"To me, that ark is: engaging deeply with our traditions. It's reclaiming some of what we lost when we were assimilating and trying to fit in. We have thousands of years of text that have such wisdom about the human condition, about how to be a good person, and lead a worthy life . . . What we can really do is, we can be Jews. And to be a Jew has always been to be different." Sarah Hurwitz—former White House speechwriter and New York Times bestselling author of Here All Along—returns to People of the Pod to discuss her new book, As a Jew: Reclaiming Our Story from Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us. Hurwitz reflects on why antisemitism remains, in her words, "the least mysterious phenomenon," and how Jews can reclaim pride, wisdom, and purpose through Jewish text, practice, and community. Drawing from her work as a hospital chaplain and her conversations with Jewish students on campus, she makes a powerful case for reconnecting with the depth and resilience of Jewish tradition.

Transcript of the Interview: Manya Brachear Pashman:     During the Obama administration, Sarah Hurwitz served as senior speech writer for President Barack Obama and chief speech writer for First Lady Michelle Obama. But after she left the White House, she did a little bit of soul searching, and in her mid 30s, reconnected with her Judaism. She wrote about it in a book titled Here All Along, and joined us at the time to talk about it. Sarah has returned with us this week to talk about the book that followed, titled As a Jew: Reclaiming Our Story from Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us.  Sarah, welcome back to People of the Pod. Sarah Hurwitz:  Thank you so much. I'm thrilled to be here. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So your title has a very powerful accusation. So tell us who is blaming, shaming and trying to erase us? Sarah Hurwitz:   Yeah. So, you know, it's funny. My first book, as you know, was this love letter toJudaism. This, this journey of discovery of Jewish tradition, and I loved it so much, and I wanted to share it. You know, as I was writing it, I was thinking, Oh, where has this been all my life. Kind of a lovely, almost rhetorical question. But after it came out, a few things kind of happened that made me actually ask that question more seriously. Like, Wait, why did I not see any of the 4000 years of Jewish wisdom growing up?  The first thing was, I trained to be a volunteer hospital chaplain, and you know, chaplaincy is multifaith, open to chaplains of all backgrounds. But you know, the training was kind of weirdly Christian. You know, we would talk about our ministry and our theology. And I was told that prayer is God, please heal so and so who's right here in front of me, and I'm just making this prayer up spontaneously, and they can hear me, and that's prayer. And everyone prays that way, I was told. I said, You know that that's not really a common form of Jewish prayer. But I was told, No, no, as long as you don't say Jesus, it is universal. That's interesting.  And then something else that happened is I visited a college campus probably a year before October 7, and I was talking to students there at the Hillel, talking to a bunch of Jewish students. And one of them asked me, What did you do to respond to antisemitism when you were in college? And I was so stunned, I didn't even understand the question at first. And then I said, I didn't, not once, never. Not a single time did I deal with antisemitism.  And the kids just looked kind of shocked, like they didn't believe me. And they started sharing stories of the antisemitism they were facing on campus. And I thought, uh oh, something's going on here. And then I really began kind of taking a deep dive into my identity.  Of like, wait, so why did I spend my whole life being like, oh, I'm just a cultural Jew. I knew nothing about Jewish culture. Which is a beautiful way to be Jewish, being a cultural Jew, but I knew nothing about history, language, anything like that. When I said I'm an ethnic Jew, but Jews are of every ethnicity, so that's nonsense.  Or I'd say social justice is my Judaism, but I didn't know anything about what Judaism said about social justice. Unlike these wonderful Jews who do know about social justice and spend their lives acting out Jewish social justice.  And so I took a deep dive into history, and what I discovered was 2000 years of antisemitism and anti-Judaism and 200 years of Jews in Western Europe in a very understandable attempt to escape that persecution, kind of erasing many of our traditions. And I think that was kind of my answer to, where has this been all my life? And also my answer to, why did I have such an apologetic Jewish identity for so much of my life? Manya Brachear Pashman:     In my introduction, I left off half the title of your first book because it was very long, but I am curious, kind of, when did you realize . . . well, let me give the full title of your book, it's Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life--in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There).  So I guess, how was that delayed connection to Judaism, can you elaborate a little bit more about how it was tied to these forces that you just talked about? Sarah Hurwitz:  Yeah, so, you know, something that I didn't really fully understand, I had intimations of this, but didn't really understand this, is that, you know, 2000 years ago, early Christianity very much defined itself against Judaism. There was actually a name for this, the Aversos Judeos tradition, which means against the Jews in Latin.  And you know, early Church Fathers very much were defining Christianity against Judaism, because back then, both of these traditions had originated from Judaism. And you know they parted ways at some point, and the Church Fathers were really trying to distinguish Christianity from Judaism, and to get people to stop kind of practicing both traditions. This tradition really continues with Judaism defined as unspiritual, legalistic, depraved, dead, spiritually superseded. A lot of very, very ugly tropes that kind of have common themes that say that Jews are diabolically powerful, so supernaturally powerful, you can't even believe it. They are also profoundly depraved, evil, bloodthirsty, perverse, and they're in a conspiracy to hurt you. So there may be very few of them, but man, they are working together to really do harm.  And you see these three themes kind of making their way through history, unfortunately, all the way basically, until the Holocaust. And I based a lot of my writing on the work of a number of really distinguished Christian scholars who make this argument. It's actually a pretty common argument among Christian scholars.  And, you know, in recent decades, the church has very much disavowed its historic anti-Judaism and has worked very hard to, you know, fight antisemitism in the church. But, you know, these things really did kind of continue on through the 20th century. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So you do describe in your book moments when you got oddly defensive about your Judaism, or perhaps a bit revisionist about Jewish history and the origin of Jewish traditions, or the reason why they exist now in modern day. Can you elaborate on some of those moments for our listeners and explain how you've self-corrected thatdefense? Sarah Hurwitz:  You know, I think a lot of it took the form of, oh, I'm Jewish, but not that Jewish. It was just sort of this immediate, but I'm not one of those Jews. You know, those really Jewish Jews. Well, I'm sorry, would it be a problem if I were? What if social justice wasn't my Judaism, but Judaism was my Judaism? Would that be okay? You know, just beginning to notice, like, Why am I always kind of pushing it away, claiming that I'm not too Jewish? That's a very strange way to announce someone's identity. I think, you know, Dara Horn has actually a really, quite an amazing essay called The Cool Kids, and she talks about these two different types of antisemitism. And one is this kind of eliminationist antisemitism which says the Jews are bad, there's nothing they can do to be good. We must kill them. And you know, that is the Holocaust, pogroms. We learn about that kind of antisemitism in school. But there's another kind of antisemitism, which is conversionist, which says, yes, the Jews are bad, but there is something they can do to be okay and saved. And that is, they can disavow whatever we, the majority, find disgusting about Jewish civilization.  So you know, back in the day, it was, reject Jewish religion and convert to Christianity, and you'll be saved, maybe. For some amount of time, possibly. In my parents and grandparents generation, it was, you know, reject your last name, get a nose job. Stop being so "Jewy", be a little bit more "waspy," and then maybe we'll let you into our club. Then maybe we'll accept you.  And today, what you see is you have to reject your ancestral homeland, you know, reject Israel, and then you'll be okay. And, you know, I visited 27 college campuses, and I kind of saw how this sometimes takes on the format of almost like a Christian conversion narrative, where it goes something like, you know, growing up, my rabbi and my parents told me Israel was perfect and amazing and a utopia. And then I got to college, and I realized that actually it's a colonialist, Nazi, racist society, and I had an epiphany. I saw the light, and I took anti-Zionism and anti-colonialism into my heart, and now I'm saved. Now I'm a good Jew. And their classmates are like, now you're a good Jew.  