*25:27 – Dragon complains about Microsoft.  I give 2019 commentary about backlash at Microsoft regarding diversity initiatives, and how tech people are generally goons.

*36:34 – I challenge Dragon about how he feels the white race is threatened. We also argue about the Tower of Babel story in the Bible.

*45:30 – I discuss how a founding member of Ace of Base was formerly a neo-nazi skinhead, further proof that nazis make shitty music.

*1:02:43 – I try to really understand why Dragon enjoys stereotypes of other races, what it does for him emotionally.

On this episode...I try a brand new format where I comment DURING the episode of "The Hate Project" that I am revisiting.  This time, I am revisiting episode 27 which originally aired on April 15, 2013 (exactly 6 years ago today!!).  Check the timestamps below for the topics discussed - highlights include a call from "Mandelacon", discussions of imperialism, and my dramatic performance of Brad Paisley's "accidental racist" 

*00:00 - Intro

*05:12 – Intro to “The Hate Project: Episode 27” where I establish newer ground rules.  I decide to start a hate group against rude people

*08:47 – I offer to do a dramatic rendition of Brad Paisley’s “Accidental Racist” with any hatemonger who wants to call in and do the LL Cool J verse.

*13:38 – discussion of online shitpost hate forum Nimbusters

*16:05 – I assess this “hate project” experiment and whether it’s doing any good.  I describe Flannery O’Connor’s “The Artificial Nigger” and how it relates to the actual hatemonges here.

*22:03 – Republican Kansas county commissioner using the N-word in 2013 and how this is the real soul of repubs / racist people having black friends as insurance

*27:28 – klansman Dragon1488 has an Indian primary care physician, this makes me mad as an Indian-American and I call out the hypocrisy, though I still disguise myself bc I am also anonymous on this show.

*36:46 – A call from Mandelacon (sp?), who claims to be part of the Pan-African Intelligence Network yet does not belong to any sect or group.  This is a new and interesting perspective for this show, even in the incoherent moments. He talks about imperialism and state violence versus humanity.

*1:00:13 – resident klansman Dragon1488 calls in.  I call him on his hateful rhetoric, then try to introduce brand new stereotypes to him.

*1:00:54 – My current commentary on my interactions with Dragon – did I let him off too easily in being friendly with him on these calls?

*1:00:56 – My dramatic rendition of Brad Paisley’s “Accidental Racist”

*2:00:04 - Outro

On this Episode...I have a one-on-one interview with Roman Rimer, who called in to the "Hate Project" a few times during its 2012-2013 run (you can hear him on POC episodes 5,9,14,20). Roman is a trans, queer community activist and performer based in the Bay Area, and he hosts a weekly radio show as well.  Roman and I reflect on how our views have changed in the last few years in regards to having peaceful dialogues with hate mongers, be they nazis or TERFS. Roman also discusses the worsening homelessness and wealth disparity problems in the Bay Area, and how they're connected to the presence of big tech companies but are also part of a long colonialist tradition. We also discuss how every major American "liberal" city is essentially a police state designed to protect the wealth of the wealthiest. Other topics include how mainstream liberals often blockade true progress, sex workers and the marginalization of communities as a way of keeping everyone in line, the power of people in affecting societal change, and the value of creating communities and networks as a way of sustaining each other when the government fails us.

At the top of the show, I discuss the horrific Christchurch New Zealand Mosque shooting, and the white supremacist online shitposting nature of it. I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 26" original air date March 25, 2013, which contains an insane rage-filled conversation with a white nationalist named "Loganhunter" who expresses aggrievement that white people and white countries are under attack from Jewish and non-white forces.  At one point he says that most churches are "communistic race-mixing whorehouses" which makes me question whether I should go back to church. Resident Klansman Dragon 1488 calls in, and seemingly sincerely invites me to a rally.  I do not take him up on it, but today in 2019, I wonder if I should have.  The reason for this is that I watched Deeyah Khan's doc "White Right", and her face-to-face interactions encouraged a couple of  neo-nazis to leave their hate groups.  However, I also grapple with the fact that it's not my or other people of color's job to reform racists, and it's also possible I would have just been used to give respectability to the klan. Also, Dragon simply continues to espouse his disgusting racist ideology and deflects the conversation when challenged. Also, a prank call and another call from anti-racist Patrick Hwang who again debates Dragon. I also discuss gay comedian Scott Kennedy who died in 2013.

I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 25" original air date March 18, 2013, where I discuss the Steubenville High School rape case, the danger of raising boys to feel like they can do anything.  Roman calls back in, we talk about sexuality and gender.  Longer talk with white nationalist Tyrant Trooper who claims "our race is our religion" yet claims to do charity work with other groups of people. A man named "Puffy" calls in and dunks on Tyrant.  African-American sports host Najradio calls back in, makes cogent arguments to counter Tyrant's white nationalist talking points.  Tyrant gets mad at this point and claims we're turning on him.  Anti-Racist Patrick Hwang calls in, as well as other prank calls.  As far as current events, I talk about the disturbing revelation that ICE is tracking protesters and going beyond their mission to squash free speech, including a peaceful rally to counter the invasion of hate group Identity Evropa in their neighborhood.  Also discuss the exposure of Identity Evropa's discord chats and their connection to the wider GOP as well as other white terrorism.

I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 24" which aired on March 11, 2013. One of the overall funnier episodes, though it still has some terrible ideologies of hatred espoused. This episode of HP has a lot of prank calls (from the same dude) as well as white nationalists/supremacists lamenting that white culture is under attack from multiculturalism facilitated by the jews, including the resident klansman Dragon 1488, as well as callers "Saxon1" "GovHater" and "Tyrant Trooper".  Thankfully, the African-American radio host NajRadio as well as the anti-racist Patrick Hwang call in to counter-balance these views with reality. Some insightful moments, some funny moments within the overall bullshit. At the beginning, I talk about the Jussie Smollet hate crime hoax, white nationalist terrorist and active Coast Guard member Christopher Paul Hasson, and House Rep. Steve King.

I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 23" which originally aired on March 4th, 2013. This particular THP episode begins with a prank call, then the resident klansman Dragon1488 calls in. The bulk of this episode is a conversation with Patrick (or Paul) Hwang, who is an Anti-racist who trolls white supremacist Harold Covington and other white supremacists.  Patrick reveals that he had an encounter Covington's hate group Northwest Front, which spurred him to monitor these hate folks.  At the beginning of this episode, I discuss a neo-nazi influencer outside of Ft. Worth, TX, the collusion between the Portland Police and the hate group Patriot Prayer, and how the white supremacist bible "The Turner Diaries" has been able to flourish online.

I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 22" which aired on February 25, 2013. Due to my meltdown from "Hate Project Episode 21", I decide to turn off the chat room that allows people to comment during the broadcast, and I only allow phone calls. The resident klansman Dragon1488 and Neo-nazi McBride call in.  Unfortunately, this ends up allowing these two to have my platform all to themselves in order to amplify their ideology of hate.  African-American sports host NajRadio calls in to offer his great insights in the face of the ignorance. Several prank calls and trolls also add to the chaos which I was trying to avoid. However, I shoehorn in some info on black inventors to fight against Dragon's ignorant assertion that black people have not contributed to our society.  Also, some discussion on Jussie Smollet, Ralph Northam and VA Democrat leadership, Liam Neeson
