The Walt Weekly Podcast

Walt and Ernest Had To Speak On Shannon Sharpe

There is a clear pattern of racial disparity in the context of sexual complaints in athletics. Black athletes, both male and female, are more likely to face negative outcomes, skepticism, and harsher treatment when involved in sexual complaints compared to their white counterparts, whether as plaintiffs or defendants.

The relationship reportedly deteriorated after an incident in September 2024, when Zuniga claims Sharpe was heard having sex with another woman during an Instagram Live broadcast, which she describes as humiliating.

Gabriella Zuniga was also an Only Fans model. I guess she concluded that Shannon had an exclusive worth 50 million

Economics: The Black American Investment Fund (Rebroadcast)

In this week’s show we discuss the possibility of starting the Black American Investment Fund.

From 40, 000 feet, what will it take to get this investment fund up and running? What would it look like structurally? How will it be managed and what will be its strategy? We try to evaluate the feasibility of realizing this lofty ambition. We will also discuss Reparations and what we believe should be done with it. Spreading the funding for this fund across, and for the Black American, would contribute to the coalescence of our group.
