Do we understand racism as the primary driving engine of American inequality? Or do we focus instead on the indirect ways that frequently hard-to-discern class inequality and inegalitarian power relations can produce racially differentiated outcomes? Adaner Usmani, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Social Studies at Harvard and on the editorial board at Catalyst joined Elizabeth and John back in Fall, 2020, to wrestle with the subtle and complex genealogy of Southern plantation economy and its racist legacy. Adaner offers a complex genealogy of violence, mass incarceration and their roots in the social inequity (and iniquity) of antebellum economic relations. He emphasizes a frequently overlooked fact that a century ago Du Bois had already identified a key issue: the belatedness of African-American access to the social mobility offered by the North's industrialization, thanks to structures of a racist Southern agricultural economy that kept African-American workers away from those high-wage jobs. The result? An explanation for racial injustice that hinges on ossified class imbalances--contingent advantages for certain groups that end up producing (rather than being produced by) bigotry and prejudice.

Are you struggling to implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - or DEI - in your workplace or maintain dedicated funding for DEI initiatives? This month on the Well Woman Show, I interview Lily Zheng, a no-nonsense Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategist, and consultant who helps organizations and leaders achieve the DEI outcomes they need. Their most recent book, DEI Deconstructed, outlines how any leader can achieve DEI outcomes through cutting-edge, accountable, and effective practices. We discuss why organizations struggle with DEI work, why this work is so meaningful, and why it's up to leaders to start the DEI process. The books they mention are: The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (Anniversary) by Michelle Alexander White Women: Everything You Already Know about Your Own Racism and How to Do Better by Regina Jackson & Saira Rao As always, all the links and information are at wellwomanlife.com/314show The Well Woman Show is thankful for support from The Well Woman Academy™ at wellwomanlife.com/academy.

According to Ruha Benjamin, we're living inside someone else's imagination. An imagination that limits our ability to build a more just, liberated world. So, how do we take back our agency and begin to seed something different? Baratunde talks with Princeton professor and founding director of the Just Data Lab, Ruha Benjamin to find out. SHOW ACTIONS Internally Reflect - Bear witness and create a ripple This one is inspired from Ruha's book Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want which says: “…bear witness to the weight of individual and communal protective acts and consider how all of us can be involved in sheltering one another from the rain and sun by cultivating relationships, skills, accountability, and healing.” Think about when you witnessed someone near you perform an act of justice or kindness or protection for another. Was it a big or small act? Did it require courage? How did witnessing that make you feel about the world? Is it something you could repeat and further the impact? Become More Informed - Learn about racial justice Ruha recommends Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey and The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander both of which you can find on our Bookshop page.

The Hake Report, Thursday, March 23, 2023 AD – Opening clip: black guy interferes with police work and beats up white cop in fast food place. Mixed gal tweeted everybody knows they bring destruction. // Old viral clip: Military-looking "white" young man promotes cherry-picked data from ACLU propagandist Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness." // MMA/BJJ hero Jake Shields tweeted it's weird and unfortunate that former Black Lives Matter sympathizers (presumably non-black) in San Francisco are turning "racist" because blacks are given more of a pass on crime. // CALLS: Frederick in L.A.

Trump changed his mind on people protesting for him, according to his friend Dick Morris. // Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is on an ego trip as a woman who reached the highest office in the land.

New month greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's episode is all about roots and rooting. I've known my guest for more than half my life going back to our roots in Denver, Colorado. From our Angelic days walking the halls of East High High School to living in the lanes in and around Accra, Hasira Soul Ashemu and I have been able to stay connected thanks to social media and a spirit of inspiring and ushering change for marginalized people. Hasira, a community organizer, writer and entrepreneur, is the founder and chief visionary officer for Righteous Rage Institute. Born and raised in Northeast Denver, Colorado, he attended Howard University, “The Mecca,” and later travelled the world spending a decade living in Africa raising his family in Ghana. Hasira is a prolific writer, speaker, facilitator, communications professional who has been using his talents, experience and skills to create and support stimulating, engaging and innovative community initiatives that usher in social change. He is dedicated to the pursuit for social, equity, education and healing justice for society's most vulnerable children; Black, Brown, Indigenous, Special Needs and those living in poverty. And, his work includes organizing healing and learning journeys, consulting and coaching at the individual, community, national and international levels for nonprofit, corporate, governments, public school districts and higher learning institutions across the US and five African nations. Hasira is also a fellow podcaster; after you take in our conversation, make your way over to his podcast To Heal a People (https://www.tohealapeople.com/podcast)!

