Podcasts about black communities

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum would be remiss not to address the crackdown happening in our nation’s capital. The residents of Washington D.C., a city with more than 40% Black residents, are under siege. We hav reports from the ground of federal agents rolling out in overwhelming force and literally showing up on folks’ doorsteps. Trump’s stated goal is to crack down on “crime,” homelessness, and teenagers. Our hosts watch some clips and discuss, featuring friends of the show, Ty Hobson-Powell and Elizabeth Booker Houston. Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation. As promised, Tiffany Cross delivers a report on the DRC after her recent trip there. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!

On this week’s MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum gotta talk more about redistricting. Trump is putting pressure on Republican-controlled states to redraw their electoral maps in order to give Republicans more seats in congress, an anti-democratic practice known as gerrymandering. This practice typically undercuts the representation of the Black community and others, reducing political influence on a state and national level. Our hosts dig into the mechanics of how electoral maps are created, what the rules are now, and what they could be.

On episode 91, our hosts Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum bring on super-guest and renowned progressive journalist: Mehdi Hasan. Tiffany Cross is away this week but she sent us a report from the ground in the DRC. Mehdi Hasan was featured on a Jubilee debate where he (a proclaimed progressive) debated 20 “far-right” young people. The debate was shocking, participants called themselves fascists, and told Mehdi, a naturalized citizen, to “get out” of the country. Mehdi reflects on the debate, the surprise and trauma of it, and what it says (and doesn’t say) about modern conservatives. In addition, the hosts chat with him about redistricting (see below). Follow Mehdi Hassan’s work at https://zeteo.com/ Gerrymandering, the unfair drawing of electoral maps to benefit one’s own party, has been an issue for decades. Egged on by the Trump administration, we are now on the verge of an all-out gerrymandering war. Redistricting (redrawing maps) normally happens at the end of each decade. Trump demanded that Texas redraw their map now to add more Republican seats and the Texas GOP obliged. In response, Democratic state reps have fled Texas to prevent the new maps from being voted on, and governors of blue states like California and New York have threatened to change their state laws to allow more partisan gerrymandering in favor of Democrats. Tiffany Cross is meeting with the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She’ll talk with him ab0ut the civil conflict in the DRC and foreign exploitation of the country’s mineral resources. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!

The Redistricting Showdown You Need to Understand ft. State Rep Jolanda Jones Texas State Representative Jolanda Jones is one of dozens of Democratic state lawmakers who have had warrants issued for their arrest by Texas Governor Greg Abbot. Angela Rye talks with Rep Jones while she is literally on the run. Democratic lawmakers have fled the state in a hail-mary bid to prevent their Republican colleagues from redrawing the Texas election maps to give themselves as many as five additional seats in Congress. The Texas GOP’s plan fits nicely into their larger efforts to disenfranchise Black and Brown voters. Rep Jones: “This map was designed with surgical precision to deny Black and Brown voters the right to elect the representative of their choice. I refuse to legitimize this injustice.” Want to ask Angela a question? Subscribe to our YouTube channel to participate in the chat. Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you!

Hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany ask: Why Do Some Black People Feel Like “White is Right”? In too many folks' eyes, a thing ain’t good until it’s been adopted by mainstream (white) culture. The same news story that makes waves on CNN falls flat on BET. The same person buying a fancy sweater from Ralph Lauren will scoff at House of Gray. Black folks are not immune to this, those who automatically trust a white doctor (or other specialist) over a Black one, for example.

Joey Swoll Apologized to Black Community For Honoring Hulk Hogan After Death

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum talk about Black elitism and Black owned brands with the owner of Actively Black, Lanny Smith. You might’ve seen Lanny Smith’s viral posts recently where he addresses the controversy around Ralph Lauren’s new “Oak Bluffs” line of apparel. Oak Bluffs, a town on Martha’s Vineyard, has been a gathering place for the Black community for more than 100 years. Folks have called the clothing line “elitist;” the jackets and blazers cost well over $500. Should we denounce this celebration of Black culture just for being elitist? Maybe, maybe not. More importantly, we do not need white businesses to validate Black culture. The Black community spends 10’s of billions of dollars on apparel every year, and just a fraction of that goes back to the Black community, even though WE are the source of so much American style. Let’s talk about how we change THAT. Plus, what is happening in Gaza right now is beyond horrific. We have to spend a little time updating y’all on the situation, Gazans are starving to death.

Angela Rye speaks with state representative Justin Jones from Tennessee’s 52nd District (Nashville). Rep. Jones hit the national political spotlight after being expelled from the Tennessee House for joining a gun control protest. He brings that same energy to countering the immigration raids that have been plaguing Nashville; recently, he was barred from even being in the same room as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during her press conference in his district.

