Special guest Tarik Davis (Freestyle Love Supreme, Brothers From Another Planet) graciously joins us to facilitate an in depth discussion of the evils of systemic racism through the lens of three historical figures - Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon Bonaparte, and J. Edgar Hoover. Send your feedback to @podcastbutevil. Tarik can be found at @tarikrdavis. And, of course, #BlackLivesMatter.

Also, Tarik was kind enough to direct us to the following additional sources:
