This series was previously paywalled, but by popular demand has been released on the free feed. This is a special 5-part series discussing the evolution of Critical Race Theory from its conception by Derrick Bell to its current, arguably diluted forms as seen by Kimberle Crenshaw and her work on intersectionality or the anti-racist publishing industry spearheaded by thinkers such as Ibram X Kendi.
Trevor talks to our guest Dr. Patrick D. Anderson about the three-part article series he wrote for the website Black Agenda Report about Critical Race Theory, and how it gets weaponized and misrepresented by people on all sides of the political spectrum, including those left of center, and why. We discuss what CRT is, what it isn’t, why the CRT as originally conceived by Derrick Bell is still too dangerous decades later to be promoted in earnest, and why neoliberal dilutions of CRT like Intersectionality as conceived by Kimberle Crenshaw are promoted by the powers-that-be instead.
Patrick D. Anderson is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Central State University.His research focuses on the Anticolonial Tradition of Black Radical Thought and theconnections between technology, ethics, and imperialism. He is editor-in-chief at theWikiLeaks Bibliography, and the author of the 2022 book Cypherpunk Ethics: RadicalEthics for the Digital Age (Routledge Focus on Digital Media and Culture).

On today's episode, Teen (Escape From Plan A, @mont_jiang on Twitter) and Chris (Escape from Plan A, @JesuInToast) join Trevor to discuss the life and death of "The Great Awokeness". The basic idea of this episode is that the economy was good for a while, so people had money to waste and also wanted to talk about a lot of hot-button issues involving marginalized groups thanks to events in the news that were kept in the forefront via social media and protests. Now money is tight and people are out of patience for a lot of these social issues, but many in academia, politics, and media didn't get the memo and are in for a rude awakening.

Today Vida and Ken use the movie Hollywood Shuffle as a jumping-off point to discuss what it means to be Black in Hollywood. Hollywood Shuffle is a 1987 American satirical comedy film about the racial stereotypes of African Americans in film and television. The film tracks the attempts of Bobby Taylor to become a successful actor and the mental and external roadblocks he encounters, represented through a series of interspersed vignettes and fantasies. Produced, directed, and co-written by Robert Townsend, the film is semi-autobiographical, reflecting Townsend's experiences as a black actor when he was told he was not "black enough" for certain roles.

Today the West Coast Sharks, Vida, Mario and Ken, gather together to discuss the politics of protection. It took just one slap to shake up a national dialog that has as many arms as a consortium of octopi. From what it means to protect Black women, the cult of personality and the religion of celebrity... It's so much to parse out it takes 3 great brains combined to even break the surface of the situation at hand. Lucky for us, those 3 brains just happen to be guiding the conversation you hear today.
DISCLAIMER: Due to issues with the recording platform used for this episode and a desire to get new content out as soon as possible Vida had to record her audio remotely. There will be moments where she is hard to hear, or the audio will have background artifacts distorting the image. We tried to remove as much as possible without removing the context of the conversation, but unfortunately, we were not able to remove it all.

In today's episode, Vida and Ken sit down and chop it up like only they know how. It's tough times out there looking for a job that pays well, and to make matters tougher, it seems like some people would rather gloat on social media about denying people in the community jobs rather than helping people learn how to obtain quality gigs. Ken and Vida dive in deep on exactly why that is, and what we could do to be better neighbors, community members, and all-around better humans. WARNING: Due to mechanical errors during the recording process Vidas' audio has a distortion that was unable to be removed.

This episode is hosted by Vida, Trevor, and Ken. In today's episode the Sharks go down for down and pound for pound w/ collegiate sports. From how the disgruntled whites don't want the players to be paid, how Black players are still seen as having "special gifts" rather than "rigorous training" and viewing players as commodities, to the bottom line that money runs the game - one thing becomes most certainly clear; the kids aren't wrong, the rules are wrong.

This episode is hosted by Trevor, Kenny, Vida, and Mario. "Wear a mask!" "Why are you still wearing a mask?!" "You can't back into a parking spot!" "Marks new lawn decor is so distasteful!". No matter the subject, white people love getting into other people's business. It's almost as if white people believe they are the "Referees Of Reality". In today's episode, the 4 Sharks unite to vent on why it is white people always think they have this ability to ref everyone else's choices. If you know the Sharks then you probably already know the answer, and you know it's gonna be a laugh riot as our 4 favorite heroes tear into this meat.

