i don't want them to only be black-ish." - from now on, we will be black out loud. - "black-ish" had been a part of. - our whole family will celebrate juneteenth. - all right. - boom! i know where to buy strawberry soda. - and i make a mean red velvet cake. - i'll fire up the grill. that loud and black enough for you? - yeah, mm-hmm. - i'll hang up my stocking. - oh, buddy. - and now it's on the national calendar forever, something that's still mind blowing to me. - president biden signed the juneteenth national independence day act into law. - we did an episode about a little white girl in the elevator by herself, and the black man shouldn't get on it. and they just. (laughs) (doors ding) but so many white people came up to me and was like, "is that a thing?" and i'm like, "hell yeah!" that was just as important of an episode as juneteenth was. it's like these topics that we touched on. - excuse me! - here we go again. - i hope you enjoy the rest of your racist pageant! johnsons, we out! - no! no, no, no, no! (upbeat hip hop music) (ding chimes) (upbeat music) - today, i'm very prou

you know, only black writers write about black folks t have nothing to do with black people., black people, black culture is just a way to make a buck as a writer, you know? i mean, i'm that to be married to a person, i s y time. but there folks weren't even comfortable, often asking to be around black repeat black ■(writers, except in a passing way. i don't even know black writers, you know. i mean and so and then the folks who get stuck in their own generation and have no conversation with people who are older, younger, that's the kind of stuff i'm talking about. that's the internalized oppression i'm talking about. i to just be around people only my age range, you know, only my perspective. round older people can be younger people and i got to learn how to listen. you. that's what i'm talking about. healing, it's like, you know, i'm not here to debate anybody. i'm not here to argue with anybody. i'm here to have a conversation. well, how do you feel? this is my perspective as someone who grew up without a daddy welfare, food stamps, government. she's hated myself. the firs

black people. young, black, and i'm documenting a historical. malfeasance as well as the contemporary responses that are the same thing. and i'm showing a history of liberal, asian and resistance. and then articulating and holding up the i just think about in ballers of a new the very much maligned hip hop culture you know post-civil rights black power and this hip hop generation of of of of that is not trying to be engage in respectability politics, right say a guy who likes hip hop, who likes to wear suits. that would be me. right? but but be true to yourself. you buy, be who you are and why is that so fearful? but i'm really speaking to to to that generates and challenging them but at the same time if you if you are in the the dominant if you're in a white culture and you and you want to understand white supremacy and how it functions i really pulled on theories here's some tools in which to this racial contract and how it's happening and why the way you're yourself is seem as lesser than and wh

so is black america. is black is brixton in england. are catching hell all around world. most people are catching hell. some people just don't. they're catching here because of whatever privilege they might have. but the reality is 1% of the controls, everything on the planet, that's what this is really about, younow what i mean? and so we're fighting each around race, color, gender, -- identity. that's purposeful. they want us to be fighting each other. but if you're messed up, you and you even see that. you know what i mean? y'all know what i'm talking about. if you look at what's going on in this country around the world is purposely pitting people against other you know what i mean? and so when i think about real healin together, no matter who they are black folks? yes. iblack writers conference but people in general. so we can understand we can actually create something. i'm just saying what i want to fight against. what is the world? i want to see where everyone can be free to be who they are. no matter who you are, you can be who

black cities. he said his votes keep going up, or his support keeps going up, after he took his mugshot, that black people relate to that or something, you know, we can relate to going to jail and taking mugshots. it is just insulting and rude and disrespectful, and there is no way he would ever get my vote. host: all right, that call from kentucky. now we're going to turno all of you this morning and take her temperature on campaign 2024 we're opening it up to all demographics. if you are a democrat, dial in at (202) 748-8000. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. you can also text us at (202) 748-8003, just include your first name, city, and state. or join us on facebook or x. your choice for campaign 2024. first, yesterday, senator j.d. vance, ohio senator, republican, was on the sunday shows, and this is what he had to say on what he is voting for president trump. [video clip] >> manhattan courtroom, in ohio alongside donald trump at a fundraiser, and you keep getting asked

