Bakari Sellers is one of the best political analysts out right now partly because he’s brilliant and partly he’s been inside the process—he was in the South Carolina House of Representatives. That gives him an insight that many others in cable news lack. He’s a longtime CNN analyst and now the author of My Vanishing Country about the forgotten Black people of the South. Fascinating conversation.

As the Black Lives Matter movement explodes in popularity, it’s a good time to revisit my 2018 interview with Patrisse Cullors, one of the founders of BLM. She talks about her memoir, When They Call You A Terrorist, and how the police traumatized her as a child.

Eric Andre is crazy.

Spike Lee’s new Netflix movie Da 5 Bloods is one of Spike’s best in a while. A really powerful story about four Black Vietnam vets who return to the jungle in hopes of burying their demons. One of the leads is Delroy Lindo, an amazing actor who plays Paul, a Trump supporter with PTSD who’s got a lot to work out.

Atlanta’s Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is in the news right now because she’s on the short list of Joe Biden’s VP choices and because she’s taken decisive action in several recent incidents of police violence. She’s a fascinating person who we interviewed in her office in 2019. Patreon.com/toureshow Instagram: @toureshow Twitter: @toure See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In a moment where we’re arguing about the future of the police the perfect person to talk to is Dr. Phillip Goff. He’s a PhD, a professor at John Jay, and the head of the Center for Policing Equity. He’s a guy who studies policing and comes in and helps clean up departments. We talk about what’s wrong with American policing and how he thinks we can fix it.

Either you’re racist or anti-racist. There is no neutral ground. Either you’re working to make a difference or you’re perpetuating the status quo. This is the thesis of Dr. Ibram Kendi’s brilliant book How To Be An Anti-Racist. If you’re looking to put the current moment in context, this is a good conversation to dig into.
