In the second half of today's show, we discuss several examples of police bullying or otherwise failing to meet the callings of their oaths. We had many examples to choose from this week and all of them felt important, but bullying underscored them all. With qualified immunity, the blue wall of silence, and no real repercussions for abuse, examples like these are innumerable and it felt like we should view this through a larger lens rather than just focusing on one example. Our Way Black History Fact is about the Stanford Experiments that give some insight into how people can abuse their peers when they have been given a position of "authority" and all other things are equal.

In the first half of today's show, we discuss Islamophobic comments made by Lauren Boebert which have been deemed offensive by Muslim-Americans. We also make the connection from trumpism to behaviors like this which have become more commonplace in recent years. In this segment, we also recognize Barbados and Rihanna for our Ebony Excellence.

In the second part of today's episode, we revisit last week's topic about the Rittenhouse verdict to make sure we acknowledge a few minor things that we missed. We also took the time to acknowledge that the world is changing and how alarming that must be for White folks...men in particular. We also make it a point to hold our ground with respect to the stance the program takes in response to White supremacy and White supremacist institutions.  For our Way Black History Fact, we take a look at the Black Codes that were enacted during reconstruction.

In the first part of today's episode, we discuss the Rittenhouse verdict and what it means for the allies of Black and Brown people. We hold a critical examination of the judge in the trial as well as the optics from conservatives. We try to make sense of the inconsistencies in the logic behind the "self-defense" cry from 2nd amendment supporters as well.

In the second half of today's show, we discuss the verdict handed down in the trial of the killers of Ahmaud Arbery. We make several comparisons to the trail of Kyle Rittenhouse and how loosely "self-defense" was used in the trial. We also examine the legacy of policing in this country with our Way Black History Fact.

The first half of today’s show we discuss an incident where an officer shot some dogs and (because of a court order) was subsequently unable to hide behind Qualified Immunity. Naturally we make comparisons to Black and Brown people who are seldom afforded such consideration. We also take a moment to give Erin Jackson who took first place in the women’s 500m speed skating race her flowers.

In the second half of the show, we revisit a story about some recent guests (Sarra, Mimi, and Mastaani) and their current standing with ASU. We also discuss the eroding support for the BLM movement and what it means to really keep that energy. Alexandre Dumas is the person we highlight for our Way Black History Fact considering that while he is well known for his works such as The Three Musketeers, and The Count of Monte Cristo, it is a lesser known fact that he was Black.

In the first half of today's show, we discuss some foods typically associated with Black Americans--specifically watermelon. There is a sad and well-documented history of prejudice and anti-Black sentiment associated with the food that still finds its way into Black life today. We share some examples of this in hopes of preventing some social faux pas!

Philadelphia passed a bill banning minor traffic stops and we examine the optics and potential outcomes of dialing back what has historically been categorized as harassment against Black and Brown communities. Our Way Black History Fact focuses on the first systematic attempt to provide a form of reparations to newly-freed slaves--40 Acres and a Mule.