the second black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. black women had of military units.seeing the most diverse and strongest fighting force in the history of the world. folks, the threat trump poses is good in the second term than in the first. it is true that when he left in 2020, something really snapped in this guy. [laughter] no, i'm serious. that is why january 6 happened, when he unleashed an insurrection. now he's running again that he is clearly unhinged. he calls insurrectionists who stormed the capital "patriots." if reelected, he wants to harden, quote, "every one of them." let me ask you. what do you think you would have done on january 6 if black americans had stormed the capitol? think about this? what would've happened if black americans had stormed the capitol? i don't think he would be talking about pardons. this is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested george floyd's murder. the same guy who still calls the central park five "guilty," even though they were exonerated. he is that landlord who denies housing applications beca

as the president said, black yot to black teachers.lack students who have black teachers are significantly more likely to graduate from high school. and enroll in college. it makes a difference. it matters. my department of education provided additional aos half a million dollars, $450,000,000 to ensure more diverse ters this will go to training teachers at hbcu's, tribal colleges and minority-serving institutions. by the way, not because i'm married to one, but we need to give teachers a raise. [applause] i meant. every child deserves a quality education. how can we -- how can we have the strongest economy in the world without the best education world? i mean it's not possible. it tap into the full talents of our entire nation. the answer starts with childhood, early childhood education. because of the nation's legacy discrimination, black children start school an average of seven months bind their peers in reading. but one year of universal, high quality pre-k could eliminate 98% of that gap. o year. when children go to preschool, th

even though sandy smith was black. black woman. and so in any it's a it's a they think they may have targeted at certain leaders of the movement including sandy. so they say it's not racial animus. political animus. right. because you're a communist. this is the reason why this happened. and so no one is convicted ultimately, they do a civil case. they're able to win a civil case because one of the members of the workers party is not a member of the communist workers party. that's saying, well, because you're not communists, we can't use political animus to justify your killing. right? so they are able to get some money for that. but the involved keep doing movement work, but we think less of an activism, right? they're active. a stop doesn't stop when they stop being students right. they she remained in greensboro politics right after. she graduates and when she dies been a college student are like, well, why didn't we know her right. and so at the end years later, they've done like many demonstrations every year. they do a demons

black female country artist is now the text.usic is three chords and the truth, that's mickey guyton's truth and she's singing about it. - country music is always evolving, but when it does that, there's this, like, push and pull between what it used to be, where it wants to go, and where other people are pushing it. - in 2021, tj osborne, one of the two brothers osborne, came out as gay. this is remarkable in the country music industry for a mainstream country act. - before i came out, it was like these-- i felt very, like, stiff anywhere i went. well, you know, i was micromanaging every move. (singing) don't give me that look, that "let me down easy" smile i would sit still and hold a guitar and sing into a microphone. i didn't want to do anything or say anything that might bring questions that would make me uncomfortable. (singing) i'm right back where i'm really home - when tj came out to me, i felt relieved for him that he was able to tell me something like that. i knew that he wasn't having to carry that weight. secrets ar

joe black: sure. yeah. donnie o'sullivan: what i find most difficult to believe about the taylor swift, travis, kelce, super bowl conspiracy theory is that you think the democrats could be so organized to pull all this off. joe black: very organized. donnie o'sullivan: do you think? joe black: i do. yes. donnie o'sullivan: we're going to get together as well as rigging the super bowl, and taylor is going to back biden for president. that's just so much stuff. like, that is so much organization but-- joe black: it's not that hard to do. donnie o'sullivan: you don't think? joe black: no. donnie o'sullivan: yeah. rigging the election, that'd be a lot more complicated. donald trump: this is a fraud on the american public. we know there was massive fraud. it was a rigged election. [channting] donnie o'sullivan: it seems that trump's convincing of millions of americans at the last election was rigged has opened some kind of gateway. julianne: the facts have shown that the election was stolen. derrick evans: there

i president need the black vote in november?— president need the black vote in november?r? i think he needs it very badly. i think— in november? i think he needs it very badly. i think it - in november? i think he needs it very badly. i think it was - in november? i think he needs it very badly. i think it was a i it very badly. i think it was a major building block of what his winning coalition was in 2020, and to see these numbers now, i think it's critical that he doubles down on the black community. and i don't think the bite and menstruation has done enough in the black community to ensure he wins again in 2020.— community to ensure he wins again in 2020. he's been taking criticism from _ again in 2020. he's been taking criticism from democrats - again in 2020. he's been taking criticism from democrats and i criticism from democrats and his supporters, saying that the campaign is essentially taking the black vote for granted — do you think that's true? the black vote for granted - do you think that's true?- you think that's true? i think this today — you think that's

