The Centennial Episode “Daylight Come And We Wanna Go Home” | EPISODE 100 Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

On the Amanda Seales Show podcast, several topics were discussed in the recent episode. One of the topics was about the Alabama education director who was fired over a "Woke" book. The book in question was "Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You" by Ibram x. Kendi and Jason Reynolds, which discusses the history of racism in the United States. The education director was fired for allegedly promoting critical race theory, which has been a controversial topic in recent years.
Another topic discussed on the podcast was about the revelation that the rapper “Pras" of Fugees fame was actually an FBI informant. This news has caused quite a stir in the hip-hop community, as many people are questioning the ethics of using informants in criminal investigations.
The podcast also touched on the controversy surrounding rapper Rick Ross, who was criticized for dissing CNN anchor Don Lemon in an online viral video. Many people felt that Ross was being disrespectful towards Lemon by offering him a job at wing stop to make “lemon” peppered wings.
Finally, the podcast acknowledged the passing of legendary musician and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte. Belafonte was a pioneer in the music industry and used his platform to fight for social justice and equality.
