Hey Party Crashers -

No hi-jinx.  No humor.  Just talking about the impact of three numbers on the lives of nonwhite people in America with the backdrop of the show's mood at the moment.  Thank you for listening to this episode which is part lament, part podcast therapy.   Looking forward to coming back on Sunday and then again on Wednesday for a special post-election show.

Songs used in this episode:

"It Ain't Fair" - The Roots feat. Bilal (check out the Roots 'Tiny Desk' show to see and amazing performance of this song.)

"Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler) - Marvin Gaye

"Year of Tha Boomerang" - Rage Against the Machine

"Root Down (Free Zone Remix) - Beastie Boys

Peace Out,

Jerry
