This is a special crossover between Spadework and European Alternatives. Earlier this year, our co-host Daniel Gutiérrez, had been a fellow at European Alternatives' Academy of Migrant Organizing – a structure dedicated to bringing together migrant organizers and activists across Germany in order to talk about shared organizational and movement-building problems in the hope that we can develop a lasting forum of collective co-research and co-learning.  As part of this forum, fellows were asked to collectively forge a toolbox addressing shared problems they highlighted and uncovered over the course of the fellowship. This episode functions as a contribution to that toolbox that you can find on Instagram and in the episode notes. In this episode, Daniel talks to Academy of Migrant Organizing fellow Berena Yogarajah about the difficulties of working across difference, allyship, comradeship, and problems that often surface through identity-based politics. Berena has been involved in grassroots political organization for almost a decade. She is currently based in Cologne, Germany, and is a member of Interventionistische Linke – an extra-parliamentary, emancipatory left-organization.  She was most recently involved with Tatort Porz, a campaign aimed at securing the conviction of a right-wing politician who attempted to murder youth for racist reasons in Cologne, Germany – in a scenario not unlike that of the Treyvon Martin murder in the United States. She is mostly involved in anti-racist struggles and generally concerns herself with strategies of identity politics and grappling with the tension of universality and difference. Over the course of the episode, Daniel and Berena reflect on the tensions produced when politics begin and end with identity, rather than the destinations we'd like to reach from different starting points. While acknowledging the importance of having safe spaces within the ecology of the left, Berena emphasizes that spaces of struggle are those spaces where discomfort is produced by the differences we encounter and struggle with, towards common horizons of emancipation. Drawing from personal experiences and encounters, she cautions that too much of an emphasis on self-distinction can lead to self-referential navel gazing, rather than the cross-movement development of power we desperately need.  It is this underscoring of contingency that Daniel appreciates throughout the discussion. For him – and those of us at Spadework – it is critical to understand that the ways in which discourses (in this case, those about and around identity) connected to practices are always contingent and politically negotiated.That is to say, what practices are generated through discourses of identity in Berkeley, California might be very different from those connections in Barrio Logan, San Diego or Neukölln, Berlin. In the same way that the practices articulated to Marxism looked different from context to context in, say the 1960s, so too must post-Marxist discourses like those around identity.  Such an understanding of the contingent relation between discourse and practice allow the two to agree that the politics developed out of discourses of identity are not immune to authoritarian, moralistic, or dogmatic practices. And it is such connections that make power impossible to build.

Passing as a POC. Rewarding people and groups because they are slightly or completely non-white is just as unacceptable as the previous wrong of punishing people and groups for having exactly that physical trait. Both are blatantly racist, and have no place either in our hearts or in our country. This 10 minute episode will help us in our lives, and help us to think through the issues surrounding us. N.B. This blog acts as a transcript and a signpost, pointing you to this episode on both the new Revolution 2.0™ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw5CDliD-PRQE_8bO4Eg98Q (YouTube) channel, and where you enjoy your podcasts, e.g., https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revolution-2-0/id1353135552 (Apple), https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yZXZvbHV0aW9uMi0wLm9yZy9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Qv (Google) and https://open.spotify.com/show/6rr6fi3AMW0GoAfYQ64lf9 (Spotify).   Continuing In the earlier, ugly days of racist America, if a person was in any way noticeably black, they were treated as all black. And especially in the slave and Jim Crow states, that was done to create an unfair and undeserved advantage for the whites; they even had names indicating your fraction of offending blackness. Someone who was half black would have been called a mulatto. A quadroon was ¼ black, and an octoroon ⅛ black. I would have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Like_Me (hexadecaroon). It was terrible, cruel and is a remaining stain on our nation. On the other hand if you had any portion of black blood but looked white, you were said to be able to “pass,” pass as being white–a huge advantage. Appearances were all. And for those many continuing to seek advantage today, still are. Today, if you have the slightest amount of non-white features, you can pass as a POC, a person of color. And today this is the advantage. This is just as unfair and wrong, and is done to give unfair advantage to people who look in any way non-white. Today's color preference flip is still wrong, unfair and needs to be stopped now. All we have done is flip the evil. Story: In 1969, a Star Trek episode showed the hatred and unfairness that existed between two differently colored peoples on the planet Cheron. Each group had half black and half white faces, with a vertical dividing line down the middle of their faces. The group whose faces were black on the right side felt justifiably and completely superior to the group whose faces were white on the right side. This developed into a race hatred that completely baffled the crew of the Starship Enterprise. As it should have. It made no sense at all. Insane and damaging. Flipping the colors side-to-side makes all the difference? Takes an evil and makes it into a good? And it's exactly what we are doing today. Black or POC used to be bad and white good, and now black is good and white is bad. Insane and damaging. This kind of insanity breeds absurdities that underscore the wrongness. For example, taking calculated advantage of the race flip, Rachel Dolezal, a white woman born to white parents, faked being black to the point where she became an NAACP chapter president. Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, gained advantage in her work and in politics by pretending to be Native American. And stranger things yet fall out of this insanity. George Zimmerman, a man of mixed race, was accused–and acquitted–of murdering Treyvon Martin, a black youth. The identity politics crowd felt the need to invent a new term, “White Mexican,” to describe Zimmerman, who is clearly a POC. Lots of twisting and shouting needs to be done to make everything black and white–with the white at fault. President Biden said loud and clear that he was going to select a black female as his running mate in 2020. Seems that being half-black and all female helped qualify Ms. Harris to be our Vice President. Despite having paltry support even from her home state of California in her quickly failed presidential run....

