MK254: Know it For Yourself (Kamala VP, Sharecropping, Black Farmers, Warrior Nun,Progressive Purity Tests, 2020 Election Stakes, George Washington Carver)
Kamala Harris has been selected to be Joe Biden’s Vice President and we air out all of our grievances over the Kamala Harris VP selection, not over the pick, but from the toxic responses within our own faction of the party on this historic moment, with so much at stake. We sound the alarm reminding folks of the big picture, and bring the receipts on Kamala’s record, what this means to us having her on the ticket, and what it should mean for all of us, the root of why it is that maybe having an issue with this selection, and our strategy for getting folx on board. Plus James has a progressive purity test? In the main event, we're still trying to find the right words to describe Melania with being disrespectful (sorry Akon, sorry Michelle we are going low) but James is on his Farmers apology tour. James went in hard on farmers a few years back, so he's giving Black farmers, the tribute and respect they deserve as we explore their history from slavery to sharecropping to farming. We also discover why there are so few black farmers, and why George Washington Carver was more than just Mr. Peanut.

The DNC just wrapped, and we are going to take a beat, and circle back to that next. So this week, we're going to have a little fun, Moury is here and we are going to dive into three shows that are tapping into the cultural Zeitgeist that we have devoured during the Pandemic: The Wire which has been eye-opening in understanding underserved communities and issues surrounding policing systems, West World Season 3 and what it means to be human, and The Old Guard which as us feeling seen as they are including diverse folks in their action storytelling and breaking ground and passing the Vito Russo Test for Queer representation. Moury takes us through a deep dive into the systemic mistreatment of Black folks in the medical industry, where that comes from, and why it still persists today.
