This week Farah and I discuss the summer trend. Cops murdering Black people. We often hear about the rise in violence in communities when it gets warmer. Yet, we don't discuss how that violence is often instigated and performed by those in uniform. We discuss this dynamic and our thoughts on how we defend the murdered in public discourse.

We're back with a very important conversation for all my woke, criminal justice reformers and prison abolitionists. For those who come to the determination that the current status of our criminal justice system needs changing, it's difficult when you yourself have to interact with it on a personal level. What do you do when you're facing a harm that typical would call for the justice system to intervene? Do you feel guilty for calling the police? Do you avoid conflict cause the system is so broken. On this episode we discuss this conundrum and alternatives to criminal justice as we currently know it.

The title is very straightforward but the conversation is very complicated. Black people rarely benefit from white American capitalism yet, sometimes we perpetuate the same system that's designed to oppress Black people. This conversation was very thought provoking for me and I want to know your answers. Should Black people promote capitalism?

With the help of Melissa and Michelle this incident spread like a wildfire causing Starbucks to extend apologies, and complete sensitivity training for all it's employees. Since then, the ladies started an organization called From Privilege to Progress. Together they are using their platform to discuss the biases and privilege white people enjoy and how they can use their privilege to be better allies for black people and other people of color.

However, are we being taught how to manage our financial burdens and be civic participants in America?
