The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/18/26: The "My White Friends" / "Not All White People Are Racist" Edition. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the fatal consequences of non-white proximity to whiteness, institutional theft, and state-sanctioned violence: The Myth of the Protective White Friend Circle: We dissect the horrific reality of Black victims who perished while surrounded by individuals they considered friends. We look at the ongoing grief of Nolan Wells' family as they demand transparency into his death on a remote Mississippi island, alongside the parents of Daniel Erving who are demanding murder charges following evidence tampering arrests in his drowning. We apply counter-racist logic to show why non-white people cannot afford the delusion of safety among groups of white peers. The Desecration of Sade Robinson's Legacy: We investigate the sickening development out of Milwaukee where the family of murdered 19-year-old Sade Robinson discovered her remaining personal belongings were stolen from a storage facility. We deconstruct the unique malice required to targetedly pillage the estate of a dismembered Black youth, exposing a system that denies peace to Black victims even after death. Mental Health Crisis Executive Executions: We break down a disturbing Memphis task force incident where agents shot and killed a Black male who was undergoing an active mental health crisis. We contrast this state violence with New York reports tracking the systematic theft of SNAP benefits from impoverished residents, proving that the legal and enforcement wings of the system operate concurrently to deplete Black life and livelihood. The Illiteracy Pipeline & Digital Control: We decode PBS News segments detailing why fewer Americans are reading for pleasure in a "post-literate age" alongside the rapid expansion of automated "Flock" surveillance cameras in local communities. We analyze how municipal surveillance grids and cognitive regression are engineered together to weaponize public spaces against non-white autonomy. INVEST in The COWS!

In our latest poll with NPR and PBS News, Donald Trump hits several record lows on his approval among Americans. The economy appears to be the main driver of this as rising costs continue to shape daily decisions, from filling up at the gas pump to planning a summer getaway. While most Americans still expect to take a vacation, many say financial pressures have forced them to adjust their plans. We also look at the political implications of those economic concerns as President Trump's ratings continue to slide. His approval on the economy has fallen to a new low in Marist Polling, and his overall job approval now stands at the lowest point of his second term. Then, we turn to the 2026 FIFA World Cup and whether Americans are actually ready for the world's biggest sporting event. While the tournament is larger than ever, with 48 nations, 104 matches, and a final at MetLife Stadium, most Americans say they are not especially interested. We look at why public excitement remains relatively muted, why expectations for the U.S. team are modest, and how concerns about affordability have made attending a match feel out of reach for many fans. We also examine the controversy surrounding ICE's role at stadiums and the fierce partisan divide over immigration enforcement at the tournament. And, we finish of with a fun fact and lively discussion about hand dominance.
