mysterious death. Media and white supremacy has done a marvelous job, yet again, at distracting us from the main focus in that being police brutality. If one has any sort of social lucidity, then you know all to well how this saga plays out. They portray the Black victim as the antagonist,... Read more

Progressive Christianity and the #BlackLivesMatter Movement

Last updated on: July 31, 2015 at 6:18 pm By Andre E. Johnson

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on the Future of Progressive Christianity in America. Read other perspectives beginning this evening here. In May of 2015, the Pew Research Center on Religion and Public Life surprised both conservatives and progressives with its findings in their “America’s Changing Landscape” report. In it, many discovered that “the Christian share of the U.S. population is declining, while the number of U.S. adults who do not identify with any organized... Read more
