EPISODE 144 | Unwell and Unregulated: The Militia Movement The United States has always had a certain comfort level with violence, or at least the idea of it. Throughout its history, groups of armed citizens will threaten to use, or actually use, force to get their point across, either to effect change or to prevent that from happening. But in the 1990s, something changed, and groups formed around new ideologies that sometimes had little to do with objective reality. The Militia Movement was mainly rural, white, far-right Christians who'd been nurtured on conspiracy theories and half truths which they had chosen to believe because these made some sort of emotional sense to them, and because they had an unerring sense that they were right and everyone else was wrong. And some of them were willing to go to great lengths to achieve their aims. This is the breeding ground for the modern conspirasphere. Like what we do?

Amanda dissects his remarks, offering a humorous yet insightful critique. The 60-Second Headlines bring you up to speed with quick updates on topics ranging from legal matters involving Donald Trump to Killer Mike's eventful Grammys night. Amanda celebrates birthdays and shares updates on the Ahmaud Arbery case with Attorney Gerald Griggs. The Big Up, Let Down segment covers a canceled wedding and a problematic article on cultural appropriation during Black History Month. Blackurate News takes a serious turn with the unfortunate incident involving the stolen and burned Jackie Robinson statue in Wichita, Kansas. The Group Chat dives into a perpetual conversation about beauty standards, sparked by a TikTok video challenging the use of filters. Tune in to The Amanda Seales Show for a blend of humor, critical analysis, and engaging conversations that make for an enjoyable and enlightening podcast experience! Listen, Laugh, and Learn on The Amanda Seales Show! FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:   (2:49) - BLACKURATE NEWS Lawmakers in Madison, Wisconsin, recently debated whether state colleges and universities should be barred from considering race or gender when determining if a student is eligible for aid (affirmative action). Under the Republican bill, admission into programs, and tuition assistance that's aimed at disadvantaged students, could only consider the wealth of the student and their family. Sen. Eric Wimberger, Republican of Green Bay, Wisconsin, one of the bill's co-authors, said he acknowledged the lingering effects of racism, but he maintained race-based programs and assistance in higher education would enable bad actors more than it'd help underserved people.   (7:47) - POP CULTURE This story is the essence of “they should've never gave y'all social media.” Tyrese, who we all respect for his voice and talents… stay Tyresing. He posted a video of a Latino family doing family-oriented things, and in his caption demeaned and berated the entire BLACK race.   (12:43) - 60 SECOND HEADLINES Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case, is postponing the trial until his appeals play out on the question of whether presidential immunity protects him from being prosecuted. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has acknowledged her personal relationship with Nathan Wade… the lead prosecutor on the Trump case, but says it doesn't disqualify her. Welcome Home Franklin! A new ‘Peanuts' special will finally let Franklin, the first Black Peanut character, sit by White friends (Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Pig Pen and the gang). Killer Mike's Grammys night came to an early end last night... because he was led out of the event in handcuffs -- after an alleged physical altercation with a security guard.   (15:09) – We'll go to the phonelines.

Welcome Attorney Gerald Griggs back to the show. He's an Advocate, Activist, and Justice Fighter. He's here with us today with an update on the Ahmaud Arbury case… and the 3 white men that were convicted of killing him. Before we jump in, give us a brief overview of this case for those who may not remember.   (24:05) - ATTORNEY GERALD GRIGGS – Part 2   (28:39) - BIG UP, LET DOWN BIG UP - to an almost bride-to-be in California for her generosity and foresight!! An anonymous woman in California learned “something” (hmmm) about her fiancé' and decided to call their wedding off. BUT she'd already paid a $15k non-refundable fee for the wedding reception. Double BIG up: she donated the reception party to a non-profit called Parents Helping Parents which provides community support to parents with children who have special needs. AND she and her almost-husband didn't waste anybody's time or money by getting married into a chaotic situation. Some people would've been like, “Oh we finna have this reception, so we don't waste money!”   LET DOWN - to piss poor journalism and cultural appropriation during Black History Month. Superbowl-bound Chiefs player Travis Kelce has made the news recently for popularizing the FADE haircut, y'all! Yes, the hairstyle Black men have been rocking since the Black ICE ages. New York Times' Alyson Krueger titled an article, “They'll Take the Travis Kelce — Hairdo, That Is.” Apparently a lot of men are taking to their local barbershops and asking for a haircut similar to Kelce's. The article cites a TikTok video from barber Jeff Dugas saying that his brother came in with photos of Kelce for reference. It also cites a different TikTok video from barber Nigel Miller, who said his client was going for “that Travis Kelce look.” WHAT ARE WE DOING?! This is just bad journalism and poor research! White folks gone find a way to take the credit for Black swag one way or another. On the football field, behind a typewriter, in the newsroom…   (32:50) - WEEKEND RECAP IT'S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW… I'M AMANDA SEALES…   (35:17) - WE UP, WE UP, WE UP!!

SMALL DOSES SEGMENT - (SIDE EFFECTS OF PRISON FEMINISM) WITH MY GUEST RICHIE RESEDA.   (37:23) - BLACKURATE NEWS America is not a racist country they say! Well why was the statue of the first Major League baseball player, Jackie Robinson, cut off at the ankles and burned in Wichita, Kansas? You heard me! Someone(s) cut the statue off at the ankles, stole it and it was later found burned in a public trash container. Thanks to a GoFundMe campaign, at least $175,000 has been received to fund the replacement. Other facts The Jackie Robinson statue, which officials valued at $75,000, was designed by the late artist John Parsons. Lutz previously said the new statue will be created from an existing mold of Parsons' original work. Money that is raised beyond the cost of the statue's replacement will go toward supporting the league and improvements at the pavilion where the statue is displayed, including additional security, according to League 42.   (40:25) - KICK OFF - GROUP CHAT TOPIC OF THE WEEK Well, this seems like the conversation that never ends, it just goes on and on, my friends!
