Send us a Text Message.
In this episode, we discuss the overt discrimination against and humiliation of many Black people in the nightlife arena. From the obstacles to establishing an entertainment company to the politics of keeping an established Black-to-White attendance ratio in nightclubs, this form of discrimination is in need of a critical examination by all people who would stand up to prejudice and subjugation.

October 17, 2020 Civic Cipher 101720 The Prejudices Built into Policing
Send us a Text Message.
In this episode, Q. Ward and I talk about an experience we had getting pulled over and out of our car by the police in Mississippi. We illustrate that there are certain prejudices built into policing that unfairly criminalize and subjugate Black people. Furthermore, we identify certain points that are central to the campaign to defund the police. Obviously we lived to tell the tale, but the story certainly gives insight into what it is like to be Black and (overly) policed in this country.
