Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text A third-grade teacher with a passion for change is stepping into the political arena. Justin Burns, Virginia Beach native and special education inclusion teacher, shares his journey and vision as a candidate for Virginia State Delegate representing District 100—a diverse area encompassing Northwestern Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore counties of Accomac and Northampton. Burns speaks candidly about what drove him to run: deep concern for children's futures, particularly regarding education funding, healthcare access, and economic opportunity. His firsthand classroom experience informs his urgent warning about potential federal education cuts that would devastate special education programs and widen the gap between affluent and low-income communities. "It would be a revert back to really the Jim Crow era...maybe not so much in as of race, but socioeconomically," Burns explains, highlighting how his district's Eastern Shore communities—where median household income falls $36,000 below the state average—would suffer most. The conversation delves into the affordable housing crisis gripping the Eastern Shore, where both workforce and family housing options are scarce. Burns advocates for developer incentives to build more accessible housing, understanding the ripple effects on employment, transportation, and community stability. Environmental challenges also feature prominently in his platform, with the district's coastal geography making rising sea levels and sustainable development urgent priorities for residents bordering both the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. As a young candidate in a Republican-leaning district, Burns brings an organizer's mindset to a challenging political landscape. Rather than shying away from difficult conversations, he's meeting voters where they are—even Republican farmers concerned about vanishing agricultural grants. His approach focuses on finding common ground around shared priorities: family success, quality education, environmental protection, and economic stability. "At the end of the day, we all want the same things," Burns reflects, demonstrating the bridge-building approach he believes can overcome political polarization.

On this episode of the Listen Up Podcast, I, Al Neely, tackle the nuanced and often controversial dynamics within the Black Manosphere. We unravel the layers of societal struggles and survival mentalities that have shaped narratives within the black community, leading to the development of damaging stereotypes about black men and women. Our discussion shines a light on how figures like Joe Rogan and Candace Owens have influenced these spaces, and why young black men are drawn to these forums seeking connection and validation amidst limited opportunities for expression and growth. As we explore the complexities of this community, we confront the harsh realities of toxic influencers who exploit these platforms, spreading messages that fuel self-hatred and misogyny, overshadowing the potential for positive discourse. By reflecting on the systemic challenges the black community faces, from socioeconomic disparities to generational trauma, we emphasize the vital role of meaningful relationships and mental health awareness. Drawing inspiration from historical figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we navigate the ongoing issues of inequality and the necessity for healing and empowerment.

Join me, Al Neely, on the Listen Up Podcast as we explore the cultural earthquake triggered by Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show. We tackle the uncomfortable realities of racism in America, a persistent force dividing our nation—especially in the wake of recent political turmoil. With a keen eye, I analyze how Lamar's lyrics pull back the curtain on racial trauma and inequality, drawing from his own gritty experiences. The symbolic presence of Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam during the performance stands as a powerful critique of American capitalism, challenging us to rethink the role of art in confronting societal norms. Beyond the stage, we journey into the heart of American culture—where violence and skewed values often define success in marginalized communities. Through Kendrick's evocative music, we confront how systemic neglect and political inertia amplify this culture of violence. His fearless storytelling sheds light on how aggressive, rather than truthful, approaches to societal issues perpetuate cycles of entitlement and unrest. This episode isn't just a reflection; it's a call to action, urging each of us to reconsider our place in these dynamics and the transformative potential of art to inspire change.

Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Gail Sahar, a distinguished professor at Wheaton College and author of "Blame and Political Attitudes: The Psychology of America's Cultural War." Together, we unravel the complex cognitive processes behind how we perceive social issues like poverty and terrorism, challenging the narrative of a strictly polarized society. Dr. Sahar’s insights offer a fresh perspective on understanding these issues beyond mere political ideology, bridging the gap between academic research and public discourse. We dive into the nuanced roles of blame in our society, tackling sensitive subjects such as unwanted pregnancy and sexual assault. With Dr. Sahar, we explore stereotypes and perceived control that shape public opinion and policy preferences, often dictating who receives sympathy and who faces judgment. The discussion touches on political contexts, including the support for Donald Trump, and the need for diverse social connections to break free from ideological echo chambers. Through education and awareness, we aspire to inspire a gradual reduction in prejudgment, even if it’s just one person at a time. Our exploration extends to the broader political landscape, examining societal attitudes toward immigrants and minority groups. Dr. Sahar shares personal reflections, highlighting the impact of fear-driven rhetoric from leaders and the media. We discuss the influence of corporate capitalism on political priorities and the essential role of education in overcoming economic barriers, emphasizing the structural challenges faced by those trying to escape poverty.

We'll scrutinize the roles of influential figures like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, and Jordan Peterson, exploring how their ideologies resonate across these groups. With a politically independent stance and a commitment to emotional intelligence, we'll provide a balanced critique, emphasizing the necessity for cross-generational communication and understanding. As we challenge the pressures men face to conform to unrealistic societal expectations, we explore the damaging effects this can have, from aggression and violence to suppressed emotions and feelings of inadequacy. The podcast covers how societal shifts are pushing back against these traditional narratives, allowing diverse groups to thrive in various sectors like technology and medicine. We'll discuss the need for men to reclaim the grace to express their emotions freely without stigma. As we prepare to delve deeper into the black manosphere in our next episode, we invite you to continue this enlightening journey into understanding the intricate dynamics shaping modern masculinity.
