8/18/25 4PM: "Is Meritocracy Dead on Arrival?"

Dr. Ken returns from the weekend and takes focus on the idea of meritocracy, where individuals are selected and promoted based on their abilities and talents, rather than their wealth or social class. Dr. Ken asks Truth Nation if they believe working hard and being knowledgeable still allows for opportunities, or if nepotism is the way of the future for anyone looking to advance and improve their lives.

Further into the hour, Dr. Ken discusses the pros & cons of the idea of meritocracy, along with callers joining the conversation & sharing their hopes for the scholars of the future to remain forthright & dedicated to their educational journeys, as well as the dynamic of Blacks feeling slighted and inconvenienced by Whites in positions of power.
