Ep 269 | How Aqib Talib’s Persona Led to Mike Hickmon’s Death
The path that led to Aqib Talib’s involvement in the death of a youth football coach was set long ago. It's a path he chose. Talib embraced a dangerous persona to present to the world. It was a reputation he needed to live up to, on and off the field. “Aqib Talib spent the better part of two decades projecting an identity and image of himself as a football-playing thug. He wanted everyone he came in contact with to know he was 'about that life.'” Jason says this identity, influenced by pop culture and hip hop music, is killing black men. “Popular culture celebrates the bad guy. From Tony Soprano to Jay Z, the American zeitgeist rewards the unrepentant criminal.” "Fearless" soldier T.J. Moe joins Jason to discuss how the identity you adopt impacts your life. Virgil Walker stops in to discuss authenticity in the black community. Royce White shares his thoughts on the cultural influences that shape the black community and asks for Ice Cube to get the respect he deserves. Wednesdays mean Tennessee Harmony. Pastors Anthony Walker and Bobby Harrington join Jason and T.J. to discuss why society rewards the wicked.
