Jack Johnson, the first Black world heavyweight champion, and Jim Jeffries, the so-called "Great White Hope", slugged it out in Reno, Nevada on 4th July, 1910 - in one of the most explosive sporting events in American sports history. Literally billed as a battle for racial supremacy, the fight attracted 20,000 paying fans - and sparked the biggest race riots in the United States until the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.  Jeffries came out of retirement for a fat paycheck. Johnson danced circles around him, forcing his corner to throw in the towel by round 15. To many white Americans, this wasn't just a loss; it was an existential meltdown in boxing gloves. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Johnson's brashness and defiance made him a marked man; explore how his triumph resonated in Black America, just one generation after emancipation; and reveal what Sylvester Stallone contributed to his place in the history books...

Margaret Mitchell's first and only novel, Gone With The Wind, was released on 30th June, 1936, and delighted readers and critics alike, shifting millions of copies and scooping the Pulitzer Prize. But its romanticised tales of life in the South - complete with glorified depictions of slave labour and the Confederate Army - was divisive for African-Americans at the time, and is now recognised as overtly racist. Mitchell, a ‘flapper' who had a racy private life compared to her cohort, died after being struck by a car. But her magnum opus remains consistently ranked as one of America's favourite books. In this episode Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Martin Luther King, Jr. was involved in the premiere of the movie; consider an alternative name for the novel's lead character; and reveal the mind-boggling amounts of money paid for copies of the book, and the film rights… Further Reading: • ‘Margaret Mitchell's 'Gone With The Wind' Turns 75' (NPR, 2011): https://www.npr.org/2011/06/30/137476187/margaret-mitchells-gone-with-the-wind-turns-75 • ‘The Long Battle Over ‘Gone With the Wind'' (The New York Times, 2020): https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/14/movies/gone-with-the-wind-battle.html • ‘Gone with the Wind - By Margaret Mitchell.

Darrell Castle gives his best guess about some of the reasons for the attack on Iran's nuclear enrichment sites. Transcription / Notes WHY DID THE U.S. ATTACK IRAN? Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 27th day of June in the year of our Lord 2025. Next Friday is the 4th of July so barring some catastrophe there will be no Castle Report next week. I hope you have that day off so you can celebrate Independence as Joan and I will. Today, I speak not of Independence but of war once again as I try to discern some of the reasons for the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear enrichment sites. I will admit that the reasons for the actions of nations at this moment are normally nothing more than someone's or a group of someone's best guesses so I will make some guesses of my own today. The attack raised an important Constitutional issue because the Constitution gives only Congress the authority to declare war. That was just one example of the wisdom of the founders because the decision to go to war puts the entire nation's survival at risk. Perhaps, in this modern era we are expected to think differently and see that this attack was not such a Constitutional question because the last time the U.S. followed the Constitution in going to war was December 1941. Most politicians now on both sides of the aisle think and state publicly that the formal declaration of war is a relic of the past and just isn't done anymore. So, we are constantly at war but nothing is ever declared and that is very convenient for those who love war. The two political parties have apparently reached a consensus to let the president handle the decision alone and afterward they can criticize or praise him at their leisure. It's all just part of the theater of the absurd that we watch every day on our televisions or smart phones. Technology and speed are completely different now than in the days of the founders or even 1941. In the early days a debate about going to war might take months and there was little or no chance your adversary could learn of it before you acted but now those decisions take microseconds. It seems that in government today there are simply no secrets despite any top-secret classification, except for the very important secrets like JFK, RFK, MLK, the Epstein files, and of course 9/11. Those are the things we normal Americans are not supposed to know. For example, someone in the Pentagon or the defense intelligence agency leaked the top-secret bomb damage assessment or (BDA) of the attack which said it was unknown whether or not the nuclear enrichment capability of Iran survived the blast generated by 14 MOABs or mother of all bombs. A criminal investigation is underway to find the leaker. President Trump had previously told us that the nuclear sites had been “obliterated” by the bombing. When asked about it later he said that he got his BDA from Israeli Mossad agents who physically observed the sites. It turns out now that even the Iranians admit severe damage to the sites. Wars tend to be worse than expected. The ones who enter them expect and hope that the duration will be short and victory will come decisively and quickly but then reality sets in. For example, one could say that the Ayatollahs have been at war with Israel and the U.S. for forty-six years or the entire time they have held power in the Islamic Republic of Iran. They constantly inflame their people and incite international fear by leading chants in the streets of Tehran of “death to America” and “death to Israel.” It's not much of a stretch to believe that those two nations would see that as declaring open warfare and act accordingly. When someone screams for your death for 46 years perhaps you should consider paying attention because he might just be preparing the means to bring his ambitions into reality. That is one reason then for the attack i.e. to end the death to America threat.

