Show notes

Send us a Text Message.

In the second half of the show, we ask ‘Who gets to decide who lives or dies?’ We cite recent examples of people who were needlessly killed because they made the (White) people in the story feel afraid. The problem is further illuminated when we show how these killers are often celebrated as heroes for protecting everyone against the (Black) threat.

Show notes

Send us a Text Message.

The two main political parties in this country are not the same. Recently we both had a conversation with a friend who suggested that he didn’t need to concern himself with politics because both parties were exactly the same. In the first half of the show, we identify some of the right’s policies, ideologies, and culture that led to the RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) and has radicalized a group of far-right individuals to carry out mass shooting attacks.
