Regular listeners of this show know that we frequently explore interpretations and nuances of abolition. When we think of abolition, we often conjure Angela Davis' articulation, that prisons are a way of disappearing people and the social problems that are associated with those people. From that framing, abolition tells us to rethink the social problems being disappeared by prisons, in order to address those problems, as a space from which to grow, where no one person, regardless of how exceptional or not, they are, is disposable. Where the social problems people have engaged with, or experienced, or been structured by, have social solutions, as opposed to locking them away, while making no real changes. On today's show, we add more layers: How embedded are these social issues, in the United States? How were they not only created, but institutionalized and maintained in just about every one of our, life, if not day to day, experiences? Our guest today draws clear and direct lines between the civilizing project that was the conquest of the land that the United States is on, the genocide of indigenous peoples of this land, the institutional formation of enslavement of Black people in its both economic and social functions, and the creation and reinforcment of the idea of citizenship, embedded in every one of our institutions – starting, with schools and schooling, where our young folks learn about their roles, their access, and a false idea of American exceptionalism that still now binds a colonial nexus of success with whiteness and christianity, and embeds economic accumulation as the primary priority of not only our working lives, but our very identities. We're joined now by award-winning author, scholar, cultural organizer, and poet Eve L Ewing, who is from Chicago, now working as a professor at University of Chicago, and a former middle school teacher in that city. Today, we'll be talking about her latest book, Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism. —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Schooling and the Construction of American Racism w/ Eve L Ewing appeared first on KPFA.
There are few, true, public intellectuals anymore. But Ta-Nehisi Coates – author of ‘Between The World And Me' and recipient of the MacArthur Genius Grant – is unquestionably foremost amongst them. His new book, The Message, is a sweeping exploration of how stories shape our politics – from the parameters of black struggle to Israel's […]
Oscar season might be over but that doesn't mean we still can't cover some Oscar bait. 2009's The Soloist that has all the makings of an awards season darling: two stars at the height of their power with Robert Downey Jr. an Jamie Foxx, an award winning director and screen writer and a sappy true story. And yet, it feels like a parody. We discuss how cruelly this movie treats the unhoused community it seemingly wants to uplift, Jamie's crazy hairline and outfits, and how movies like this seek to win awards through Black pain. Announcement: We are finally starting out book club this April! Our first book will be Eve Ewing's Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism. We will be livestreaming our discussion on IG (@whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod) on April 27th so stay tuned and we hope to see you then!

Ewing joins The Excerpt to discuss her new book “Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism.” It is out on bookshelves now.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Earl Ingram extends a heartfelt invitation to his friend Reggie Jackson to engage in a meaningful conversation about Black History and the events surrounding the civil rights movement of the 1960s. During their exchange, they jump into "The Kerner Report," a significant document produced by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which was formed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in response to the riots of 1967. This crucial report was made public in March 1968. The Jim Crow laws were designed to obstruct the African American community from achieving success and building wealth, promoting the notion that individuals are not equal and that whites hold a "superior" status due to "white privilege." Interestingly, it is often white women who benefit from government programs, rather than Black individuals. Dr. Reggie Jackson also sheds light on a report that was published and subsequently retracted, titled "The Harvest of American Racism."