Yes!  You are in!  Are you a strong man?  Are you a strong woman?  What is a strong man?  Whoa, lot's of questions.  That's what we do here.  Getting Real and Pursuing Truth, oh and if you dig that opening hook, that is Marcus Rogers, Best Life, please buy/subscribe his music, here you go...Thank you Robert D. Wooten, making his debut as the play of the day on FriDudes.  NPHX not your debut yet major kudos for having that strong man speak.  I strongly encourage you to listen to the rest of that message, which can be found at this link in the show description...https://youtu.be/5bneMdVZHxM?si=nhoBZHQ4eDIFhkHGWays of the world will judge and say what is toxic.  Toxic masculinity?  You know what I call toxic?  Saying that if you are a certain gender or race that you are automatically toxic.  That is discrimination.  The Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., a black life with whom we celebrate and even honor with a national holiday says, "Let us select by content of character...not by color of skin.".  Gender can apply to that statement too."I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Didn't we just have an episode on about not judging?  Yes!  And I so appreciate MLK Jr.'s words.  If we are to be judged, let it not by something trivial like skin color or gender, etc.  Character.  ISo let's get real and pursue some truth more.  We know the danger verse of judging (if not, back up one episode).  We know that verse that we are all flawed...Rom 3:23.  So we know there is no perfect character.  Yet we also know there are stronger characters than others.  We know a stronger character will show fruits of the spirit...Galatians 5:22 NLTBut the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulnessNLT: New Living Translationhttps://www.bible.com/bible/116/gal.5.22So a Strong Man = Strong Character.  Same with a strong woman.  Think about your favorite people.  Do you love people that take advantage of you or treat you with respect, the fruits mentioned above with character?  Yes, I love rhetorical questions.  Confession, at times, I have not been a Strong Man.  Avid listener, you know my dirt....if not back up, perhaps even to episode 1...if you dare.  Yet a Strong Man will confess in order to be healed, James 5:16.  A strong man will turn where needed and correct what can be corrected.  In progress right now.Are you worthy to be served/submitted?  Many religious like to point out wives submit to your husbands.  Not many point how it opens in Ephesians 5.  21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.  Eph 5:21https://www.bible.com/bible/116/EPH.5.NLTConfession, it is much easier to serve one another when we have our A games.  However, on the days we don't, what did/does your Jesus Christ do for you?  Does he forgive you?  If you believe and choose John 3:16 and Rom 8:1, then, yes, absolutely.  That's a Strong and Amazing Grace Savior.Matt 22: 36-40

Tech leaders promise that AI automation will usher in an age of unprecedented abundance: cheap goods, universal high income, and freedom from the drudgery of work. But even if AI delivers material prosperity, will that prosperity be shared? And what happens to human dignity if our labor and contributions become obsolete?Political philosopher Michael Sandel joins Tristan Harris to explore why the promise of AI-driven abundance could deepen inequalities and leave our society hollow. Drawing from his landmark work on justice and merit, Sandel argues that this isn't just about economics — it's about what it means to be human when our work role in society vanishes, and whether democracy can survive if productivity becomes our only goal.We've seen this story before with globalization: promises of shared prosperity that instead hollowed out the industrial heart of communities, economic inequalities, and left holes in the social fabric. Can we learn from the past, and steer the AI revolution in a more humane direction?Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on X: @HumaneTech_.