And as Dara Horn puts it, this kind of antisemitism involves the weaponization of shame. It involves really trying to convince Jews that there is something fundamentally shameful about some aspect of themselves, their identity, their tradition. And today, that thing is Israel. This idea that there's something fundamentally . . . it's like the original sin of the world. Manya Brachear Pashman:     And you also talk about the tradition of circumcision, and how that came up, and you found yourself explaining this to someone. Can you elaborate on that for our listeners? Which I thought was really interesting.  Sarah Hurwitz:  This was during an encounter with a patient. I was doing a chaplaincy shift, and  usually I don't tell my patients my religious background, I'm very neutral, unless they're Jewish, in which case, I do tell them I'm Jewish. But, you know, I was finishing up a conversation with this very lovely lady. And she was very curious about my background. And so I told her, you know, I'm Jewish. And her eyes kind of lit up, and she said, Oh, you know, many of my neighbors are Jewish. I've actually been to two brisses in the past month.  And she just, you know, and she was so lovely, like, she actually seemed to be just really happy to be included in this tradition of her neighbors. And I got weirdly defensive, and was like, Oh, well, you know, just so, you know, medical professionals, they say whether you circumcise or don't circumcise, it's really, it's equally safe either way. And you know, we often, you know, when we do brisses, they're often done by a medical provider.  And I'm going on and on and like, this woman did not say the slightest negative thing about this tradition, but suddenly I am defensive. Suddenly it's like, Huh, interesting. You know, I think that it was an illustration to me of the way that we can sometimes really imbibe all of the kind of negative views about Jews and Jewish traditions that are around us, and become defensive, and sometimes we don't even realize that they're there. It's almost like they're the air that we breathe. Manya Brachear Pashman:     But let me challenge that and push back a little bit. I mean, is it okay to not agree with some of the traditions of the Jewish faith and be open about your disagreement with that? I certainly know a lot of Christians who don't like things that emerge from their tradition or from their community. Is that okay? Or is it not when Judaism is threatened? Sarah Hurwitz:  So I actually do think that's okay. You know, I have no problem with that, but I think the problem in this situation was that I have no problem with circumcision, but I'm suddenly getting defensive and trying to convince this woman that it's not weird. And I'm thinking, why am I doing this? It was very interesting to me that I felt so suddenly defensive and anxious. You know, it was very surprising to me. Manya Brachear Pashman:     And similarly, it's okay to criticize Israeli policy too, right? I mean, it's totally acceptable.  Sarah Hurwitz:  Absolutely. This is the thing that I'm so confused about. Where people are saying, well, you know, you're saying that it's not okay to criticize Israel. And I'm like, I'm sorry. Have you been to Israel? It's like the national pastime there to criticize the government. I criticize the Israeli government all the time, as do millions of American Jews.  This idea that this is somehow… that we're somehow reacting to criticism of Israel, that's ridiculous. I think what we're reacting to is not criticism of Israel, but it's something else. You know, when you have students on a college campus saying from water to water, Palestine should be Arab, or Israelis are Nazis. I just, with all due respect, I don't see that as criticism. Nor would I see it as criticism if, God forbid, a Jewish student ever said from water to water, Israel should be Jewish, or, Palestinians are terrorists. That is hateful, disgusting, racist, eliminationist language. And if I ever heard a Jewish student say that, I mean, let me tell you, I would have quite a talking to with that kid.  So that's not criticism. Criticism is, I am vehemently opposed and abhor, this policy, this ideology, this action, for these reasons. That's criticism. And I think you can use real strong language to do that kind of criticism. But there's a difference between a criticism and slurs and baseless accusations. And I think we need to be just clear about that. Manya Brachear Pashman:     All right, so you just use the term from water to water instead of from river to sea. Was that on purpose? Sarah Hurwitz:  Not necessarily. It's just a clearer illustration of what I think from the river to the sea really means, you know, I think  that is the Arabic that is used. Infrom the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free. It's like, you can kind of make an argument that this is about Palestinian Liberation. And okay, fair enough. But I think when you get the from water to water, it shall be Arab, that's when I think there's less of an argument that it's about freedom, and it seems a little bit more eliminationist to me. Manya Brachear Pashman:     Interesting. I've not heard that before. But I like that. So you call antisemitism the least mysterious phenomenon. Can you please explain what you mean by that? Sarah Hurwitz:  Yeah, you know, I think, like a lot of young people, my antisemitism education was mainly just Holocaust education. And I kind of walked away thinking like, huh, how wild that the civilized world just lost its mind in the mid-20th century and started killing Jews. That's so shocking and disturbing, you know, why is that? And the answer was kind of like, well, you know, the Germans lost World War I. They blamed the Jews. There was a depression. They blamed the Jews.  And when you ask why the Jews, it's like, well, because of prejudice and scapegoating. I'm like, Okay, right. But again, why the Jews? Prejudice and scapegoating, that's the answer. It's like, well, actually, the answer really is because of 2000 years of Christian anti-Judaism that preceded that. It wasn't mysterious why the Jews were targeted.  This was a 2000-year neural groove that had been worn into the Western world psyche. And this is not my argument. This is the argument of countless Christian scholars whose brilliant work I cite. And so I think that the unfortunate thing about some forms of Holocaust education is that it leaves you with the impression that, oh, this is so mysterious, it's just kind of eternal and kind of comes out of nowhere. Or even worse, you might even think maybe we did something to deserve this. But it's not mysterious. I can show you its path through history.  And I think it's very important that Jews understand this history. And look, I think this is very hard to teach in an average American public school. Because, you know, we live in a country where, you know, saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas is very upsetting for some people. They feel very threatened and triggered by that.  So for a teacher to say, like, Okay, kids today we're going to learn about how 2000 years of Christian anti-Judaism paved the way for the Holocaust . . . I don't think that's going to go well. Even if many mainstream Christian scholars would agree that that's true, this is a challenge that we face. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So you have continued, as you said, to visit college campuses where antisemitism has been an issue since October 7, more of an issue than it even was beforehand. And yet, when you were at Harvard and Harvard Law, you've said you could have walked through Harvard Yard wrapped in an Israeli flag and no one would have said a word or reacted negatively. So what has changed, and does it signal a more general shift on campuses of kind of uncensored, unbridled speech?  In other words, if black students support black lives matter, or gay students are marching for pride, do you feel like there's a sense that students who disagree with that from either the right or the left, have kind of claimed a license to criticize that too? Sarah Hurwitz:  No. I try to explain to college students when they say, Well, okay, my campus isn't that bad, you know, I can wear my Jewish star, and I won't get, you know, harassed or ostracized. And I say, like, okay, great, if it's not that bad, I'll just wear my Israel t-shirt and we'll see how it goes. They're like, No.  And then I have to go through this long litany of like, okay, if your black classmate said to you, well, this campus isn't so bad for black students, but I can't wear my Black Lives Matter t-shirt or else I'll be harassed and ostracized. I hope you would say that's not okay, that's racism, pretty clear. Or if your queer classmate said, Well, this campus is pretty good for queer people, but I can't wear my pride t-shirt, I hope you would say, That's not pretty good. That's homophobia.  You know, when the majority feels entitled to decide how the minority can embody and express their identity, I think we have a really serious problem. And  sometimes the kids will push back on me. Well, no, no, but the problem isn't being Jewish. It's Israel. I'm like, okay, but if your Chinese American classmate wore a t-shirt that said China, even if all your classmates knew that the Chinese government had been interning a million Muslim Uighurs in camps and subjecting them to horrific human rights violations, would they harass and ostracize her?  And they're like, Well, probably not. Right, because they would assume that she has a relationship to China that maybe involves having heritage there, or maybe she studied abroad there, or maybe she's studying Chinese, maybe she has family there. I think they would assume that she has some connection to the country that doesn't involve agreeing with the policies of the Chinese government, and Jewish students on campus really aren't afforded that courtesy.  