This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum define our democracy (what’s left of it). Nowadays it’s popular to say that the USA is a “democracy in decline.” But what does that actually mean when for many of us the system has been failing! Our hosts identify specific areas where our democracy has crumbled and begin to answer the question: exactly HOW and WHY has our democracy failed? This will be an ongoing conversation, and we’d love your input, send us a video! Speaking of ongoing conversations, we hear your pushback to this idea that we ought to stand in solidarity with migrants. In a video we received, one of y’all was also questioning the idea that there could ever be self-sufficient communities for Black and Brown folks. We’ll play that video so the hosts can respond to your criticism. We love being in conversation with y’all, even when we disagree! We invite you to think radically, consult your local communities, and imagine how our democracy can be salvaged–or completely reconstructed??

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with what I believe is an original song for this BET+ Christmas film. We open with a dream sequence of Nancy being crowned the Queen of Christmas. Both Doris and Julia wake up suddenly—apparently from having the same dream?Doris, Julia, and Nancy are neighbors who compete in the local Christmas decorating competition, but Doris and Julia cannot stand Nancy. It's not just that she always wins—it's also that she only tips $1 on a $300 hair job Doris does for her, and then walks into Julia's bakery to announce she won't be eating any of the baked goods.Then comes bad news: the church's annual Christmas play is canceled. Bishop Tony is just too tired to organize it this year.But their acting skills won't go to waste—because director Patrick Saint Thomas is coming to town to cast his upcoming movie, and he's hoping to find some untapped talent within the church community. If you get a golden ticket in your mailbox, that means you've been invited to audition.Doris, Julia, and Nancy all receive invites. Patrick's assistant lets them know that Mr. Saint Thomas won't just be judging based on acting ability—he's also looking for genuine Christmas spirit.And so, the battle begins. The women all start competing fiercely, which apparently is exactly what Patrick Saint Thomas wants to see.Eventually, Doris and Julia realize they're tearing their families apart. Their husbands are furious.Patrick Saint Thomas calls all three women in—Nancy included—and it turns out he's just some white guy who gets a weird thrill from watching Black women argue? It's... not great. Doris and Julia walk away from the project. Nancy has the final decision, and she turns it down too.In the end, the three women reconcile and become friends. They celebrate Christmas together—and we love that.

The scientist couldn't believe what he was seeing. Every other sample of cells he'd seen died quickly in his lab, but these cells, from a poor Black woman, doubled every 24 hours! He had to get more of them – at any cost. _____________ 2-Minute Black History is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

Hey lady! As a Black woman you know all too well the million different ways we have to command respect as we navigate our daily lives.

Today, I'm talking about something I just made up called White Derangement Syndrome. I'll explain what it is, where it comes from, and how it works. It mostly shows up with some race-hustling Black people who use it to push their own angle. If you heard my three-part series on Trump Derangement Syndrome (episode 3158), you'll get the idea — people going crazy over stuff Trump says or does. This is like that, but about race.  Show Notes:  [02:45]#1 Some black people have been indoctrinated into believing anything that goes against white people or allegedly upsets or annoys white people. [09:59]#2 The Real White Supremacy. [18:51]#3 Too many people in general, regardless of race or background make the mistake of thinking that other people are thinking about you a lot more than they're actually thinking about you.  [21:26]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3158: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained Next Steps: ---

Acclaimed author Rachel Khong explores the themes in her newest novel Real Americans, including what it means to bridge cultural and generational divides within families; superstar poet Danez Smith reads from their latest collection Bluff and tells us what poetry can and cannot accomplish; and singer-songwriter Danielia Cotton chats about her tribute album to Black country star Charley Pride, before performing her own track "Bring Out the Country (In Me)."

In this episode of the Confident Woman Lead Podcast, host Anita addresses a crucial challenge faced by professional Black women: self-advocacy. Despite being told to advocate for themselves, many struggle to do so effectively. Anita introduces the framework 'Leadership Language Divide™,' which separates the language of proving oneself from positioning oneself for leadership opportunities. Traditional career coaching often fails to bridge this divide, especially for Black women. On June 1st, Anita will reveal a proprietary method to overcome this barrier and advance in your career.

Kiki talks about heading to Louisiana a few hours after recording for her grandfather's funeral and gives an update on the emotional rollercoaster that came with it (yes, grandma got her group photo and yes, it's on YouTube). Meanwhile, Medinah just took her braids out in the most luxurious way and is deep in her "enjoy and romanticize every moment" era.  We're talking young love, grown crushes, being a tender-headed Black girl just trying to function, and the ridiculous things we believed about sex back in the day. There's also a new cocktail recipe (Heaux on the Rocks), a ridiculous listener confession, and of course, a little indecisive date suggestions from Diane.

Growing up, Kiese Laymon thought of himself as a city kid. But he spent his childhood with a foot in two worlds: his mom's house in the capital city of Jackson, Mississippi and his grandma's house in a rural country town.It wasn't until Kiese left Mississippi that he came to understand that this question of city versus country actually meant a lot more. It carries a lot of baggage: the tensions between north and south, tectonic historical forces, and the contradictions of life in Mississippi.In this episode, our producer Justine Paradis sits down with writer Kiese Laymon for a conversation on this question of country versus city, what that has to do with the history of Black life in this country, and the story of Kiese's first children's picture book, his latest in a lifelong exploration of a complicated love of Mississippi.Featuring Kiese Laymon.Produced by Justine Paradis.

