This week's episode is coming out on Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. But before we can get to our discussion about it (including how JD Vance recently introduced a “Dismantle DEI” bill to roll back Biden's diversity programs), it seems there's always more reproductive healthcare news to talk about. Last week, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to protect the right to IVF, and the Southern Baptist Church just voted to oppose IVF as well. And that's not even the only repro news to talk about, because the Supreme Court just rejected a challenge to mifepristone, the abortion pill, saying there was no standing to sue. This is good news... but (there's always a “but”!) this decision allows them to delay a merits decision on this issue until after the election. The fight is far from over.Then Jasmine sits down with Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead, a professor, author, and leader who is also known as the #BlackMommyActivist. Dr. Kaye is an incredible storyteller and walks us through the origins of Juneteenth, how being a mom has inspired her activism, and how it's not just famous leaders but also everyday people who have done the hard work to make real change. We encourage everyone to learn more about her work with the African American Policy Forum and Critical Race Theory Summer School, as well as read her book Letters to My Black Sons: Raising Boys in a Post-Racial America.Finally, Amanda and Jasmine raise a glass to fathers and family reunions in this week's Toast to Joy.It's hard to believe, but this Monday will mark 2 years since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v Wade. If you want to learn about how you can fight for reproductive freedom, we invite you to join Red Wine & Blue and Sister District for a virtual event this Monday June 24th at 8pm Eastern.And don't forget to sign up for our Substack newsletter! It's free and we'd love to hear from you in the comments.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

Vanessa I. Corredera's book Reanimating Shakespeare's Othello in Post-Racial America (Edinburgh Univeristy Press, 2022) looks at how that seventeenth-century play and its protagonist was imagined in theatre, television, and other media between 2008 and 2016. Corredera's analysis ranges from the sketch comedy Key & Peele to Keith Hamilton Cobb's play American Moor, from ever-persistent tradition of minstrel Othello to the reimagining of Shakespeare's play by writers of color. Bringing together examples of cultural texts that perpetuate anti-black racism and other artifacts that offer anti-racist possibilities, Corredera's book helps us to understand this recent moment in U.S. history. At times, to quote Reanimating Shakespeare's Othello in Post-Racial America, creators like Serial's Sarah Koenig “have operationalize[d] what this book demonstrates is in fact the common Othello narrative without truly thinking about its force, wielding Shakespearean authority without any regard as to the potentially subjugating purpose for which she is employing it” (127). Other reanimations invite us to shift our perspective and, by extension, reconsider our identifications with characters such as Desdemona or Iago. Vanessa I. Corredera is Department Chair and Professor of English at Andrews University. Corredera's scholarship has appeared in Literature Compass, Borrowers and Lenders, Shakespeare Quarterly, and The Routledge Handbook to Shakespeare and Global Appropriation. Corredera also just published Shakespeare and Cultural Appropriation, which is co-edited with Geoffrey Way and L. Monique Pittman (Routledge, 2023). In addition to scholarship, Corredera is a celebrated teacher having won campus-wide honors including the Daniel S. Augsburger Excellence in Teaching Award and the Undergraduate Research Mentor Award. During the conversation, Vanessa discusses Brandi K. Adams's article “Black ‘(un)bookishness' in Othello and American Moor: A Meditation” (Shakespeare, 2021), Keith Hamilton Cobb's American Moor (Methuen, 2020), Carol Anderson's White Rage (Bloomsbury, 2016), Kim Hall's edition of Othello (Bedford/St. Martin's, 2006), Imani Perry's Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop (Duke University Press, 2004), Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017), and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's Racism Without Racists (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2003). John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J. Leeds Barroll Prize, given by the Shakespeare Association of America.

Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in a devastating rollback of rights. So for the 91st episode of Private Parts Unknown, we are countering a common misconception that people who are already moms don't get abortions or aren't pro-abortion. But that's not true: According to 2019 CDC statistics, 60% of people who get abortions are already mothers. So today, host Courtney Kocak speaks with reporter, abortion activist, AND mom Robin Marty, in addition to writer, speaker, and mom activist Christine Michel Carter about why abortion access is necessary, even for people who WANT to be pregnant, how to talk to your kids about abortion, and more. Robin Marty is the author of Handbook for a Post-Racial America and the updated New Handbook for a Post-Roe America, in addition to several other books, and she's currently the director of operations for the West Alabama Women's Center. Christine Michel Carter is the author of MOM AF and Can Mommy Go To Work?