On the Northeastern Brazilian coast, in the region of Alcântara, Maranhão, there are dozens of traditional villages of Black communities. Their families have lived here for generations — farming and fishing. They are known as quilombos. These villages were founded by their ancestors, who were either freed or who escaped enslavement on the plantations of Brazil.There are thousands of quilombos across Brazil. But only a small number have the titles to their lands. And many are under threat from development projects, resource extraction, Big Ag, and real estate. This was the story in Alcântara, where these communities have faced removal and threats from Brazil's Alcântara Space Center. But they have fought back.This is episode 59 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

On this week’s MiniPod our host Angela Rye (supported by hosts Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum) turn DOWN an invite from MSNBC. God bless. In more important news, yet another blatant assault on a Black man by police officers. What was 22 year old William McNeil Jr’s crime? Asking what he was pulled over for and requesting the officer call their supervisor. They smashed his window, busted his face, and arrested him, giving him stitches, a chipped tooth, and a concussion. It’s sad that if we’re being honest, it’s lucky he escaped with his life.

An initiative aimed at improving the quality of life in the city's Black communities is entering its final phase.The Indianapolis Urban League and the African American Coalition of Indianapolis hope to bring millions in funding to local nonprofits, with $29 million is available to support programs aimed at improving the lives of Black residents across the city.Applications are due by Aug. 11.Tony Mason, president of the Urban League, is a co-director of the Indianapolis African American Quality of Life Initiative, “It's about empowering communities and changing lives, so that's what we're doing through the IAAQLI.”The initiative launched in 2022 with a $100 million grant from Lilly Endowment.Mason said, “A third of African American families here in metropolitan Indianapolis are either poor or working poor. We have to put the opportunities and resources in place, to hopefully bring those families forward.”So far, more than 150 local groups have received support for projects in education, health, housing, arts and culture, leadership and civic engagements, and Black-owned business development to prevent further gaps in the community. Willis Bright, chairman of the African American Coalition of Indianapolis, is the a co-director of the initiative. “From the need for individuals to have employment with a living wage, to a house that meets code, to children that can learn about their history through community centers, etc.”The $29 million in new funding is available to eligible nonprofits. After funding goes out to this year's recipients, the organizations plans to evaluate the impact the initiative has had on the Black community. Bright said, “They can let us know that it has had meaning that, it has improved quality of life, that there are more people who've been able to receive employment, better housing and other indices that suggest it has been a successful venture.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum comment on a passing of note. The community lost Malcolm-Jamal Warner this week. Malcolm-Jamal played Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show and was known for his spoken word and musical prowess. We’ll remember him today on NLP. Hunter Biden has been doing interviews and laying it ALL out there, going into detail about his drug addiction, and certain dynamics within the Democratic party. Our hosts dig into the details while Tiffany questions whether we should give a sh*t about anything Hunter has to say. The conversation dovetails into a debate about how to get the most from a feckless Democratic party, and a look-back on Obama’s legacy. Breonna Taylor’s killer was finally convicted and sentenced. It’s not the sentence we wanted but it is longer then the one-day sentence that the Trump administration had asked for. We’ll update y’all on the case.

Angela Rye interviews Rodney Taylor’s fiancée, Mildred Pierre. Rodney Taylor didn’t know he was undocumented until he was 17. Earlier this year, I.C.E surrounded his car and arrested him in front of his family. They told him that he’ll be deported back to Liberia without seeing a judge or receiving a hearing, even though he hasn’t been back to Liberia since he was two years old. At 46, he lives in Georgia where he works as a barber. Taylor is a father of seven children who he shares with his fiancée, Mildred. They were engaged shortly before his arrest. This is not the first time that Rodney Taylor has had his life wrongly turned upside down by the justice system. His previous pardoned conviction is how he ended up arrested by ICE this time around...

By Any Means Necessary: Spike Lee & The Making of Malcolm X  Cinema can change attitudes, englighten ignorance, strengthen understanding and faith. In 1992 director Spike Lee would partner with star Denzel Washington and long-time cinematographer (and NYU schoolmate) Ernest Dickerson to bring to the big screen the life of one of the most important firgures of the 20th Century, Malcolm Little to become "Red" to become Malcolm X, to become el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz. In an expansive narrative that covers over four decades and - could be argued - encapsulates the experience of Black life in the history of the United States, Spike Lee's Academy Award ignored film (save Denzel Washington's Best Actor Nomination that was lost to Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman) is certainly one of the great artistic, social, and political achievements of the 20th Century. What started out as a reflection on this thirty-three year old film quickly revealed itself as a subject that would demand two episodes to truly understand Lee, Washington, and Dickerson's masterpiece. This week Mr. Chavez & I dive into the history of the films production (a 27 year odyssey that would see a change of directors, misunderstanding, financial complications, and controversy within the Black Community). This discussion took us to some emotional and thought-provoking places. We are honored to share this with you. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum cut through the NOISE. EVERYONE is talking about Jeffrey Epstein’s “client list,” an alleged list of rich and powerful people who molested children trafficked to them by the billionaire, Epstein. Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, seems to have gone back on the Trump campaign’s promise to release the client list. Now, MAGA world is torn. Some are choosing to trust their dear orange leader while others are bucking Trump’s orders to fall in line, and continuing to pursue the release of the list. This is one of the most important political issues to MANY MAGA voters. And that’s the whole point: is this media cycle about Epstein a big distraction? What might it be distracting us from? As we look ahead to the midterms, some Democrats see this rift in MAGA’s base as an opportunity. Our hosts have some words of warning… And of course we’ll hear from you!