Legal scholar Derek Black is a vocal critic of the Trump administration's anti-DEI crusade, arguing that the effort to impose what he calls ‘loyalty oaths' on schools is blatantly unconstitutional. Black argues that the attacks on public education are at the center of a larger project aimed at undermining the two central pillars of democracy: free speech and due process. The author of a new book, Dangerous Learning: The South's Long War on Black Literacy, Black draws parallels between the lead-up to the Civil War and today's paranoia-fueled efforts to limit what teachers can teach and students can learn.

Thyron Mathews is an award-winning American BBQ Chef and Pitmaster, known for his bold flavors, Southern roots, and viral presence both online and on screen. Originally from Royal, Florida—a historic Black farming town where families were once granted their 40 acres—Thyron now calls Iowa home, where he's built one of the most recognized BBQ brands in the Midwest.     Thyron rose to national fame after winning Netflix's hit competition series Barbecue Showdown, which drew over 40 million viewers globally.

Joseph Fielding Smith is the architect of controversial LDS orthodoxy. He has some controversial writings about Blacks and Ezra Taft Benson. We'll also delve into his role with Lowell Bennion, a BYU professor who was fired. Was JFS responsible or was it someone else? Matthew Bowman answers. We'll also dive into his role in shaping orthodoxy in the 20th century. Check out our conversation... https://youtu.be/toqjRr1B8Eo Joseph Fielding Smith: Architect of Controversial LDS Orthodoxy Joseph Fielding Smith described as a "lightning rod" due to some views considered politically incorrect today, particularly regarding race. Dr. Matt Bowman, author of "Joseph Fielding Smith, a Mormon Theologian," sheds light on Smith's impact on the church. One of the most uncomfortable aspects of Smith's legacy is his writings about Black individuals, especially concerning the priesthood. In his work, The Way to Perfection, Smith explicitly stated his subscription to the theory that people of African descent were less righteous in the pre-existence. He used language suggesting they were "not entitled to be born white." Smith was a staunch "defender of the racial restrictions" in the Church and became a major exponent of the idea, which the source traces back to Orson Hyde, that Black people possessed souls less righteous in the pre-existence. This stance led to prominent public clashes, notably with church educator Lowell Bennion at a symposium in the early 1950s. Their argument over the ban contributed to Bennion's eventual dismissal by Ernest Wilkinson, who was president of BYU and commissioner of church education. Wilkinson viewed Bennion as too liberal on race and saw Smith as an ally in this regard. While Wilkinson was the person who carried out the dismissal, the collision with Fielding Smith helped instigate the decision. Disagreement with Benson Smith also had complex relationships, even with those seen as ideologically sympathetic. Despite being viewed as a fellow conservative, Smith had significant disagreements with Ezra Taft Benson. A letter from Smith exists in which he hoped Benson's "blood will be purified" upon his return from a mission in Europe in the 1960s. Smith was skeptical of the Church becoming heavily involved in American politics, viewing Benson's fascination with politics as distasteful and inappropriate for an apostle. He considered it "unseemly" and "disreputable." Smith also saw Benson as a conspiracy theorist, distinguishing standard conservative politics (like that of Dwight Eisenhower or David McKay) from conspiracy theory. Smith hoped Benson's time away would rid him of these inclinations, allowing him to return as an apostle rather than an aspiring amateur politician. This highlights that "real deep divides" can exist even within the conservative camp. Controversial LDS Orthodoxy Perhaps Smith's most enduring theological contribution was his role in developing the idea of orthodoxy within the Latter-day Saint tradition. Orthodoxy, an older Protestant concept particularly associated with John Calvin, posits that being a faithful member requires believing certain things and that incorrect beliefs can jeopardize salvation. This was not a central idea in the early Christian Church's first century. Smith, possibly influenced by Protestant fundamentalism, began insisting in the mid-20th century that belief is actually really important and that believing "the correct ideas" were crucial because incorrect beliefs could "ruin your salvation." He defended this notion vigorously. Historically, while early Christianity saw debates over ideas like the Trinity, and Roman Catholicism emphasized sacraments and art for teaching, the strong push for average members to understand and adhere to correct doctrine emerged from the Reformed Protestant tradition. Smith's emphasis on orthodoxy gained significant traction in the church. When he became President, many members of the Quorum of the Twelve were individuals he ...

Gut health is one of those wellness terms we hear all the time, and honestly, it’s popular for a reason. Our gut isn’t just about digestion.

In late April, details came to light about a covert experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Zurich on unsuspecting Reddit users on the debate forum known as r/changemyview. They used AI chatbots posing as real humans on the forum to test their powers of persuasion and invented backstories like a rape survivor or a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter. What they didn't have was consent. The experiment violated Reddit Terms of Service, forum rules and, critics say, academic research standards. The researchers who notified Reddit of the experiment after the fact have since apologized and said they won't publish the results. Reddit says it's increasing efforts to verify users are human. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Mohammad Hosseini, a professor at Northwestern University's medical school, about the potential harms that could come from a study like this one.