Danielle kicks off by asking Rebecca what “collective identity” means to her. As a Black American woman she has a sense of herself as a part of a community that is larger than herself. It is a community she can rely on and one that she feels a strong sense of responsibility to the collective as a whole and the people in it. Danielle wonders what collective identity mean for the Mexican Americans community, feeling that Latinx or Latin Community is too big. “It's more specific to country and culture and ethnicity…” in the way our identity id developed and in the way we think about Advent.Rebecca is mindful as Danielle is speaking around the American or US way of thinking around race and ethnicity. There's a tendency to put things into boxes, she says the census is a perfect example: there's no place for you to identify as “Mexican” or “Cuban” or “Puerto Rican”, you have to pick Hispanic. She said she refers to herself as a Black American Woman and for African American, there is the loss from the transatlantic slave trade of the ability to name a particular country or tribe. She's aware of the differences in their stories and each of their ability to name who they belong to, who's their tribes. Rebecca says “Black American Woman” when she identifies herself because she has been to the continent of Africa more than once. She's knows that her roots are in African but she is aware that there is something distinctly American about her orientation to the world. She remembers visiting Nigeria and when they began to de-board the plane, her blue-covered American Passport gave her preference to exit the plane first. “It might be the first time in my life I've ever had a sense of privilege.” She had the distinct and keen awareness that this was because she was American. In the US she doesn't feel privileged as a Black person living here. And while she cognitively knows her roots and ancestry are in Africa, she is very aware of the second part of the hyphen (in African-American.)Danielle mentioned an article that Rebecca sent her saying, “Collective identity refers to the shared definition of a group that derives from its members common interests, experiences and solidities. It is the social movements answer to who we are locating the movement within the field of political actors.” Danielle remarks it is both very specific as well as nuanced. For Rebecca, she remembers turning on the news to see that at the death of Philando Castile, right on the heels of Alton Sterling, that there was a shooting of police officers in Dallas by a Black male. She remembers feeling those three events like it was her own family. Even though she never met Philando Castile or Alton Sterling; she's wasn't in Dallas… Her sense of belonging in and to this community, seeing something happen to any member of the community, whether they act or are acted upon, she feels the sense of “this affects me” and needing to understand her reaction and responsibility. How do I pass what I know of this to my two teenage children?Rebecca came of age when Affirmative Action was in it's heyday, and when the country elected the first African American to the Oval office. There is almost a sense of perhaps we have already reached these moments of overcoming, that perhaps the racial violence as she has known through the Civil Rights Movement is over. But then Treyvon Martin. Then Sandra Brown. Then Michael Brown. And a long list of names. So when it came to Philandro Castile and Alton Sterling, she knew she needed to talk to her kids, because she is raising them in a time when racial violence against them is a very real thing. At that time of Philandro, her son was still a kid (8 years old) and she thought “I have more time, he's just a little kid.” Except Tamir Rice was her son's age when he lost his life in park as a police officer mistook his nerf gun for a real gun. Rebecca had a sense was that perhaps she didn't have to talk to her daughter because “girls are more safe then black men” except Sandra Bland was a Black Woman (and also a member of her same sorority Sigma Gamma Ro, a historically Black). The sense on the morning of Philandro was that “I am out of time and I need to educate my kids about the world that they grew up in. It's looking like Barak Obama is more of an anomaly and a Trevon Martin is more of a common occurrence in their world. That is where collective identity hit both as a trauma and a need for a person, who belongs to a community that is victimized in that trauma, to actually protect my kids and arm them with a sense