black life. to the images printed in the black press that circulated across the country we must also see till mobley asks three and orator and four and educator due to her, that still story should always be told and taught. given her interest in subjects like english and poetry, and her experiences as a public teacher, playwright on the south end and playwright on the south side of chicago, mamie till-mobley believe that knowledge creation is a transformative because. she did not confine herself to the classroom. till mobley was also political lobbyists. she was a fighter for racial and was committed to holding state powers accountable for the roles that played in the death of her son. this image here shows mamie till-mobley canvasing on the us capitol a or so after emmett till is killed. and next we must see mamie till-mobley as a four mother. a few years prior to her death, till mobley was asked about her legacy and the role that she played in making the world. a better place. some things are b

at the spring meadow, as greenwood championed black independence black entrepreneurship, black strength. mary jones, parrish, a local typing teacher, was one of the first people to call it the -- wall. but more than riches was you, parrish greenwood was, quote the wonderful cooperation, observed our people just this terrain. but this terrain, the agreement it cultivated, it was contested neighborhood success starts on the in the minds of many white oklahomans. oklahoma, at its founding a declared that black ambition and intellect were at odds with the white agenda. as a rule, -- are failures as lawyers, doctors and other professions. william murray, a future governor, governor of oklahoma, said of the state's constitutional convention. it is an entirely false notion that the -- can rise to the equal of the white man. not long after murray speech, the state showed a show to segregate train cars, even phone booths in tulsa, interracial baseball games were banned. harper hateful rhetoric and dehumanizing laws inevitably lead to violence and so it was in these united states during the 19 te

on black crime.ide usually is a crime that involves■t people in close proximity to one another, people who know one another. we can talk■l about hispanic cre it is an approximate kind of occurrence. one of the things you raise is this idea that ecologists -- sociologists call sometimes oppressed people pick up on theive self-evaluation that comes in a racialized society. who devalues herself, it is in some ways easi tgainst people we like you. that psychological dynamic that happens in which ritualization is a huge factor. host:ck to viola fletcher's testimony before congress and a forgotten tragedy, where there other forgotten massacres on tulsa the u.s.? guest: there are a number of historical racial tragedies that occurred throughout the u.s. in 1919, in arkansas, a so-called right. loany outbreak in baltimore, washington, memphis, more thanriots in america in 1919. most of our listeners -- i guess most of our listeners are unaware of those occurrences. callers referred to a horrific lynching she

there is a black woman.nd yet we still end up with something. e rodney king, if you ask me. so unfortunately we i refer to this as cosmetic diversity. right. there's genuine diversity, diversity and thought, etc. diversity in which the true diversity the true value of diversity is leaning intounique. ask them how they can make things better by simply satisfying the employment discrimination aspect is not enough. you know, we have to go further if. we're going to get more women, more black, more people from different religions, name it in certain spaces, then have to tap into them to get the changes that we need. so unfortunately, that itself will i mean, are the all the anecdotal situations that can happen because that officer is has a cultural so similarity to someone. sure. but in terms of of of why dynamic systemic change, diversity, i don't think will ever be the answer and not in. we have to go further. i mean, and there's a a similar dynamic at brownsville. this was probably my favorite part of the sto

we know that black most black people have that black person in their. yes. and if we meet them at the cookout or reunion or thanksgiving or every night when you go to dinner. and so we have a moment right now where seems as though there's a growing faction of black americans are tired of being captured in one party but the nature of american politics that we always rest in a two party system. parties aren't in the constitution, but that's just how we've organized ourselves from the beginning. when we have a third party, one of two things happens. either it subsumes of the two dominant parties or one of the two dominant parties subsumes the third party. we always end up with this kind of balanced equilibrium. so in this moment, we're growing of black people seem to be frustrated and don't want to engage that is of great concern to me as a political scientist and that's on local, state and federal level. we focus on the federal level, but obviously in new york, you all know we have roughly 17% of people who bother to show up for municipal elections across new

