Mills "White supremacy forced white americans into rationalizations so fantastical that they approached the pathological."--James Baldwin Alt episode titles: Hegemony, Iniquity, Occlusion Dehumanization, Erasure, Indoctrination We've been here before, we've never left. The place where a z*on*st and a n*zi can exist inside the same washed up, recycled shock jock racist tech magnate bureaucrat, use thee quintessential anti-semitic gesture on national television and be defended by the head of a million dollar anti-semitism watchdog org that mostly just targets Black people. Yes, even here: a place where neo n*zis came up short in Lincoln Heights, Cincinnati the first all-Black, self-governing community north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and got ran out, they shit took, their flag burned. The pork escort service was no match for Black love. Happy Black History, Present, Futures Monf and 365 days of the year in my anita baker voice. Sending you all our tender love no matter where you are, what you are going through, whether it's genuine fear from a place of privilege, comfort from having felt a false sense of safety in the promise of a democractic administration or a delayed reaction to living under a Herrenvolk democracy, join us for the first episode of the year in our attempt to ease the collective anxiety with a little, gentle, reality check and reminder of where you are and more importantly, who you are, from the Federal Act-Rite Administration (with love). Everything's going to be okay.