of awareness so they can protect themselves.” Rebecca says this is a part of collective identity development: How do we make meaning out of the traumas we see? And how do we pass and interpret that meaning to the next generation?To make meaning of the Trauma for Danielle, from her cultural perspective, when Adam Toledo was murdered in the Chicago area, with the exception of the massacre outside of a Walmart in El Paso, it was the first experience she had where she knew someone's name. Usually we don't know their names, thinking of the lynchings along the border, usually there are no names unless you're in the thick of it. Collective identity and orientation around trauma from her perspective has been around how do we bury it? How do we hide it? How do we make sure the story is not re-told because at some level they cannot bear that it happened in the first place.Having this conversation illustrates the difference in their collective identity experience and orientation to trauma, offering a broader context to understand what's happening internally for individuals as well as the White Supremacy in the world. Culturally we respond differently to trauma, Rebecca says. And each culture calls its members to respond. In the African American community there is an active campaign called “Say her Name” (or Say Their Names) and it is a call for the community to tell the stories over and over again so the name doesn't disappear. This comes from a want and a need to control their own narrative for fear that the Establishment will tell a false/untrue narrative. This causes her to ask both, what is the larger establishment asking us to understand the narrative to mean? And what is our cultural orientation asking us to do about the narrative?Rebecca returns to Danielle's comment about “the names you don't know” referring to the hundreds of kids at the US-Mexico border who are separated from the parents and are lost in the foster care system in the US; we don't know their names or where they are or even the names of the relatives they travelled with to the US … We cannot reconnect them with their family. She wonders, how will we metabolize this in the generations to come, the generation of kids that were lost in that space?Danielle said what she wanted Rebecca to say to her is that collective identity doesn't involved trauma and there is a pure form of it, but what she is hearing from her is that collective identity is nuanced and connected. There are parts of collective identity and trauma that are together and painful, and yet we've created ways to deal with it. At the same time, it's important to know how trauma has shaped collective identities. Rebecca said there probably is a pure form of collective identity that isn't touched by trauma but what's hard to orient identity around is dealing with a hyphenated existence: “African-American.” For her that means a people who exist only out of the trauma of slavery, but for that there would be no orientation African-American. Rebecca said it's hard to imagine a collective identity that isn't marked by trauma and she admits that is coming out of her story. Its just hard to imagine an identity that isn't borne out of trauma. It's the same for Danielle and yet she wants something different. Longing for something different feels especially connected to Advent. For Mexican-American community there's a sense of “we were here first;” indigenous communities colonized by Europeans and then recolonized/colonized again by the so-called “United States Americans.” How do you find your identity in that? It paralyzing: that's where we come from but where do we go from here?Talking about the good or generous parts of collective identity, Rebecca turns to “what's on the table at Christmas dinner?” For her it is a reflection of my identity as African-American: macaroni and cheese, collard greens, candied yams. These recipes are connected to a long line of Black women who learned to make something fantastic out of nothing. When she makes these dishes, it is a shout out to these women (Mama Bland in West Virginia!). The table is a reflection of cultural identity and pays homage as a celebration, but it comes with a hint of trauma. For Danielle, she didn't know about Posadas growing up because her family had become Evangelical and viewed Catholic as not Christian. There is a Catholic Tradition that is starting actually right now on these dates where you go to someone's house and there is a call and response of singing asking if there is any room in the inn, the house that