POPULARITY
There's been an uptick in far-right/christo-fascist content on almost all of my various feeds lately. I've personally got a VERY niche "far left"/"abolitionist" social media feed, but recently this wildly problematic propaganda has been sneaking into every corner. But it's not just me. Trump appointed a grifter to sell "prayer" that would heal your illnesses and give you wealth for the ridiculously egregious cost of $1000. This person is an official white house representative being paid very well by our hard earned tax dollars. Mark Wahlberg and Gwen Stefani are selling a subscription based prayer app. A pastor sold "God Coin" crypto scheme and rug pulled his supporters. Spoiler alert: God's grace isn't hidden behind a paywall.

This week, the whole episode IS the Bridging The Gap Segment. We conclude with part 2 of Frederick Douglass's Denouncement Speech of 1888. In Columbia SC at the capitol building on June 27th, 2015 Thomas Washington, Tribal Raine and Max Parthas recorded the reading of "I Denounce the So-Called Emancipation as a Stupendous Fraud" by Fredrick Douglas (1888) in a 9 part series. They are powerful eye-opening and moving presentations that can be used for education purposes with students, viewing and conversation with friends or family, or just to show someone the truth. On a historical level, the readings were done June 27th at the South Carolina Statehouse. The day after Reverend and state Senator Clementa Pinckney, (one of nine victims in the June 17, 2015, shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC), lay in state at the capitol with his body having to pass under the rebel flag. This was the same day and same place Bree Newsome cut the confederate flag down just yards away. The monument we recorded at is one of the few in America dedicated to the history of the African Diaspora. In the center of the display is a marble dais with the 4 stones of the 4 African nations where Enslaved Peoples in SC originated. A direct connection to those ancestral lands. Our intention was to speak to the state and the nation using not our words, but those of a man who was arguably the greatest statesman we have ever know. His words ring true today. A sad truth that most have never heard. Hidden and muted on purpose because it didn't fit the false narrative. The productions include news clips of current events (at the time) which drive all of his points home like a prophet. During this black history month of 2023, we will play the Denouncement series on Abolition Today for the first time in its entirety. This week, the whole episode IS the Bridging The Gap Segment.

On June 17, 2015, a white extremist shot and killed nine Black people in the Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina as they gathered for a bible study group. This wasn't the first time Mother Emanuel had been attacked. In the 1820s, white people burned down Mother Emanuel in retaliation over a failed slave rebellion. For years, the congregation was forced to meet in secret. But through all the violence and backlash, the Black congregants relied on their faith, and during Reconstruction, they rebuilt. Mother Emanuel's history mirrors the story of Black America. Through the centuries, faith has helped Black people find freedom, community, and strength, even in the face of violence.This tradition of faith in the face of backlash holds true today. Trymaine talks with Bree Newsome Bass, whose incredible protest of scaling a 30-foot pole to take down the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state capitol made her an icon of the movement. Bree's actions led to the permanent removal of the Confederate flag from the state house. And she tells Trymaine that faith was the foundation of it all.(Original release date: February 17, 2022)Thoughts? Feedback? Story ideas?

I dare say most of us have something we're hiding. For many of us it's something relatively mundane and harmless, but that may still cause us some embarrassment if exposed. For some it could be something for which you're largely blameless, but that you're still willing to lie about to keep it a secret. And for others, still, it could be a crime you've masterminded. In any case, it is rational to fear having certain truths revealed at your expense, as shown in the instant horror classic His House, and Bree Newsome's short horror film gem, Wake.For episode sources, scripts and more, visit healthyfears.com.

When greedy power-trippers perpetrate unspeakable acts of exploitation, they often rationalize their loathsome acts after the fact. Such is the case with the Atlantic slave trade. European kidnappers of African people used racism to justify slavery and enforce a shameful system of forced labor and a disgraceful social hierarchy. Learn how the ideas of 15th-century Europe have reverberated through the centuries and catch up on some of the hopeful antiracist things happening to overcome the tragic legacies of racism and slavery.

Ryan Shorosky, photographer and long-haul trucker, built a significant Instagram following while driving a semi around the country. We he made some of his scenic images featuring his signature technicolor skies available for sale, many of his fans jumped at the opportunity. But as the months went by, and the excuses piled on, people started to get suspicious. VICE tracked down some of the victims and Shorosky himself. Is it a case of fraud, or unexpected success coupled with an itinerant life that made fulfillment difficult?Also on the show: Ken Light published a new book documenting an "empire in decline," Twitter bans a PhD researcher for posting an image of Bree Newsome taking down a confederate flag, a stunning photo of Simone Biles and other Olympic photos, and who says NYC is a cold, heartless place???

