Season 2: Race and Voting Rights Episode 5: The Role and Impact of the Courts Among the many facets related to race and voting rights, one element front and center in today's headlines is the role and impact of the courts. Historically and today, court decisions have had - and continue to have - a clear and decisive impact on a person's ability to vote, especially people of color. In this episode, host the Rev. Kathy Walker is joined by two guests who are actively involved in this work with tremendous insight to share: returning guest Professor Irving Joyner, award-winning professor of law at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) School of Law and legal commentator for local, state and national media; and Dr. Carol Anderson, Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of the bestselling and award-winning books White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide and One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy.

Are you isolating yourself from change? Keeping your life at its status quo? If so, the quality of your life will gradually decline.  Take advantage of the assets, resources, and knowledge of your friends to help you evolve. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Avoid the cost of not evolving from different perspectives…   Business Adapt to changes or face extinction! For example, self-service in financial technology work has improved dramatically. Traditional brokerage firms like Merrill Lynch needed to adapt or sell. They sold to Bank of America and the brand name is being phased out.   Cryptocurrency Understand the concepts behind crypto on a conversational level so that you can assess business trends. I disagree with those who say cryptocurrency and NFTs are just a fad. I believe that they are a part of Fintech that's here to stay.    Fitness If you want to avoid becoming shorter, keep on exercising to stay fit. As we get older, our joints become less flexible and bones become more brittle unless we exercise! For several years I have been doing pilates, and lately, I found out that I'm taller than I used to be. It's also interesting to note that a man in his 60s whom I play pickleball with, still plays soccer for two hours a week with people in their 20s! He's still evolving!   Social Dynamics I started reading more about racism and the impact that slavery had on social dynamics in our country after the death of George Floyd.  One book that I highly recommend is White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, by Carol Anderson.

This week's episode is a conversation between two white Americans, directed at calling our white listeners into a conversation about race. To our non-white listeners, we invite you to listen and reach out if there is anything we could improve on. We are still unlearning & relearning, but to stay silent is to be complicit so we are using what platform we have to hold space for this essential conversation. Robin DeAngelo popularized the term white fragility with her book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism. This book is a great place to start if you're a white person looking to unlearn some of your internalized racism. There is some controversy surrounding it, so I will say it is not a perfect book - but no single book on racism ever will be. An easy break down of the concept of white fragility can be found in these articles: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/a-sociologist-examines-the-white-fragility-that-prevents-white-americans-from-confronting-racism https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/summer-2019/whats-my-complicity-talking-white-fragility-with-robin-diangelo A much more in depth, scientific dive into the concept can be found in this journal article by Robin herself: https://libjournal.uncg.edu/ijcp/article/viewFile/249/116 White Rage is a term popularized by Carol Anderson's book White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide. I haven't read this one, so I can't speak to it. However, a fantastic breakdown of how white rage has divided this country since President Obama's election can be found here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-white-rage-driving-our-racial-divide/2016/06/22/fbeec9fc-22a8-11e6-aa84-42391ba52c91_story.html White Dominate Culture Norms are the norms & standard practices that exist throughout this country that make public spaces more comfortable & safe for white people than anybody else. Here is a great, short list of examples and their alternatives! https://www.cacgrants.org/assets/ce/Documents/2019/WhiteDominantCulture.pdf Finally, if you're in the UK I suggest Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, by Reni Eddo-Lodge. It is written by an incredible Black, feminist, British woman who explores the specific brand of racism that exists in the UK. For other areas of the world, please reach out - I'm happy to help find resources that are specific to your geopolitical location. Racism & white supremacy are a global problem, but they do show up a bit differently depending on where you're located.

In the US, our Black brothers and sisters, whose forced physical, mental, and emotional labor built so many of our communities, are asking for presence from those of us who aren’t Black. And this isn’t new. They've been asking. They’ve been fighting for their lives for four hundred years—four hundred years too long.As host Erin Wilson shares in this episode: Throughout the war with ISIS, Preemptive Love chose to stay in Iraq. We chose to travel to the frontlines and stand with the people being crushed by violence and oppression. We did it out of love...and for some, that mattered. It mattered that we chose to stay. It mattered that we put our bodies on the line with theirs.And now we, all of us, need to show up on the frontlines in the US, too. In the midst of a wave of protests sweeping all 50 states, and on at least four continents, declaring the truth that Black Lives Matter, we have a chance to make our presence matter.In this breaking episode, we hear from:Faitth Brooks, director of programs for Be The Bridge and co-host of Melantated Faith podcast. Faitth shares what it looks like to be a co-conspirator by stepping behind the marginalized and supporting the work without co-opting or centering.Nick Mahlstadt, friend of Preemptive Love and father of seven, shares what he's learned about stepping out in front — not to co-opt or take over— but to literally stand between the oppressed and their oppressor.Both Faitth and Nick also share the idea that being anti-racist means showing up to do the everyday, unglamorous work of justice.Visit show notes page.Links from this episode:Melanated Faith podcast Be The BridgeThe Move ProjectFaitth's Book Recommendations:How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X.

