ORLANDO, Fla. – This week on “Black Men Sundays,” host Corie Murray shares part two of his time with a panel talking about the 2024 General Election.
The six-person panel featured three previous guests on the show — financial counseling CEO Marvin Wilson, entrepreneur Richard Cuff and Dr. Herbert Harris, an author and public speaker — as well as investor Len Gilmer, broadcaster Shakhea Moore and Florida State Sen. Rosalind Osgood, D-Broward.

Wilson kicked off the second half by giving his assessment of the conversation so far, erring partly on staying neutral and partly on looking at the upcoming election as a veteran, as a financial professional, and as a Black man.
“I’ve listened to everybody and I think it’s a great conversation. You know, Dr. Rosalind has definitely walked the walk, understands policy, and she’s had her experiences with education; and brother, Len, I have to appreciate him, some things that he stood on, a lot of people didn’t agree with, I did. So I get it from the whole surround. But for me, being a Black man, a lot of people don’t like, sometimes, my language, but I just deal with reality, guys. Being in the Desert Storm war, having a top secret clearance and being around Black men as generals, been around a lot of things that people are not aware of when it comes to propaganda, when it comes to fake media, when it comes to information that we think that we’re hearing. Television tell lies visually,” he said. “(...) Democratic and Republican, it’s really a mixing bowl of one voice. Donald Trump coming in, really he’s showing up, guys, for really what’s been in front of us all these years. A lot of Donald Trump monies have put people in to being president, so he knows the game. I’m not standing up for Donald Trump. I’m not a Trumpy. I’m just being facts. But with decision making to give all of us our power back, getting into this last quarter of this year, going into 2025, I just want to make sure that we understand and know that we have the power for our kids, for our future. Let’s get our power back. (...) I’ve never been a guy, a advocate, of saying anything of lack of limitation, because no policy and no president has ever changed my life. I’m almost about to be 53 years old. It’s a power, and not to be religious, but it’s God-expressed to me. I don’t give too much power to anybody that’s leading anything, because I know that’s not where it stops and that’s not where it’s going to begin.”
