All about this insurrection. It is vital that we name what happened on January 6th, it is ESSENTIAL that we do not allow history to code this horrific display of white privilege that killed 5 of their own, as an act derived and created because of one man. It is simply not true, and we need the people responsible: white people, to create a real response to their witnessing of white privilege, was this what you imagined? Now that the FBI decided their congress people could die for the rights of white supremacy nationwide, does that bring awareness to how this idea benefits every white person? Please listen in...

I am joined by Leann Ashley who was confronted with a flaming racist on FB. She sent me the exchange and I had to address it. This man's delusions include "white people should not be dominated in our land" to "we invented the modern world" to "If it wasn't for us, THEY would be living in squalor" . I read his post several times to make sure we all understand the level of fear he is coming from. However, on a more critical analysis of his statements, how much of what he is saying is TANGIBLE evidence of the oppression BIPOC people have been stating all along. How much of what he is saying is just a description.....Join us!!

Kokayi Nosakhere, community builder, author and historian in Southern Oregon= Ashland, Medford/ Oregon joins me to discuss the realities around Aiden Ellisons murder (2 weeks ago, by a 47 yo white man-over loud music) as well as Michael Ewell, a black vet (38) that was found shot on Southern Oregon Universities campus late this summer that was swept under the rug by the campus and the Ashland Police Department. As BIPoC leaders, community members, families try to put together the tragic details of each death the community is reeling in trauma. very little, if any reliable information or grievance by the city, the journalist, or the university has been expressed, which leaves us with only the writing on the wall around racial injustice in Oregon as a whole. Join us, to hear how the community is healing and the go fund me for Aidens family is listed. I still am unable to locate a go fund me link for Michael Ewell's mother. Aiden Ellison's gofundme link: https://gf.me/u/zacitn If you're unable to access it here, please look up his FULL NAME in gofundme, and he and his story will pop right up.