you got black marxists running around black nationalists running around, you know, black liberals running around, black internationalists running around. you have this complex landscape that's international in its in its in its in its in its focus and and the like. that gives the vibrancy of black politics. that sets the stage for what pops off in the mid 20th century. and so part of what i'm trying to do in this moment is to open up our understanding so that when people when elites invoke that movement to disrupt in our political imaginations, that we have resources to fight back. we have resources to imagine ourselves and to imagine our politics in more expansive terms. so so you just said something about obama embodying kings legacy as a fulfillment of the dream. and i just want to share this litany that emerged shortly after he was elected president. and i'm going to paraphrase it, but essentially that rosa said so martin could march and obama could run. and and so that all the children could fly. this this was a litany attributed to jay-z in the moment. and so, as i said to start thi

i don'ms of black on black crime. usually is a involves one another, people who know one another. we can talk about hispanic crime . ■■it is an■: approxima kind of occurrence. one of the things youa that eco- sociologists call internalized oppression. sometimes oppressed peopl pick up on the negative self-evaluation that comes in a racialized society. if you a a person who devalues himself or herself, it is in some ways easier to engage in violence against people who are like you. that is a psychological dynamic that happens in socie i which ritualization is a huge factor. host: coming back tviola fletcher's testimony before congress and a forgotten tragedy, where there other forgotten massacres on the level of tulsa that happened in the u.s.? guest: there are a number of historical racial tragedies that occurred throughout the u.s. in 1919, in elaine, arkansas, a so-called right. longview, texas. any outbreak in baltimore, washington, d.c., memphis, more than-called race riots in america in 1919. y]most of our listen

prentice: i think black twitter's any space, at least on the platform, it was at the time, where blackically itself and drive conversations. sometimes typically, black culture in this country has the code switch or be sensitive or not to its full truth, and i feel like black twitter is a space where we got to be fully who we were, and again dr conversations in america, especially ones that are uncomfortable. amna: why do you think it became so potent, such a cultural force? prentice: i think it became a cultural forest because i think a lot of times historically in america, black life and the things that have mattered to black culture have sort of been over there and you can isolate yourself from it. you don't have to read essence magazine or ebony magazine or you don't have to watch black shows or listen to certain music, whatever, you can kind of curate your own kind of bubble america. but on twitter you couldn't write because you can open the platform and see things that were mattering to black culture and black america up there with things that were on cnn, cnn or msnbc, so you cou

you have black genius and grassroots genius on display, and black joy. - we vote! all: we win! - we vote! all: we win! - welcome to the new georgia. welcome to the blue georgia. - republicans taking another step to prevent what they believe is voter fraud at the polls. - 48 states have introduced at least 389 bills to restrict voting. - both of those senate seats flipped from red to blue, and so republicans in georgia want to make sure that that doesn't happen again. - anytime a political party abuses their power to actually put laws in place so that whoever does not vote for them, they can prevent them from voting, that in itself is political corruption. - we are fighting for our lives! we are fighting for our votes! we are fighting for our democracy! - what do we want? all: voting rights! - when do we want it? all: now! - something's got to give. something has to change. the old south is being replaced by the new south. - we are georgia! - this is a national fight. this isn't just a georgia issue. [all chanting] georgia is the beginning. it is only the beginning. as goes geor

black men in the 1850s. it is meetings with african-americans in 1864 that push lincoln on this issue. he begins working behind scenes to push for black suffrage. a day after, i believe the second meeting took place with this delegation, lincoln sent a letter to the governor of louisiana, where he said that black men should have the right to vote. he, for instance, those who are very and especially those who have fought gallantly in the ranks. he said they would probably help in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty, the family of freedom. in other words, black voters will help the nation survive during reconstruction, which might ugly. and it did. and required black voters, officeholders to help push the nation forward. all right. i think it's my favorite time. more questions. he's a great one. this is an excellent segway. dr. white, the letters seem so eloquent. american history has taught slaves were not taught to read and write. who taught them to read and write? it's a wonderful. literac