It's more than just Derek Chauvin. The whole system is guilty.American filmmaker, musician, speaker, and activist from North Carolina, Bree Newsome Bass joins us on Women Fight Back to discuss Chauvin's sentencing and the right-wing attacks on teaching critical race theory across the U.S.Bree is best known for her act of civil disobedience on June 27, 2015, when she was arrested for removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house grounds in theaftermath of the Charleston Shooting. She shares more on her perspective of abolition and the call to defund the police.
In June 2015 an American anti-racist activist climbed a flagpole on the South Carolina state house grounds to take down the Confederate flag. The protest followed the killing of 9 black people at a historic Charleston church by a white supremacist who was pictured holding the flag. The Confederate flag was the battle flag of the troops who fought to retain slavery during America's civil war. For African Americans the flag is a symbol of slavery, segregation and black subordination. Bree Newsome Bass talks to Farhana Haider about her act of protest.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 48 °F, and today looks pretty great. Expect highs in the 70s and sunshine while we wait for rain to move in for the next couple of days. The pollen continues to disgust me, though. Check out this gross video of pollen bursting forth from a tennis court via NBC12’s Andrew Freiden. Blech.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,310 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 14 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 148 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 57, Henrico: 61, and Richmond: 30). Since this pandemic began, 1,248 people have died in the Richmond region. The seven-day average of new reported cases across the state, which I think I might just start including in this paragraph on the regular, broke 1,500 yesterday (1,527). That’s an 18.6% increase since the recent low of 1,287 back on March 16th. I think it’s important to keep an eye on these creeping numbers so we don’t suddenly end up like Michigan, which leads the nation with a seven-day average of 7,284 new reported cases daily. For context that’s a rate of 73 per 100,000 people, while Virginia sits at just 18.This article in the New York Times about the tension between that state and the federal government is fascinating. Michigan’s Governor Whitmer demands more vaccine doses, and the federal government says she should instead shut things down until the outbreaks cool off. Remember the added layer of how last time Governor Whitmer shut things down, her life was threatened and protesters stormed the statehouse—so kind of a big counter incentive for her to impose any new restrictions at all. Read through to the second half of the article for gross sentences about the blatant political nature of the decisions to shut things down, which would save actual lives: “State Representative Steve Johnson, a Republican, said he doubted that many people would comply with a lockdown order. ‘For her to try to continue those measures would have been political suicide,” he said.’” Cool cool cool.Tonight at 6:00 PM, you can slake your hot thirst for rezoning content by joining a virtual public meeting about the rezoning of Greater Scott’s Addition. Download and flip through this presentation from a few months back if you want to come prepared. The proposed rezoning would take a large swath of parking lots and industrial wasteland north of the train tracks and south of the highway and upzone it from M-1 Light Industrial and M-2 Heavy Industrial to a more humane TOD-1 Transit-Oriented Nodal and B-7 Mixed-Use Business. That means more places for people and more places for people to do things. While there are very few home owners adjacent to this rezoning, I’m sure we can expect the same cast of characters dying 1,000 deaths over the potential to add density.Eric Kolenich at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that yesterday the University of Richmond faculty senate “announced it had ratified a vote of no-confidence in the board’s top member, rector Paul Queally, calling for him to resign.” Additionally, it sounds like the University will reconsider its original decision and process that led to leaving the names of racists on some of its buildings.I wish I could find out more about this, but a press release from the City has the exciting news that they’ve hired a new Director of Housing. Sherrill Hampton will serve as the sort-of-new department’s new head: “Ms. Hampton has more than 25 years of experience in the affordable housing and community development arenas, and has worked in senior management roles in non-profit, governmental, and educational sectors. She holds a BS in Social Science from Claflin University and a JD from the University of South Carolina School of Law.” I eagerly await someone to do an interview with this person!Minor league baseball returns to Richmond (theoretically) on May 4th, for the first time in 610 days, when the Flying Squirrels take on the Hartford Yard Goats. That’s 21 days from now, which feels too far into the future to know anything at all, but this does feel like an important cultural marker in our emergence from the pandemic. : Baseball! At the moment, the Governor’s current restrictions put a 30% capacity cap on outdoor sports venues which, according to this decade-old RTD " article, would be around 2,800 folks for the Diamond. That’s a little less than half the number of people who typically attend a Squirrels game. So I dunno! Do your own risk calculations, but a fully vaccinated person, wearing a mask, sitting outside, distanced from other people seems like a low risk proposition?This past Sunday, Minnesota Police Officer Kim Potter shot andkilled 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop. As we read and learn more about yet another police killing of a Black person, and as people in Minnesota and elsewhere take to the streets in protest, I wanted to link to two things this morning. First, this Instagram post from @coloredgirlsbiketoo, which talks about mobility justice and how Black movement has been criminalized. I like this bit: “We must defund the police by removing police from traffic enforcement, now, and instead invest in Just Streets.” Second, spend some time scrolling through Bree Newsome’s timeline. She always has smart and thought provoking things to say in these moments. Like: “I agree that ending low-level traffic enforcement is good as a step toward abolishing the institution of policing altogether but Wright is not dead solely b/c of that. The nature of policing is such that he could’ve been killed by another [officer] that same day just b/c he was walking.”This morning’s longreadLife Lessons from a Moab TrailerA look back at decades of an imperfect life lived (mostly) in the desert. I think some of the best longreads I find come from Outside Magazine.During the ferry trip, what I should have been contemplating was how our friendship had come to resemble a kind of marriage. I didn’t yet know that a marriage is, in addition to a romantic and carnal match, an economic relationship built on trust. One partner might contribute more of the money; the other might do more of the labor. In our case, I was doing countless hours of unpaid work on the trailer, while Wendy was undercharging on the rent and letting me sublet at will as I jetted around the continent. She had become my patroness, enabling my writer’s life, letting me live alone in a secluded spot where I didn’t have to work half the year. Our arrangement required that neither or us lie or cheat or get greedy. And it worked.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DayMy mom had this set of books but was missing the first volume.