And I'll tell you, most of the Jewish students I spoke with on campus, they, like me, are extremely critical of this current Israeli government. Extremely, extremely critical. They have all sorts of criticisms about what's happening in Gaza, of the occupation.  You know, their views are quite nuanced and complex, but there is no room given for that. You know, I think on some college campuses, Israel has been put into the same bucket as the KKK and the Nazi party. So I can't say to you, look, you know, I'm a Nazi, but I'm a liberal Nazi. Or, oh, you know, I'm in the KKK, but I'm not racist. It's like, come on, right?  These are vile entities with which no connection is acceptable, period. And I think once Israel ceases to be a country and instead becomes the representation of all evil in the world, there's really no relationship that you can have with it that's acceptable. And I think that is a pretty devastating place for it to be today.  And I'll tell you, I think it's a really challenging moment right now where I, like a lot of American Jews, I'm a Zionist. I believe that Jews have a right to a safe and secure home state in their ancestral homeland. I believe we have the right to national independence and self determination, like Japanese people have in Japan and Latvians have in Latvia, and on and on. And you know, we've run that experiment of Jewish powerlessness for 2000 years, and it didn't go well. Even as late as the 20th century. It wasn't just that two thirds of Jews in Europe got wiped out because of the Holocaust.  It's that nearly a million Jews who lived in Arab lands had to flee persecution, most of them to Israel. It's that 2 million Russian Jews had to flee persecution, half of them to Israel. It's that 10s of 1000s of Ethiopian Jews, I can go on and on. So we know, we've run that experiment of Jewish statelessness, and it doesn't go well.  And at the same time, we are looking at this current Israeli government, and we are appalled. We're appalled by the ideology, we're appalled by many of the policies. And you know, for me as an American, this feels very familiar, because I love this country. I'm a proud, patriotic American, and I happen to very much disagree with the current president. I happen to be very much appalled by the current president's policies and ideology. And so, I think many people are able to hold that, but somehow it's harder with Israel, because of what is in the air right now. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So, really you're saying that antisemitism has distorted history. Distorted people's understanding of Israel's history, their understanding of modern Israel's rebirth and existence. It spawned anti-Zionism. Correct?  Sarah Hurwitz:   Yes. Manya Brachear Pashman:     Did you encounter that during your time in the Obama administration? Do you see it now, in hindsight or or is it a more recent emergence? Sarah Hurwitz:   I think this is more recent. I mean, you know, probably in some spaces it was, you know, I was in the administration from 2009 to 2017. I never once saw any kind of anti-Zionism or antisemitism. I mean, it was one of the best places to be a proud, passionate Jew. I knew my colleagues could not have been more supportive of my Jewish exploration. They were so proud when I wrote my first book.  So I never saw any of this ever, once. And I think, you know, I think what is so confusing about this is that we often think about antisemitism as a kind of personal prejudice, like, oh, you know, Jews are fill in the blank, nasty thing. They are dirty, cheap, crass. I don't want my daughter to marry one. I don't want one in my country club.  You don't really see that kind of antisemitism in the circles where I travel anymore. What you see instead is more of political antisemitism, which is antisemitism as a kind of conspiracy theory that says that we, the majority, are engaged in a grand moral project, and the only thing stopping us are these Jews. We the majority are Christianizing the Roman Empire.  The only thing stopping us, these Jews who won't convert. We the majority are bringing about the brotherhood of man, the great communist revolution. The only thing stopping us, these capitalist Jews. We the Germans, are bringing about the great, racially pure Aryan fatherland. The only thing stopping us – these race-polluting Jews.  And today in America, you see it on the right and the left. On the right, it's, you know, we white Christian Americans are bringing back white Christian civilization to America. And the only thing stopping us are these Jews who are importing black and brown immigrants to replace white people. That is the extremely racist and antisemitic theory known as the Great Replacement theory. It is an ugly, disgusting lie.  On the left you have, you know, we this very moral group of people. we are bringing about the revolution of anti-colonialism, anti-Zionism. And the only thing stopping us are these colonialist Zionists, which is a polite way of saying Jews. And so, you know, I think it's very important to understand, as Yossi Klein Halevi, the journalist, puts it, you know, what you see again and again is whatever is the worst thing in a society, that is what the Jews are deemed to be. Whatever is the worst thing among a particular population, that is what the Jews are deemed to be. And I think we're kind of seeing that on both the right and the left today. Manya Brachear Pashman:     If antisemitism defines so much, or has defined so much of Jewish identity, how do we reclaim that? How have you reclaimed that? And how have you found joy in your Jewish identity, especially after doing this book and immersing yourself and all of this extremely depressing perspective? Sarah Hurwitz:   I hear this kind of line among many Jews that breaks my heart. It's this sort of self-flagellation, of like, if we just had the right PR campaign, if we just had the right tweet, then we would fight antisemitism. It's our fault, we're doing such a bad job fighting antisemitism. And, you know, I love the ambition there. I think that is so sweet.  But there are 16 million of us in the whole world. That's with an M, million, like the size of like, the fifth largest city in China. We are a Chinese city. There are billions of people who don't really love us out there. And the idea that we, this tiny group of people, is going to somehow change the minds of billions of people. I really respect the ambition, but I think that's a tough one.  I think it's sort of like trying to bail out a tsunami with buckets. You know, if enough of us do it, I'm sure we can make a difference. And I have such respect for the people who are doing that work. I think it's very important. But I also would just suggest that maybe we should put a little more of our energy into building an ark to weather the storm.  And you know, to me, that ark is, engaging deeply with our traditions. It's reclaiming, I think, some of what we lost when we were assimilating and trying to fit in. You know, we have thousands of years of text that have such wisdom about the human condition, about how to be a good person and lead a worthy life and find profound spiritual connection. We have just so many beautiful traditions. And so I think that what we can really do is, we can be Jews. And to be a Jew has always been to be different.  That was kind of our value proposition thousands of years ago when we came along and said, hey guys, monotheism. Totally different way of thinking. We said, hey, every human being is created in the image of God, which is an idea that every human being is infinitely worthy. Which, again, this is the idea that underlies things like liberalism, democracy, human rights. These are really Earth-shatteringly different counter cultural ideas, and we have so many more of those that I still think the world needs today.  So I think that rather than just being anti-anti-semites, that we can be proud Jews instead, and we can really focus on becoming more learned, more vibrant members of our communities, you know, engaging in more of our traditions and our rituals.  I also think, you know, Dara Horn has been doing a lot of great work about educating kids about Jewish civilization. Rather than having young people only know about the Jews via the Holocaust, she really wants to teach young people about Jewish civilization, ideas, and people. I think that is a very, very powerful and very helpful idea. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So how are you doing this? How do you spend each week? How do you reclaim some of these traditions and joy? Sarah Hurwitz:    For me, it's studying. That's really how I engage, you know, I have various chavrutas or I study Jewish texts. I love reading Jewish books, and I love participating in the Jewish community. You know, I love engaging with various Jewish organizations, you know, serving on various committees, and just trying to be part of this project of reclaiming Judaism, of making it more accessible to more Jews. This is what I love doing, and I'll be starting in January. I'm actually going to be starting a rabbinic program at the Hartman Institute. It's a part time program.  And I'm not not planning to be a congregational rabbi, but I do want to keep writing books, and I am really grateful for this opportunity to get a much deeper, more thorough Jewish education than the one I've kind of given to myself, and, you know, kind of cobbled together. I think this is going to be a really extraordinary opportunity. So I'm very excited about that.  Manya Brachear Pashman:     Oh, wow. Well, congratulations. I look forward to welcoming you back to the podcast and calling you Rabbi.  Sarah Hurwitz: Thank you. Manya Brachear Pashman:     Thank you so much for joining us, Sarah. Sarah Hurwitz:  Such a pleasure. Thank you for having me.   