During his childhood, Mr. Qualls lived with his divorced mother and siblings in public housing projects of Harlem, NY in the late 1960s. Before middle school, Mr. Qualls left NYC to live with his father who lived in a trailer park in Oklahoma. Neither of his parents finished high school. Despite the challenges and turmoil of his early life, Mr. Qualls worked full-time to pay for college, served as an officer in the U.S. Army, earned three graduate degrees including an MBA from the University of Michigan. He worked his way up the ranks at several Fortune 100 healthcare companies before he became Global Vice President of an $850M business unit. Mr. Qualls champions the principles of meritocracy and supports the notion that free enterprise, and the private sector are the fastest and most equitable way to lift people from poverty to prosperity including black Americans. Mr. Qualls has been married to his wife, Sheila for 35-years and they have five children together. He was a mentor at Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge. He serves on the Board for Lundstrum's Performing Arts Center in North Minneapolis as well as Hope Farm School, a school for at-risk boys from Minneapolis. takechargemn.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

From slavery to sharecropping to mass incarceration, American institutions have reproduced cycles of social rupture and exploitation by design. Is it even possible to imagine true equity as long as the current carceral system stands? Carvell Wallace and Jeffery Robinson begin with Bill Clinton’s 1994 Crime Bill before turning to the ways in which incarceration ripples through questions of voting, health, wealth, and state violence. With final words from Afro-futurist author Sheree Renee Thomas, we’ll explore how we might dream a new America into being and the possibilities of Black liberation. Additional information and resources related to this episode are available on our show page.

On this Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday -- marking what would have been the slain civil rights leader's 89th birthday -- we are talking about Dr. King’s legacy, and how the movement for racial and economic equality and justice is positioned moving forward.This year, we’ll also mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination, as well as the Fair Housing Act, which President Lyndon Johnson signed into law just a week after King’s death, as cities across the country were enveloped in violence.Violence in many forms remains part of the American landscape, and with the political rise of Donald Trump, violent and abrasive rhetoric now permeate public discourse to a heart-breaking degree, from Charlottesville to the Oval Office. Joining Tom on this MLK Day edition is a panel of guests with keen insights into the long, continuing quest for racial justice in America:DeRay Mckesson is a civil rights activist and the host of a podcast called Pod Save the People; Michael Higgenbotham teaches at the University of Baltimore Law School.

Special Guest: Russell G. Jones, award winning actor and creator of Blind Spot.

He is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon and the author of several books and articles including From the New Deal to the New Right: Race and the Southern Origins of Modern Conservatism as well as Race and American Political Development. In this wide ranging conversation, Joe and Chauncey discuss topics such as America's "post-post racial" present and future, the challenge of reconciling history, the past, and the present along the color line, the role of black and brown conservatives in the neo liberal conservative agenda, and the symbolism and shortcomings of the Obama presidency. During this installment of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Chauncey complains about having to pay taxes (and is angry at the global plutocrats who do not), and talks about Ted Cruz's college onanism habit, shares a story about his college roommate having sex with a strange woman who had a broken arm, and is excited about potentially receiving IRS tax exempt status for his new religion "porkism".

In light of the Charleston church massacre on June 17, Americans have been debating over the use of the Confederate battle flag. Meanwhile, during a recent interview about the shooting on the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron," President Barack Obama used the N-word, which sparked a firestorm of backlash. We discussed the controversy surrounding the Confederate battle flag, Obama's use of the N-word and modern day racism with Nicholas Powers, author and English Professor at SUNY Old Westbury

Throughout American history, from the Civil War to Civil Rights, the church has been at the center of black activist movements.

Tonight, on a extra racist edition of the Never Daunted Radio Network, we follow in the footsteps of every major and minor media outlet and celebrate "Post-Racial America" courtesy of L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling. We'll see what could be up ahead for the aging bigot and why the response from the players just wasn't enough. Next, because tonight is apparently a race to see who measures up as the most disgusting human being on the face of the Earth, a driver who struck and killed a bicyclist has decided to sue the dead biker's family, for what her lawyer calls, "great pain and suffering." We'll get to know the witch known as Sharlene Simon, and determine whether or not she has anything resembling a human heart. And finally, we go back to the Sunshine State for yet another tale of the bizarre, as this time a woman is being sued for damages incurred when her dead neighbor...exploded. We'll share the sad tale of Judy Rodrigo, who is left holding the bag through no actual fault of her own. All this and more, tonight on the Never Daunted Radio Network!

