Karmelo Anthony Update

Andrew Gillum Update

Dems, the Bill is Due

Black voters have delivered the Democratic Party victory after victory. In return, Democrats have failed to advance and protect the interests of the Black community. It’s time for a hard conversation. 

 

Our guest today is Ashley Etienne and the topic is her recent op-ed article titled, “The Party We Built, The Bill Has Come Due.”

 

The episode starts with an update on Karmelo Anthony’s trial and NLP host Andrew Gillum’s recent arrest.

18-year-old Nolan Wells was found dead after going missing while boating off the coast of Mississippi with a group of all-white friends. Nolan is Black, mixed race. 

 

In a county that is 66% white, 19% Black, the white sheriff was quick to close the investigation into Nolan’s death and say there was no wrongdoing. The mother of one of the boys involved is a local judge, and she was quick to get on social media and echo the sheriff’s statement.

 

We’re not saying there was foul play. We are saying that the rush to claim ‘no foul play’ breeds mistrust in a racially sensitive case. 

 

Our hearts go out to the Wells family in their quest for answers.

Addressing Andrewâs Arrest 

Loved Ones with Addiction

CTAs

Native Land Pod is without one of our hosts for this episode. We ask for your prayers and support for Andrew Gillum, who was arrested in Daphne, Alabama last week. 

 

Andrew was charged with marijuana possession and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. One of the officers said they saw a glass pipe in the center console, prompting a search of his vehicle. 

 

In this episode, our hosts respond to the press coverage of Andrew’s arrest, process hard feelings, and reflect on how best to support loved ones struggling with addiction. 





Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 139 of Native Land Pod.