In this fiery and unfiltered episode, Shipwreck tackles the geopolitical firestorm surrounding Trump's precision strikes in Iran and the narrative whiplash that followed. From initial panic to the calm aftermath, she calls out the fear porn driving division on both sides, questioning the reactionary responses from figures like Candace Owens and Thomas Massie. With her signature sarcasm and straight talk, Shipwreck dissects Trump's nuanced handling of Israel, Iran, and NATO, suggesting strategic restraint and diplomatic leverage over regime change and war. The episode takes a sharp turn into cultural psyops, as she revisits the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., raising questions about historical narrative control and CIA influence. Wrapping it all in wit and realism, Shipwreck challenges listeners to break their own indoctrination, think critically, and stop defending a broken system. It's a rant-filled ride full of laughs, lightning storms, and diaper-wearing dogs, with a big middle finger to media manipulation and performative patriotism.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Ani DiFranco. ABOUT ANI DIFRANCOSinger, songwriter, musician, producer, poet, author, spoken-word artist, activist and entrepreneur Ani DiFranco has released more than 20 independent studio albums on her own label, Righteous Babe Records. Though often classified as “alternative folk,” DiFranco's musical influences span a range of genres. After relentless touring, she reached a wide commercial audience in the late 1990s and early 2000s with albums such as Little Plastic Castle, Up Up Up Up Up Up, Revelling/Reckoning, Evolve, Educated Guess, and the gold-certified live album Living in Clip. The Grammy winner and nine-time nominee achieved her sole Top 40 hit as a songwriter when Alana Davis covered the DiFranco classic “32 Flavors” in 1997. The prolific and critically-acclaimed performer developed her own uniquely percussive guitar style and has collaborated with a range of artists, including Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, Bruce Cockburn, Pete Seeger, Utah Phillips, Maceo Parker, and Prince. In addition to releasing her own music, her label has issued recordings by Sara Lee, Andrew Bird, Nona Hendryx, and others. Ani was one of the first musicians to receive the Woman of Courage Award from the National Organization for Women, and was honored with both the Woody Guthrie Award and the Southern Center For Human Rights' Human Rights Award. Her memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream, was released in 2019 by Viking Books. At the time we spoke with her, the New Orleans-based DiFranco's 2021 album, Revolutionary Love, was just about to be released. 

Cynthia McKinney has made a career of speaking her mind and challenging authority. With her opinions, actions, and even her sense of style, McKinney has inspired both admiration and controversy. McKinney´s political career began unofficially in 1986 when her father, Georgia State Representative Billy McKinney, put her name on the ballot as a write-in. Cynthia McKinney was living in Jamaica at the time and did not take the matter seriously; still, she garnered a large percentage of votes without even trying. Two years later, McKinney ran for and won the seat, creating the first father/daughter combination to serve together in the Georgia State House of Representatives. Cynthia immediately began making her own mark, defying House dress codes for women by wearing trousers instead of dresses. She spoke out against the first Persian Gulf War, and despite being in the House with her father, she often disagreed and voted against him. In 1992, McKinney won a seat in the US House of Representatives in Georgia´s newly created 11th district. She was the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the US Congress. McKinney became Secretary of her Democratic freshman class and was placed on both the Agricultural Committee and the International Relations Committee. Her gold tennis shoes and braided hairstyle became her trademarks, and effectively raised her profile on a House floor dominated by white men. Though a Democrat during President Clinton's tenure, McKinney voted against NAFTA, showing that she was not one to simply follow the Party line. McKinney worked hard in Washington to clean up pollution in her district and improve its rural roads. During her second term, McKinney earned distinctive committee assignments with the National Security Committee and the International Relations Committee's International Operations and Human Rights Subcommittee. A supporter of a Palestinian State in Israel-occupied territory, she sparked controversy by criticizing American policy in the Middle East. After the 9/11 attacks, McKinney suggested the President might have had prior knowledge of 9/11. The criticism she received from this highly controversial idea probably contributed to her defeat in the 2002 election; however, she ran for the seat again and was re-elected in 2004. Between terms in office, McKinney traveled the country and Europe, speaking against the war in Iraq war and also about her 2002 defeat, which she attributed to Republicans being organized to “cross over” to vote against her in the Democratic primaries. Her career, including this episode of her defeat, was made into a documentary film titled American Blackout. Once back in office, she continued her criticism of the Bush administration on the first anniversary of the 9/11 Commission Report by gathering victims' families and intelligence experts together on panels to address the flaws in the report and critique its recommendations regarding foreign and domestic policy. Believing the government should not keep secrets from the people, McKinney introduced legislation to release the documents related to the death of Tupac Shakur and twice submitted a bill to release the sealed documents pertaining to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. McKinney was very active in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and a vocal critic of the government's response. When Democratic Party leaders encouraged a boycott of a Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina, she chose to participate and submitted her own report on the matter. In 2007, McKinney left the Democratic Party to become a Presidential Candidate for the Green Party.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The year is 1968. Summertime. Washington, DC. And covering the National Mall are endless rows of shacks built by hundreds of poor families from across the United States.

