Black Lives Matter has hijacked the civil rights movement. Its supporters have shifted away from Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of character over color. Now it's color over everything. In his book "Not Equal," Ryan Bomberger details his life as a half black, half white man and his fight for true equality based on facts. He's among the black conservative voices that the Left attempts to silence. He's been sued by the NAACP and won. He's also pro-life and pro-adoption. His biological mother was raped, yet courageously gave him a chance to live through the beautiful gift of adoption. Don't miss this episode of Rick & Bubba University, as Ryan Bomberger proves that the color of your skin and the conditions of your conception don't determine your worth.