This week, award-winning writer and scholar Eve L. Ewing discusses her new book Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism. She is interviewed by AWM President Carey Cranston. This conversation originally took place February 10, 2025 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum.We hope you enjoy entering the Mind of a Writer.AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOMEMore about Original Sins:If all children could just get an education, the logic goes, they would have the same opportunities later in life. But this historical tour de force makes it clear that the opposite is true: The U.S. school system has played an instrumental role in creating and upholding racial hierarchies, preparing children to expect unequal treatment throughout their lives.In Original Sins, Ewing demonstrates that our schools were designed to propagate the idea of white intellectual superiority, to “civilize” Native students and to prepare Black students for menial labor. Education was not an afterthought for the Founding Fathers; it was envisioned by Thomas Jefferson as an institution that would fortify the country's racial hierarchy. Ewing argues that these dynamics persist in a curriculum that continues to minimize the horrors of American history. The most insidious aspects of this system fall below the radar in the forms of standardized testing, academic tracking, disciplinary policies, and uneven access to resources.By demonstrating that it's in the DNA of American schools to serve as an effective and underacknowledged mechanism maintaining inequality in this country today, Ewing makes the case that we need a profound reevaluation of what schools are supposed to do, and for whom. This book will change the way people understand the place we send our children for eight hours a day.EVE L. EWING is a writer, scholar, and cultural organizer from Chicago. She is the award-winning author of four books: the poetry collections Electric Arches and 1919, the nonfiction work Ghosts in the Schoolyard: Racism and School Closings on Chicago's South Side, and a novel for young readers, Maya and the Robot. She is the co-author (with Nate Marshall) of the play No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks. She has written several projects for Marvel Comics, most notably the Ironheart series, and is currently writing Black Panther. Ewing is an associate professor in the Department of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago. Her work has been published in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times, and many other venues.
What is the purpose of schools? Most people would say to teach children to meet their potential and to prepare them for the world. But in her new book “Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism,” Chicago author and sociologist Eve Ewing presents readers with an exhaustively researched history of how U.S. schools have been a place where separation and inequality have been enshrined by design. Reset checks in with Ewing to explore the role of schools in America and a better way forward. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Latinos have long influenced everything from electoral politics to popular culture, yet many people instinctively regard them as recent immigrants rather than a longstanding racial group. In Inventing Latinos: A New Story of American Racism (The New Press, 2020), Laura Gómez, a leading expert on race, law, and society, illuminates the fascinating race-making, unmaking, and re-making of Latino identity that has spanned centuries, leaving a permanent imprint on how race operates in the United States today. Pulling back the lens as the country approaches an unprecedented demographic shift (Latinos will comprise a third of the American population in a matter of decades), Gómez also reveals the nefarious roles the United States has played in Latin America—from military interventions and economic exploitation to political interference—that, taken together, have destabilized national economies to send migrants northward over the course of more than a century. It's no coincidence that the vast majority of Latinos migrate from the places most impacted by this nation's dirty deeds, leading Gómez to a bold call for reparations. In this audacious effort to reframe the often-confused and misrepresented discourse over the Latinx generation, Gómez provides essential context for today's most pressing political and public debates—representation, voice, interpretation, and power—giving all of us a brilliant framework to engage cultural controversies, elections, current events, and more. David-James Gonzales (DJ) is Assistant Professor of History at Brigham Young University. He is a historian of migration, urbanization, and social movements in the U.S., and specializes in Latina/o/x politics and social movements. Follow him on Twitter @djgonzoPhD.

Pulling back the lens as the country approaches an unprecedented demographic shift (Latinos will comprise a third of the American population in a matter of decades), Gómez also reveals the nefarious roles the United States has played in Latin America—from military interventions and economic exploitation to political interference—that, taken together, have destabilized national economies to send migrants northward over the course of more than a century. It's no coincidence that the vast majority of Latinos migrate from the places most impacted by this nation's dirty deeds, leading Gómez to a bold call for reparations. In this audacious effort to reframe the often-confused and misrepresented discourse over the Latinx generation, Gómez provides essential context for today's most pressing political and public debates—representation, voice, interpretation, and power—giving all of us a brilliant framework to engage cultural controversies, elections, current events, and more. David-James Gonzales (DJ) is Assistant Professor of History at Brigham Young University. He is a historian of migration, urbanization, and social movements in the U.S., and specializes in Latina/o/x politics and social movements. Follow him on Twitter @djgonzoPhD.

