  • Treys Table Season 2: Episode 11-State v Lorincz
    As the producer and host of the podcast Trey's Table, I am thrilled to discuss the latest episode which delves into the controversial case of State v Lorincz. This case has been making headlines due to its explicit portrayal of race, racism and the stand your ground law.

    In the podcast, we explore the details of the case and the stand your ground law and its potential for abuse, particularly when it comes to racial bias. Critics argue that the law disproportionately affects people of color and that it gives individuals a license to kill without consequences.

    The podcast also touches on Senator Tim Scott and his campaign for the presidency. Senator Scott is the only Black Republican in the Senate. We discuss his low polling numbers.

    In conclusion, this episode of Trey's Table is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of race, law, and justice. The case of State v Lorincz highlights the need for a critical examination of the stand your ground law and its impact on communities of color. Senator Tim Scott's campaign for the presidency also raises important questions about how we can address systemic racism and work towards a more just society. Tune in to Trey's Table for this thought-provoking discussion.

  • Trey’s Table Season 2: Episode 8: No Dictatorship More Solid
    TreysTable Season 2: Episode 8

    In the latest episode of the TreysTable podcast, host Trey Smith tackles two important topics: the problem of white supremacy in law enforcement and the brilliant new movie Chevalier.

    Smith starts by discussing the long-standing issue of systemic racism in law enforcement. He notes that this problem has been a hot topic in recent years, particularly in the wake of high-profile incidents of police brutality against Black people. Smith emphasizes that the problem of white supremacy in law enforcement is not limited to a few "bad apples," but is a systemic issue that needs to be addressed through sweeping reforms.

    To illustrate his point, Smith cites several examples of police officers who have been caught engaging in racist behavior, such as sharing racist memes on social media or using racist language in their interactions with the public. He also notes that the problem of white supremacy in law enforcement is not limited to individual officers, but is also present in police departments' policies and practices.

    Next, Smith turns his attention to the movie Chevalier, which he describes as a "brilliant" new film. Chevalier tells the story of Joseph Bologne, a Black man who lived in 18th-century France and was a renowned musician, composer, and fencer. Bologne faced discrimination and racism throughout his life, yet he still managed to achieve great things and leave a lasting legacy.

    Smith praises the movie for its powerful message about the resilience and strength of Black people in the face of oppression. He notes that the movie is not only entertaining, but also educational, as it sheds light on an important historical figure who is often overlooked in mainstream history.

    Overall, the latest episode of TreysTable is a thought-provoking and insightful discussion about two important topics: the problem of white supremacy in law enforcement and the inspiring legacy of Joseph Bologne. Smith's analysis is both nuanced and passionate, making for a compelling listen that is sure to spark important conversations about these critical issues.