What is white privilege, where may have it come from, and how to best navigate your understanding going forward is what we discuss on part one of today's podcast with Katie Pierce.On the back of George Floyd's, death and the Black Lives Matter Riots, now is the time and when the world is ready to get uncomfortable. For the first time in history, we are still enough to join together and approach an issue that has been facing indigenous people all over the world.I wanted to understand what white privilege is, how I can better discuss it, and what we can do to help in making a change.This subject has been at the top of my podcast list since I started and one of the reasons The Talking Stick came about.The lack of acknowledgment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Australian constitution as the first peoples really opened up my interest in this subject and how in 2020 this is still the case.Join me as Katie lets us know her understanding, times when she has felt her privilege and her extensive experience from immersing herself in different cultures all over the world.Whether George Floyd was a good man, whether the incident happened or not, whether more white or black people die a year, or whether you agree with the protests or not, the overarching issue is racism in this world and our responsibility to approach and make a change.There is no going back from this. there is a change coming and I'm sure you, like myself, are proud to be a part of it and I am ready to feel uncomfortable. Please find below some resources put together by Katie. Thank you endlessly. MOVIES: 1. Whose Streets? A non-fiction account of the Ferguson uprising told by people who lived it -- an unflinching look at the murder of 18-year-old Michael Brown and how it inspired his community and the world to fight back 2. Do The Right ThingA quintessential movie about police brutality. Spike Lee joint that highlights the choke-hold, murder of black people at the hands of the police, and mirrors much of what we're still fighting for today. 3. Fruitvale StationGut-wrenching to watch called a modern-day "Do The Right Thing". About a 22-year-old black man shot to death by police at a metro station.  3. When They See USBased on the Central Park Five case, where 5 black teens we're trapped by police after being accused of a brutal attack in Central Park (very famous in the US + NYC) 4. The Death and Life of Marsha P. JohnsonAs she fights the tide of violence against trans women, activist Victoria Cruz probes the suspicious 1992 death of her friend Marsha P. Johnson, who is a black trans woman credited with starting the gay rights movement 5. MoonlightExpress the wholeness of black men. Grief, trauma, and black LGBTQ experience 6. The Glass ShieldStory of a Black police recruit in L.A., examining several incidents of racist behavior amongst the cops and within the legal system 7. The Black Power Mixtape 1967 - 1975Looking at the people, society, culture, and style that fueled an era of convulsive change, this film utilizes the mixtape format in a cinematic and musical journey into the Black communities of America.  8. Malcolm X Another Spike Lee joint, basically Malcolm X's biography put to screen. "If you're serious about being anti-racist and an ally, consider this the foundation of your history lesson. You have to know what we've gone through and what we've overcome and what we still need to knock down to understand what's happening today," Arienne Thompson 8. Burn Motherfucker Burn! An in-depth look at the 1992 L.A. riots exploring the roots of civil unrest in California and the relationship between African Americans and the LAPD 9. 13th A documentary from Ava DuVernay about the prison industrial complex from the 1800s through Trump's presidential campaign 10. The Hate U GiveBased on Angie Thomas' young-adult novel, this is the story of a black girl growing up in a black "inner-city" community and going to an all-white private school in modern-day US; police brutality, black identity, and BLM are central themes.  TV SHOWS:Dear White PeopleBased on Justin Simien's movie, I *highly* recommend this for 18-30yrold white people. Tackles the ways in which Black people are made to police themselves while living in/with predominantly white institutions.  The WireTackles themes like drug wars and the education system; is an excellent education in the structural realities of racism and the overwhelming experience of being Black in the US.  Black-ishFollows an upper-middle class Black family living in a predominantly white neighborhood and job, navigating micro-aggressions and racism from their colleagues, friends, and environment. Entry level, but useful... if you can only watch one episode watch "Hope".  Pose1980's NYC gay/trans ball culture. Highlights the lived experiences of gay+trans people of color, and the intersection of the oppression of Black people and dLGBTQ people. This show has the largest cast of LGBTQ characters in history.  The ChiSimilar to the wire, but painting the picturing of the South side of Chicago, one of the most deadly places in America. This show forces you to think beyond the headlines and crime statistics that plague the community (and many communities of color globally).  BOOKS + EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: 1.

