Yep, that is the title of the KRS ONE song from 1993. This thing continues to be our reality and so we need to process it. We are talking the Makiah Bryant incident, defunding the police, congress dragging their feet on police reform, and even how people are blaming black parents for raising criminal kids that end up getting themselves shot. It's the fault of the black community that they get shot so much...isn't it obvious! (eye roll.) So settle in cuz we talkin' bout it fosho fosho in this episode.

So we are continuing our discussion on the recent resurgence of Asian hate crimes in the U.S. This conversation is going to be a million times better than our first one because we have our awesome sister Diane Ujiiye! She brings us a reflective and educational first-hand account of the Asian American experience, gives us history and helpful tips on how to get our acts together, and be about progress and unity! In other words...she takes us to school, in a kind and gracious way of course. 

She also provided us with these great resources. Please check them out, keep yourself educated and informed. Together we can work towards a safer global community. This is not optional...Asian hate must stop! Let's do our part ya'll.

With the Chauvin case, Daunte Wright murder, and the general climate of politics, race, and society, I take offer a suggestion inspired by the sentiment of 20th-century urban philosopher Ice Cube... "we gots to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves...cuz bad vibez in  our life is bad for our health" Oh we gonna talk about it! Grab your popcorn, your unfolded laundry, strap on those dishwashing gloves, or begin that commute! Settle in to enjoy this convo on interconnectedness. 

Yep That's right we did use that Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake song title. We really wanna know. Where is it? We are Christians and on a serious tip, why don't people think of Christians as more kind and loving. The people who should be leading with love are often thought of as the most uptight, judgemental, non-loving bunch on the planet. We gotta change that...I say...we gotta change that! Join us as we start diggin' in and working on this. Oh, we gonna talk about it!

If you read the title you probably already know where we are coming from. We are talking about a racism issue that is coming to the forefront and that is violence against our brothers and sisters of Asian communities throughout America. We talk about the harmful rhetoric and thinking that continues to plague society. This is the first part of the discussion...some opening reflections. So jump on in and process with your boys!
