Episode Synopsis

🇺🇸 “You can’t fix what you won’t face.”  - James BaldwinIn this week’s episode, we expose the carefully curated illusion of racial progress in the United States. Jeffery unpacks the historical scaffolding of oppression dressed up as liberty, from Reconstruction betrayals and redlining to mass incarceration and performative politics in 2025. Meanwhile, Christian expands the lens northward, breaking down the Canadian myth of multiculturalism and the unspoken violence behind polite society.🧠 This episode is layered with poetry, policy, and personal truth. We name the backlash that always follows Black progress. We critique bipartisan complicity. And we call out how both nations sell “equity” while legislating inequality.🎧 Tune in to hear how the past lives in the present and why the post-racial fantasy is not just a myth, but a dangerous one.✊🏾 Because truth-telling is a radical act, and history doesn’t erase itself.📅 Join us again on July 26th for the next drop🎤 And as always, keep the conversation going.
