  • We the Jury
    Apr 29 2021

    A few weeks ago, at the beginning of the Derek Chauvin trial we had no idea what would happen, but honestly did not have our hopes high. This led to a question, why were our hopes so low? How do these clear murderers continue to get off? How is this happening? For the people at large, an often overlooked group holds the weight for many in their hands. The jury. But, like with all things in this country, there have been legal and unwritten parameters around who can and cannot sit for jury. This week we do a mini dive into what a juror is (15:20) and the current jury qualifications (17:15). We discuss a few monumental cases and unpack the insane belief that only whites can be color blind in a court of law. Yes, you read the right.

    Mar 26 2021

    Another back episode we tackle the One Drop Rule. Colorism is real, a product of divide and conquer. This episode we get into it a little and other things such as Michelle Obama being president, Cherokee ancestry getting children expelled from school, Plessy v Ferguson and Rosa Parks.

  • The Sell Out?
    Mar 18 2021

    In late February the Raymond A Wood letter that was released. In fact is was the day before the anniversary of Malcolm X’s assassination. Wood was a black ex cop who, after his passing dropped a letter confessing his involvement in the assassination of Malcolm X. This back episode we give our thoughts on the letter, why a young black man in the 60s would join the NYPD, self preservation, and how not everyone is really 10 toes down. Naturally, we close out the episode with a Tupac vs Biggie convo.

Rated PG or Rated R for unnecessary profanity

I struggled to listen because of the profanity.
Interesting topics rendered inaccessible.
I guess we love in a society where using the word like and cursing makes the language more colorful.
I prefer my intellectual pursuits without profanity because a good argument can stand without it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