“We can be Spiritual and angry at the same time. We can be Spiritual and take action at the same time.”   In the interview today, I am talking with a podcast listener, June. Divya is also back to co-host with me! June tells us how, as a Black woman, she is aware that when she is with white women, she is aware that they are filtering what they are saying to her. June shares what it’s like to be in a bi-racial relationship in the Midwest. We talk about implicit bias, actions you can take to support the Black community, Spiritual bypassing, and the importance of having difficult conversations.    I am learning so much through these beautiful women, and through all of you! Together, I know we can evolve, grow, and change to make a better future. We need to acknowledge the racist problems that exist in our communities rather than sweep it under the rug. These are Global issues causing pain for so many. In order for healing to begin in the Black community, we must say yes, there is a problem. I see it. We need to acknowledge we played a role in this problem with our silence and with our passiveness. We have work to do, friends.   Want to Learn More?

How a Legacy of Racist Policies and Police Brutality Contributed to the Mass Disenfranchisement of Black People The death of George Floyd, an African American man, at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis has ignited protests and conversations surrounding the mistreatment of Black Americans at the hands of the state against the backdrop of a pandemic that is disproportionately affecting Black people. Americans in every state have taken to the streets to protest police brutality and chant "Black Lives Matter." A look at the history of Black disenfranchisement, failures in leadership and policy, and the role ongoing protests will play in the general election.   Guests: Adam Serwer, Staff Writer at The Atlantic covering politics Elizabeth Hinton, incoming Professor of History, law and African-American studies at Yale and the author of “From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America” Carol Anderson, Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of "White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide" Mayors, Past and Present Since George Floyd was killed by police officers in Minneapolis, demonstrations against police brutality have taken place across the United States. For mayors, listening to the protester's grievances and balancing them against the responsibility of engaging with police chiefs is a challenging task.  A conversation with Michael Tubbs, the first Black Mayor of Stockton, California, about addressing police brutality at the local level and what he hopes will come from the protests. Plus, a conversation with former San Antonio Mayor, Julián Castro. As a candidate for the Democratic nomination, Castro spoke often about the pattern of police brutality and how bias in the criminal justice system disproportionately impacts Black Americans. He reflects on his time as mayor, ending police brutality, and the future of the movement.  Guests:  Michael Tubbs, Mayor of Stockton, California Julián Castro, former Mayor of San Antonio and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development How Demonstrations Across the U.S. have changed the Vice Presidential Selection Process A national conversation about race and the lack of police accountability has shifted the trajectory of the VP selection process for the Biden campaign. With the disparities in health care that coronavirus has underscored and the brutal killing of George Floyd, the selection process faces heightened scrutiny.  Guests:  David Siders, National Political Correspondent at Politico

In the wake of the senseless injustice over the recent deaths of black people (Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd), I found my voice in time to record this, what I hope will be powerful, insightful and accountable episode of the podcast.  For days and days I couldn't find my words so I just prayed.  Prayed because I am tired.  Prayed because the black woman in me didn't know what else to do. This is not okay. I have been asking myself "What's going on?" for days and days only to be given an unction to pray.  Pray because there are no words to describe how I, a black woman, who is married to a black man desiring to have black babies can make sense of the targets on the backs of my people for no good reason. As a black woman leader, as difficult as it is, I cannot sit silently.  As Martin Luther King, Jr himself exclaimed, "there comes a time when silence is betrayal." As cities burn and people fume, we must do better. And I am doing my part to help us to do just that. So, I'm speaking up because I can.  I should.  I must.  And even though this is uncomfortable everything thing I said had to be said. In this episode, I'm making a call to action with 12 Keys for every person who doesn't condone the injustice pillaging through black community after black community.  It is my prayer that as you listen, you are empowered, your are equipped, you are hopeful for being the change you want to see in the world and most importantly you are prepared to do something about that question on everyone's lips:  What's going on?.