that's not hyperbole.hbcu's are% of black engineers in america. 50% of black teachers. 70% of all blackcto and dentists. 80% of all black judges. the way, i put more on the bench than anybody ever has. [cheers and applause] and 100% ofck presidents. applause] we got it. cu don't have endowments like other colleges and universities that are abl fo much more. kamala and ito lift hbcu's up ae keeping that commitment. today i'm proud to announce, as was mentioned earlier by the es invested over $16 billion in hbcu's. by fhe of any administration, combination amt administrations. [applause] th investment helps hbcu's do everything from student house, study climate science, create health research lab, prepare black state of the unionsause te the endowments to do it th. let's be clear. i know real power when i see it. later today, in the oval office, i'll be meeting with the presidents of the divine nine. [cheers and applause] you all think i'm kidding, don't you? i'm proud that we're the first -- you got [cheers and applause] i can tell there's -- anyway. we're the first administration in his

but despite all of these forces pulling white and black, new orleanians, white and black southerners apart, there were moments of real hope in the city. and for that, we need to look not up, but down, down to the city's docks. look at the lives of the workers, the laborers who did the work on those docks, loading and offloading cargo ships. today's lecture will cover the up and down fortunes of new orleans and new orleanians by looking up and looking down, up at the sky. as we just have been down at e city's docks and down at a lowly tropical fruit, and how all of this was intertwined symbolically at the turn of the century. this photograph, taken in 1891, shows dockworkers readying giant bales of cotton for loading onto boats and shipping all ovethe world. the 1890s marked the beginnings of oanized labor unions on these docks, also on lal and national levels. these labor unions allied and assisted each other in fighting for better, safer, fairer working conditions. labor unions during ts progressive era popularized what we call strikes that is mass organized work stoppages, refusals

so because as the president said black students, but prisca, young black man react to black teacherslacks is students who have black teachers are significantly more likely to graduate from high school and enroll in college it makes a difference and it matters. my department of education provided additional almost half $1 billion for it and $50 to ensure teachers in our school reflect the diversity in our country we're just getting started this monday is going to go toward training the next generation of teachers at hbcus tribal colleges and minority serving as the patient by the way not because i'm married to one, but we need to give teachers a i made it nonetheless, him brown, is that every child deserves the quality education. how can we think in simple terms, how can we have the strongest economy in the world without the best education in the world is not possible. >> the, taps into, the full talents of our entire nation the answer starts with childhood, early childhood education. because of the nation's legacy of discrimination of black children start school that average of seven

black and white unions. most elite remained united despite continued efforts throughout the 20th century to racially divide them. the half half system was something that the black and white unions devised themselves, and this was important that labor strikes were not as prominent or massive as that 1892 general strike. this was important. it was important to workers, but it was really more important to the bosses. they really wanted to appeal to the workers at the turn of the century because the fortunes of the city were changing once again, the fortunes of the port of new orleans were dramatically shifting. and that shift was precipitated by a new commodity. and can we guess what that new commodity was that is entering the ports of new orleans around the turn of the century? someone say it, banana, as we can see them here. okay. bananas. so to talk about bananas, we have to talk about this man. enter samuel z. murray, who soon became known as sam the baan and who has heard of sam's murray or sam the banana

the haas time we hear joe biden talk to black folk, sometimes he says you can't be black if you don'tme, or something as asinine as republicans want to put you back in chains. the last time i checked the only person restraining black economic growth is joe biden and bidenomics. so, please, don't pander to people smart enough to smell what you're cooking. [laughter] will: he's cooking, joe biden continuing this tour this week in atlanta and detroit. we talked about morehouse college. he's targeting brach voters in those two cities and states -- black voters. rachel: those people in morehouse college are the most likely to vote for democrats, right? so, i mean, the more educated class, those going into those historically black colleges which are very, you know, talk about indock try nation, those schools are not immune from it, and they're very anti-republican, anti-conservative ideas and so forth. but it's the guys that are driving the ubers, the guys that are in the barbershops -- pete: that's exactly right. rachel: how do you reach those guys? pete: what joe biden is doing is playing

