Whose America Is It Anyway?

There’s a collective loneliness among people of color following last Tuesday. In this episode, Areeb and Reem discuss the notions of “Real America,” why the “white working class” label is misguided, and some of the feelings of lot of Americans about the new(?) American era we’re entering.
This is not an episode about bashing the President-Elect. This is not an episode about wishing Clinton had won. This is a reflection on what’s going on around us and where we go from here, particularly if you are a person of color or any other “Minority.”

Areeb and Reem sit down with three powerful women to discuss the reality that comes with gun violence. Kayla, Nardyne, and Jarae talk to us about the state of the conversation surrounding gun violence, following the money, and how representation affects real communities.
“It’s not the pictures of pre-gun violence when she was alive and thriving. This is the reality of gun violence. So how can you talk about gun violence and not show the images of what it looks like? There’s nothing glamorous or pretty about gun violence.”
“AK-47s, high-powered rifles, they have no business in anyone’s home to protect their 2nd Amendment right. I don’t know what type of intruder you expect to come into your home. It’s a killing machine. It’s the same type of weapon my father used to protect this great land, and it’s the same type of weapon that killed his only grandchild.”

Super Tuesday Special!
With Trump and Rubio throwing sophomoric jabs, guests Charlie and Will get into the policies that matter to young conservatives that seem to be lost in the mainstream conversation. These guys demand more from the candidates they’ve been given.
What issues would Donald Trump need to come towards the center on if he wants to win the General Election? Will the GOP wind up with an establishment candidate?

Katie Thompson sits down with the show to talk about women’s rights, affirmative action, international development, and much more. She tells us why we use the term abortion and Areeb asks a pertinent question: Why do we get Planned Parenthood so wrong?
“Even the term itself, “affirmative action,” is inflammatory...because it feels to those who are afraid that they’ll lose their place in society.”
“The fact that its so actionary makes people reactionary.”