The Poor People's Campaign is what he'd been working for in the months before he was killed in April 1968. The city would last for six weeks. It would inspire thousands. Its legacy would last for decades. This is episode 51 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

In observance of the legacy of Juneteenth, In Focus brings you a conversation with Willie Mae Brown, whose life was changed when she heard Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., speak in Selma.

One of the qualities of a godly person and a great nation is when justice is valued. It was in 1963 that Dr. Martin Luther King quoted the book of Amos in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech when he said, “We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses how we can be a people and nation that fulfills this message through the prophet Amos.

This week, Pastor Nate  continues our journey through the book of Proverbs by exploring the theme of self-control—a powerful, protective, and essential virtue for godly living.We start by reflecting on Proverbs 25:28, which compares a person without self-control to a city with broken-down walls—vulnerable and defenseless. Without self-control, we open ourselves to temptation, attack, and despair. But by applying the wisdom of Proverbs, we can begin rebuilding those protective walls.We focus on three key areas where self-control matters most:Guarding Our WordsProverbs teaches us to restrain our lips and think before we speak—not everything on our mind needs to be said. Wisdom comes when we acknowledge that we don't know it all and choose our words carefully, asking: Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind?Practicing PatienceProverbs 16:32 tells us that patience is more powerful than physical strength. We saw this modeled in the lives of Jackie Robinson, MLK Jr., and Joseph, who all overcame injustice through patient endurance. We, too, must fix our eyes on the reward, trusting God's timing.Delaying GratificationFrom time and money to food and technology, Proverbs urges us to store up wisely and avoid overindulgence. Lack of self-control in these areas leads to regret, unpreparedness, and bondage. Small, daily decisions in stewardship and restraint lead to long-term peace and freedom.Lastly, we look at self-control as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). This isn't just about willpower or Stoic philosophy. True self-control comes from walking with the Spirit, surrendering our fleshly desires to God, and letting His power work in us. It's not behavior modification—it's spiritual transformation.

