EP 46: Anti-Fatness + Pride Month (feat Da'Shaun Harrison) by Hella Black Podcast by Delency Parham and Blake Simons

This episode I talk about my journey to body positivity and the dangers of being anti-fat! I'm joined by my sister Kayla J later in the episode. We discuss an amazing an important article by Da'Shaun Harrison https://www.kingofreads.com/the-conflict-between-thick-and-fat/ and it's a ki!

This is part two of the two part interview with Josh and Jared about their own politics and experiences. Josh and Jared discuss the churches they went into growing up and their thoughts on religion in general. They also share their opinions on the complex role of religion in political life, revolutionary movements, and a post revolutionary society. Josh and Jared also answer a couple of listener questions, discussing approaches to dealing with anticommunist propaganda, talking a little bit about the relationship between anarchists and socialists and the immediate need for leftists of all types to continue to be increasingly prioritize praxis over post-revolutionary theoretical debates.   They answer a listener question about abusers within organizing spaces and some strategies for people to deal with those things at an organizational level or as a participants, depending on the dynamics within the setting.

Jared and Josh discuss the degree to which they had or didn’t have political mentors growing up. Jared talks about Kwame Ture's (f/k/a Stokley Carmichael) influence on his father, and how that shaped some of the actions his father took during his own period of radicalization. Jared talks about how his father’s confrontation with the state at the 1968 DNC in Chicago lead to his basic refutation of armed revolution within a US context. Josh discusses how he learned to analyze politics not so much from mentors, but by observing different relationships growing up. Both Jared and Josh discuss how state violence compelled them into political activism, organizing and protest. Josh also talks about how for him the murder of Trayvon Martin and the lack of justice in that case was very impactful for him, growing up in same area of South Florida.    Josh spoke about the dangers of reformism as it applies to state violence and the short-sightedness of many of the reformist demands that came out certain strains of the Black Lives Matter movement, including the big push for body cameras.    Both Josh and Jared discuss how working within anti-racist and state violence reform organizing and watching the rise of hyper visible (neo)liberal figures out of those platforms who built their own fame sometimes at the expense of the movement as a whole.  

Da'Shaun Harrison is a student at Morehouse College studying Sociology and African-American Studies. He is a Black Queer organizer and abolitionist in Atlanta, GA, where he also has the privilege of serving as Editor-in-Chief of the newly-founded digital publication, Queer Black Millennial.   We talk to Da’Shaun about the time period in which he went from mainstream to more radical politics, his involvement with the first major protest against Hillary Clinton with #AUCShutItDown during the 2016 election cycle. Da’Shaun talks about his time as a sex worker, while being homeless after coming out to his family and how these experiences shaped his praxis as an organizer and a writer. Da’Shaun talks about Rainbow Capitalism and Pinkwashing in relation to Israel and the US and how the limited notions of what queer liberation looks like within mainstream lesbian and gay organizing has lead Da’Shaun to embrace a more anti-capitalist politic.   Finally we talk to Da’Shaun in-depth about his piece “The Black barbershop is both toxic and intimate for cashed Black men,” and the reactions to it.

It isn't unusual to see homoeroticism in hypermasculine spaces - like the locker room, the wrestling ring, or the military barracks. But what about the barbershop? It's a social and community hub and where black masculinity is centered. But you''ll also encounter homophobia there, and for many queer black men, it doesn't feel like a safe space. So where does that leave LGBTQ black men who need that sense of community (or just a haircut)? We talk about the black barbershop - good and bad - on this week's show. Our guest is Da'Shaun Harrison, who recently tackled the subject in an essay for the Black Youth Project. Plus, actor Lee Doud joins us to talk about anti-Asian bias in the gay community, particularly when it comes to dating and desire.