Bonjour! Stephanie here. I think today is the first time that I am welcoming an author on the show to talk about a memoir. I don't think I've ever done memoirs, but this one just gripped my heart. I just had to share it with you. Lisa-Jo Baker is someone I've met a few years ago at a friend's party. I was mesmerized by her story, her depth, her intelligence. She has serious brain power, but also kindness, thoughtfulness, and truly empathetic other-centeredness. “It was not roaring, it was weeping” is the title of her memoir. It's an honest and lyrical, almost poetic coming of age memoir of growing up in South Africa at the height of apartheid. It's an invitation to confront or inherited traumas or prejudices. It is also an invitation to forgive our parents, so that we won't repeat the same mistakes. It is an invitation to dig deep inside ourselves and nurture self-awareness, so that we understand what triggers us, so we can rewire our minds to stop repeating harmful patterns, both individually and communally. It is an invitation to cultivate forgiveness and grace as the only way forward as humanity, together. When she found herself spiraling into a terrifying version of her father, screaming herself hoarse at her son, Lisa-Jo Baker realized that to go forward—to refuse to repeat the sins of our fathers—we must first go back. This is an unflinching look at a family that got it wrong and a real life example for all who feel worried they're too off-course to make the necessary corrections. Lisa-Jo's story shows that it's never too late to be free. Born white in the heart of Zululand during the height of apartheid, Lisa-Jo Baker longed to write a new future for her children—a longing that set her on a journey to understand where she fit into a story of violence and faith, history and race. Before marriage and motherhood, she came to the United States to study to become a human rights advocate. When she naively walked right into America's own turbulent racial landscape, she experienced the kind of painful awakening that is both individual and universal, personal and social. Years would go by before she traced this American trauma back to her own South African past. Lisa-Jo was a teenager when her mother died of cancer, leaving her with her father. Though they shared a language of faith and justice, she often feared him, unaware that his fierce temper had deep roots in a family's and a nation's pain. Decades later, old wounds reopened when she found herself repeating the violent patterns of her childhood in her own parenting. Only then did she begin the journey back to the beginning to find a way to break old cycles and write a new story for her family and the next generation. MEET LISA-JO BAKER LISA-JO BAKER is a bestselling author with a BA in English/prelaw from Gordon College and a JD from the University of Notre Dame Law School. Lisa-Jo has lived and worked on three continents in the human rights field and subsequently spent nearly a decade leading the online community of women called (in)courage as their editor in chief and community manager. Originally from South Africa, Lisa-Jo now lives just outside Washington, D.C., where she met and fell in love with her husband in the summer of '96. Their story together spans decades, languages, countries, books, three very opinionated children, and one dog. https://lisajobaker.com/ We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

In this enlightening episode of 'The Rational Egoist', host Michael Liebowitz engages in a thought-provoking conversation with renowned author Andrew Bernstein about his latest book, "American Racism: Its Decline, Its Baleful Resurgence, and Our Looming Race War. Bernstein's book delves into the intricate dynamics of racism in America, tracing its historical decline and alarming resurgence. The discussion pivots around the core tenet of individualism, a perspective that emphasizes the reality and significance of individuality, advocating for each person's inalienable rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of personal happiness. This framework provides a unique lens to understand and critique racial dynamics. Key to Bernstein's argument is the notion that while racial differences exist, they are minor variations in the grand tapestry of humanity, akin to differences in hair or eye colour. The episode explores this concept in depth, discussing how these differences should not overshadow the essence of individual moral choices. Liebowitz and Bernstein dissect the critical idea that individuals ought to be judged based on their moral choices rather than the circumstances of their birth, including their racial or ethnic backgrounds. This conversation promises to challenge prevailing notions, inviting listeners to reconsider their perspectives on race, individualism, and moral judgment in the context of contemporary American society. Tune in to this episode of 'The Rational Egoist' for a deep dive into the nuances of racism and individualism, as Bernstein's insightful analysis and Liebowitz's probing questions illuminate the path towards a more rational and just understanding of these perennial issues. Michael Leibowitz is a renowned philosopher, political activist, and the esteemed host of the Rational Egoist podcast. Inspired by the philosophical teachings of Ayn Rand, Leibowitz passionately champions the principles of reason, rational self-interest, and individualism, seeking to empower others through his compelling work. His life's narrative exemplifies the transformative power of Ayn Rand's writings. Having faced challenging circumstances that led to a 25-year prison sentence, Leibowitz emerged from adversity by embracing the tenets of rational self-interest and moral philosophy put forth by Ayn Rand. This profound transformation propelled him to become an influential figure in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, motivating others to adopt reason, individualism, and self-interest in their own lives. Beyond his impactful podcasting endeavors, Leibowitz fearlessly engages in lively political debates, advocating for the protection of individual rights and freedoms through compelling YouTube videos and insightful interviews. His unwavering commitment to these ideals has garnered him a dedicated following of like-minded individuals. Leibowitz is a versatile author, co-authoring the thought-provoking book titled “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime.” This groundbreaking work delves into societal attitudes surrounding punishment and rehabilitation, shedding light on how misguided approaches have contributed to the rise of crime and recidivism. Additionally, he has authored the book “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” offering an intimate portrayal of his personal journey while exploring the philosophies that influenced his transformation.For a deeper exploration of his ideas and insights, don't miss the opportunity to read “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime,” co-authored by Michael Leibowitz.

