Mr. Porter will be on our show live tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Pacific. During our interview, Mr. Porter will be discussing the condition of black boys in the United States as a result of the images promulgated through hip hop culture for the past three decades. The negative behaviors and outlook as a result of continually being billed as hustlers, ganagsters, and thugs is having an exacting toll. The wholesale march to jail and the cemetery must end now. Our boys are being annihilated right before our eyes; worse, they are the biggest perpetrators of crimes against one another. Further, they are the poorest performing students in school among all sub-groups. We must accept the truth if we are to address these issues. He will also talk about his latest book, “More Like Barack, Less Like Tupac: Eradicating the Achievement Gap by Countering Decades of the Hip Hop Hoax.”
