From 1914 – 1918, Adolf Hitler was an amazing award-winning soldier in the German military. Later, as President, he developed one of the most effective anti-smoking campaigns in the world. Under his rule, Germany revolutionized the jet engine. But you know, and I know, that those facts don’t mean a damn thing. He was a […]
Jaylon Sewell is a good kid. Just 16 years old, he’s an active leader in his local church, a good student, and manager for the football team at Neville High School in Monroe, Louisiana. Suddenly, he’s found himself in a deeply unfamiliar place after deciding to live a little and dye the top of his […]

As you may have heard, yesterday Donald Trump signed the second version of his Muslim Ban after repeatedly having his first version smashed in court after court. This updated version isn’t much different than the first one in that it continues to target immigrants and refugees from countries whose people have done nothing to harm […]
This is what happens when you ignore Coretta Scott King. Last night, after most nightly news shows had already aired, after a good portion of the country had already gone to bed, something deeply disturbing was revealed. We learned that a man lied under oath. In this country, we call that perjury, and it’s not […]
For many of us who have been harassed and attacked directly by Milo Yiannopoulos over the past few years, we are well aware of his depravity. He openly embraces his role as a bigot and a troll who targets and ridicules whoever crosses his path. I have seen people’s personal lives destroyed by death threats […]
This weekend, in a slew of truly bizarre interviews, the nation got a new level of confirmation that Stephen Bannon is not the only Steve pulling the strings in the White House. Stephen Miller, a 31-year-old Duke graduate who somehow found a way to be an outspoken critic of Maya Angelou while in college, now […]
Police brutality. Remember that? The issue that gripped our nation, catalyzed a movement, and got the attention of the world for two straight years. This week, Sandra Bland would have and should have turned 30 years old. She should have never been pulled over by police in Texas. She damn sure shouldn’t have been threatened […]
When I’m traveling on the road, speaking at colleges and universities around the country, I get several questions over and over again, no matter where I am in the country. The one question I might get more than any other goes a little something like this, “Shaun, I am bothered by injustice, I am bothered […]
This morning at CNN.com, the headline read “Democrats Have No Power.” And it’s almost true. You’ve heard me say it before, Republicans now control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Democrats are seemingly unable to stop even one of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees from being confirmed. It appears conservatives will soon control the Supreme […]
For the past two years, as I’ve traveled the country, spoken on college campuses, and even right here on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, I’ve frequently made the point that it is hard to know a moment in history in when you’re in it. On an average day where you are stressed about work, school, […]
This morning, I wanna tell you about a Louisiana police chief charging people with a felony hate crime punishable by 10 years in prison if they resist arrest. Now I would normally say “Welcome to Donald Trump’s America,” but Louisiana’s Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards signed this horrendous bill into law before Trump was even […]