I take a look at a true conspiracy, and a long running one at that. This particular conspiracy starts to get us into some much broader conspiracies, both in terms of duration and scope. A huge part of these types of conspiracies is, thanks to propaganda (and especially the propaganda of myth), their ability to disappear in our national memories.

"We know that disparities exist and we don't fix them, which is a system of racism." The only way to correct systemic racism is to put a system in place that addresses it. Michael Harriot takes on the naysayers who claim systemic racism isn't real by providing several examples throughout the American education system, criminal justice system, and more that prove that it is.

In this episode of The Optimistic American, Paul Johnson sits down with Brandon Tatum to discuss race and police relations in America. They cover some very controversial issues ranging from race relations, the reality of White privilege, police shootings, and the 1619 Project. Paul and Brandon start the conversation by discussing Brandon's early life, his relationship with God, and playing competitive sports. Brandon explains what it means to be uncoachable and why you should stop taking things personally. Brandon shares why he believes too many Black people have a victim mindset that enslaves them in a "mental plantation." According to Paul, the answer to a victim mindset is purpose, and chasing happiness is not sustainable. People should focus on finding meaning. Only then can they find true happiness. Paul highlights how the victim triangle is keeping you stuck. Brandon shares how he discovered a passion for policing after going on a life-changing ride along. Paul and Brandon discuss the disconnect between the police and the general public. Both Paul and Brandon discuss their involvement with police, Brandon as a police officer and Paul as Mayor of the 5th largest city in the US. Brandon reveals what the data says about police killings and racial bias - and why it's rarely about race when a cop pulls you over. Brandon points out that many people raise their children to hate the police and that does damage to the child and to society. Brandon and Paul agree that the case of Tyre Nichols was not about race, or even systemic racism, but there are groups of people who want it to be about race because it drives their agenda. According to Paul, people are so focused on racism especially as it comes to police departments that it actually harms their ability to fix the real issues. He points to the bigger issue of creating relationships between police and neighbors but that requires resources. Brandon explains why we need community policing and how defunding the police will only lead to low-quality policing. Brandon goes through the best way to interact with the police and how to act when a cop pulls you over. When it comes to police brutality, Paul believes the worst thing you can do is trust the media on the right or left because they rarely have facts on what actually happened, and they profit from sensationalized reporting. The police kill about 2 to 4000 people a year. Medical malpractice kills more than 300,000 people annually - but the police are the enemy. Brandon reveals that white people are shot twice as much as Black people - but you will never see it in the news. Brandon and Paul discuss opposition to The 1619 project because it has bad history. It's designed to divide people, and most importantly, abandon the foundation of our country based upon the Declaration of Independence. We were also abandoning the importance of believing that all people are created equal. For Brandon, it's disgusting that some people profit from us living in fear and hating each other. Paul describes the link between agency and finding truth.

On this week's Scheer Intelligence, Boyah Farah, a young refugee from Somalia's hellish civil war describes his family's narrow escape from death and their arrival in the placid suburbs of Boston. But life was more a nightmare than the dream he had imagined.
We were warned. Teachers taught us about the oppression of communist rule. Pop culture gave us “Midnight Express” and “Brokedown Palace.” We knew committing crime on foreign soil was a bad idea. WBNA star Brittney Griner isn't the first to learn this lesson the hard way. Griner sits in a Russian prison accused of a crime she may be innocent of, but she is guilty of the offense of being an American in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rather than blame Griner, or even Russia, some members of the media and sports world have indicted America's racism as the culprit of her incarceration. Jason explores how they reach that conclusion. “Russia locks up a 6-foot-8 black woman for a tiny amount of hash, and it's America's fault. Really? What's the matter with us? Are we really filled with this much self-hate?” Jason believes if you really want to blame this country for the imprisonment of political adversaries, look to the Jan. 6 protesters. They deserve the sympathy that's being rained down on Griner. “Fearless” contributor Royce White weighs in on the situation and shares why he's never played overseas, even after being blackballed by the NBA. Delano Squires drops in to share his thoughts on ESPN's Elle Duncan's attack on #GirlDad in the Roe v. Wade aftermath. Plus, Maj Toure explains how red-flag laws failed in the Highland Park shooting, Shemeka Michelle has words for "Saturday Night Live's" Leslie Jones, and in Tennessee Harmony, Pastor Anthony Walker answers the question: To tithe, or not to tithe?