you're visiting. There's usually candles and a gathering of people singing at a house and once the singing is done you go in the house and eat or have a traditional drink. You do this over a period of nights, going to different houses on different nights and it's a retelling of the story of Mary and Joseph were trying to look for space. Danielle thinks when you put this tradition up against what's happening with the immigrants at the border or displaced Mexican Americans, it feels so relevant; it's this migrant pattern of looking for space; “where is there space for us? Where can we come eat?” When she started participating in this tradition a few years ago it was like a deep breath. For Rebecca, that moment came 5-6 years ago when she was listening to a sermon by a Black preacher who re-told the story of Jesus from the perspective of a Man-of-Color who was wrongly accused, wrongly convicted and then wrongly executed. For the first time she understood her orientation as a Christian in a different sense. She recalls in Scripture it says we have a God that understands us; that we have a high priest that has been where we are, so when we go before Him, we can go with confidence. To understand that Jesus was the first Man-of-Color who was wrongly accused, wrongly convicted and then wrongly executed… makes the following Tamir Rices, Michael Browns, Treyvon Martins take on an entirely different orientation for her. There's a sense that she follows a God that understands the pain of that story, the depth of what it costs and this has opened up Advent for her in a new way. Danielle said she had not thought of it in that way, but the idea that our cultures can add a search for belonging and an identity that Jesus came into the world and was set up from birth to have to endure this injustice. This changes the story of his birth. It changes the impact. Rebecca agrees.Danielle continues, it changes the legacy that would have left with Mary and Joseph… Joseph was the adopted dad. “Yeah, the baby daddy.” Rebecca adds. The other thing that comes to her mind in a conversion story of an East Indian man, who talked about what drew him to Jesus was the story of the nativity. As a Black American with a Baptist background, the nativity is about Mary, Joseph and Jesus. But this man the thing that drew him to the Gospel was the three kings of the Orient who traveled far. In that reference what he saw is the traditions of his people and their deep reverence and understanding of the stars and the celestial bodies that comes out of the religions that are native to his people. In that one small piece of the story that often gets over looked in an American Orientation, this man saw an invitation to his entire people to go on the search for the child. And when they reached him, they would be welcomed.  Rebecca has never forgotten that story and how amazed she is that someone from an Eastern country saw themselves in the story, a piece that she may skip over. Danielle asks, what does this tells us about the importance of collective identity in engaging not only our own stories but also the advent story and how we actually do need to hear from one another?Rebecca is struck by Revelation 7:9 where it says that every tribe and every tongue will be present at the thrown of grace. What is noted in this passage is ethnic identity and collective identity – of tribes and people groups. We noted not by gender or age not even by faith but by our collective identity based on ethnicity. Jesus shows Himself in each people group that is unique. Somehow my picture of God is incomplete if every tribe and every tongue is not present, and the story of how God shows himself in that culture is not told, I'm missing something of the God I serve. What Rebecca learned from Danielle today from her orientation as a Mexican woman is the story of looking for a place to belong, as one as an invitation to an immigrant. I learned something new about Jesus today and that makes my picture of God a little more fuller. This is my sense of what we need.Danielle says this is the beauty of being in community. It is invitational to know where you come from and it's an invitation to know Jesus, your faith, and to know your own face more. It's not the circle of people facing out with swords saying you can't come in.Rebecca says, yes an invitation to know my own face AND an invitation to know your face better. It's also an invitation to know the hands, voice and face of God in a more complete sense because of the way He shows himself in different cultures.

