Activist Carolyn Ruff from Chicago joined us May 13 to talk about an incident that became a viral video: An Asian carryout owner stalked a young Black man demanding a tip after the customer paid for his food and left. The shop owner acted in a very aggressive and threatening manner.
Sister Carolyn is leading an effort to shutdown the joint, which is in Evanston, Ill,. a stone's throw from Chicago. Hear her explain who she outside the store several days a week and why she says the shop, Table to Stix Ramen and owner Kenny Chou, must go. Chou, who has apologized, threatened to slap the s**t out of the young man.
We also spent a little time talking a few things and heard from callers who shared thoughts on Black family survival, why an Israeli "hostage" held in is hardly ever called a soldier (which is what he was.. So why was he called a hostage instead of a P.O.W., Prisoner of War? Listen to that opening chat before Sister Carolyn comes on and shares major information.
In our last hour, the hosts really chop things up with news, issues and analysis. That segment is here on Spotify.