In today's episode I'm joined by fashion designer, educator and founder of the brand Arielle, Arielle Crawford. What sparked today's conversation was a piece she published in 2021 on her brand's website arguing against the use of prison labor in fashion. Her sustainable apparel label is not only committed to preserving the integrity of ethical labor and manufacturing within the industry, but it is also committed to serving as a leader in climate activism as well. Crawford serves as the leader of the Citizens' Climate Lobby's Fashion Industry Action Team. She also makes sure that through her own brand she is pioneering a path for fashion brands alike to engage in more sustainable and earth-friendly design practices. In today's discussion we'll talk about all of this and more! You can follow Arielle Crawford on Instagram to stay updated on all that she is doing to change fashion and the world from her homestead in Texas. Also be sure the shop the brand Arielle by checking out her website here. In today's discussion, Arielle also makes mention of Ava DuVernay's documentary film 13th and I agree that it is one you should definitely watch. You can find it on Netflix or on Netflix's Youtube account linked here. And as my final call-to-action, make sure you check out Michelle Alexander's book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.

This series was created to be a resource for white men who might be wrestling with questions like, “What's my role in anti-racism, equity, inclusion, and justice work as a white man with power and privilege?” and “How might my personal commitment to do this work manifest itself in the organization I help lead?” Are you new to the series?

In this discussion, we are joined by Redpill_spill an Instagram influencer who discusses some traps down the rabbit hole of the so-called criminal injustice system that imprisons more people of color than slavery in the antebellum United States. We take a glimpse at the "New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the age of color Blindness" a prolific book by Michelle Alexander, which proves the fact that slavery shifted away from plantation system to penal system in the for-profit irresponsible judicial system.

The term “school-to-prison pipeline” describes a phenomenon wherein children who should be getting an education instead end up trapped in the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex due racial discrimination and the criminalization of learning differences, trauma, and behavioral issues. Imagine if we treated the challenges some children have in the classroom as health problems and health injustice challenges requiring health interventions instead of disciplinary measures. In this episode, we speak with two researchers who are a part of a new initiative to develop just such an approach.

Brea talks about how her work is informed by radical love, how she confronts obstacles in the movement on both personal and organizational scales, and how we can push back against despair and dread, and come into our power — no matter where we're at.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. As we work our way towards learning how video games got age ratings in the United States by learning about how violent video games, led by Mortal Kombat, made people anxious about the impact of games on kids. This increased attention to Mortal Kombat and its imitators came at a time when Americans were really concerned about violence in society, especially youth violence. These circumstances, in turn, inspired some people to call upon the industry to rate itself, lest the federal government do it for them.Topics discussed include: Mortal Kombat clones, the 1993 “Summer of Violence,” the secret origins of Mokap, the underreported epidemic of centaur leg thefts, and how the media ruined the lives of countless children (but not in the ways you might think).Content warning: (20:00-1:08:48) Discussion of mass shootings, violent crime, gun violence, and mass incarceration.Important sources for this episode:Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (New York: The New Press, 2010).Theodore Chiricos, "Moral Panic As Ideology: Drugs, Violence, Race and Punishment in America," in Justice with Prejudice: Race and Criminal Justice in America, eds.

A Conversation Between African-American Author, Mark Winkler, and Dr. John Schinnerer This episode is an attempt to provide a way forward through the increasingly divisive topics of racism, white privilege, conscious and unconscious biases, how to identify them and how to address them. This episode is an effort to invite white people to come alongside black people; to increase their knowledge around racism; and to seek ways to take positive actions to support racial equality. It also an attempt to extend an open hand in support of people of color. The Evolved Caveman is committed to anti-racism. This is an attempt to join with Black people and other people of color. Now is the time when we anti-racist white people need to commit to having intentional conversations with the people in our lives and on social media who might be conflicted about the protests because of the narratives of violence and looting outlined by those with other agendas. We need to start these uncomfortable, yet critical, conversations.