Amber Guyger was sentenced to 10 years in State prison more the senless murder of Botham Jean. So, what makes us think that the murderer of George Floyd will actually yeild different reults? Do you agree with the riots and will they be effective? Will George Flotd be the last Philando Castille, Sandra Bland, Treyvon Martin...? To many questions not enough answers so lets get to the bottom of this today.

Wow! A man named Bernard came and stole our Corn and took her all the way to Iowa! Oh whyyyowa!? Because she's a badass political organizer and Bernie knows what's up.

When should we start teaching children about racism, is it ever too early? Young people are living in the same world; they learn about racial difference regardless. Is proper education about racism and its origins the key to unpicking it? Karen Murphy and I discussed how racism shaped history and how it permeates our lives as adults. "In history there are victims, there are perpetrators, and there are people who don’t do anything. Bystanders have shaped history by their inaction." - Karen Murhpy Karen Murphy is the Director of International Strategy for Facing History and Ourselves. Karen is immersed in a longitudinal study of adolescents from divided societies with identity-based conflicts (South Africa, Northern Ireland, and the United States), and the ways these young people develop as civic actors, including the factors that impede and support their development. We cover a wide range of topics, including: Identity and belonging: the role they play in the development of societies. The idea of racism throughout history in different places across the world. Informal or formal rules of membership in our communities and countries. Where should facing history in ourselves begin. The importance of trusting young people with the truth about history and how to approach the conversation. Creating an environment which facilitates discussion about race. Is it possible to simply "get over" acts of abuse throughout our history? The role each of us plays in our own communities to combat acts of racism. "We do have to trust children with hard conversations. There's this idea that they are innocents and by delaying a conversation is somehow protecting them." - Karen Murphy And much more.

Treyvon Martin was shot. And Walter Scott. And Stephon Clark. And Philando Castile. And Alton Sterling. And Eric Harris. The #blacklivesmatter movement swept across America and the SoTong Sistahs have felt every pang of fear and every ounce of solidarity thousands of miles away. In this episode, they are joined by Marcus Corpening (their favorite black man in Korea!) as they discuss how they have handled these tragedies while living abroad. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sotong-sessions/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sotong-sessions/support

First is was Treyvon and now it's Jordan Davis. When will all this violence stop? Why do people feel it's ok to shoot people just because they have a gun. On this episode of the Real Deal we talk about the Jordan Davis case and talk about what we can do to not have another angel taken from us.

Anthony Weiner, former US Representative, and current NY City Mayoral candidate, sent more Weiner pics AFTER his disgraceful resignation from congress...for the SAME THING! Many are asking for him to drop out of the race. So the big question now is; Will Weiner pull out? Will he stay in but blow it? Or will he go all the way because Weiner is a huge D? Seriously, how much Weiner can the Dems take? Apparently A LOT. He can do a lot of damage to them and they may have a different gait after mid terms. The sack heads discuss. On a completely unrelated note, President Obama speaks out about race and the Treyvon Martin case...from the perspective of a black male in America, not as OUR President. All this and more from your beloved Sack Heads!

The Total Tutor, Jason The Public School Guy, and Jarrett will discuss the Treyvon Martin case, Alabama education, and teacher unions.

Episode 77. Were so happy Deric could take time out from flying in helicopters and stunt planes to record an episode. The weak-sauce story about why Vin couldnt fly in a helicopter. People that can jump from ridiculously high places and are unharmed. Thanking a Vet for their service, why is it so hard for Vin to accomplish in public? Why do most bars have no sound on their TVs? How we feel about Treyvon Martin murder trial. George (Jorge) Zimmerman never gets classified as a Hispanic. Media likes to focus on race battles and hardly recognizes blending of cultures. Why Nancy Grace is a c***. Freedom of the press and opinion is still important, but what does that do to the uneducated? Why a friend or family member on the stand will discredit your case in court. Writing a book about someone elses trial is not a douchey thing..no its not. Heat kills your appetite. Nevada education ranks in the bottom 15 for yet another category, student spending.SUPRISE!! We do have programs in Clark County that offset the crappy spending. Why making a teenage kid a professional doesnt work out so great. Unemployment rate rises for first time in a long time. Competition and wage punishment are running us ragged. Small business coming in on where corporate America reigned is a good thing. It could prove to be a tough endeavor to fine Randys ass. Derics Hispanic side comes out in his tell-all account of man-scaping. Deric dares the cast and audience to take of pic of them with guy-liner on! Give us a review/subscribe on iTunes.
