Rev. Barber reflects on America's culture of death and its connections to the police murder of George Floyd.
Rev. Barber also explains how Donald Trump is a symptom of a much deeper moral crisis in America that is a function of racism, militarism, greed, right-wing religious nationalism, and social inequality and injustice more broadly.
And Rev. Barber offers wisdom and advice about sustaining the long struggle and people's uprising that was sparked by the police murder of George Floyd and how we can move from outrage to substantive policy reform and societal progress.
Chauncey DeVega ponders the wave of white supremacist mob violence across the United States in (mostly) rural America targeting the Black Lives Matter movement and anti-fascists.
Chauncey is also concerned about the dangers of white guilt in this moment of people's uprising and mobilization sparked by the police murder of George Floyd and other examples of police thuggery and brutality against black people.
