You've seen the bumper stickers asking you to support your local police department. However, in some communities, the police aren't supported at all. Are inner-cities not patrolled by the police because of discrimination or is it because they know that they're not going to be supported any way?

If the inner-cities embraced their police department more, then would it lead to a healthier relationship thus safer streets? I'll ask that question and more tonight to our guest. She's a retired NYC police sergeant, so she definitely has the inside scoop; T2Q welcomes Valarie Carey to the show!

Also on the show: Protecting your credit. A lot of young people have no idea of how their credit can be jacked up to the utmost of jackstvity by what they do.

Tonight, I want to discuss not just the importance of a credit score, but how it can turn badly without the account holder even knowing.

These things and other current event topics on the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!

Join me as I have a chat with animator/writer, Leesa Dean, of Chill Town TV fame! We'll discuss her show and a number of other topics like:

What's the most difficult part of trying to establish an online following?  How did you acquire the voice-over talents?  Where do the plots for your episodes originate?

Born and raised in the Bronx, Leesa Dean attended LaGuardia HS of the Arts and Wesleyan University and has a BFA. Her underground comic book, Chilltown (Zeric Award winner for Best Indy Book), has been featured in The Source, Spin & Vibe Magazines as well as numerous national newspapers and radio.

Primarily a writer, she has sold a number of television scripts—including ones to HBO producers Two Oceans Entertainment and BET—but was always "in development." Frustrated, she taught herself how to animate five years ago and, solo guerrilla-style, completed three full series: Chilltown, The Danger Squad (launching late 2013) and Lele's Ratchet Advice Show.

Also being discussed on the show:

• Nightclubs and VIP services.
• What will be Obama's place in Black History?  People love creating photo montages of him, MLK, Malcolm X, etc., but is he really on their level?
• Ray J's diss song towards Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
• All of these things and more on T2Q

What is Considered Rape?

The topic of rape has really been in the news a lot as of late. Especially, given the recent case in Ohio with the two teen-aged boys who were convicted for raping a girl at a party.

There are so many variations of rape and I don't think that a lot of people understand that. Most think that rape is when a man hides in the bushes, jumps out, clubs a woman over the head and forcibly takes her. Or maybe some creep puts something in a drink that renders a woman unconscious. Those are definitely two examples of rape and should be punishable to the fullest extend of the law. But, rape can come in a lot of forms.

However, with the other forms of rape, should there be a different approach to how they're tried in the court of law? What if a woman and a man get drunk together and have sex, can he be charged with rape? If she's in no condition to consent to sex, is he in a condition to adhere to the non-consent since he's drunk, too? Since he is also drunk, would he also have a claim to being raped?

These are things that I think our courts should address. More needs to be done to prevent a guy from going to jail because a woman is pissed at him, scared of what her parents/friends may think or because they got high together, had sex and she woke up with regret. We'll discuss this in relation to the Ohio teens recently sentenced for raping a girl at a party.

We'll also discuss Rick Ross rapping about date rape in one of his songs. Simply entertainment or was it irresponsible?

All of these things and more on what will undoubtedly be the most controversial Talk 2 Q Radio Show to date.
