Tap In: "Don't Underestimate What You Are Up Against"
I finally got around to listening to the Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates discussion. In that discussion, Coates was able to put in to words the way I felt after hearing about the young Republicans group chat. He said "It's not that you know what Donald Trump is going to do. It's that you don't underestimate what you are up against." --- Follow Hood Politics: https://x.com/hoodpoliticspod https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Giving "Blacks Rule"
In 2015, a man in Mississippi told the police he experienced a hate crime. That hate crime was someone burning the Mississippi state flag and spraying painting BLACKS RULE on his driveway. At no time in this history of Blackness have we ever used the phrase "Blacks Rule." But now we have these Tyler Robinson text messages, and "anti-ICE" writing on the shell casings of the Dallas shooter's bullets... I don't know fam, it's giving "Blacks Rule" energy.