On Episode 2 we discuss the Inauguration and the individualistic culture that plagues our politics. White folks must begin to see the value in “we” if we ever want to begin to right our society. So many Black activists have informed my view of this reality, some of which I note below. Thanks for listening! Quick Note: The term used “crazy republicans” that was used in this episode is wrong for two reasons: It takes a term “crazy” which has been categorically used in negative contexts that can hurt those with mental disabilities. While language is an individual choice, I do not want to perpetuate this in the context I used it. Those who stormed the capital were not uneducated, simple minded, hilly billy folk like the media and others try to tell. High level government officials, Ivy League alumni, and intelligent people attacked the nations capitol. White supremacy is not something around a lack of education but an ideology that is enforced through education and systems of development. Regardless, forgive this contextual usage of the word. I will continue to strive to do better.

There's certainly a lot to tackle in regard to the events that occurred at the Capitol on January 6th. In this episode, I offer my analysis on the need for accountability going forward and what that might look like. Tune in as I dissect the feasibility of resignation, invoking the 25th amendment, and impeachment, as well as the other parties involved in the coup attempt. *Disclaimer* This episode was recorded before the house reconvened on Monday, Jan 11th and may be missing updates since then.

Bree Newsome is a writer, artist, and activist who drew national attention in 2015 when she climbed the flagpole in front of the South Carolina Capitol building and removed a confederate battle flag that was originally raised in 1961 as a racist statement of opposition to the Civil Rights Movement and lunch counter sit-ins occurring at the time. The massacre of nine black parishioners by a white supremacist at Emanuel AME Zion Church in Charleston reignited controversy over South Carolina’s continued endorsement of a hate symbol. Newsome’s act of defiance against the culture of white supremacy has been memorialized in photographs, artwork and film and has become a symbol of resistance and the empowerment of women.You can keep up with Bree and her work on Twitter and Facebook.Share your own Hope Notes and Hard Pills with us on social media using #HHPpodcast!

