LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- In response to my brother Kenya Barris's Revolt interview with Revolt's Detavio Samuels 'BlackPrint,' I and our mother were left deeply offended and disgusted by the inaccuracies, lies and outright slanderous portrayal of our family by my brother and co-signed by you.

My question Mr. Samuels is, in what way was investigative research done in preparing for your discussion with @KenyaBarris? Can ANYONE deemed celebrity (now) just create myth and it become factual or law? Moreover does the truth even matter? America's comfortability with Black Humiliation/Trauma for profit is toxic, and as such Mr. Samuels were you (too) just adhering to other truly false narratives that exist for your benefit?  I believe so.

For the record Mr. Samuels, our 84 year-old mother has been a Real Estate broker over fifty years in the greater Los Angeles area. In addition she is a successful real estate owner who has contributed to creating several of Black Los Angeles's real estate millionaires, (including herself).  That's a storyline that would have truly been inspiring to Community.  Our mother NEVER  raised my younger brother Kenya, in poverty and we will not stand for this narrative of, "I pulled myself up from humble beginning and dysfunction" lies, anymore. Our mother and father worked hard and sacrificed to create an environment of achievement for their children, and this Mr. Samuels is a story the Village desperately needs now.  Not the one you engaged in with my brother.  Mr. Samuels you along with journalist/writers, bloggers and podcasters still must reside in the bounds of fact, as demonstrated in the Megan Tha' Stallion case with the blogger being ruled a journalist and as such there is a fiduciary to fact and not defamation and slander for clicks.

Mr. Samuels to borrow from Katt Williams, 'time for truth,' as such it is time for you (and others) to seek truth and not algorithms...I and my family have had enough and now I must stand up-It's long overdue.