This episode is hosted by Kenny, Mario, and T. Today we have Thomas A. Foster in the studio. Thomas is a historian of gender and sexuality in early America. His work engages with a wide variety of fields, subfields, and topics including, disability studies, LGBTQ studies, masculinity, slavery, women’s history, and public history and memory.
Foster is Professor of History and Associate Dean at Howard University. Prior to that appointment, he was at DePaul University where he earned tenure and eventually promotion to full professor. Prior to the tenure-track, he held visiting assistant professorships at Rice University and the University of Miami.
Foster is the author or editor of seven books, including author of Sex and the Founding Fathers: The American Quest for a Relatable Past which traced how popular understandings of the intimate lives of the Founders changed from the early Republic to the present to understand how sex, (mis)understood to be transhistorical, has been used to superficially bridge the historical chasm between Founders and each successive generation. Foster also edited two volumes on gender in early America: Women in Early America and New Men: Manliness in Early America, as well as a ground-breaking edited volume on LGBTQ history, Long Before Stonewall, and an edited collection of primary sources, Documenting Intimate Matters: Primary Sources for a History of Sexuality in America. He has published articles in The William and Mary Quarterly, Disability Studies Quarterly, the Journal of the History of Sexuality and essays in numerous anthologies, including Traces and Memories of Slavery in the Atlantic World (Routledge, 2019).
His most recent book is Rethinking Rufus: Sexual Violations of Enslaved Men.

We discuss the current George Floyd and Breonna Taylor protests, and the recent efforts by Campaign Zero to enter the space advocating reformist measures such as implicit bias training and body cam rules, and why defunding and abolition measures are better. T. also takes some time to discuss the bourgeois coopting of the current movement on the ground by Black entertainers and executives.

This episode is hosted by Trevor. Today we have Nashwa Lina Khan on the show. Today we discuss the difficulties of being a feminist and leftist of color and how navigating those worlds can come into conflict. We discuss tone-deaf white feminism, the unwillingness of white leftists and even some people of color who work for white publications to fully account for racial undertones of when a white woman accuses a man of color of sexual assault, such as the case of Aziz Ansari. We also discuss the pros and cons of brown representation as seen in the shows and movies of Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, Ramy Youssef, Priyanka Chopra, Kumail Najiani and others, as well as property's like Marvel Comics' new Ms. Marvel book.
Nashwa is an activist,perpetual student, researcher and freelance writer. She is currently working on a few projects including a small chapbook of poems she never thought she would share. Her activist scholar work is presently focused on transformative education. Her graduate work uses maternal decolonial methodologies to make sense of how family law impacts sex workers, HIV positive women, refugee women, and unwed mothers in Morocco accessing healthcare services in relation to citizenship and nation. she is also half of the podcast Muslim Rumspringa. Some of her work can be found here https://nashwakhan.contently.com/. You can check out her podcast on most streaming platforms and twitter @muslimrumsprnga, you can tweet her @nashwakay.

This episode is hosted by Trevor. Today we welcome author Margaret Kimberley (https://twitter.com/freedomrideblog), the author of the book Prejudential (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RM8G2CZ/), decribed by its publisher as follows:
"Prejudential is a concise, authoritative exploration of America’s relationship with race and black Americans through the lens of the presidents who have been elected to represent all of its people.
Throughout the history of the United States, numerous presidents have left their legacies as slaveholders, bigots, and inciters of racial violence, but were the ones generally regarded as more sympathetic to the plight and interests of black Americans—such as Lincoln, FDR, and Clinton—really much better? And what of all the presidents whose relationship with black America is not even considered in the pages of most history books? Over the course of 45 chapters—one for each president—Margaret Kimberley enlightens and informs readers about the attitudes and actions of the highest elected official in the country. By casting sunlight on an aspect of American history that is largely overlooked, Prejudential aims to increase awareness in a manner that will facilitate discussion and understanding."

Over the years he has been active in workplace and community struggles as well as electoral campaigns. He has worked for several labor unions in addition to serving as a senior staffperson in the national AFL-CIO.
Fletcher is the former president of TransAfrica Forum; a Senior Scholar with the Institute for Policy Studies; an editorial board member of BlackCommentator.com; and in the leadership of several other projects. Fletcher is the co-author (with Peter Agard) of “The Indispensable Ally: Black Workers and the Formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, 1934-1941”; the co-author (with Dr. Fernando Gapasin) of “Solidarity Divided: The crisis in organized labor and a new path toward social justice“; and the author of “‘They’re Bankrupting Us’ – And Twenty other myths about unions.” Fletcher is a syndicated columnist and a regular media commentator on television, radio and the Web.

We talk about an attempt to be woke online about the topic of continual consent that backfired for an online activist as well as the topic of how a lot of the people who make hating straight Black men a core part of their online identity are actually mad about an idea they hold about straight Black men being more popular with the white kids in high school than they were, and how much of their "ideology" is just residual jealousy that originates in that notion. Then in part 2, T. breaks out a psychological theory about Mandingoism and Mapplethorpism that grosses out the other sharks.

