OmanyteJackson posted:Any good podcast recommendations? I don't know how I feel about NPR Politics being the blackest podcast in my feed. More film/entertainment related (albeit from a black perspective), but Black On Black Cinema was recently recommended either in here or the Misogynoir thread, I've only heard a few episodes but I like it a lot, and I'll always put out a good word for Aisha Tyler's Girl on Guy.

2 Dope Queens is pretty great. Their guests can be a little uneven though, thanks to the nature of comedy and comics. It's a pretty diverse guest list, though. Lots of POC and LGBTQ comics.

Hey thread, I just wanted to recommend the Netflix series The Evolution of Hip Hop. Its a documentary series about the origins of hip hop in New York. I'm only on episode 2 but really enjoying it and learning a lot.

Code Switch and Bodega Boys were already posted but if you're interested in sometimes light-and-airy and sometimes serious podcast about black pop culture and life as a black person in a major urban center, I recommend The Read.

I was thrown off during the intro when the host said something like "this story has never been told" as if there wasn't just a dramatized version of it 3 months ago on Netflix. But then Dead Prez came in for the intro music and I decided to give it a chance. Edit: The production is great & the archival footage is pretty loving amazing. I don't think anybody has stuck with an aesthetic nearly as good as Fab 5 Freddy. Nor has anybody committed to manspreading like Melle Mel. highme fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Dec 7, 2016 |

This movie sounds interesting as hell http://www.avclub.com/review/i-am-not-your-negro-turns-abandoned-james-baldwin--246889 I expect it will get even less play than the typical arthouse doc due to the "controversial" title potentially making white people uncomfortable or whatever

The New York Post posted:A decorated US Navy admiral took the time to troll Colin Kaepernick during the 75th Anniversary Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration ceremony on Wednesday — saying those who died on that fateful day “never took a knee and never failed to stand” during the national anthem. This Kaepernick bashing from all directions is really sickening to me. Why is it that no form of protest from black folks against police is valid to so many white guys? I thought his protest was the most visible and peaceful way possible to do it. I love it, and used to think that after the initial "aghast" reaction people had, would get people talking about the issue. But now, it's just used as another thing to blame black folks for.

Harris is of Japanese descent and the government would've had his relatives put into camps 75 years ago. It's remarkable but not surprising how ignorant officials are of U.S. history and civics.

His father was a white sailor stationed in Japan, and his mother was a Japanese citizen in Japan, so let's not get hasty making assumptions about the guy's family just because he's a POC. In other words no, neither of his parents or their relatives would have ended up in US internment camps. e: Harris is still a dumbass.

Of course the speech is going to be a variant of "amerikuh gently caress yah" The remote possibility is that he's been under military code of justice for so long that he's forgotten... but I digress.

Because there was only 2 realistic candidates, and yes, not doing the bare minimum to prevent fascism and open racism as a white person does make you racist, because silence is consent in situations wrt racism. And Kap for as much as his protest, is kind of silly on the topic of voting in that regard, because white people have no problem with destroying themselves economically if it means putting his head on a pike. Ain't no "I'm on the sidelines because no one appealed to my ideological purity" when it comes to fascism. Always bash the fash.

Hitler got below 38% of the vote in the 1932 elections, and yet the western world still loves to tar the entirety of Germany with the stain of his crimes, so I feel it's entirely fair and keeping with western tradition to stain anyone who didn't actively cast a vote for the only candidate that could have kept Darth Cheeto from office with a similar brush.

Hillary crushed CA and not even in anyone's wildest Karl Rovian fantasies was Hillary crushing CA not a foregone conclusion. Colin Kaepernick's vote didn't matter, and neither did the votes of more than 4 million other Californians. Because electoral college.

I was trying to support Negromancer's post above mine and say that I don't feel it's problematic in the least to call white morons who voted third party or just plain didn't vote at all as complicit in the racism wave that got Trump elected. If you didn't vote Hillary, you are poo poo.

He put a gently caress of a lot more of his livelihood at risk than I ever have, and where he lives his vote doesn't count for more than he used it for, so I can't throw stones there. Now people who didn't use their vote for something the way he did or live in a state in question, gently caress em. xthetenth fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Is there something to be said, some weight or sway or influence that K (or better yet Kanye) could have or should have "bashed the fash" as well? While neither of their direct votes would have changed the outcome, their influence arguably could have.

Anyway, the position that third party voters and non-voters are racists seems a bit hard to defend. It seems to predicate on the assumption that Hillary lost because of people voting third party, which itself is p. reductive. It also ignores the many, many legit reasons why people didn't or couldn't vote - voter suppression being one. Not exactly fair to throw them under the bus.

While neither of their direct votes would have changed the outcome, their influence arguably could have. Kanye is in the middle of a literal psychotic break. I'm not holding him responsible unless he keeps peddling that poo poo when he's done with his treatment. That said, he has said some dumb hosed up poo poo and I'm not absolving him him of that. More like saying, dude is mentally ill and needs help, that reportedly he's finally getting. Anything he is saying or has said (arguably since his mom died and he stopped getting treatment for his BPD) should be taken with the same pillar of salt you'd afford to your local corner hobo. It honestly seems like a world of difference between "George Bush doesn't care about black people" Kanye and "I should've voted Trump" Kanye. And I don't just mean those singular statements but also other poo poo he was doing and the music and his other creative output. Koalas March fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Mental health is already stigmatized especially in the black community. Donda straight up said he had BPD. He has rapped about his mental health issues for years. poo poo has been leaking from his hospital so much that they had to send put Emergency emails about HIPPA guidelines. Seriously you are not welcome here.
