Addressing Death in Law Enforcement Custody with Dr. Roger Mitchell & Dr. Jay Aronson

Addressing Death in Law Enforcement Custody with Dr. Roger Mitchell & Dr. Jay Aronson

On this episode of The Black Futurist podcast, host Bryndan D. Moore is joined by two remarkable individuals who are shedding light on a grave societal matter that demands our attention: Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr. and Dr. Jay Aronson.


The pair are focused on quantifying and minimizing deaths that occur within the US criminal legal system—a haunting public health emergency that often remains hidden from public scrutiny. As the authors of the groundbreaking book "Death in Custody: How America Ignores the Truth and What We Can Do about It," and the hosts of the companion podcast "Official Ignorance," (produced by Bryndan D. Moore for Hip Hop Caucus) Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Aronson bring invaluable insights and storytelling to the forefront.


Dr. Mitchell, a prominent professor and chair of pathology at the Howard University College of Medicine, along with his extensive experience as a forensic pathologist and former Chief Medical Examiner of Washington, DC, shares his expertise on the profound issue of deaths in custody. Dr. Aronson, founder and director of the Center for Human Rights Science at Carnegie Mellon University, and an esteemed professor in the Department of History, contributes his deep understanding of the complex dynamics between science, law, and social justice.


The problem, as discussed in this episode, is staggering: a dire lack of reliable data surrounding deaths that occur during interactions with the criminal legal system, whether in police encounters, during transportation, or within detention facilities. The intentional disregard of this issue by the very institutions tasked with oversight magnifies the urgency for change.


Join us as Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Aronson passionately articulate their motivations behind their powerful collaborative project, detailing their practical and attainable solutions for accurate data collection and comprehensive investigation into these tragic incidents. Their compelling insights pave the way for a transformed future—one where transparency, accountability, and human rights take center stage.


Stay tuned for the launch of "Official Ignorance" in September 2023, and remember that their book, "Death in Custody," is available now wherever books are sold.

The most educated, nuanced and nerded out conversation ever about Kindred S1, E1-2

The most educated, nuanced and nerded out conversation ever about Kindred S1, E1-2

The queen of science fiction, Octavia Butler's book Kindred, originally published in 1979 has been adapted for television and told in modern time.

The technology has changed.  We as people have socially changed.  The story stands on it's own, atop the masterfully written original material due to what is really smart screenwriting.

In this episode of The Black Futurist podcast, our hosts and guest include Lavell Flamon, Chef Brent Hughes, Dr. Maurice E. Dolberry, and Bryndan D. Moore.  We discuss the challenges and benefits of watching the story, real world implications, and tell you why you should be writing FX and Hulu to demand they complete the story by requesting a second season (the show was not renewed.)

So if you're up for a fun but totally sci-fi + culture conversation about this show, realize first this if FULL of spoilers, and press play.

We'd love to hear from you.

ChatGPT: The Hazards and Benefits of Using AI Writing Tools

ChatGPT: The Hazards and Benefits of Using AI Writing Tools

In this episode of The Black Futurist, host Bryndan D. Moore and co-host Dr. Maurice Dolberry are joined by guests Lavell Flamon and Chef Brent Hughes to discuss the hazards and benefits of using AI writing tools like ChatGPT.

There are several potential hazards in academic applications of using AI writing tools. Some of these include:

  1. Bias: AI writing tools can perpetuate biases that are present in the data they are trained on. For example, if an AI writing tool is trained on a dataset that contains sexist language or biased viewpoints, it may produce output that reflects these biases.
  2. Lack of critical thinking: If students or researchers rely too heavily on AI writing tools, they may not develop critical thinking skills or the ability to analyze and evaluate information.
  3. Plagiarism: There is a risk that students or researchers may use AI writing tools to generate content that is not their own, leading to accusations of plagiarism.