The United States is in the midst of a propaganda and disinformation war, fueled by plutocrats and tech moguls like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who have harnessed technology for profit. Meanwhile, the American empire remains unchecked, its worst nationalist and jingoistic impulses amplified by political opportunism at the highest levels. The times demand serious, accessible intellectual work, but instead, our search for grounded perspectives is surrendered to the lazy pull of social media, leaving us unable to distinguish between deeply researched work, like James Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me, and polemics like Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me. As a result, debates over issues from the origins of Hip Hop to the legacy of Jimmy Carter reflect how vulnerable our society is to cultural mythmaking disguised as truth.This obsession with simplistic narratives plays out globally, with education becoming a battleground in places like the US and Syria. Curriculum debates reveal a struggle over shaping minds and controlling knowledge—whether education serves enlightenment or power. The entire system feels as futile as ice skating uphill, an exhausting and impossible task. What does education really achieve in this context? Does it enlighten us, or complicate our understanding of a world growing more disconnected? Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a World House seems increasingly distant, replaced by virtual realities manipulated by forces spreading influence at any cost.Meanwhile, the existential threat of global warming is no longer abstract. Weather events, like the fires ravaging Los Angeles, serve as harsh reminders of the consequences of environmental neglect. As smoke clouds our skies, we are left to ask: How do we fight the overwhelming tide of manipulation, racism, monopoly capitalism, nationalism, and climate destruction? How do we cultivate a genuine care for our shared humanity? Without this, education, climate action, and even our most cherished ideals unravel.The real test is whether we can rise above the noise—the propaganda, ego, and division—and see each other as part of a shared human struggle. Only then can we confront the true challenges of our time—education, climate change, unchecked power—and maybe, just maybe, create a future where we are more than the sum of our divisions.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For this special Juneteenth conversation, Don Lemon sits down with John Conyers III to reflect on the meaning of the day, the long fight for Black freedom, and the legacy of his father, the late Congressman John Conyers, one of the longest-serving members of Congress and a tireless advocate for civil rights. From introducing the original bill to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a national holiday to pushing for reparations and justice reform, Rep. Conyers left behind a powerful legacy of progress. In this intimate and thoughtful interview, his son opens up about what that legacy means today and why the work is far from over. A powerful reminder that Juneteenth is not just about history, but about the future we're still building. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

1963 changed the course of U.S. history. It included the assassinations of civil rights leader Medgar Evers and President John F. Kennedy. 1963 was also the year of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a dream” speech that day. Future congressman John Lewis also spoke. This hour, we’re breaking down a pivotal year in the civil rights movement with Peniel E. Joseph. GUEST: Peniel E. Joseph: Professor of History; Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

In the response to the LA anti-ICE protests, a large number of Democrats have called for peaceful non-violence in the spirit of MLK Jr. We review the history of the Civil Rights movement and how change actually took place. And we come to the conclusion that today's Democrats are the white moderate that MLK Jr warned us about. This includes progressive darlings Bernie Sanders and AOC, who recently headlined a Fight the Oligarchy tour. What is the Fight the Oligarchy tour actually doing? Why is this event relevant today? Why do we need to break with the Democrats and have class independent leadership? We can't build a serious resistance movement to endless war, climate collapse and capitalist catastrophe within the Democratic Party. Bernie's Fight the Oligarchy tour, which is starting up again, is actually enabling and collaborating with the oligarchy. Bernie used to be much more radical before he allied with the Democratic Party. But today, Bernie Sanders has become the white moderate that MLK Jr. warned us about.

[REBROADCAST FROM June 2023] On Juneteenth, listen to our special presentation of all six installments of a Full Bio conversation about King: A Life, the first comprehensive account of Martin Luther King Jr. in three decades, written by Jonathan Eig, in recognition of King's fight for rights a century after enslaved people were emancipated.

In the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr., gets a holiday partly because he challenged Americans to live up to their own ideals and extend freedom and equality to people of all races. Partly because he delivered this challenge peacefully, with no violence. Partly because he paid for this cause with his life. And partly because he had a great wife, who stood by him. Coretta Scott King was also an activist, also risked danger, also spoke, protested, and lobbied. And America changed. Racism is not dead, sadly, but African Americans have far more opportunities than Coretta had in her youth, in part due to her efforts.

In today's service, we explore John 2:1-11, the story of the wedding at Cana where Jesus performed His first miracle by turning water into wine. More than just a celebration-saving act, this story is rich with symbolic meaning, offering profound insights into transformation, divine timing, and the abundance of God's grace.Through a unique lens—what we call the psychological hermeneutic—we'll dive deep into how Scripture speaks to our souls, bypassing the ego and leading us into deeper truths. Where in your life do you feel like the “wine has run out,” and how might God be inviting you to trust in His power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary?

