Inequality Will Not Stand

important info ~ previously & most likely unheard by many who would benefit this country ~ its laws & all of its people greatly ~ very well presented ~ Hopeful & Possible ~ 1st We Must Each Vote to Remove Senators & Representatives Who Vote Against the Represent that Actually Represent us & our real needs & issues... & who will ~ of course ~ level the political playing field by removing the fillabuster, gerrymandering, removing Supreme Court Judges who lied during confirmation or were installed by presidents who won despite of the Popular Vote, capping campaign finance, removing companies from the people list & by codifying Equal Voting Rights.

Great introduction to topics

Please listen to this podcast with an open mind and heart before making judgements about it or getting defensive. This work is a great starting place for people who need help finding resources written by people of color and people of the LGBTQ+ community as well as an excellent source to improve your empathy and understanding of historic and present day issues that can be challenging to talk about.

Narrative causality

I thought 8 people died in Atlanta, but I guess the other 2 don’t fit the narrative so they get white washed from the story.

Feels like he is priming our culture for a race war

The vitriol slung around, smearing white people as if they are a homogenous group feels really irresponsible and dangerous. We don’t need more division. You don’t solve racism with more racism. Stop it. This is evil.
Good production quality though.
