In this episode of Cite Your Source with Angela Rye tackles the N-word debate head on and what it really means in 2026 -- Who gets to say it, who gets a pass, and who benefits from keeping the debate alive?   The word has been argued over for decades stemming from its racial disparagement roots and the conversation hasn’t gotten any simpler. Angela sits down with a panel of experts including Charlamagne Tha God, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Delano Squires, and more to separate history from hot takes, and to ask whether the fight over the word is taking up space that could go towards bigger issues.   Subscribe to Cite Your Source with Angela Rye for in-depth investigative breakdowns challenging the claims shaping politics, policy, and society.

It’s in our music, our group chats, and some of our most painful memories. But familiarity hasn’t erased the history of the N-word or the weight it carries. Angela explores how a word used to degrade and terrorize Black people became, for some, an expression of familiarity, identity, and connection. What does reclaiming it actually mean? Does changing the ending change its impact? And why do so many people outside the Black community feel entitled to say it? It’s a conversation about language, power, and why who says it still matters.   Our guest is Dr. Hiram Smith, author of “Wassup, My N***a Book.”    To get Dr. Hiram Smith's "Wassup, My N***a Book": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTMVGXP6?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback   Join hosts Angela Rye for a SoloPod episode of Native Land Pod.   Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

Are Flock Safety cameras keeping us safe, or is AI-powered mass surveillance stripping away our constitutional privacy rights? In this episode of Cite Your Source, Angela Rye investigates how automated license plate readers (ALPR) are tracking drivers across America, the history of government surveillance and COINTELPRO targeting Black communities, and whether public safety justifies a digital surveillance state.   Together we explore who controls our data, unauthorized police searches, racial profiling risks, and whether cities can hold surveillance tech companies accountable.   FEATURED GUESTS IN THIS EPISODE • Dr. Xavier Buck — (Fact Checker) Founder of History in 3; Exec.

Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer.    The A.G.’s office said the use of force was “justified” since the officer felt threatened, alleging that the child’s mother was in  a vehicle driving toward them. The Senatobia police have not released any footage from the event.    READ MORE: https://www.mississippifreepress.org/police-shooting-of-1-year-old-kohen-wiley-was-justified-mississippi-attorney-general-says/ Want to ask Angela a question?
