Is this the right time to talk about antisemitism? Is there a wrong time to talk about it? Can we have the conversation about Palestinian liberation at the same time? This is a pretty personal, impromptu episode I decided to do with Greg Bryant to explore questions I'm asking myself right now as someone who has been a strong advocate for the Jewish people. 

We try to be careful not to equate issues of antisemitism with issues of anti-Zionism, but why does a conversation about one so quickly lead to a conversation about the other? 

Doing any advocacy work around antisemitism is going to require that I be more outspoken about what's going on in the world right now. And I can't say I'm looking forward to learning how to hold those two realities simultaneously. But I'm going to try.

Je'Niece McCullough worked side-by-side with her dad, Bernie Mac for the last few years of his life. She had a front-row seat into his process, and she was able to observe him up close and personal at the very top of his game.

She didn't grow up as the privileged child of a famous man -- Bernie achieved most of his commercial success when she was well into adulthood. For that reason, Je'Niece has a unique perspective on fame and wealth. She was able to observe the consistency in her father's character as he made his slow climb to the top.

Bernie was a 'real one,' and Je'Niece is a product of his tutelage. Follow Je'Niece's podcast, Bernie's Daughter, where she interviews the people who knew him best. If you love Bernie, you'll love her podcast.

Many of us know Holly Robinson Peete from her long career in television, beginning with "21 Jump Street" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." But did you know her first on-screen appearance happened much earlier? She's the daughter of Matt Robinson, who was the first "Gordon" on Sesame Street. Holly actually made her television debut on her dad's show in the early '70's.

This is the first of several episodes where we'll focus on Dads and Daughters. In this episode, Holly talks about what it was like to grow up with a dad whose job she didn't always understand. She also discusses the many challenges he faced in attempting to bring an inner-city character, Roosevelt Franklin, to the airwaves at a time when allowances were not made for a multitude of Black voices on the air.

Holly also discusses her career over the last 40 years, and gives insight into the driving force behind the "HollyRod" foundation she and her husband, Rodney Peete began all the way back in 1997, which is still going strong today.

Jessica Aiwuyor and I discuss the ways misinformation and disinformation has infiltrated Black online spaces, and where the mis- and disinformation might be coming from.

This episode works as a great companion piece to the last episode of the podcast where I talked to Dr. Dan McClellan about the Khazar Theory, which has been adopted by a contemporary sect of Hebrew Israelites.

The Khazar Theory, which states that the Ashkenazi Jews are not ethnically Jewish, has had a long and sordid history, having been promoted by a small group of scholars, writers and geneticists for the last 200 years. In the age of social media, the theory has made its way to the mainstream, picking up support from some very high profile celebrities. But what is the historical, linguistic and genetic grounding for this theory? Why has it continued to gain steam despite being repeatedly discredited by scholars across multiple disciplines? 

Dara and Dr. Dan are unpacking "The Khazar Theory" while discussing the proliferation of misinformation, and their shared goal of educating those who seek real understanding and knowledge. Find Dr. Dan McClellan on all platforms at @maklelan.

By now, most people are familiar with the concept of cultural appropriation. But many questions still remain about cultural appropriation between minority groups. This is hardly a straightforward question, and the nuances that exist between various people groups can be discussed endlessly. But is there a "quick and dirty" way to describe what happens when two non-dominant cultures exhibit cultural insensitivity towards one another?

This week we're discussing Jason Aldean's "Small Town" video. I'm one of the 5 people that thinks there's a chance he didn't know the significance of the site where the video was filmed. Doesn't make it less racist, though. But it does reveal one of the common traps people can fall into when they try to claim ignorance around racial history. The song is an obvious dogwhistle to lynching and sundown towns, but the part many people seem unwilling to acknowledge is the conspiracy of silence that exists around race in many white families in the U.S.