What does justice really mean? In this special short clip from Episode 38 of See You In Court, attorney Douglas Amar reflects on one of the most profound definitions of justice—drawing from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he shares that "justice is love correcting that which revolts against love." He explores how justice and mercy are not opposites but deeply intertwined—expressed through grace, redemption, and the courage to uplift people and society. It's a heartfelt and timely reminder that real justice isn't just about the law—it's about humanity.

In this deeply moving Season 7 finale episode, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Dorsey Odell Blake, beloved faculty member, mentor, tireless advocate for justice, and prophetic voice in the Pacific School of Religion (PSR) community and beyond, who passed away in March 2025.

Inspired by personal encounters with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights leaders, he pursued a theological education rooted in justice, compassion, and community.

The Buddha created the sangha, or community, of monastics, but his teaching spread to every level of society and we can each be part of a sangha. In this talk Mary discusses the ethical foundations of such a community and how we can create a wise and supportive community where we are. Recalling the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's idea that we "are tied together in a single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable net of mutuality" and Thich Nhat Hanh's idea of Interbeing, Mary invites us to reflect on community or sangha in our own lives.Recorded June 14, 2025 in the virtual worldBhikkhu Bodhi: The Buddha's Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony Larry Yang: Awakening TogetherSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, in the reading of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38–42), Christ the Lord says:"You have heard that it was said,An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil.When someone strikes you on your right cheek,turn the other one to him as well.”Christianity teaches us how to face evil. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. adopted these non-resistance to evil techniques, although they missed the true faith.Essentially, we Christians avoid mirroring back aggressors' attacks and offenses.We refuse to cooperate with their earthly violence or tricks. We reject the Jewish assertion of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.To offenses we respond with forgiveness and merciful love.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

How much of America would we need to mobilize to stop Trump's power grab? According to political scientist Erica Chenoweth, it takes 3.5 percent—the threshold after which every protest movement, across the world, has been successful. Against the backdrop of the anti-ICE and No Kings protests, the national guard deployment, and Donald Trump's birthday pageant, Chenoweth joins the show to break down the math of the 3.5 percent rule, explain why nonviolence is the key to meeting it, and to share the lessons the civil rights movement can teach us about staying unified, organized, and disciplined in the fight against authoritarianism.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by personality, podcaster, and Atlanta transplant Sy Ari Da Kid for a spirited, sometimes ignorant—but always intentional—debate on the cultural divide between the North and the South, specifically New York and Atlanta. The conversation unpacks everything from fashion, food, and regional etiquette to politics, gun laws, and religion, all through a lens of lived experience. The hosts challenge one another on cultural bias, safety, and identity, while drawing bold comparisons between figures like Jay-Z, Martin Luther King Jr., and Pop Smoke. With A-King and Jason Rodriguez weighing in, the crew ultimately attempts to settle the score on which region has had the greatest impact on the culture. It's hilarious, heated, and honest. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Pre Sale LinkFollow the Guests: IG:@syaridakidWatch the full videos of each episode by subscribing to Patreon at Patreon.com/selectiveignoranceFollow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumpsFollow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveigpod

This week on The Monday Edit, we have a very special guest joining in on the Monday fun: best selling author Anna Malaika Tubbs stopped by to tell us all about her new book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and helps us hone in on real time examples of our Patriarchy is being weaponized today. Anna unpacks how the United States has constructed a unique—and often invisible—gendered hierarchy, one that is inextricably linked to whiteness and a deeply flawed binary system. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court, from the erasure of women in the Constitution to the ongoing fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, Dr. Tubbs reveals the mechanisms that have kept women's contributions hidden and their voices suppressed. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a scholar, advocate, and bestselling author (The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation) whose work brings a fresh, urgent perspective on American history and its gendered systems. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into clear and engaging stories. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, The Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, former Mayor of Stockton, CA Michael Tubbs  and their three young children. Not A Phase.