and she was also blacks were buying it., you know, the distinct thing he's making is those for know those early years and albert is not completely wrong is not wrong at all and the newspapers could be conservative but there were progressives in black communities as well. i'm my parents left wing bought it first you know and then it moved to the genuine generally liberal ones. so is there disagreement about, the black community and the consumption, the song strange fruit, i mean, i'm hearing two things today. i'm thinking about my parents, for example. so my parents marched on washington. my grandmother born in 1903, they were all very angry and very political. but i don't know this song from my childhood and from being with them and listening to their music, i was aware of strange fruit by nina simone in the i guess the so maybe what we're hearing is two different desires to different sizes avoiding in the late thirties early forties large of blacks were not buying this record it or we are going to listen know to it or writ

and he did, he got 12% of the black vote in 20 19% of black men. the highest percentages for a republican presidential nominee in years what percentage? let's do you think he might get this november? >> i think it will be higher than the percentage that he got before. i think black americans are no different than any other americans. they feel the pinch of the inflation you know, they know what it feels like when they have to go fill up their gas tank they see the crime that's running rampant, that people, repeat offenders are being led out of prison. and endangering them and their neighborhoods they slits happening with the border and how that's impacting their own communities how other people's issues are being put in the front burners and they're the being put on a backburner i think those are the issues that are pushing them toward trump. >> let's talk about something in the perilous fight, there are a lot of really interesting parts of this that you could spend five hours talking about. but one of them that's relevant to today's politics. in p

whether you are black or white. i left a fancy law firm that i had just joined and decided to become a public defender. and then a county counsel, and working to change our state's policy. the democratic party in delaware was a southern democratic party at the time. they wanted to change it to become a northeastern democratic party. then, trying to get someone to run for the united states senate, the year nixon ran. i was 29 years of age. i had no notion of running. i loved reading about how everyone knew i was going to run, i didn't know i was going to run. when a group of senior members of the democratic party came to me, they couldn't find anybody to run, they said, you should run. nixon won night stay by 60% of the vote. we won by 3100 votes. we won by the finishing margins. over the broad coalition, including students from the best hbcu in america, delaware state university. you guys are good. [laughter] they got me elected. you all think i'm kidding. i'm not kidding. [laughter] by christmas, i was a newly elec

for black teachers black communities. and so while some education reformers were definitely directly challenged, the encroachment of private interests into public domains others sought to stake a claim in this emerging order. so i'll use the example of a woman named chicago. but then she ran this woodlawn black woman. eventually became the first black woman to be superintendent of a large school district in washington in the 1970s, aalso edmonds, who was very much involved both in new york ci but also in national public school policy. and they used corporate organizational models to replicate to replicate high achieving schools for poor black blackform not so by their interest in privatized fashion as a solution to the problems that black were facing in education. but from their own work, in struggles, desegregation and communityold i think their ideas reflected a different history and set of mot policies of organizations like the heritage foundation or the liberal democratic leadership council. so a when sort of communit

it 3 more thanjust the black man or more than just the black man or black boy, it is every person withthe status quo, the people they are used to being targeted. police departments, it has been written about a lot of times that their targets are used as black people, and those particular training methods do not help when they are on the street. they are trained and growing up in a part of the country where you have never interacted with a person of colour, never even spoke a spanish—language word in their life, they are being thrown into a community where they are having to assimilate to these people they have never interacted with. although your aunt with easy police training, their reactions will be nervous, all the negatives that would be the first thing, triple pull out your gun, that is where we as parents and family members have to talk to our kids, even ourselves sometimes, to make sure we have our id when we leave the house, we are giving eye contact when spoken to, not making aggressive movements. having these tools when we are trying to go to the store to get something to eat

they saw it as a symbol of black identity and black pride. the army hired of the famous black barber and sent him around the world teaching. local barbers how to cut black hair, to cut black afros and stopped charging people extra for them. they came forward and said, we can solve thisro yeah, it isn't right. we look at ourselves and what we have are ts te soldiers. we have country music, don't have soul music. we carrygazi. we don't carry ebony. you're right. if your christmas time, all thes are white. what about the black families? and so they did what the army does. ey did intensive studies and they wrote reports, and they came up with a list of hundred o be kept in stock that were aimed, quote, ethnic consumers and black consumers. and it hazjanuse what soldiers and their families could get what theyantemore. but it also had an impact on black businesses because it was the thirorouh largest retail outlet in the world. and so know if if the packs the the system decides that they're going carry your record, suddenly you're going to do well
