His story is proof that transformation is real, peace is possible, and purpose is non-negotiable.

Why We Hate Each Other: Phones, Pride & The Collapse of Black Courtesy
ConcreteGeniusMedia.com — it’s your boy Sauce McKenzie (ConcreteGeniusPod). In this episode I break down something that’s been eating at me: why black people have gotten so mean to each other — from customer service and the block to social media and our own music. I lay out the real causes (integration, the music industry shift, and the dopamine economy of the phone) and offer a blunt call to action: humanize each other, protect our kids, and rebuild a code of conduct for the culture.