Lauren and Nathan sit down to discuss the role of race in the jury selection process. Despite a lot of rhetoric from the courts about ending racism in the criminal justice process, jury selection remains on of the most transparent areas of race discrimination in the criminal justice system today. Each step of the jury selection process, from the initial drawing of names into the jury pool all the way to juror impanelment, operates to preclude racial minority jurors. The result is racially homogenized juries of mostly affluent white citizens. The reality of the all-white jury is that African Americans are over-represented as defendants in trials, but severely underrepresented as participants in the jury decision process. One of the main functions of the criminal jury is to give legitimacy to criminal justice system. When juries are disproportionately white and the operation of structural racism prevents a “fair cross-section” of society from participating in jury service, the verdicts from criminal trials are called into question. And subsequently, so is the fairness of the criminal justice system itself.

Lauren and Nathan discuss the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and how the Supreme Court has weakened its protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Under the current Fourth Amendment case law, police have unfettered discretion in how they conduct their investigations, which has helped to further perpetuate racial disparities in the criminal justice system.Episode One (Part Two) Research Notes:Books Referenced:Frank R. Baumgartner, Derek A. Epp, & Kelsey Shoub, Suspect Citizens: What 20 Million Traffic Stops Tell Us About Policing and Race (2018).Michael Tonry, Punishing Race: A Continuing American Dilemma (2011).Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (2011).Cases Referenced:Atwater v. City of Lago Vista, 532 U.S. 318 (2001) (holding that an officer’s subjective intentions for making a discretionary arrest are not relevant in the Fourth Amendment’s reasonableness analysis – setting the stage for pre-text arrests).California v. Acevedo, 500 U.S. 565 (1991) (Breyer, J., dissenting) (calling the conservative majority of the Court “loyal foot soldiers in the Executive’s fight against crime,” i.e. – War on Drugs based on the facts of the case).Florida v. Bostock, 501 U.S. 429 (1991) (holding police do not have to inform an individual of their right to refuse a consent search).Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989) (holding that officers’ subjective intentions do not play a role in the reasonableness analysis when determining whether an officer used excessive force).McCleskey v. Kemp, 481 U.S. 279 (1987) (reinforcing the purposeful discriminatory intent rule despite extremely strong evidence of disparate racial impact – virtually closing off all equal protections claims to sentencing).Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106 (1977) (allowing police to make drivers leave their cars during routine stops for officer safety).Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218 (1973) (holding consent was voluntarily obtained despite Bustamonte’s unawareness of his right to refuse consent, which provoked the dissent to point out how the “police [will] capitalize on the ignorance of citizens” to disregard the limitations placed on them by the U.S. Constitution).Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985) (holding an officer may not use excessive force “unless it is necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others”).Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968) (holding an officer’s “stop and frisk” of an African American man is constitutional under the Fourth Amendment as long as the officer had reasonable suspicion a crime is being committed).United States v. Mendenhall, 446 U.S. 544 (1980) (holding officer’s initial contact with an African American woman who fit a “drug courier profile” was not an unlawful seizure under the Fourth Amendment).Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229 (1976) (establishing the “purposeful discriminatory intent” requirement under equal protection law, largely ignoring disparate racial impact).Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 (1996) (accepting police pre-textual stops as constitutional under the Fourth Amendment and pointing to the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause as recourse for racially discriminatory stops).
Medien, wie Filme, Musik, Bücher oder auch Werbung spielen eine wichtige Rolle in dem Prozess der Identitätsbildung von Kindern und Jugendlichen aber beeinflussen uns auch als Erwachsenen. Wir sind nicht nur Konsumenten, sondern durch die sozialen Medien selbst auch Produzenten. Dabei sind wir uns oft nicht bewusst, inwiefern wir sexistische und rassistische Stereotype reproduzieren. Die folgenden Themen habe ich mit Grace Alele besprochen. Sie ist aus Konstanz und seit 3 Jahren aktiv bei Bridging Gaps e.V. - Warum eine stärkere Repräsentation von schwarze Menschen in den Medien nicht automatisch bedeutet, dass rassistische Diskriminierung überwunden ist. - Inwiefern die Werbung ganz subtil rassistische Stereotype reproduziert. - Warum wir auch in Filmen über Freundschaften oder Liebe ganz unterbewusst sexistische oder rassistische Botschaften erlernen. - Dass wir eben nicht frei entscheiden können, ob wir uns von den Medien beeinflussen lassen möchten. - Inwiefern die Medien von Geld und kapitalistischen Interessen beeinflusst werden.

