EP 539 "Africa is TERRIFYING": Gun Violence, Bleaching & The Motherland

In this latest edition of the recurring The Two Kens collaborative series, Fong and Kemp explain both the irony of how he died and the Right's insistence on nationwide posthumous empathy and acclaim for him. Using his own words to substantiate their opinions, they make the case that Kirk's inflammatory rhetoric should not now be santized, nor should he be lionized and honored as an American hero and icon of free speech. 

In this utterly informative sit-down session, we got to speak with assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at BGSU and Spring 2025 ICS Faculty Fellow Meagan Docherty to talk about gun violence reduction and prevention in Toldeo, Ohio.  She identifies gun violence as a public health crisis that disproportionately impacts children and minority communities. Docherty stresses the idea that gun violence prevention and reduction is an issue that must be addressed collaboratively with scholars, politicians, and community engagement. To tackle this issue Docherty works with community groups such as the Toledo Community action table and Moms Demand Action to gather a community perspective, as she believes no progress can be made without the people who are directly impacted by gun violence. Docherty hopes to increase visibility surrounding human health and safety, children, racial equity and address gun violence prevention on both local and state levels. Want to delve even deeper into this important issue? Watch Dr. Docherty's public talk on our YouTube channel by following this link https://youtu.be/N6S8YtOBQec?si=uvsTGKHNL8XpQecW.A transcript for this episode can be found here.

Should politics be off-limits in church? Reverend Clay Stauffer doesn't think so. Two months after a member of his congregation was killed in The Covenant School shooting, Rev. Stauffer invited his community to gather in their sanctuary for a discussion about gun violence — a conversation most churches would rather avoid. Host Julie Rose talks with him about what compelled him to do it, why he believes churches should be “big tents” where people with different views can still talk and stay connected, and how avoiding politics in church might actually make divisions worse. They also explore why people of faith might be especially equipped to lead with empathy and peace. Clay Stauffer is the senior minister at Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville, professor of moral leadership at Vanderbilt University, and author of “What the World Needs Now: Virtue and Character in an Age of Chaos.” Learn more about Dr. Stauffer's work at https://claystauffer.com/.

America's Societal Meltdown Explained | Karel Cast 25-122 Are we living in the most triggered era in American history? From outrage over a simple cotton plant in a hotel hallway to MAGA backlash against Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, the culture wars never stop. Add in mass sho0tings at churches and politicians calling for more armed police, and you start to see a disturbing pattern: America has become addicted to being offended. In this episode of The Karel Cast, Karel dives into the nonstop outrage cycle—how people are constantly looking for reasons to be offended, and how social media algorithms feed the fire. From hypocrisy around faith and firearms to ignorance about Puerto Rico being part of the U.S., it's a wild ride through the landscape of modern American “trigger culture.”

In this Sunday homily, Fr. Meyer reflects on the Gospel of the rich man and Lazarus while confronting the tragic reality of gun violence in America.   He reminds us: “He knew his name… and did nothing.”   Fr. Meyer calls us to see how fatherlessness, silence, and complacency contribute to a culture of violence — and how men of faith are called to rise up. Drawing on St. Paul's words, he challenges us to pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.   This is more than a reflection on violence — it is a call for fathers, brothers, and Christians everywhere to raise up men of God in a broken world.  

In 2020, guns became the leading cause of death for children in the United States, surpassing car accidents.

Dr. Carol Anderson is the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of African American Studies at Emory University. She is the author of several books including the New York Times bestseller White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, and One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy. Her most recent book is The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America. Dr. Anderson has appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, PBS NewsHour, ​The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Democracy Now!. She has also been featured in the Huffington Post, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Anderson explains how white rage, the color line, gun culture, and gun violence are knotted together in American history and life. She details how the Black Freedom Struggle -- and Black Americans' claims on their fundamental Constitutional rights, civil rights, and human freedom, including the inherent right of self-defense -- are often viewed as an existential threat by White America. This is especially true in the Age of Trump. Dr. Anderson also warns that America will never be able to end its epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings as long as gun ownership remains intimately connected to whiteness, white masculinity, and a fear of Black people and other non-whites as seen with “stand your ground laws” and other forms of State violence. Chauncey DeVega shares an update about his absence and how he has been experiencing his own version of the iconic hammer fight from Park Chan-wook's film Old Boy. In that context, Chauncey reflects on how America's collapse into mass disinhibition and authoritarianism has greatly accelerated because of last week's horrific events in Utah. And Chauncey goes for a walk around his neighborhood and shares some of the amazing, wondrous, and disturbing things he encountered. This includes offering pastoral care to an honored elder who hit a woman with his truck, and learning some life wisdom from a man who is dying from prostate cancer. This street prophet -- who had a plastic catheter that was visible outside of his pants -- was warning all the young men outside the local drug store to get their annual physicals or they could end up dying a painful death like him. This week's conversation with Carol Anderson is from the archives of The Chauncey DeVega Show and was recorded in July of 2021. I was saving it for an extreme crisis moment such as the one we "the Americans" are experiencing right now. This conversation is eerily and frighteningly prescient and timely.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

The final episode in our Back to School series focuses on two contemporary books that tell stories about gun violence. First, Jason Reynolds' 2017 novel in verse Long Way Down centers on a moment of decision that occurs when a teenage boy is on his way to avenge his brother. In today's episode, Reynolds speaks with NPR's David Greene about avoiding one-dimensional characters and promoting literacy. Then, Angie Thomas' 2017 debut The Hate U Give is about a girl who attends school in a neighborhood that's very different from where she lives. In an interview with NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Thomas discusses codeswitching and combatting the “ghetto girl” stereotype.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Charlie Kirk's assassination has rattled people on both sides of the aisle and terrified those whose jobs, like Charlie's, involve talking about politics on the public stage. Jon reflects on the aftermath of the killing, what he finds most alarming, and his disappointment with leaders on the right and followers on the left. Then, the Bulwark's Will Sommer joins the show to break down how important Charlie Kirk was to the MAGA movement, how the right is reacting to new information about his killer, and how Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly are all scrambling for control of his legacy and Turning Point USA.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trymaine Lee's new memoir, A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America, is part history, and part personal. He traces the bloody history Black Americans have with firearms, recalls the gun violence in his own youth and follows his ancestors' path back to Ghana. The book reads like a plea for people to see the humanity of those lost to gun violence — and for this country to care enough to act. Lee spoke with Tonya Mosley about the toll of writing about Black death. Also, Kevin Whitehead reviews a new anthology of Joni Mitchell's jazz connections. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Almost immediately after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, videos were circulating on social media, and many people saw the gruesome crime without meaning to just by logging on. Adam Clark Estes, senior technology correspondent at Vox, talks about how little content moderation big tech companies are doing these days, how the algorithm fed off people pausing to watch the video, and how content like this may traumatize vast swaths of people.

How should Christians react to political violence? In this deeply reflective episode, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford tackle hard questions about faith, politics, and the role of the church in society. With a week marked by tragedy, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and a series of shootings, the hosts explore what a kingdom response looks like in these turbulent times.  From condemning all acts of violence equally to affirming the dignity of every human being, they emphasize the need for a cruciformity—a life shaped by the values and teachings of Jesus. They discuss navigating cultural challenges with wisdom, rejecting the polarizing rage economy, and fostering a community rooted in justice, love, and mutual accountability. How can the church rise above partisan responses and embody the upside-down kingdom of God? What does it mean to lament, honor complex legacies, and act with hope amidst despair?  This conversation challenges listeners to rethink their approach to cultural issues, faith, and the call to stand as exiles and strangers in today's society.
