Reparations Now Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

The racial wealth gap has not changed since the 1950s. The federal government has been helping white people build wealth and damaging Black people’s ability to create wealth for decades. The time for reparations is now. Inspired by Nikole Hannah-Jones’s NYT piece about reparations, Danielle and Toure make the case.

Police: Still Killing Us Jun 04, 2020

As the country continues falling apart, protesters are everywhere, fighting symbolically for their ideals and too often finding themselves in literal fights with police.

On Amy Cooper and George Floyd May 28, 2020

Show notes

We are triggered. The white privilege of Amy Cooper, the tragic death of George Floyd… it’s been a difficult week. We come together to vent, to preach, to scream. We unpack the lies and address the pain. Democracyish.

Repubs Don’t Care About Black People May 14, 2020

Show notes

Trump and the right decided it was time to go back to work—who cares how many die—as soon as they realized that many of those dying from Coronavirus are Black and brown. This is no coincidence. This is part of the racial contract that has been a part of America since the beginning. To explore the racial aspect of the back to work movement, Danielle and Toure are joined by Adam Serwer from the Atlantic.

The Rage Is Real: Ahmaud Arbery May 07, 2020

Show notes

The rage is real because the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder is traumatizing. The rage is real because that video is just one of many we all can see on our mind’s screen at any time because they’re burned into our memory banks from Tamir Rice to Sandra Bland to Philando Castile to Eric Garner. And they all tap into the pain of seeing the horrifying final photo of Emmet Till. And the lynching photos. And on and on. Why do we watch these videos? And what’s it doing to us to have them inside us? Danielle and Toure dig in today on Democracyish.

What Black Voters Need Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

What do Black voters need? What should Black voters demand from Biden or anyone who wants their vote right now? Can we be bought for the price of a Black VP or is there more we can demand? Can we talk about policies aimed at Black communities? More COVID testing in Black areas and more SBA loans for Black businesses? What about an end to the War On Drugs? Also… we finally talk through #BlackAF. Danielle and Toure are Democracyish.
