Foundational Black Americans. Who are they, what does it mean, what do they want, and how do their beliefs affect the black diaspora in America? MMSN digs in on this controversial, potentially divisive stance on blackness and the impact it may have on this upcoming election.

Sean "Diddy" Combs federal arrest has broken the internet. In response, the content creation world - both professional and public, has unleashed thousands of videos commenting on the voracity of his guilt, and even worse, creators are also associating guilt with anyone tangentially associted with him.

We try to bring some common sense, caution, and grace to the ongoing Scarlet Letter campaign.

Also, the NAACP has declared literacy a civil right. Was this a grandiose empty gesture, a good-intentioned reach, or the right measure at the right time? Well MMSN knows education like Bo knows sports, and we dissect the meaning and potential impact of the NAACP's new measure.
