Rickey Smiley stopped by The Wendy Williams Show on Thursday to promote his new book “Stand by Your Truth: And Then Run for Your Life!”, but he also weighed in on how he disciplines his children, nieces, and nephews.

“I’m a tough parent. Nobody’s entitled… Entitlement is the worst characteristic one can develop”, he tells Wendy.

“I believe in old-school discipline and old-school home training because it didn’t hurt me”, he adds. “Either you do that or you go to their funeral.”

Smiley describes to Wendy that he makes his boys sleep on cots in the garage when they misbehave. He mentions that the boys get two soups per day, two baths, and three outfits a week. “I get a lot of flack”, he said.

Smiley grew up in an impoverished neighborhood in Alabama, so he believes that his children should be taught responsibility. He later adds, “That’s the problem with some of these kids now… They are entitled, they don’t work anywhere.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