To dismantle systems and build the world we want to live in we must be conscious of the culture we create in this moment. Systemic racism is the “through line” of all issues so we must center anti-racism in our actions. Bree Newsome is an artist and human rights activist. We caught up with her […] The post S2 Ep 25: Realism w/ Bree Newsome appeared first on Hip Hop Caucus.
Activist and civil rights organizer Bree Newsome Bass speaks with Rev. Jim Wallis about the importance of removing symbols of hate and the need for racial reckoning."One of the things that is significant about the pandemic era, it has really shown how interconnected we are. Just the way that the pandemic spreads, the way that the lack of access to PPE in one community causes it to spread to other communities, shows that there really is no such thing as individuality. Past a certain extent, it's an entirely interconnected society. A pandemic has no inherent biases. It is just a virus that is in search of lungs. It impacts communities based on who has access to resources. And it's as simple as that."
Today’s 30-minute walk is dedicated to a living legend, the fearless Bree Newsome Bass.On June 27, 2015, Bree Newsome committed one of the greatest acts of civil disobedience seen in our lifetime when she scaled the 30-foot flag pole on the grounds of the South Carolina State House and removed the confederate flag. Carried literally by the faith of her ancestors, who’d been enslaved in South Carolina. Bree, a woman of just 30 with no training, made the ascent of a lifetime. She climbed up the flagpole in a defiant act of bravery and snatched down a flag that was raised as a symbol of protest against the civil rights movement and the fight for Black liberation. The saying goes, “If not us, who? If not now, when?” After nine Black members of Emanuel AME Church were massacred during bible study by a white supremacist, Bree Newsome said she realized that now was the time for courage and she never looked back.There is so much to learn from this young Black warrior queen, who upon reaching the top of the flag pole yelled down to the police below saying, “You come against me with hatred and oppression and violence. I come against you in the name of God. This flag comes down today.” That was some Miss Celie level, "until you do right by me," energy that unleashed a wave of justice that five years later is still reverberating across this country as monuments to the confederacy continue to fall.Bree Newsome is about that life and we're going to get into it on today’s call! And by the end, you’ll be walking away with some strategies and ideas to not only help the revolution but to also start toppling the personal monuments in your own life. The monuments you have built to things and people that never served you and should no longer be allowed to take up space in your life.Join the second edition of GirlTrek’s Black History Bootcamp at blackhistorybootcamp.com to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each episode.

Bree is a Tisch School of Arts-educated artist, a Millennial, and an activist whose climbing gear is displayed in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. from her successful climb to remove the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s statehouse.Support the show (https://OWGTPodcast.contactin.bio)

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. On this episode we’re celebrating the Women In Horror Month, and we were lucky enough to be joined by Ashlee Blackwell from Graveyard Shift Sisters to discuss the role of black women in horror films. In a bit of a departure from our usual format we’ll be discussing three short films instead of two feature length films: R. Shanea Williams Paralysis, Maria Wilson’s Venefica, and Bree Newsome’s Wake. First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Thanks! We begin by talking about what we’ve done in horror recently. Ashlee talks about seeing The Ritual and the current season of Syfy’s Channel Zero, as well as the Exorcist TV series. Justin talks about rereading Joe Hill’s horror fantasy comic series Locke & Key. Liam talks about reading Red Dragon. Ashlee begins by talking about why she started Graveyard Shift Sisters. She talks about being a “minority within a minority” and starting the website in order to bring black women in from the outskirts of the horror community and within horror films, and to highlight the role black women often play in horror films. She notes that the underrepresentation of black women in horror films, both starring in and consuming, is something that needs to be addressed. The problem of horror being a culture somewhat resistant to addressing issues of race and misrepresentation/underrepresentation is discussed, as is the concept of the ‘white gaze’ in horror film. There is a brief discussion on Jordan Peele’s work in the film Get Out and how it brought to light subjects some people were uncomfortable with. First up is 2010’s Wake. Ashlee talks about her acquaintance with the film, and how it personifies the idea of a “Southern Gothic horror film.” She talks about the recent phenomenon of black women staying single, or “black women ain’t gonna get married”, and the desirability of black women as a whole. The phenomenon of rootwork is touched upon, and black horror’s highlight of non-Christian religions and folk magic is discussed. Ashlee argues that the three bystanding women in the film represent society as a whole telling black women they aren’t good enough for a man. Some of the technical aspects of the film are discussed, as are some of the tragic aspects of the film. The idea of gaining power in a world in which you have none is discussed. The concept of short films being great because of their length is briefly touched upon. Up next is R. Shanea Williams’ 2015’s Paralysis. Ashlee talks about her background with the filmmaker and about being a fan of her other works. She talks about Williams’ ability to craft well defined characters, as well as her ability to craft mood and tone. The difference between the feeling of “horror” and “terror” is discussed. Justin talks the recent upswing in interest in the concept of sleep paralysis, and how the film deals with the idea of questioning ones own sanity. The idea of which is scarier (external forces acting upon you, or your own mind creating something) is examined. The idea of the unknown, and the uncertainty around it, being truly scary is touched upon. The lack of access to mental health care black women suffer from is discussed. Ashlee discusses seeing the film with an all black audience and how that lent to the experience. Finally we have 2016’s Venefica. We talk about how the film was written, directed, and starred by one person, the unspoken way some of the more horrific elements of the film are introduced. Justin talks about how he loved the abrupt ending of...