On Nov. 20, 2013, President Barack Obama awarded the Rev. C.T. Vivian the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. On Nov. 21, 2013, the day after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Vivian visited Emory University to take part in a conversation about his life and his experiences in the civil rights movement and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) at Emory's Robert W. Woodruff Library. Vivian is interviewed at the event by Andra Gillespie, associate professor of political science at Emory and author of "The New Black Politician: Cory Booker, Newark and Post-Racial America" (2012).

Please join us Sunday as we discuss living in post racial America.  Please feel free to call in and discuss this new utopia. Dial-in number is 310-982-4273 and press 1 to speak with the host.

Andra Gillespie is the author of The New Black Politician: Cory Booker, Newark, and Post-Racial America (NYU Press, 2012). She is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Emory University and earned her Ph.D. from Yale University. Her new book focuses on the rise of one of the most well-known mayors in the country, Cory Booker. Gillespie tracks Booker's rise through the complex politics of the city of Newark, NJ. As one of the few US cities with a history of African American mayors, Booker's story is unique, but also illustrative. By challenging long-time Mayor Sharpe James, Booker — a newcomer to the city — confronted a deep and protective political establishment. The strategies Booker used, some effective, others less so, help Gillespie explain a larger phenomenon of the “post-racial America”. The book's clear and personal writing make this an engaging read for political scientists and those interested in urban politics. Learn more about your ad choices.

As one of the few US cities with a history of African American mayors, Booker’s story is unique, but also illustrative. By challenging long-time Mayor Sharpe James, Booker — a newcomer to the city — confronted a deep and protective political establishment. The strategies Booker used, some effective, others less so, help Gillespie explain a larger phenomenon of the “post-racial America”. The book’s clear and personal writing make this an engaging read for political scientists and those interested in urban politics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I thought it funny when everyone in the media kept saying after President Obama won the election that we now live in a "POST Racial America", REALLY? It wasn't long until the Racists showed themselves and asked as if the President were a newly minted Freed Slave, Where are your papers, boy? The birther movement was born! This week OUR President felt the need to surrender his "Papers" and sure enough the BIRTHER Channel, I mean FOX News wasn't happy and has begun to try and disprove yet again that HE and WE aren't true Americans. This week I am going H.A.M. on this and anyone that wants to believe that America isn't the most hatful and vile country. A country were white supremist now hide in plain site in the REPUBLICAN Party. This week I am going after FOX and Friends, Rush, and ALL REPUBLICANS. Join me as I show MY M**** F****** PAPERS! Oh, and this is still a BYOB kind of show. 

This week I am going to continue with part 4 of my series of Post Racial America. I am going to take a look at the 20 year technology gap that is self imposed by the Black Community. As the world is moving faster and faster into the future we are moving even faster in reverse. Our children have no idea how to use computers but excel at the use of a cell phone. What is going on? Is there a correlation with our High School failure rates and 4th grade reading levels? Lets take a look at this together and ask WTF?

Today we are going to look at the Fashion Industry in regards to Black-Americans. We are going to talk about the self inflicted "Ghetto" look that seems to be the norm to almost all uneducated blacks. We are going to talk about the way industry tries to hide the existence of dark skinned black people. Please join us as we discuss this very real problem. WTF, America!!

This week we decided to discuss the lack of Black-Americans in the Entertainment world. New movies come out weekly and almost none of them has an all Black(Latino) cast. If one does come out the critics always write a scathing review and white people never watch. EVER! White, blonde, demigods go to jail or rehab all the time while their black counterparts are dusted under the rug and are never talked about. This week we are going to talk about them. This week we are going to shed a light on the stereotypical media. This we are going to attack the disparity head on. Join us in our talk.

This week we are beginning our series on living in a "Post-Racial" America. We will start with the Justice System. We will look at the changes, if any that may have taken place since we started using this new term and elected our first Black President. We are also looking inward to see if "we" changed as well.

Tonight we did a review of This Week in Post Racial America. It was a sorry week for the country in my opinion. It's not possible to do a winners and losers segment this week, as everyone involved in the Shirley Sherrod episode was a loser. It was a great pleasure to welcome Stephanie Davis back to the studio for the full hour. She provided some great insights and perspective to the conversation. What is Pundit Review Radio?
