Malcolm-Jamal Warner shared THIS message before his death

Malcolm Jamal Warner shared a touching message in his final podcast episode before his death.

Just days before his tragic death, Malcolm-Jamal Warner released the final episode of his podcast Not All Hood on Friday, July 18.

It is pertinent to mention that Warner untimely passed away from drowning at the age of 54 during a family vacation in Costa Rica

During the chat with cohost Candace Kelly and guest Tameka "Georgia Me" Harper, Warner opened up about a recent talk with Harper that changed his perspective on how he viewed the podcast's title.

While speaking behind the camera, when he mentioned his podcast name, Harper responded, "Ain't nothing wrong with the hood."

That moment made Warner reflect, "It made me realize that there could be a misconception that we're saying 'not all hood' saying that the hood is bad, but the concept is what the media shows us is one side of Black culture, and it's the hood side," he began.

He further explained, "The hood side, ultimately, historically, is what has always created American culture, right? It gets co-opted from the hood and then it becomes mainstream."

Warner also discussed about how his idea of “Black excellence” changed after a discussion about Black soldiers. "Black survival in of itself is Black excellence," he shared, adding that "Black soldiers are hands-down the most patriotic people walking this Earth."