Chef Brent Hughes, offers a more positive perspective, sharing his experience using AI writing tools to create unique and innovative recipes. He believes that these tools can be a valuable aid for writers, artists, and other creatives, providing inspiration and streamlining the creative process.

Overall, the guests agree that AI writing tools have the potential to be both a hazard and a benefit, and it's important to approach them with caution and an understanding of their limitations. They encourage writers and creators to be mindful of the ethical implications of using these tools and to consider the impact of their work on society.

In 2019, Ron started an OTT streaming media company called Streamwaze. His self-published autobiography book, Where I’m From, was also released within the same year.

Ron is a cancer survivor and continues to spread the word of encouragement and inspiration to all who have been affected by this global pandemic.

This is not yet another reactionary cry for help in the wake of America's most recent tragic and incredibly sad mass shooting.  Instead, in this conversation I've invited two incredibly accomplished and highly educated professionals to the table to discuss my thoughts for an idea I have to mitigate mass shootings going forward.


Take a listen and let me know what you think of my approach.  Leave feedback and definitely join us in community for these conversations on SEVEN.community


As I share in the episode, I am a gun owner.  An aside on Black gun ownership, my grandparents left the South during the great migration seeking better opportunities and education for their children in NJ.  That move didn't come without its threats and challenges.  As a result, there was the NEED to keep arms in the home.

Blockchain Solutions to Bias in Testing w Dr. Damon Bryant

Blockchain Solutions to Bias in Testing w Dr. Damon Bryant

Dismantling racism doesn't happen by simply one self-diagnosing as being "not racist," it requires actively engaging in dismantling systems and processes that are inherently biased according to race, socio-economic status, zip-code etc.   As an example, it's not enough to say "I do not promote the keeping of trash in the full, kitchen trash can," we have to move onto the action steps starting with taking out the trash.  Then we can start to implement systems that prevent the filling of the trash can and signaling to draw attention when needed. I take you around that allegory to explain the premise behind the work Dr. Damon Bryant is advocating.  In order to join the NFL, the NBA, get into graduate  school, or compete for a job, testing is required.  Rightfully so, correct?  If you or your organization needed to fill its ranks with the appropriate type of talent you would need ways to evaluate applicants, I get it. What Dr. Bryant has shown is that the test that many organizations employ are flawed, biased, lack transparency, and in many cases don't actually test for their intended variables.  Simply put, old systems that we have failed to tear down are impacting the trajectory of our families, generation after generation. The good news is that Dr. Brant and his team are confident that employing blockchain technology they can change the game. 

Take a listen.

Sometimes Violence is Required w Dr. Rhadi Ferguson

Sometimes Violence is Required w Dr. Rhadi Ferguson

Rhadi Ferguson gave me a 7 minute warning to jump on a vide call to discuss the "Mike Tyson on a plane" episode. 

Obviously we disagree.

-

Dr. Rhadi Ferguson, 4x National Judo Champion and Judo Olympian, understands and maybe believes Mike Tyson did exactly the right thing on that flight.

What do you think?

Critical Race Theory has been thrust into the National discourse recently, as Florida Governor Rick Desantis lead the political charge of Republican lead states to outlaw its teaching in schools.

Valuable Lessons we can Learn from Neighboring Communities w/ Alfonso Wright

Valuable Lessons we can Learn from Neighboring Communities w/ Alfonso Wright

Alfonso (nickname: Tito) is an author, a computer geek, and is an owner of the incredible tea room and loose leaf tea brand Brooklyn Tea.  He has lived in diverse communities including Washington, DC, Buckhead, Atlanta, and various parts of Brooklyn, all which have informed his sense of community, and give him a perspective into how he would like to shape his community for the future. 