This episode opens with a light examination of vigilance and what's at stake in the fight against white supremacy. Jasiri and Saïd banter about the intricacies of being vigilant in today's society, and the duo quickly pivot to the real difficulties of defeating age-old prejudices entrenched in civilization.Looking yet again through the lens of scrutinizing Donald Trump's recent actions and communications, 1HOOD unpacks the controversy surrounding Trump's mental acuity test, often being mistaken for an IQ test, leaving the door open for implications and murmurings about alleged dementia. In the light of Trump's broader public image and political maneuvers this would be most devestating.The dialogue shifts sharply to the topic of old people running America's government questioning why people keep voting for elderly candidates in their 80s and 90s, and why older people continue to hold significant influence over the policies that shape younger contemporary lives and future generations.Jasiri highlights the irony of Republican policies severely hurting their predominantly white voter base pointing out the dissonance between political promises and economic realities with the impending fallout from SNAP benefit shutoffs affecting everyday lives, especially in low income white communities.The conversation concludes with the significance of Zoran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of New York enraging billionaire's to spend heavily to stop him showing that grappling with white supremacy is not a simple task but one that requires community solidarity, continuous education, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

We dive into a critical examination of the 3rd Ku Klux Klan. This episode challenges the notion that the Klan was simply a product of its time to be understood as a bad group of individuals representing white supremacy, as opposed to a strain of white supremacy that many people opposed. We return with Rasul Mowatt to review the history of the KKK's decline in the 1940s and 50s to its resurgence through multiple chapters during the Civil Rights Movement. Discover the tactics, motivations, and ultimate failures of the Klan in preventing the formal end of Jim Crow. We'll also delve into the Greensboro massacre and its precursors, examining the characters involved and the tragic events of November 3rd, 1979, and the accountability (or lack thereof) that followed. Finally, we explore how even within white supremacist circles, there was pushback against their extreme methods, ultimately paving the way for a new, darker white power movement.

