This episode takes on the history and lasting impact of the war—both political and civilian—waged against people of color in the United States. We examine how policies, policing, and propaganda have systematically targeted Black and Brown communities, from Jim Crow laws and COINTELPRO to the War on Drugs and voter suppression. The conversation connects the dots between government actions and public perception, showing how these tactics have shaped everything from housing and education to activism and incarceration. It's a hard but necessary look at how state power has been used to marginalize—and how communities have pushed back.
