Race In College Admissions & Domestic Violence

And join our discussions on...

The Role Of Race In College Admissions:

Should Race Be A Factor?

In 2008, a white student sued the University of Texas for denying her admission and argued that she was rejected because of the school's race-conscious admission policies which uses race as a factor to expand diversity.   We'll talk about this case, which could lead to new limits on affirmative action, and ask if it should be used in college admissions. Featuring: 

 the Chair of the National Black Law Students Association Kendra Brown

The War On Drugs & Latino Republicans

Tune into Let Your Voice Be Heard! Radio Sunday, October 7 at 11AM

And join our discussions on...

The War On Drugs:

Is This Battle Hurting Us More Than It's Helping?

Over the last 40 years, America's declared "war on drugs" has cost $1 trillion, yet the number of drug users continue to rise, kids experiment with drugs at younger ages and an overwhelming amount of African American men are disproportionately arrested for nonviolent drug charges.  Is the "war on drugs" helping society or is it contributing to the destruction of communities of color and misconceptions about drug users? Featuring: 

Dr. Carl Hart of Columbia University

Part 2 of Exploring A Political Paradox:
Latinos Who Back The GOP Platform

 For many of us, it may be hard to imagine why some Latinos support the Republican Party which stands behind laws that promote racial profiling in Latino communities, a leader that promotes "self-deportation" for immigrants and has filibustered the DREAM Act which would end the deportation of young immigrants that meet certain criteria.  Yet, in still, some conservative Latinos are fighting for the GOP. We'll find out why Latino conservatives favor the party that does not seem to support immigrant rights. Featuring:

Ruben Estrada, Chairman of the Latino National Republican Coalition of NY

Tune into Let Your Voice Be Heard! Radio Sunday, September 30 at 11AM

And join our discussions on...

Part 1 of Exploring A Political Paradox:
Gay Conservatives Who Support The GOP

 Despite the fact that the Republican party seeks to nationalize a ban on same-sex marriage, reissue “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and supports anti-gay organizations like the Boy Scouts, there are a number of openly gay conservatives who back the GOP.  We'll find out why Gay conservatives favor the party that does not support their lifestyles or rights.

Gay Republican activist Jimmy LaSalvia, the founder of GOProud

Street Harassment:

What's The Big Deal?

Over 80% of women have or will experience street harassment across the global.  It's an epidemic that young girls are taught to expect and that society ignores.  But when is enough, enough and where should it stop: at public masturbation, physical contact, verbal assaults?  Or do women actually like it? We'll talk to

Holly Kearl, 
A published author/speaker and the founder of 
StopStreetHarrassment.org

Are The 47% Entitled? & Is Censorship Ever Justified?

Tune into Let Your Voice Be Heard! Radio Sunday, September 23 at 11AM

And join our discussions on...

The "47 Percent:" Are We Entitled?

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was recently caught referring to 47 percent of Americans as government dependent moochers who don't pay taxes and feel "entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing." How true is that statement? How do you define entitlement and are we indeed "entitled?" We'll talk about this and more featuring:
Tom Murphy, writer for the Huffington Post and 
founder/writer of the blog 'A View From the Cave'

Free Speech vs. Censorship:
Is Censorship Ever Justified?

In light of the  anti-Islamic film that have sparked ongoing Muslim protests and the murders of US diplomats in the Middle East, we will examine the role that free speech or hate speech played in inciting these uproars. We'll also question if there is ever a justification for censorship--even if it means protecting people's lives. Featuring:

the NYCLU's Suffolk County Chapter Director Amol Sinha 

and 

Imam Al-Amin Abdul-Latif, a local Muslim leader and the 

President of the Islamic Leadership Council of NY

This week on the "Quickie" we'll explain

Attorney General Eric Holder's Charge of being Held In Contempt of Congress

Attorney General Eric Holder was found not guilty on charges that he knew about the government's controversial gun-trafficking operation known as "Fast and Furious" and the effort to trace the flow of guns to Mexico's drug cartels before 2011.  Find out why he was held in contempt of Congress, what could have happened and if the verdict is fair.

And, of course, we'll share the quirky, funny and moving news headlines that we found throughout the week during the

White Privilege In 2012: 
Is It Still An Issue In The Obama Era? 

White privilege is often a touchy topic that is rarely discussed and tends to make people uncomfortable.  On LYVBH, we will conduct an open and honest conversation about it, its role in 2012 and why some experts say it's a systemic ill that places the social, cultural and economic experiences of whites as the "norm" at the expense of others.

After Artest: Race and the War on Hoop

Last week at the Democratic National Convention, we heard riveting speeches from Democratic heavyweights like Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton and dozen of celebrities like Kerry Washington showed support for Obama's re-election campaign.  President Obama also made his appeal to the American people about why  he deserves four more years in office.  We'll talk about the best moments from the DNC and how much, if any, impact it had on voters featuring:
Obama Delegate & Community Organizer Brian Benjamin
