Are comedians going too far these days? Some comedians say the audience has become too sensitive. Some of the folks in the crowd think comics are taking the easy road by punching down. Both sides may have points, but it is as black and white as social media talk makes it out to be. We sit with comedy veteran, Clint Coley, to talk about the comedy game of yesteryear and where it stands today.

There have been plenty of stories told and written about us. Some of those stories have cast us into darkness, while others have carried us to freedom. Stories have the power to shape perception.

In this episode of Tripp After Dark, authors Tyiesha Radford Shorts stop by to discuss the power of writing and owning your own narrative.

Often, American history is taught through stories of tragedy and heroism. The same could be said for the history of Africans in the United States. Our history is usually reduced to a few political heroes and their tragic endings. This style of storytelling often erases local movements and the conditions that created them. It erases the mentors, followers, and meetings. This hinders us from critically analyzing the past and instead leaves us with nostalgia. That nostalgia leaves us longing for a past that never existed as it was taught. It produces the thought that we NEED another Malcolm or Martin. Tonight, we recontextualize Martin, Malcolm, and the movements that made them.