Professor Heidi Matthews researches and teaches in the areas of international criminal law, the law of war, international legal history and political theory. Her work theorizes contemporary shifts in the practice and discourse of the global legal regulation of political violence, with particular attention to history and gender, as well as political, critical and aesthetic theory.
Today Heidi and I talk about two of her articles, one about whether #MeToo can be deemed a modern sex panic and the other about the concept of creeps and the ways in which being deemed a creep fits into the presumption of being a sexual threat and pariah.

This is a double episode that we are counting as two episodes, and it's a little bit different than usual. Today we have Teen Sheng (http://twitter.com/Mont_Jiang) joining me from the podcast Escape from Plan A (https://planamag.com/podcast/home) to discuss a new Korean movie we recently saw, Lee Chang-dong's Burning. After the movie, we had a pretty intense conversation about it and tied it into Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Fight Club, Star Wars, Karen Horney, and Jordan Peterson. It's quite a departure, but we hope you like it.

Today we discuss various topics from beefing with Talib Kweli on Twitter to Marc Lamont Hill getting fired from CNN. Unfortunately we have to end the episode on a somber note as well.

Today is a D. Mills solo episode discussing homeless epidemic in LA.
Patient Dumping: The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights chose to focus on Enforcement of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act for its annual 2014 Statutory Enforcement Report. This report examined compliance with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a federal law that requires Medicare-participating hospitals to treat emergency medical conditions of any person regardless of capacity to pay, and makes unlawful the discharge of patients prior to stabilizing any medical condition. The purpose of EMTALA is to prevent hospitals, states and/or localities from prematurely discharging indigent people in need of emergency care and transporting them to other entities, a practice colloquially called “patient dumping.” Specifically, the Commission’s report focused on disabled individuals with a psychiatric medical condition. The examination resulted in five observations:
• Hospitals are not keeping adequate data on such patients
• There is insufficient regulatory oversight
• There should be non-punitive methods of obtaining accurate treatment reports on patients
• Hospitals do not have sufficient funds to comply with EMTALA in treatment of patients
• Hospitals and their staffs need more training and education in this area

Today we speak to Bo (https://twitter.com/eBoPeep) about a recent controversy revolving UK-born Nigerian-descended actress Cynthia Erivo and the announcement that she would be playing Harriet Tubman in an upcoming American movie production. Bo pulled up and documented a lot of Cynthia Erivo's problematic tweets on Twitter about American Blacks to make the case that Erivo shouldn't be playing an American Black icon like Harriet Tubman.
Bo is a proud descendant of American and Caribbean enslaved peoples, and particularly passionate about current American DOS issues. She believes in applying a long-term, holistic and sober view to "I'm rooting for everyone Black." She also believes in the immediate necessity of honoring and protecting our respective and unique cultures, lineages, boundaries, experiences, and justice claims throughout the Diaspora.

We have Youtube personality Taurean Reign (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOookRnK-P0tabOv-0dDGg) on to discuss what we've dubbed Blue October, a phenomenon that started in September 2018 but is continuing to gain ground going into October: a rebellion of Black Twitter against the Black public personalities designated as the spokespeople for Black America by the White media. The latest incident is Jamilah Lemieux being dragged by Black Twitter for her consistent attacks on Black men and calling Black people "Negroids".

I recently put it up to a vote which Premium Bonus episode listeners would most like to see unlocked to free listeners, and our latest episode was the one most people voted for. So here it is.
In this episode, I take a concept created by author Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism, and apply it to Black people to create a concept I call Black Pathology Realism, the idea that Black pathology and squalor is taken as such a given in society, by both Black and White people, that no one can truly even imagine a world where it doesn't exist, that it's just taken as the natural state of things. Something that can only be managed but not eliminated or cured. We discuss other things too, but we keep returning to that theme.