Growing up, everyone in Alfonso Wright’s West Indian household had a job to do; his was serving tea to his mother. After graduating from Hampton University and working in various roles along side his mentor, Bryndan Moore, Wright found himself hearing the call of the tea business. He secured a job at a Manhattan tea shop and learning the business side while simultaneously studying to be a tea sommelier. In 2017, he used his digital prowess to launch an online tea store with now fiancée, Jamila McGill. A year later, the pair opened a brick-and-mortar shop that gave an immersive experience serving 60 tea varieties, delicious pastries and tranquil, communal vibes in Bed-Stuy.

Today Brooklyn Tea curates nearly 100 varieties of tea, ranging from South African rooibos tea with Belgian chocolate pieces to Pu-erh grown in the mountains of China to herbs cultivated in Washington State. As a result of Wright’s training and passion, the teas on their menu are never spared the story of their origins and are described in a manner akin to wine tasting notes.

Your Man O'Shea - Ice Cube, his CWBA, and public response

Your Man O'Shea - Ice Cube, his CWBA, and public response

This conversation started on SEVEN.community and lead to us inviting Dwayne Meekins to the podcast.

Host: Bryndan Moore

Co Host: Dr. Maurice Dolberry

Guest: Dwayne Meekins

Dwayne's original response to the discussion on SEVEN...

"For real?! Ironically, he’s terribly tone deaf to have been in the music industry his whole life. He’s fallen for the banana in the tail pipe bit that there is no difference between the parties. Were he attempting to have this conversation 25 years ago, he might be on to something. What he’s saying makes sense ... in 1996. Running this out now is dangerous and reckless, especially with his voice and platform.

One party actually believes in democracy. The other doesn’t. Two of our last 5 presidential elections were won by the party that LOST the popular vote. Those presidents, W and the current occupant of the WH, will have seated 5 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices assuming this Barrett confirmation goes through. That matters.

The members of that party in Congress represent something like 38 million FEWER people than the Congressional members of the party who actually won the popular vote in those elections. So what we have now is called “Minority Rule”. That party has basically gutted the Voting rights act because they know their base is dwindling and the fewer folks who vote, the better things are for them. They are stacking the courts so when their minority rule is challenged, they can take you to court and they’ll WIN. It won’t matter if you’re right.

Our kids and grandkids are going to end up fighting some of the same battles our grandparents fought. That’s a failure on our part. We’re supposed to move the ball forward. Major regressions have happened on our watch due to the actions of one party and we want to play the false equivalency card? One party wants to take us backwards. Back to Leave it to Beaver times when things were great ... for straight white men. I can have a real conversation with somebody who’s ok with me being in the room. I can’t have an honest convo with somebody who wants to go back to when we couldn’t even have lunch together. Cats thinking like Cube are the reason we’re in this mess now because they didn’t vote last time or they let their misogyny get the best of them and didn’t vote for the person who is probably the most qualified person ever to run for President in this country. Don’t need Cube’s partially informed and poorly timed viewpoint right now. He can have that conversation when shit is normal. That’s likely why folks are mad at Cube.

We no longer live in a functional democracy. Do you realize that? Mofos legit straight ignorin subpoenas from CONGRESS! The Pres incites political violence. You remember anybody seriously planning to kidnap a Governor before? Recall maybe. Kidnap? Nah. That’s what you get when the big guy says “Liberate your states!” The Justice Dept is acting as this cats personal law firm! NONE of this shit is normal. None of it! And Cube wants to have a discussion like we’re living in normal times. We aren’t. WE ARE NOT! Fuck that.

Nah Be. Cube is wrong. If you know his people, I’ll tell him and explain why he’s wrong. He needs to understand what he’s dealing with and it doesn’t sound like he does. The guy in the WH is literally the founder’s worst nightmare and folks like Cube are going to help get him re-elected.

This democracy will not survive another 4 years of this guy. He’s done a tremendous amount of damage already discrediting the FBI and our entire Intelligence community. Compromising the Justice Dept, casting doubt on the validity of elections, etc. I have serious concerns about how long it will take us to recover if he loses, but we’ll be a failed state if he wins."