Si vous avez déjà observé les plaques d'immatriculation françaises, vous avez sans doute remarqué qu'on n'y trouve jamais les lettres O, I ou U. Pas un hasard, ni une fantaisie administrative : ces trois lettres ont été volontairement bannies par le système d'immatriculation pour une raison très précise : éviter toute confusion.Depuis 2009, les plaques suivent le format AA-123-AA. Ce code n'indique plus la région d'origine du véhicule, mais un simple numéro d'ordre national. Or, dans ce système, chaque lettre et chaque chiffre doivent être lus sans ambiguïté. C'est là que les problèmes commencent : le O ressemble trop au 0, le I au 1, et le U peut être confondu avec le V, surtout sur certaines polices de caractères ou dans de mauvaises conditions de lecture. Pour les radars automatiques, les caméras de surveillance ou les gendarmes qui notent un numéro sur le bord de la route, ces confusions pourraient provoquer de véritables casse-têtes.L'administration française, soucieuse d'uniformité, a donc décidé d'exclure définitivement ces lettres du système, tout comme certains groupes de lettres jugés ambigus ou offensants : par exemple, les combinaisons qui pourraient former des mots vulgaires, politiques ou religieux sont également proscrites. Vous ne verrez donc jamais de plaque affichant “KKK”, “GOD” ou “SEX”.Ce souci de lisibilité n'est pas propre à la France. D'autres pays, comme l'Allemagne, la Belgique ou le Royaume-Uni, ont aussi supprimé certaines lettres ou combinaisons pour les mêmes raisons. En France, le système SIV (Système d'Immatriculation des Véhicules) prévoit environ 277 millions de combinaisons possibles, ce qui laisse largement de quoi faire malgré ces exclusions.Il existe enfin une touche de pragmatisme : les lettres restantes permettent de simplifier la reconnaissance automatique, un élément clé à l'ère des radars et des péages électroniques. Dans un pays où la contravention arrive parfois avant le retour à la maison, mieux vaut que le numéro soit parfaitement lisible.En résumé : si les O, I et U ont disparu de nos plaques, ce n'est pas une lubie bureaucratique, mais une mesure de bon sens. Une petite subtilité du quotidien, héritée du souci d'efficacité… et d'un soupçon d'amour français pour la logique administrative. Hébergé par Acast.

