SNL Shocker: Michael Che Roasts Biden's Struggles with Black Voters to Audience Surprise!

🎭Saturday Night Live's Michael Che caused a stir when he mocked President Joe Biden's connection to Black voters during the show's Weekend Update segment.

Why is Black radio giving a platform to Candace Owens and her anti-Black views?

🎙️ Conservative personality Candace Owens, known for her provocative and anti-Black views, has recently been featured on prominent Black media outlets like The Joe Budden Podcast and The Breakfast Club. Although some may argue that inviting Owens on these shows is an attempt to present both sides of the political spectrum or to expose and counter the white supremacist ideas behind her arguments, these conversations rarely lead to meaningful discussion or change.

🔥 Black media outlets were historically targeted and destroyed by white mobs, who wanted to silence and erase Black voices and narratives. These outlets 🏢 today are built by the Black community, and therefore should prioritize the safety and protection of their stories. Rather than amplifying the voices of individuals like Owens who seek to exploit and further anti-Black narratives, Black media should be focused on countering bigotry and discrimination and uplifting the narratives and experiences of the Black community. 🙌
