Political commentator and radio host (WVON's "Launching Chicago with Lenny McAllister") will appear on TV One's "Our World with Black Enterprise" with host Marc Lamont Hill as well as on the November 21 edition of "Weekly with Ed Gordon" on the BET network.
New-school Republican pundit McAllister sparred with old-school Black conservative Armstrong Williams during the show while discussing "The Browning of the GOP" after the historic elections of several minority candidates on Election Night. Hill conducted the 45-minute interview with Frederick Douglass Republican activist Vanessa Jean Louis, McAllister, and Williams. The show will appear both online and on TV-One this week starting Sunday; (check local listings for airtime in your locale.)
"Some Black conservatives don't see the need today to be openly proud of both being Black and being American simultaneously," McAllister said offset after the show. "I do."
WVON's McAllister is also set to appear on the BET weekly political program along with guests that include television talk show host Wendy Williams ("The Wendy Williams Show") to discuss the latest in politics and current events. "Weekly with Ed Gordon" appears Sunday evenings on BET; (check local listings for airtime in your locale.)
McAllister is also slated to appear on National Public Radio's "Tell Me More" this Monday; (check local radio listings for airtime in your area.)
McAllister has remained busy with both "Launching Chicago" as well as appearing in new media. His latest controversial article "Memo to the New Black Republicans in Congress" on The Root is a direct challenge to the newly-elected Black Republicans into Congress.
McAllister's former criticism of Congressman-elect Allen West's (R-FL) statement that "...institutional racism is dead..." resonates in his letter requesting that West and fellow Congressman-elect Tim Scott (R-SC) be mindful of their historical obligations as well as their political ones starting in January 2011:
As candidates running in mostly white districts, you could not make race a dominant issue in your campaigns. That was a good winning strategy. What I want to talk to you about now, though, is not campaigning but, rather, leadership.
You have a choice, gentlemen: You can be footnotes in American history or you can play historic roles in tomorrow's America. Black people in America need you to become historic civic servants who will also advocate on their behalf as we work to lift America out of the problems that keep us mediocre internationally -- in education, employment and health care -- all issues that impact black America negatively.