In this episode, we speak with an Optimizely SE on a very important topic that needs to be discussed. We talk through how we can support and show up for our Black teammates in more meaningful and consistent ways. This episode amplifies Devin Saxon's voice as we hold a space to listen to his experience, and he shares ideas to help society move forward. Devin's recommended actions: 1) donate and support foundations: blacklivesmatter.com, gofundme.com/f/Anti-Racism-Fund, naacpldf.org, and knowyourrightscamp.com, 2) protests, 3) listen to Black people sharing perspectives, 4) most importantly, educate yourself!!

Monica has a phone conversation with dear friend, poet and incarcerated activist, Patrice Lumumba Daniels, currently serving life without parole in IDOC for a crime he committed at 18 years old. Patrice and Monica talk about one of his favorite books, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander. Banned from prisons in North Carolina and Florida, The New Jim Crow book dives deep into the ways that the U.S. Government has created a new, contemporary system of racial control through the prison system.

The New Year is a time of reflection, a time for looking forwards and a time to take stock. So in this light this will be a special, somewhat off-piste episode with just me at the microphone. This episode has three parts: In Part 1 I talk about some of the behind the scenes stories that go into making the LFP and share some of my thoughts about the challenges of the creative journey – a journey which many fintechs will have been through and are going through. In Part 2 I discuss the five themes that I expect to see in UK Fintech in 2015. These all go under the overarching banner of “2015 – The Year When Fintech Grows Up”. Less Spin A Shake-Out Fintech Maturing and Breaking-Up into Subsectors Group-Think in the Subsectors #NewFS Getting More Solid If Xmas is a time for traditional rituals like family, over-eating, and hitting Amazon Prime bigtime it’s also a time for thinking of those less fortunate than ourselves. If you work in Canary Wharf you will probably never see a homeless person there (I never have – are they kept out?). Meg Hillier the MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch points out that in Hackney a staggering 47% of children live in poverty :-O In Part 3 I discuss the wider societal impact of Fintech and its media narratives. Will Fintech, driven by the “billion dollar IPO narrative” end up being just another “get rich quick scheme” for a tiny few and become self-centred and greedy like the existing widely-disliked banking system? Is Fintech just about creating some new mega-corporates that will live in tall shiny buildings? Can Fintech be more than this? Can it have a social conscience, can Fintech contribute to society and make the world a better place? Let me know what you think! In my pre-Xmas mode of thinking of those less fortunate than ourselves I tweeted a few socially pertinent tweets under the hashtag #OccupyFintech. For those of you interested in this topic please feel free to use and amplify. You don’t even have to sleep outside in the cold in a tent In the next episode I’ll be back on the centre of the piste and we have some great guests coming up for the coming year. May 2015 be a great one for you and yours and all of society In part 3 I quote quite a few articles and stats in “joining the dots”. Here are some of the key refs: Oxfam Chart in the Guardian (via @FintechHK): Henry Blodget in Business Insider “Amazing Charts Show How 90% Of The Country Has Gotten Shafted Over The Past 30 Years” Wikipedia Incarceration in the US Daniel Wessel (via Dan Pink) on twitter Racial Lifetime stats of chances of a MALE baby born in the US in 2001 going to prison (I inadvertently omitted the word male in the podcast in quoting these stats).