EP#850 TCB Infomercial w W Kamau Bell Comedian, writer, and social commentator W. Kamau Bell joins The Commercial Break for an unflinching, funny, and deeply human conversation about America's growing cultural divides. From his Emmy-winning series United Shades of America to his fearless stand-up and activism, Kamau has spent years walking into rooms most people would run from—talking with the KKK, white nationalists, and everyone in between—to find the common threads of empathy, ignorance, and humor that bind us. Bryan digs into how Kamau prepares for uncomfortable conversations, the role comedy still plays in bridging divides, and why satire may be our last best hope in a world that can't agree on anything. With warmth, wit, and insight, this episode explores what it really means to laugh, listen, and learn in modern America.

Lionel addresses the cancellation of the 81st annual New York City parade and then Lionel delves into heritage, immigration, and the American melting pot.

The conversation highlights the resilient spirit of grandmothers (nonnas), the complexities of Italian and Portuguese dialects, and the love of "peasant food" like polenta and baklava.

When Peter van Agtmael went to Iraq in 2006 to embed with the U.S. military, he was 24 years old and confident that his pictures could help end an unjust war. Two decades later, after documenting combat deaths overseas and then turning his camera lens on America, he's learned the limits of what photography can do. In this episode, Peter talks about the emotional toll of bearing witness to violence, the fraught ethics of choosing a subject, and how he ended up in a legal battle with Ye over an image. Peter's book is called “Look at the U.S.A.: A Diary of War and Home,“ and he has a show at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design until January 25th.

Send us a textLast week we ventured along the East Coast, specifically Florida's famed Space Coast to share the story of a civil rights couple who was killed by the KKK. We went a few miles inland to rewrite our old school programming about ancient civilizations thanks to scientific analysis of soft tissue matter, bones, bottle gourds and fabrics preserved for from 7-9,000 years ago, and this week?

A funding lapse in Washington sets the stage, but the real story is how power, process, and language shape outcomes—from the Senate's 60‑vote math to a New Mexico special session that narrows what gets debated. We open by decoding the shutdown: why a seven‑week continuing resolution stalled, how polling and precedent drive the blame game, and why markets shrugged while politicians postured. Then we zoom into Santa Fe, where a fast‑tracked agenda centers on health policy—especially a quiet but consequential shift that would remove CDC ACIP as the reference for school immunization schedules and lean on the state health department and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We unpack what that means for scientific independence, conflicts of interest, and public trust, and make the case for more—not fewer—credible voices in the room.From statehouse to city hall, we tackle Albuquerque's sanctuary city status. Polling shows majority support when the policy is framed as non‑cooperation “except when required by law,” but a mayoral order adding a hotline to alert residents about ICE activity raises safety and operational concerns. We connect those dots to voters' top anxieties—crime and homelessness—and explore how perceptions of safety track party identity more than daily reality, complicating honest problem‑solving.Campaign sparks fly in the Democratic gubernatorial primary over policy authorship, reminding us that voters care less about who wrote a plan and more about who can deliver measurable results. The temperature spikes again when a state representative compares ICE to the KKK—rhetoric condemned by law enforcement and flagged here for what it is: reckless. We close with a practical bright spot—drug pricing reforms tied to most‑favored‑nation benchmarks and a “Trump RX” fallback that could drive substantial savings for Medicare, Medicaid, and consumers if implemented with transparency and competition in mind.If you value sharp analysis without the spin, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find it.

