Six days ago Colin Kaepernick's attorney's announced that Kaepernick and Eric Reid had reached an agreement with the NFL to dismiss their grievance and lawsuit that claims collusion amongst the owners and league personal to keep the two from being employed by a team. As part of the agreement, no details will be given on what the actual settlement is. Thats let supporters on each side wonders if their side won. Was this a victory for Kaep? For the NFL? Was this the wrong move for the cause? And why, after two years, are the facts surrounding Kaepernick's employment, and lack there of, still so often wrong. This weeks episode takes a look at the defying moment for Colin Kaepernick and a moment in NFL history they'll attempt to quickly erase.

A special early holiday edition of Be Conscious. Camara Williams, an attorney in Florida, and guest columnist for the Orlando Sentinel, joins me to discuss the mid-terms in Florida, why Andrew Gillum lost and how big of a factor race was in the campaigns. We discuss the parallels between what happened in Florida, what happened in Georgia, and which one of these states got away with stealing the election.

Camara Williams - An Opportunity Stolen

On this weeks edition of Be Conscious, Damien Barling speaks with author and historian Richard Rothstein about his book The Color of Law. Mr Rothstein has researched the history of segregation with regards to housing and education. Theres many layers to this conversation, just as there to his book. The two discuss how segregated most major cities in the United States are right now and how “de-facto segregation” isn’t real and has been used as way to explain away laws and policies that have been in effect for a hundred years. The two also discuss the Reconstruction Era and how the effect of racial charged police polices shutdown that era and set in motion what we still see today. The Color of Law is a phenomenal book

Richard Rothstein - Color Of Law

What is The Player's Coalition? What set off the pregame confrontation between Malcolm Jenkins and Eric Reid? Is Eric Reids assessment correct… Did Malcolm Jenkins sellout him and Colin Kaepernick? In this episode of Be Conscious, Damien Barling gives a detailed history as to what the Player’s Coalition is, how it started, and what it is today? The strange culture of the Player’s Coalition is also discussed as we don’t know exactly who is in it because so many don’t want to be acknowledge as members. Most importantly, Damien tries to layout where that $89 million promise from the owners went, what it means today, and will it continue in the future. This episode concludes with Damiens thoughts on Malcolm Jenkins, his behavior regarding athlete activism, and whether or not he’s a sellout. Malcolm is the perfect counter to Colin Kaepernick in the eyes of the league owners. Damien explains why and so much more on this episode of Be Conscious.

Is Malcolm Jenkins a Sellout

The show opens with Damien Barling sharing his thoughts on meeting Tommie Smith, John Carlos, and Dr Harry Edwards at an Athlete and Activism panel at San Jose St and shares the details of his conversation with Dr Edwards and what he had to say about the NFL’s Players Coalition.

We wrap up our week long look at sports and politics in the 60’s with New York Daily News columnist Carron J Phillips. Back for his second visit, Carron and Damien discuss the impact of Muhammad Ali, his refusal to join the US Army and how that influenced athletes then, and how that moment influences athletes now. The two also discuss Smith, Carlos and how George Foreman was believed to be some sort of counter to their protest at the 1968 games. Also discussed is who would the modern day George Foreman be, and who in the sports world today fits “I’m not black, I’m OJ” Simpson.

Carron J Phillips - Dak Prescott Is George Foreman

October 16, 1968 marked one of the most historic and iconic events in sports history. After an epic 200 meter race, Tommie Smith took his place on top of the Olympic medal stand, followed by Peter Norman of Australia, and teammate John Carlos. With no shoes on their feet, beads around their neck, and black gloves on their hands, Smith and Carlos turned to the flag and raised a fist to the sky. The narrative of what took place in that moment has taken on a life of its own over the last 50 years. David Steele of the Sporting News worked with Tommie Smith on his autobiography Silent Gesture and has in depth knowledge of Tommie’s thinking in that moment on the victory stand and in the years, and decades to follow. In this conversation, Damien Barling and David discuss the climate of America in 1968 and what made that moment on the podium so memorable and impactful. The two also discuss Tommie’s relationship with John Carlos, Dr Harry Edwards, the tone of the book, and his feelings about Colin Kaepernick and athletes who use their platforms for various forms of activism.

Background of History

There’s a lot to cover in this weeks edition of Be Conscious. Damien Barling the conversation by applauding the Carolina Panthers and the signing of Eric Reid. You’ll hear Eric Reid’s comments about why signing with an NFL team won’t silence his voice that he uses to speak against racial inequality. Next, the focal point of the episode centers on Kanye West, with the backing of Donald Trump, “leading the charge” leading the charge as the black face of MAGA. You’ll hear Kanye’s remarks about slavery and the 13th amendment and Damien will attempt to decipher what he was talking about, what he may have meant, and the dangerous ground he’s walking on with the GOP. Also discussed is the hypocritical remarks of Donald Trump, calling for due process when sexual assault allegations are levied on him or his friends, while simultaneously ignoring his repeated call for the death penalty for 5 black teenagers who served jail time for a crime they were later completely exonerated of.

The College Dropout

On the night of Sept 6, 2018, Botham Jean was sitting in his apartment in Dallas when an off duty police office, Amber Guyger, opened his door, fired her weapon, and killed him. The story of what happened that night has been told, changed, retold, then changed again. In addition to the changing story we’ve also seen an attempted smear campaign by Fox and its affiliates. We’ve heard of noise complaints, shouting, and have learned the physics behind the doors in that apartment complex. What’s real and what’s not? In this episode of Be Conscious, Damien Barling attempts to separate fact from fiction while discussing the role that “blue” played in this case of black and white.
