P***k That “Stand Your Ground” Bull S**t

A 14-year-old Black boy was chased, shot in the back, and killed after being accused of stealing from a convenience store. The store owner walked free.

Now the question is bigger than one courtroom, one verdict, or one community:

Who gets to be afraid? Who gets to fight back? And who is expected to die quietly?

This week, Shawnnell “No BS” Batiste, “Big Sexy” Fred Turner, and Brian “G-Money” Turner are unpacking the killing of Cyrus Carmack-Belton, the acquittal of the store owner, the language of self-defense, and the dangerous way fear becomes believable when the person being feared is Black.

We are also digging into the growing tension between Black and Asian communities, the calls for boycotts, the economic relationship between businesses and the neighborhoods they serve, and the hard truth that people can experience racism while still carrying anti-Black beliefs.

But let’s be clear: this conversation is not about blaming every Asian person for the actions of one man. It is about accountability, community respect, solidarity, and recognizing how white supremacy benefits when marginalized communities turn against one another instead of confronting the systems hurting all of us.

We are also talking about the shift we are seeing among Black people who are tired of being harassed, followed, accused, disrespected, and then told to remain calm while somebody else escalates the situation. When does walking away become self-preservation, and when does constantly turning the other cheek teach people that they can keep putting their hands on us?

Standing your ground does not always mean fighting.

Sometimes it means setting a boundary.
Sometimes it means documenting the truth.
Sometimes it means withholding your dollars.
Sometimes it means refusing to leave a space where you have every right to exist.
And sometimes it means standing together so nobody has to stand alone.

This is a conversation about justice, fear, power, economic accountability, anti-Blackness, solidarity, and what it really means to protect our communities without becoming weapons against one another.

🚨 IT’S PODCAST DAY! 🚨
Tonight, we are pulling up to the table for a conversation that is uncomfortable, necessary, and long overdue.

A 14-year-old Black boy was chased, shot in the back, and the man who pulled the trigger walked free.

So we are asking:
Who gets to be afraid? Who gets to fight back? And who is expected to die quietly?

Tonight, Shawnnell “No BS” Batiste, “Big Sexy” Fred Turner, and Brian “G-Money” Turner are unpacking the Cyrus Carmack-Belton case, the verdict, the calls for boycotts, Black economic power, anti-Blackness, tension between Black and Asian communities, and the systems that benefit when marginalized people stay divided.

We are also talking about the growing number of Black people who are tired of being harassed, followed, questioned, and disrespected while being expected to remain calm and quietly walk away.

Because standing your ground does not always mean fighting.

Sometimes it means setting a boundary, withholding your dollars, documenting the truth, refusing to leave a space where you belong.
And sometimes it means standing together.

Black people and Asian people did not create the system that keeps pitting marginalized communities against one another.

But we can still participate in it.

Anti-Blackness can exist inside communities that have also experienced racism. Pain does not automatically make people compassionate. And solidarity means more than showing up when the harm affects people who look like you.

This Sunday, Shawnnell “No BS” Batiste, “Big Sexy” Fred Turner, and Brian “G-Money” Turner are having a real conversation about separation, solidarity, minority-against-minority politics, racial tension, economic accountability, and who benefits when we keep fighting one another.

Because white supremacy does not need everybody to agree with it.

It just needs us divided.

Stay calm.
Walk away.
Be the bigger person.
Do not raise your voice.
Do not give them a reason.

Black people have been handed the same survival instructions for generations while everybody else is allowed to follow us, question us, accuse us, touch our property, invade our space, and escalate the situation.

Now folks are tired.

This Sunday, Shawnnell “No BS” Batiste, “Big Sexy” Fred Turner, and Brian “G-Money” Turner are talking about the growing number of Black people who are refusing to quietly tolerate harassment from Karen-type folks.

Not reckless confrontation.

Not fighting everybody in the parking lot.

But boundaries. Documentation. Strategy. Community. And refusing to confuse peace with passivity.

What happens when businesses profit from Black communities but do not respect, protect, employ, or invest in the people who live there?

That is where the boycott conversation begins.

But is the answer to stop supporting every Asian-owned business, or is it time for Black communities to become more intentional about where our money goes, who earns it, and what those businesses give back?

This Sunday, Shawnnell “No BS” Batiste, “Big Sexy” Fred Turner, and Brian “G-Money” Turner are talking boycotts, Black economic power, accountability, anti-Blackness, and the tension between Black and Asian communities.

It is going to be uncomfortable.

Good. Growth usually is.

A 14-year-old Black boy was chased, shot in the back, and the man who pulled the trigger walked free.

So now we have to ask the question nobody wants to sit with:

Who gets to be afraid? Who gets to fight back? And who is expected to die quietly?

This Sunday, Shawnnell “No BS” Batiste, “Big Sexy” Fred Turner, and Brian “G-Money” Turner are unpacking the Cyrus Carmack-Belton case, the verdict, the language of self-defense, and the kind of fear this country keeps deciding is “reasonable.”

We are not tiptoeing around it.