As always, cultural topics took center stage with an extended discussion about Bad Bunny's rise in prominence and his anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance. 1HOOD expressed enthusiasm for how Bad Bunny challenges language and cultural barriers, especially within an American context that often prioritizes English and monolingualism. The conversation expanded to broader themes of identity and inclusivity in music, highlighted by Bad Bunny's influence on Puerto Rico's economy and social activism.A significant portion of the episode was dedicated to reflecting on the life and passing of Assata Shakur celebrating her as a symbol of resistance and empowerment, particularly for Black women. Assata's story was upheld as a powerful reminder of past struggles and a call to action against current injustices, reinforcing the necessity of protecting and uplifting Black political prisoners who continue to fight for equity and justice with resolve and determination.The political discourse took an intense turn as this podcast dissected the chaotic state of current American politics. The shutdown of the federal government under Trump's watch is discussed as a strategic move with dire consequences for the general population. 1HOOD collectively criticized figures such as Hakeem "Hank" Jeffries and Chuck " No Spine" Schumer for their lack of courage and selling out to AIPAC and questioned the disconnect between political actions and public needs.  This Week In White Supremacy continues to provide a platform for insightful and critical discussions, balancing humor, and seriousness to tackle pertinent cultural and political issues. 1HOOD's vibrant conversations serve to enlighten and engage audiences, encouraging broader awareness and action against injustice. Join them next week as they continue to expose white supremacy and advocate for a more equitable society for all people.--To help us build liberated communities through arts, education, and social justice visit our website 1hood.org to purchase your official 1HOOD apparel or consider making a tax-deductible donation to 1Hood Media. --WATCH THE SHOW: youtube.com/@twiws--FOLLOW 1HOOD youtube.com/@1hoodfacebook.com/1hoodmediainstagram.com/1hoodmediax.com/1hood--DISCLAIMERS: The views and opinions expressed during this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of 1Hood Media, 1Hood Power, and or its affiliates.

White womanhood has never been just victimhood—it has been both the mask and machinery of patriarchy. From suffragettes to the Women of the KKK, all the way to Erica Kirk, innocence has been wielded as a weapon, sustaining the very systems it claims to resist. In this episode, I trace that through-line and invite you to wrestle with the complexity: What does it mean to be both victim and perpetrator? What does it mean when liberation asks us to free not only women, but men too, from the pyramid of domination?This conversation is about dismantling binaries, naming complicity without shame, and imagining matriarchy not as patriarchy in pink, but as circular power-with rooted in community and care.

The dangerous intersection of inflammatory rhetoric and real-world violence takes center stage in this urgent analysis of America's deepening political divide. We examine the recent shooting at a Dallas ICE facility that left two migrants dead, where the FBI quickly identified an ideological motive with shell casings marked "anti-ICE." Yet mainstream media continues to obscure these clear motivations, creating a dangerous environment where accountability becomes impossible and violence continues unchecked.As political figures adopt increasingly extreme language—from Gavin Newsom demanding ICE agents "unmask" to New Mexico Senator Joe Cervantes comparing ICE to the KKK—we're witnessing leadership that validates rather than calms extremist viewpoints. This pattern repeats across virtually every issue facing Americans today.Drawing from personal experience as parents of a child with autism, we dive into the Trump administration's announcement of research linking prenatal Tylenol use to autism. Despite being backed by studies from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, this potentially groundbreaking information was immediately framed as "misinformation" by political opponents, demonstrating how tribal politics now trumps scientific inquiry and public health.The politicization extends to healthcare access in New Mexico, where bipartisan efforts to address doctor shortages through interstate medical compacts are being blocked by powerful trial lawyers in the state senate. Even Google has admitted to censoring Americans at the Biden administration's request regarding COVID-19 information that has since been proven accurate.What makes this episode particularly compelling is how it connects these seemingly disparate issues to reveal a fundamental breakdown in American discourse. When politics infects every aspect of life—from medical research to basic healthcare access—citizens suffer while special interests thrive. Join us as we cut through the noise and examine how we might begin healing this dangerous divide.Rate, review and subscribe to help spread the word, or visit NoDoubtAboutItPodcast.com to support our work directly.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

We begin this episode of This Week In Whit Supremacy by addressing the issue of free speech and its current standing in the United States. The examples of Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie Kirk brought into focus how free speech is often wielded selectively. Kimmel's return to television highlighted the power of collective action, as many celebrities rallied around him, pressuring networks to reinstate his show. However, this level of support and outcry is not always present when it comes to defending lower class voices. The selective application of the free speech principle raises questions about whose voices are deemed worthy of protection and advocacy.A significant portion of our discussion centers around the hypocrisy displayed by certain political figures, particularly former President Donald Trump. Trump has been outspoken in his criticism of those who oppose him, calling them enemies and traitors while simultaneously portraying himself as a champion of free speech. This prompted us to examine the double standards at play, where individuals in positions of power employ inflammatory rhetoric yet demand reverence and silence from their critics.A key takeaway from the conversation is the importance of recognizing intersectionality in activism. 1HOOD emphasizes that issues of racism, sexism, and religious discrimination are often interconnected, especially when it comes to the vilification of Black and Muslim communities. This calls for a united front among all marginalized groups to push back against oppressive narratives and policies.This podcast episode was a thought-provoking exploration of the contradictions and challenges in today's political and social landscape. It calls for a deeper commitment to activism and solidarity among diverse communities, encouraging listeners to stay informed and active in their pursuit of a more just society. --To help us build liberated communities through arts, education, and social justice visit our website 1hood.org to purchase your official 1HOOD apparel or consider making a tax-deductible donation to 1Hood Media. --WATCH THE SHOW: youtube.com/@twiws--FOLLOW 1HOOD youtube.com/@1hoodfacebook.com/1hoodmediainstagram.com/1hoodmediax.com/1hood--About:This Week In White Supremacy is the 1Hood podcast discussing the cultural effects and weekly injustices surrounding white supremacy; through intelligent, insightful commentary and often comedic conversations this podcast is geared towards adults who want to digest the latest news and events with humor and Hip-Hop.--DISCLAIMERS: The views and opinions expressed during this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of 1Hood Media, 1Hood Power, and or its affiliates.

