Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on the…

Kamala Harris has her eye on the White House but has found herself swimming behind the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden on a poll and popularity front.

So, she is now determined to set the record straight on a number of issues she feels may be standing in the way of her win by addressing them head on.

First on the agenda?

Her record on crime.

Don’t quite understand the disdain people in the black community have for Kamala Harris. You can disagree on policy, but I’m seeing a lot more than that.