"As we shift our understanding from racism and white supremacy as an “individual aberration” expressed through outright violence and open discrimination — viral videos of police shootings or Civil Rights-era images of dogs used against nonviolent protesters — to something “systemic, institutional, and pervasive” — say, that black students are three times more likely to be suspended from school than white students — , it is so vitally important for us as teachers to understand our individual and collective complicity, how our supposed “colorblindness” fails us and the children we teach, as well as our individual and collective power to resist these structures in our classrooms."

This conversation with Yale psychologist and MacArthur genius Jennifer Richeson first appeared a year ago, and it’s one of my favorites. But I wanted to repost it now for two reasons. First, it’s as a necessary companion to Monday’s conversation with Robert Jones over changing religious dynamics. Richeson focuses on racial demographic change, and in particular, how the perception of losing demographic power pushes people’s politics in a sharply conservative direction. I don’t think it’s possible to understand our politics in this moment without understanding this research. Second, it’s July Fourth, and this conversation makes me feel patriotic. America has its problems, but it’s to our great and enduring credit that we are at least trying to navigate a transition to being a true multiethnic liberal democracy. Other countries have collapsed into violence and civil war over far less. It’s easy to look back on history and think that the great political challenges belonged to past generations and we’re merely drafting off their achievements. But it’s not true. We’re navigating an unprecedented political transition in our own time. If we make good on its promise — on this country’s promise — we’ll deserve our place in the history books, too.

When Democratic Senator Doug Jones won his election in Alabama against Roy Moore last year, many credited his victory to the large turnout among African American voters. Yet more than 100,000 Alabama voters can’t vote because they don’t have the ID required by the state. Most of the people who are affected by strict voting regulations, in Alabama and elsewhere, are people of color.Today, a conversation about voting. In a lot of places, and for a lot of people, registering to vote and the act of voting itself is hard. While there is consensus that Democracy is best served when most people are engaged in the Democratic process, there is much less agreement about how voting should be made both uncorrupted and easy for individual voters.Tom’s guest is Dr. Carol Anderson, the Charles Howard Chandler Professor of African American Studies at Emory University, author of, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide.

America is changing. A majority of infants are, for the first time in US history, nonwhite — and the rest of the population is expected to follow suit in the coming decades. The number of religiously affiliated Americans is at a record low, and the share of foreign-born residents is at a historically high level. What happens to a country amid this kind of demographic change and strain? What does it do to our politics, to our identities, to our worldview? I’ve come to believe that you can’t understand politics in America right now without understanding these changes and how they act on us psychologically. And to understand these changes, you need to talk to Yale psychologist Jennifer Richeson, who has done pioneering work on the way perceptions of demographic threat and change affect people’s political opinions, voting behavior, and ideas about themselves. I believe this is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on this podcast for understanding America today — and I also know it’s just the start of trying to understand these questions.

Carol Anderson is a professor of African-American studies at Emory University and the author of White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide. Anderson’s book emerged from a viral op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post in 2014, amid the backlash to the Ferguson, Missouri, protests. She writes: "The operative question seemed to be whether African Americans were justified in their rage, even if that rage manifested itself in the most destructive, nonsensical ways. Again and again, across America’s ideological spectrum, from Fox News to MSNBC, the issue was framed in terms of black rage, which, it seemed to me, entirely missed the point.” "That led to an epiphany: What was really at work here was white rage. With so much attention focused on the flames, everyone had ignored the logs, the kindling. In some ways, it is easy to see why. White rage is not about visible violence, but rather it works its way through the courts, the legislatures, and a range of government bureaucracies. It wreaks havoc subtly, almost imperceptibly.” Anderson, a historian, set about chronicling white rage and its core trigger: black advancement. It’s a lens that makes sense not only of our past but, given this political moment, our present, too. And as you’ll hear in this conversation, it gives Anderson perspective on a question that has been obsessing me of late: Is this moment as bad as it feels, and as many of the guests on this show have suggested? Or does our level of alarm reflect of an overly nostalgic sense of our past and the way past affronts to our political ideals have cloaked themselves in more normal garb? One note on this conversation: This was taped before Sam Harris resurrected our debate about race, IQ, and American history. So though much that Anderson says bears powerfully on my most recent podcast — as you’ll hear, Anderson brings up Charles Murray’s work unbidden — this is a separate discussion, even as it centers around many of the same themes. That makes it particularly useful if you’re still working through the questions raised in that debate.
