I mentioned that a white college dropout was 15 times more likely to be in prison than a Black college graduate.

This is a followup to my last episode "RPR: George Floyd, BLM, Police Violence, Antiracism - A Critical Assessment." I go over the corporate response to the death of George Floyd, the idea of defunding the police, and the removal of monuments. Music by Lukrembo --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thericeclub/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thericeclub/support

George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers on May 25th, 2020. His death sparked nationwide protests demanding justice for Mr. Floyd and an end to police violence. The dominant discourse utilized by activists and demonstrators relied on a race reductionist, liberal antiracist framework. We should all be vehemently opposed to racism, prejudice, and discrimination, but the antiracist line is inadequate for understanding the root causes of our carceral crisis along with who is most likely targeted, killed, and incarcerated. In this episode, I utilize several works from scholars and researchers that help make sense of our current policing crisis and how we should respond to it.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thericeclub/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thericeclub/support

"Solidarity Forever" was written by trade union activist Ralph Chaplin in 1915. It has been covered by a multitude of artists including Pete Seeger.
