Sox and Sandals Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Philip Mcnassar and we dive into his worldview of Skepticism/Athiest/Agnostic (6:50). We deep dive into the rabbit hole of the comparison of belief in Santa Clause vs. belief in God (17:50). Faith in God vs faith in science (31:50). Stanford prison experiment (38:34). Phil’s origin story belief (44:40)… I could hit you with more notes, but believe me when I say the rest of the conversation continues with the same consistent dopiness, if not more, than it started with….

This episode focuses on the Religion/Worldview of Christianity. I am joined by Lu-El Fantroy of Everhope Church. Lu-El tells us why Everhope is going to be such an impactful church (1:45). He gives us the foundation of his belief system (8:27. Lu-El discusses the way he came to the faith (18:30), and what it looks like to pursue righteousness/holiness as opposed to perfection (28:30). If y’all know me I had to ask about how Christianity is supposed to approach dealing with the evil of White Supremacy (30:36). Is racism stronger than the Holy Spirit (41:21)? We talk about how Christianity defines sin (57:17). We wrap up the conversation with the basic steps of what it takes to begin your walk with Christ (1:06:52).

Racistman and Racistwoman is entertained that we think the constitution was written with us (Afro-Americans) in mind. They don’t care about our family or these so called sacrifices we speak of, pertaining to our contributions to this country via labor, military, entertainment… Does the founder of any major clothing brand care about some factory worker that made shoes in the 80’s but has now died? Does Mr. Founder concern himself with the family of Mr. 80’s assembly line shoemaker? Mr. Founder is looking out for his interests and those of his family and businesses.... We should do the same. Expect to be disrespected. White Supremacy is a disrespectful system

This week I am joined by Trenelle Doyle of The Wretch and the Righteous Podcast. Trenelle is a self-proclaimed Beyhive member and she was a perfect fit for the topic at hand. Grace Cathedral Church in San Francisco held a church service built around the music and theology of Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter. They say they wanted to create a space for liberation for women of color... We also recapped episode 65, Don't Fuss, don't fight, don't flee. I hope you enjoy!

Neely Fuller Jr. said, "If you do not understand White Supremacy (Racism) - what it is, and how it works - everything else that you understand will confuse you. When dealing with law enforcement, as black folks in America, we know there are some suspected racists on the force, and they have little patience when it comes to us. The end goal in any law enforcement interaction should be this, to get home to our family. There's nothing to fight for, nothing that can be proved in the moment. Just take the most constructive course of action that puts you in position to walk away without being harmed and/or detained. In some cases there is no avoiding those outcomes, but we still must obviously do our best to avoid jail and bodily harm.

In this weeks episode I decided to share knowledge that I have been reading from a book that has changed my life for the better. The United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept by Neely Fuller Jr. clearly defines white supremacy(which is synonymous with racism)and how it affects every area of activity (Education, Economics, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex, War/Counter-War). President Trump used a classic white supremacist way of speaking in reference to immigrants in a recent press conference. The 45 second clip that I use gives context to one of the many scenarios written in Neely Fuller's book, and I compare and contrast the two messages... Rock with me on this educational monologue style of episode!

According to Kanye West, "you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years? That sounds like a choice!" In this episode I dig into an extended clip of the TMZ conversation that Kanye had in their office. This clip gives a greater revelation of the source of Kanye's "free thinking." The thoughts that he is thinking and the information that he is sharing is not as original as it is portrayed. This episode gives credence to the impact that Candace Owens has on this new "free thinking," Trump loving, MAGA hat wearing Kanye that we are experiencing. #PrayforKanye

In this episode Tony Funchess dive into the tweets of Kanye West, and before I go any further, #PrayforKanye first and foremost... Kanye has expressed love for Donald Trump and expressed that they are essentially kindred spirits. Kanye reacted negatively to a cautionary text message sent in love, and blasted his friend on Twitter, as to make his friend (John Legend) out to be the bad guy... Also, we dive into the 2nd verse of J Cole’s “Brackets” from his new KOD album. And when I say dive into, I mean every bar!!!