This week we have a double episode release for Black History Month! Historian Mari N. Crabtree is Assistant Professor of African American Studies at the College of Charleston and works on lynching, narrativity, and memory in the South. She researches and teaches Black history not far from Emanuel AME Church, the site of the massacre committed by Dylann Roof, and in South Carolina, where Bree Newsome took down the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds. We talk with Professor Crabtree about how the past collapses into the present amidst the protests against and counter-protests for Bree Newsome's talk at the College for Black History Month. Mari, Liz Wayne, and Xine Yao discuss Dr Martin Luther King Jr, the institution of Black History Month, the North/South dichotomy -- and how Mari is teaching a class based on our episode about Asian American and African American crosscultural influences!

On this glorious day we celebrated American independence, but also had to chat about all of the flap that has arisen around flying the Confederate flag. Some in South Carolina wondered should they take it down, if they had enough votes to get it down or were Black folks just being too darn sensitive. You know it’s not every day you get to see a symbol of terrorism flying above a state capital. Then along came a hero. Bree Newsome, had enough of the in-fighting, so she ripped that flag from its pole and threw it on the ground! How American! The BBR core of The C.O., Masta Talka, and Angry Engineer lit fireworks in celebration of the might Bree and giggled at all of the Donald’s lost sponsorship, P. Poppa Diddy Pop’s clumsy azz and that Ignant Black Tea Partier, who just needs some friends. Of course Kurtis Blow, Nice & Smooth, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Raekwon the Chef, Redman, the Four Owls and our man E.X. and so many others joined in to munch on some bar-b-que and eat potato salad.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS A black male in Ireland asked, what is the 4th of July to black people whose churches are being burned? This summer's "fireworks" have been confined to black houses of worship, as more than a half dozen churches have been burned; none have been ruled acts of Racism (hate crimes), but several have been deemed acts of arson. The blazes have generated much less attention than the removal of "Dukes of Hazzard" - a television show canceled 30 years ago - and all things resembling the Confederate flag. Whites have decreed Bree Newsome their official "black friend" of the month. Last week, Newsome and her "White ally" removed the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state Capitol. She was quickly shackled and jailed, the flag was immediately replaced, and Riley Curry was no longer Whites' favorite black person. Rhodes College professor Zandria Robinson did not receive the same reverence for her critique of Whitefolks. She, like Shannon Gibney and Marylin Zuniga, was reminded that lesson plans are not to include critiques of Racism/Whites. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://tiny.cc/ledjb CALL IN NUMBER: 760.569.7676 CODE 564943# SKYPE: FREECONFERENCECALLHD.7676 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

Dr. Burt Ashe always saw himself as a sort of a renegade. Edgy. Bohemian. But no one else seemed to agree. "The way that I presented to the world was completely, just amazingly, conventional," he says. So he decided to change his look. "I thought maybe that me growing dreadlocks might be a kind of pathway to allow what was inside to be presented outside." In doing so, he learned about all the presumptions the world projects onto black people with 'locked hair. Jai had 'locks for 7 years, and like Ashe, he was often asked if he was Jamaican. His book, "Twisted: My Dreadlock Chronicles," explores the history of dreadlocks, and details his own relationship with the look. The natural hair movement continues to gain steam with black women, but what about men? Ashe says he got some interesting responses from them while working on the book. Like, "It's just hair man you're overthinking this," and, "Dude, your relationship with your hair is a little too...." "It's sort of a questioning of my masculinity because I decided to talk about my hair and to reveal the anxiety that comes along with 'locking ones hair." But he says there's a significance to black hair, regardless of gender—that we choose our hairstyles for a reason, whether or not we can put it into words. "I think it's time we start thinking out loud about the cultural realities and personal realities of what we do with our hair means." In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, we talk about #WhoIsBurningBlackChurches, and the history of domestic and racist terrorism in the United States. On this Independence Day weekend, we wondered whether the foundational ideals of our country—as a nation of immigrants, where freedom from persecution is possible—still hold true today. At the same time we're seeing a rise in racially-motivated violence, like the Charleston shooting and the burning of black churches, we're also seeing some striking acts of civil disobedience. Bree Newsome becmse a household name after removing the Confederate flag from South Carolina's statehouse. And someone in Boston painted "Black Lives Matter" and dumped red paint on a statue of Christopher Columbus. On a lighter note, we also recap what we loved about the BET Awards, and argue about which members of #TeamStrangeFruit cried last week in the County Clerk's office, and which simply had allergies.