In this week's installment of This Week In White Supremacy, the conversation was driven by recent events that have shaken the nation. The discussion, hosted by Jasiri, Saïd, and Miracle, revolved around  the complexities of current political violence, the responsibilities of cultural commentators, and the powerful, often painful echoes of history.The podcast begins with a reflection on a significant, tragic event: the shooting of Charlie Kirk, a right-wing commentator. The hosts, acknowledging the circumstances surrounding Kirk's beliefs and statements, examined the polarized reactions his death elicited. For Jasiri and Miracle, this was an opportunity to consider the differing perceptions of violence, empathy, and accountability when viewed through lenses shaped by race politics.Miracle's powerful analysis draws a direct line from past racial violence to contemporary media narratives. She points out how certain communities, particularly Black and Brown ones, are conditioned to expect violence. This expectation affects societal reactions to events like Kirk's death, where there's an inclination to sanitize and defend even the most severe actions of white individuals in mainstream narratives.As the episode wrapped up, the conversation came back to the heart of 1Hood's mission: unity and collective action. In the face of violence and division, 1HOOD calls for communities to work together to foster peace, understanding, and resilience reminding listeners of the power of collaboration and the importance of working toward a future where empathy and justice prevail.  --To help us build liberated communities through arts, education, and social justice visit our website 1hood.org to purchase your official 1HOOD apparel or consider making a tax-deductible donation to 1Hood Media. --WATCH THE SHOW: youtube.com/@twiws--FOLLOW 1HOOD youtube.com/@1hoodfacebook.com/1hoodmediainstagram.com/1hoodmediax.com/1hood--About:This Week In White Supremacy is the 1Hood podcast discussing the cultural effects and weekly injustices surrounding white supremacy; through intelligent, insightful commentary and often comedic conversations this podcast is geared towards adults who want to digest the latest news and events with humor and Hip-Hop.--DISCLAIMERS: The views and opinions expressed during this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of 1Hood Media, 1Hood Power, and or its affiliates.

Aaron Goings visits Seattle's Elliott Bay Book Company to discuss his brand new book, Red Harbor: Radical Workers and Community Struggle in the Pacific Northwest. This book was literally published in the last 24 hours. #HotOffThePress Goings is classified as White (Racist Suspect). Gus was intrigued to learn more about his presentation on White labor strife in Washington state. Especially since Goings' book details how Washington state Klu Klux Klan units were used to terrorize union efforts and suppress the organizational efforts of White workers. Gus was able to ask Goings about Finnish immigrants during this period of the early 1900s. Some of these Nordic Whites were treated as though they were not White and forced to take literacy tests (similar to the niggra). Some of these northern Europeans were allowed to form immigrant KKK clans and accepted as White. #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

The U.S. capital is disgracefully reinstalling a statue of Confederate General Albert Pike, infamous for alleged KKK ties, opposing racial integration, and supporting the expulsion of freed slaves. This decision, after the statue was toppled by George Floyd protesters, isn't about preserving history, but a blatant symbol of bigotry and hatred that activates deep-seated trauma for many. It's a "sermon in stone" demonstrating a disturbing commitment to "owning the libs" and perpetuating white supremacy over fostering genuine inclusivity. This move further exposes how historical figures are wielded to fuel cultural bias, prioritizing fear and prejudice over a truthful, inclusive understanding of our past and honoring a failed traitor.News Source:Statue Of Confederate General With Ku Klux Klan Ties To Be Reinstalled In Washington, D.C.By Mitti Hicks for Black EnterpriseAugust 5, 2025

The Sears Catalog Was a Secret Weapon Against Jim Crow. The KKK Tried to Destroy It. In the latest episode of Trey's Table, we dive into one of the most fascinating and overlooked stories of economic resistance. For African Americans in the segregated South, the Sears, Roebuck mail-order catalog was more than just a book of products—it was a source of dignity. It allowed people to shop for quality goods without facing the degradation, discrimination, and violence of racist store owners. This empowerment didn't go unnoticed. The Ku Klux Klan, threatened by this challenge to the racial and economic order, launched a massive smear campaign. They organized boycotts, held public catalog burnings, and spread the false rumor that Sears was a Black-owned company in a desperate attempt to scare away white customers. Tune in to Episode 347 to learn: ➡️ How the catalog broke the back of the exploitative sharecropper system. ➡️ The details of the KKK's nationwide boycott campaign. ➡️ How Sears quietly worked to protect its Black customers. ➡️ What this history tells us about economics, race, and resistance. This is a story of how everyday acts of commerce can become profound acts of defiance. Listen to EPISODE 347 now! Link in my bio.
