Repubs Don’t Care About Black People
Trump and the right decided it was time to go back to work—who cares how many die—as soon as they realized that many of those dying from Coronavirus are Black and brown. This is no coincidence. This is part of the racial contract that has been a part of America since the beginning. To explore the racial aspect of the back to work movement, Danielle and Toure are joined by Adam Serwer from the Atlantic.Hosts: Danielle Moodie & TouréExecutive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Ryan WoodhallDistributor: DCP Entertainment Support the show: https://www.dcpofficial.com/democracy-ishSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rage Is Real: Ahmaud Arbery
The rage is real because the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder is traumatizing. The rage is real because that video is just one of many we all can see on our mind’s screen at any time because they’re burned into our memory banks from Tamir Rice to Sandra Bland to Philando Castile to Eric Garner. And they all tap into the pain of seeing the horrifying final photo of Emmet Till. And the lynching photos. And on and on. Why do we watch these videos? And what’s it doing to us to have them inside us?

What Black Voters Need
What do Black voters need? What should Black voters demand from Biden or anyone who wants their vote right now? Can we be bought for the price of a Black VP or is there more we can demand? Can we talk about policies aimed at Black communities? More COVID testing in Black areas and more SBA loans for Black businesses? What about an end to the War On Drugs? Also… we finally talk through #BlackAF.

Who Will Be Joe’s VP?
Tis the season for pontificating about VPs. Who will Biden pick? Stacey? Kamala? Warren? And who should Biden pick? Will he remember that Black people got him to the place where he is or will he try to appease the Midwestern suburbs (read: wypipo)? And it’s fun but does it all matter? Will the VP choice even make the difference??? Danielle and Toure are exhausted by you America.

Repubs: Go Lick A Pole
Corona trutherism is rampant on the right. They doubt how many people it’s killed. They protest against staying at home. They want to fire Fauci. They are a mess. The right’s impulse to doubt media, experts, and truth is now endangering lives. Plus what’s the matter with Kanye???

Corona Is A Black Nightmare
All over the country Black people are catching and dying from Coronavirus at frighteningly high rates. The virus isn’t racist but the generational impact of systemic racism has left us more vulnerable.

Where’s The BDE?
Trump is triggering us like crazy. We’re angry, we’re scared, we’re over his bullsh*t. The man wanted to “ride it out”—he asked what would happen if he did nothing about Corona. Jesus. We can’t. And Biden’s troubling. And Cuomo’s thrilling. Politics are giving us all the emotions this week on Democracyish.

Make America Safe Again
The world feels like it’s coming to an end. Might as well record one last pod. We’re scared, sad, angry, and feeling like we’re in a bunker hiding from the end. Democracy-ish: we’re scared out of our minds. Have a nice day.

Stuck In The Center With Joe
Joe Biden appears to be the nominee. Black voters stood up and went for Joe in big numbers because he’s safe, and he’s decent, and he stood by Barack Obama for eight years. And because Bernie Sanders never did anything to overtly woo Black voters. Democracy-ish weighs in on the state of the race, still wondering why Joe Biden has a standing invite to the cookout.