We discuss the recent fiasco surrounding internet "comic" personality Luvvie Ajayi. We made this double length, so hopefully this makes up partially for the long break we had due to my operation and injuries.Mentioned in this episode:
The NY Times profile of Luvvie https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/style/luvvie-ajayi-blogger.html A breakdown of the Luvvie vs. Tevin Campbell controversy that took over Black Twitter for a week https://thegrio.com/2018/08/18/tevin-campbell-aretha-franklin-tribute-twitter/ Amanda Seales's strawman filled rants on IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmum4wUnbxL/?taken-by=amandaseales and also https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm5_wGGHVqE/?taken-by=amandaseales Luvvie's rambling, circuitous, strawman-filled response essay claiming people were denying her blackness due to her being African https://www.awesomelyluvvie.com/2018/08/about-blackness-africanness.html Twitter thread of an African conservative commentator on Twitter who used a Black liberal's attack on her for being conservative as an excuse to launch into a totally unrelated rant bashing Black Descendants of American Slaves, and the Africans and white racists who jumped in her replies to cheerlead her https://twitter.com/obianuju/status/1031917218408411136 My Twitter thread about the Luvvie controversy: https://twitter.com/RickyRawls/status/1032395205348155392 Bozoma St. John, the Ghanian-American PR person who recentyl was appointed to help Papa John's rebreand after a controversy involving it's founder being racist and using the N-word: https://www.blackenterprise.com/bozoma-saint-john-is-helping-papa-johns-re-brand/. St. John has also been hired in the past to help rebrand Uber, another terrible corporate actor that had its own racism controversies even after hiring her. She also was hired as a human racism shield to help rebrand Apple's image on diversity issues after they got in trouble for racism. Bozoma jumping in on Twitter to defend Luvvie, a fellow African-American, against slander in a way she never has for Black Descendants of American Slaves: https://twitter.com/badassboz/status/1030621722268057601. Note she even name drops and humblebrags meeting Tevin Campbell and attending the Soul Train Awards, even as she simultaneously joins Luvvie in shading him and by implication Black American culture. Bozoma St. John repeating the strawman that Luvvie and all her defenders kept saying, claiming that people were questioning Luvvie's blackness due to her being African https://twitter.com/badassboz/status/1030632447527010304

Questions answered this episode:
I answer follow-up questions about my episode critiquing integration-focused antiracism I play this related video by Ash Sankar a listener sent along https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zA58S8-2oA A question about whether I'm aware of the Swirling Movement and related figures and movements like "black women divest," "bwgtow," "Breukelen Bleu," and "leaving blackistan." I read a great comment about the white LGTBQ movement and why they increasingly use black lesbians and trans women as the current face of it, in response to my episode about the 4 Black lesbians who were murdered. My opinion on Shonda Rimes My opinion on the idea that every black kid will be supposedly inspired to do great things by the Black Panther movie. To what extent do I think the idea of Black women's superiority to back men is rooted in an idea that Black women can become white, while Black men can't?

Today we have on Daniel Bessner (https://twitter.com/dbessner) to discuss his new book, Democracy in Exile: Hans Speier and the Rise of the Defense Intellectual http://amzn.to/2Gx9q0j, which will be available in April 2018 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.
Daniel Bessner (Ph.D., Duke University) is the Anne H.H. and Kenneth B. Pyle Assistant Professor in American Foreign Policy in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. Daniel works on intellectual and cultural history, U.S. foreign relations, the history of democratic thought, and the history of the social sciences.
The book is descrbed by the publisher as follows:
"Anyone interested in the history of U.S. foreign relations, Cold War history, and twentieth century intellectual history will find this impressive biography of Hans Speier, one of the most influential figures in American defense circles of the twentieth century, a must-read.
In Democracy in Exile, Daniel Bessner shows how the experience of the Weimar Republic’s collapse and the rise of Nazism informed Hans Speier’s work as an American policymaker and institution builder. Bessner delves into Speier’s intellectual development, illuminating the ideological origins of the expert-centered approach to foreign policymaking and revealing the European roots of Cold War liberalism.
Democracy in Exile places Speier at the center of the influential and fascinating transatlantic network of policymakers, many of them German émigrés, who struggled with the tension between elite expertise and democratic politics. Speier was one of the most prominent intellectuals among this cohort, and Bessner traces his career, in which he advanced from university intellectual to state expert, holding a key position at the RAND Corporation and serving as a powerful consultant to the State Department and Ford Foundation, across the mid-twentieth century. Bessner depicts the critical role Speier played in the shift in American intellectual history in which hundreds of social scientists left their universities and contributed to the creation of an expert-based approach to U.S. foreign relations, in the process establishing close connections between governmental and nongovernmental organizations. As Bessner writes: to understand the rise of the defense intellectual, we must understand Hans Speier."

"On the Brink" by Daniel Bessner, a book review of Daniel Ellsberg's biography https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/on-the-brink/

A collection of articles written by black women in mainstream media, as well as complilations of their online reactions that appeared. Based on these reactions, is it a reach to say these women were communicating an image of black women desperate for white validation? Is there a notable difference between “celebrating” and “being overjoyed” and finding “hope” when reading these reactions? Let us know.
- A thread I made on twitter compiling many times black media feminists actually used the word “hope” to describe the wedding:

Part 2 of our episode with ADouble:
Discussed in this episode:
- LL Cool J beats up a white intruder in his house in August 2012. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/ll-cool-won-charged-fight-burglar-los-angeles-home-lapd-article-1.1143000. “Accidental Racist” song gets released in April 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTzRJ3cpTTI. In August 2013 it gets announced “L Cool J won’t be charged in fight with burglar in his Los Angeles home: LAPD” http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/ll-cool-won-charged-fight-burglar-los-angeles-home-lapd-article-1.1143000.