Angela Rye in conversation with Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. McIver has put forward a resolution in the House honoring the victims of the 1967 Newark Rebellion, which she says the city is “still recovering from.” The congresswoman tells us about her new bill AND some of the impacts she expects from Trump’s budget. Congresswoman McIver is also facing assault charges from Trump’s DOJ tied to an incident at an ICE detention center earlier this year, the same incident that saw Mayor Ras Baraka arrested on charges that were quickly dropped. The Congresswoman says the charges against her are similarly “politically motivated.” Support Rep.

On the eve of July 4th, co-authors Jennifer Richmond and Winkfield Twyman joined Equiano Project Head of Content Ada Akpala for an insightful conversation about blackness and race identity with noted podcaster Danielle Romero.  A native of Troy, New York, Danielle discovered one day that her putative French and Irish maternal great grandmother Lola Perot had spent all her married life passing for white in New York. In fact, Lola was born Creole (colored) in Louisiana. In a fascinating roundtable, we explore where does Romero land in our country's obsession with racial identity? What does it mean when a European American discovers the story of one's family was a racial lie? Is it possible that Romero's origin story can bring us closer to connection in our universal humanity? Is the true impact of Danielle's story not her ancestor who passed for white, but that Danielle's mixed ancestry is a lens into our racial future as Americans?  In a sense, Danielle is the tip of a spear. More and more Americans will discover they are of multiple ancestry groups over time. Come join us for an hour with a national leader in the hunt for identity sans race.    Podcast NotesDanielle Romero's Podcast, NYTNThe Equiano Project https://www.theequianoproject.com/My great grandmother hid who she was. 20 years later I understand why | Opinion, The Tennessean, Danielle RomeroRace Is Beginning to Bore Me, Winkfield Twyman, Jr. The Legacies of Black Pioneers: The Problem with Black Excellence with Ada Akpala, The Dissidents PodcastAre Light-Skinned People the White People of the Black Community? Winkfield Twyman, Jr.The Souls of Black Folk, Winkfield Twyman, Jr.This is Your Brain on AI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dissidents Podcast

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum cover a VERY important topic: housing and financial literacy. We’re doing some hardcore adulting today y’all. Why is it so hard to buy a home these days? How do we build wealth for a down payment–or anything for that matter?

They’ll include some advice and personal stories from our hosts (and guest) on how you can secure your finances and get your life. PLUS stories and tips on how to navigate systemic inequities when it comes to things like securing a loan. Our guest, Elizabeth Booker Houston, is an influencer and political commentator with a Juris Doctorate (scholarly legal mastermind) and a Masters in public health. In 2017, she relocated to Washington, DC to serve in the US Food and Drug Administration. In the years since, she has combined her love of politics, law, science, and comedy into a second career as a political standup comedienne, writer, and content creator.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum grapple with the proposed federal budget. Trump’s “big beautiful” budget is poised to be the largest cut to the social safety net in generations, and the largest transfer of wealth from low income to high income Americans EVER. Millions of Americans will lose health coverage and access to SNAP or food stamps. Countless other federal programs are being cut while the budget for the military and mass deportation adds hundreds of billions of dollars, and tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans are extended. How do we respond? Funding for research, especially medical research into diseases like Sickle Cell that disproportionately affect the Black community, has already faced cuts. The Trump administration continues to end programs that could be construed as “DEI,” which in effect is any program aimed at helping the Black community. The verdict is in for Sean “Diddy” Combs and it seems like the prosecution over reached. He was accused of and charged with some heinous acts for sure. But anytime a prominent Black man is attacked by the justice system, it can bring up some complicated emotions. And of course we’ll hear from you!

Power Outages. Natural Disasters. Political Collapse. Here’s How We Stay Ready. This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address the most vital topic of all: survival. The Iran-Israel conflict has a lot of us thinking about nuclear war–although it doesn’t necessarily take a war for society to collapse. Sharon Ross, AKA Ms. Afrovivalist, is a survivalist, a huntress, and a “prepper.” The logic of preparing for societal collapse feels more, well, logical than ever before. Sharon tells us why she moved into the wilderness and shares some basic survival tips for us normies. Check her out at https://www.afrovivalist.com/ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Afrovivalists The victory of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “democratic socialist,” in NYC’s primary for Mayor may herald a new era for the Democrats. He won by a surprisingly large margin, winning over many Black voters who had previously supported his opponent, Cuomo. As the Democrats search for a way forward after a devastating defeat in 2024, will Mamdani’s victory pull them toward a more populist, socialist platform? And of course we’ll hear from you!
