Send us a textBriona Simone Jones crafted a gift to the world with Mouths of Rain: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought, and we feel lucky to have read it. In this episode, we share the words of the brilliant Black minds who contributed to this work, specifically covering "Part I: Uses of the Erotic, 1909-2020" and "Part II: Interlocking Oppressions and Identity Politics, 1980-2020." The nutrient density of this anthology required us to split this episode into two parts in order to honor it the way we wanted to, so come back next for parts III-V. Please send us your favorite Black artist on our Instagram page, and we will include them in our post at the end of Black History Month honoring our community's favorite Black artists. We want to provide a space that is easily accessible for Black artists to be shared, lifted up, and supported, and you are part of that work. Thank you for your support, you can always reach out to us on Instagram, TikTok or email.

What do we need to confront about how race and gender are used by both sides in an election year? And what's happening to the Black male vote? In today's discussion, Joy, Jin, and Bret are joined by special guest, Pastor Fred Wilson, Faith & Community Relations Director at UCAN Chicago. 

How does race impact polyamorous experiences? Do existing polyamorous discourses erase people from minority ethnic backgrounds? Is being 'out' as non-monog overrated? How can we all grow to be more inclusive of experiences that we don't immediately identify with? We're joined by founder of Polyamorous While Asian, Michelle Hy, to discuss race, polyamory and politics. We discuss being Asian and non-monog, unhelpful and hurtful stereotypes that can come with this and how Michelle manages this when it arises. We also deep dive into how identities and relationships are ruled by political policy and how to wade through it all to be unapologetically your authentic self. We thank Michelle for her vulnerability and openness during today's episode. You can find Michelle on Instagram and at her website.

Professor Mary Burke destroys the myths and caricatures of Irish Americans as a monolithic cultural, racial, and political group. Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America's frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. Her cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century Presbyterian Ulster-Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Episode 547.

Zeek Arkham grew up in a rough neighborhood in Queens, NY with an absent father and abusive family members who played the victim. After college, he became an angry police officer still feeling entitled and like a victim. A mentor told him he had potential but had to stop holding himself back. Zeek shifted his mindset, stopped making excuses and worked hard to build a successful life and career in law enforcement. He now mentors black youth to take personal responsibility, ignore racism and keep working towards success. Kathy and Zeek examine problems with black victimhood culture and people who profit from it, including the "business of racism." They agree that hard work, tenacity and a "now what?" attitude help people overcome obstacles and racism in America.Chapters[00:00] Introduction[00:05] Zeek's challenging upbringing[05:00] His journey to personal responsibility[17:00] Leaving victimhood behind [25:00] The "business of racism"[35:00] Immigrant success despite racism[45:00] Victimhood as an industry[55:00] Keep working despite setbacksGuest BioZeek Arkham is a police officer and black conservative activist.

You just have to get out of your own way." - Police mentor to Zeek [17:30]"Racism is a business. Guys like Al Sharpton and Ibram X Kendi - if racism disappeared tomorrow, they'd be stressed out because now they have nothing to make money off of." - Zeek [48:00]"That's the real oppression - they've got to invent this white supremacy boogeyman to keep you angry, because once you're angry or fearful, you're easy to control." - Zeek [51:30]"I don't believe in this fatalistic view.

Jim continues his conversation with Charles Barkley, an interview that was too long and too good to fit into a single episode. Charles is never shy to speak, and in part two he talks about race and speaking up about racism, wealth, gambling, whether he's interested in politics, and two famous lost friendships.

This conversation is with Nick Bromell, Professor Emeritus in the English Department at University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass. Bromell is the author of numerous articles on 19th and 20th century literature and politics, and has edited the Norton Critical Edition of Frederick Douglass' My Bondage and My Freedom, as well as a collection of essays under the title The Political Companion to W.E.B. Du Bois (University of Kentucky Press, 2018). He is the author of four books: By the Sweat of the Brow: Literature and Labor in Antebellum America (University of Chicago, 1993), Tomorrow Never Knows: Rock and Psychedelics in the 1960s (University of Chicago Press, 2000), The Time is Always Now: Black Thought and the Transformation of U.S. Democracy (Oxford University Press, 2013), and a new book, the occasion for our conversation today, The Powers of Dignity: The Black Political Philosophy of Frederick Douglass, out with Duke University Press in 2021.In The Powers of Dignity, Bromell centers on the notion of dignity and its cognates in Douglass' work and, by way of that focus, develops a broad, comprehensive picture of a political philosophy rooted in what Douglass calls “the slave experience.” In our discussion here , we explore themes of race, racism, Republicanism, liberalism, and the complexities of imagining Black liberation in the 19th century up through the 21st century.

The Medium Writers Challenge winner, Hal H. Harris visited to discuss in an honest manner the race, politics, and much more. Hal H. Harris is a take-no-prisoners type of person. It was refreshing to interview someone who did not care what I thought or anyone for that matter on issues he is passionate about. And his issue is unabashedly black personhood and the ownership thereof. In other words, he will not allow anyone to change what the black experience has been, is, or will be. Harris will come over as caustic to those who refuse to view his words through his experiences and his realities. I could not have been prouder of my audience which is a reflection of our country's demographics. The majority got him.--- If you like what we do please do the following!

Our world has become increasingly polarized and volatile. That's certainly true when it comes to racial and political views in our culture. Are we too woke or are we too indifferent? To what degree do our convictions shape our politics? How do we maintain unity when it feels like people around us are increasingly hostile? Join us as Ben steps into a conversation on what to do when our minds run to worst-case scenarios that can divide us rather than to Christ who can unify us. This is the challenging tension that a community like Renovate should not be afraid to wrestle with as we seek to do what's best.

As golf's most famous tournament tees off in Augusta, Georgia, we dive into the complicated history and current events surrounding arguably the most exclusive club of any kind in the world. Bloomberg Atlanta bureau chief Brett Pulley joins to talk about his piece exploring the power, money and racial politics that have always pervaded Augusta National. He notes that recent protests in Georgia around voting rights have only reminded us how seemingly vulnerable -- but ultimately immune -- the home of The Masters is to the outside world.

Dr. Ben Carson, Founder and Chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, joins Andy for a wide-ranging discussion on the racial divide in America, his thoughts on the new Georgia voter ID law, religion, political correctness, the “woke” culture and what he thinks Martin Luther King, Jr. would think of America today.

Campaigns against prostitution of young people in the United States have surged and ebbed multiple times over the last fifty years. Carrie Baker's Fighting the US Youth Sex Trade: Gender, Race, and Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2018) examines how politically and ideologically diverse activists joined together to change perceptions and public policies on youth involvement in the sex trade over time, reframing 'juvenile prostitution' of the 1970s as 'commercial sexual exploitation of children' in the 1990s, and then as 'domestic minor sex trafficking' in the 2000s. Based on organizational archives and interviews with activists, Baker shows that these campaigns were fundamentally shaped by the politics of gender, race and class, and global anti-trafficking campaigns. The author argues that the very frames that have made these movements so successful in achieving new laws and programs for youth have limited their ability to achieve systematic reforms that could decrease youth vulnerability to involvement in the sex trade.
