EP 16 | Political Pandering
07/21/23 • 66 min
The PR game never seems to end where political labels are concerned. It's in the best interest of conservatives to make reference to the fact that originally, Democrats were the "very, very bad racists" and not the Republicans. The truth is, most white folks were racist before the advent of the Civil Rights movement. One group fought to preserve slavery, though, and it wasn't the progressives. Party switch denial is nothing new, but the messaging of conservative groups has shifted in recent years.
More frequently, they seem to be using Black mouthpieces to get out their spin on why they shouldn't be thought of as the natural successors to those who attempted to secede the Union over Negro slavery. We delve into this topic today, and end the show with a discussion of my new album & two upcoming shows.

Bonus Episode - The King Saves Uhura
You may know about the kiss shared between actress Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner -- what's widely thought of as the first interracial kiss on American television, but you may not know the deeper story of the hostility Nichols had to endure behind the scenes, and how close she came to walking away from the show altogether -- a decision that was curtailed by a very influential voice.

EP 17 | Jason Aldean's Small Town Dogwhistle
This week we're discussing Jason Aldean's "Small Town" video. I'm one of the 5 people that thinks there's a chance he didn't know the significance of the site where the video was filmed. Doesn't make it less racist, though. But it does reveal one of the common traps people can fall into when they try to claim ignorance around racial history. The song is an obvious dogwhistle to lynching and sundown towns, but the part many people seem unwilling to acknowledge is the conspiracy of silence that exists around race in many white families in the U.S.
