In a post-civil rights era, how much do ideological labels actually matter when it comes to the black electorate? Are black liberals actually liberals when it comes to policy and our voting preferences? Or does the black electorate believe itself to be pragmatists? We voted for DLC/New Democrat Bill Clinton overwhelmingly. The DLC was conservative (a huge turnoff for black voters), but Clinton was an establishment Democrat (a huge hardon for black voters). Secondly, we still trust the black (mis)leadership class - even though we recognize they are misleading us - when voting. Thirdly, we still believe that visibility politics is representational. Fourthly, we will always vote for the lesser of two evils.

Really important... need to take this in very slowly...

Networking and coordinating local mutual aid programs is something that needs to be done, certainly. But in and of itself, this will not lead to an anti-capitalist revolution. There also needs to be a lot of agitation and education around what the common source of the problems we face is -- and building a higher level of consciousness and political unity on that basis.

Such fantastic work! Thankyou so much for your humanity!

Of exceptional rare courage and morality the people of PA. Deep, deep respect for them.

Jared is so sweet and funny for this outfit

Kali sounds like the vanguard we need. Thank you comerade for everything you do and are trying to do!

This, all of this! Sharing all around.

Sad to see KaliAkuno run covwe for Zionist China.

As a prosecutor, Harris sent thousands of black women, many with untreated mental illness, many for nonviolent drug possession, to prison. Her policies jailed the black mother of a child with sickle cell anemia. The mother was charged with promoting "truancy" when the girl was missing school due to her chronic, deadly illness.

Fluck you Millennials, I have been waiting for this since the last Ice Age. I have fist dibbs on the guillotine. SOCIALISZED INSANITY I am a transistorized, transgenderized, transmogrified, trans-human A corporatized, commercialized, industrial strength consumer A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak A social climbing net worker that's always on heat I got my education majoring in indoctrination Where they taught me to comply, to never question why And so I'm chasing an illusion of success that's a delusion That's sending me insane, exploding my brain And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial

Fantastic discussion! Shout out to Em Cohen as well. She’s the best

ua-cam.com/video/OqA65hAe1YU/v-deo.html stuff has been going on soo soo soo long I mean to give an idea why we are doing jack chit in the states over the genocide.. <-- its just how the country is sick chit sick chit.

Kali's correct: We have more to worry about if Harris and the DP wins the presidency, than if they lose. The MAGA fascists will not accept defeat.

🖤🖤🔥🖤🖤 fantastic! 🔥🔥

Shout out to y’all great conversation

This brother's views are always indispensable.

I am a student and Kali Akuno is my professor 🙏🏽 Seriously, I am activated! Thank you both for this incredible and necessary conversation. Special shoutout for keeping disability justice in the conversation 👏🏽 Too often our movements don't even consider our disabled comrades 😢 Looking forward to the reading list 📚

Wonderful episode. Kali is always on point.

Dr. Lara explains a very key thing about the presence of hatred, on both sides of conflict - and the seeds of future war, as much as the current one. Many thanks. best wishes from Valencia Spain.

great show and always great guess

Thank you! I really appreciate you guys putting my thoughts and sentiments into words.

I'm midway into Kaleem's article and already I feel it is truly beautiful and clarity-inspiring. Producing this kind of work is incredibly important, and equally important to distribute and disseminate it to wider audience. Movements absolutely need robust mechnisms for political education and cultural production. Thank you Jared & all people behind MAKC for doing this work.

Does anyone have a link to the Fromm essay from 1942 Dr. Sheehi mentioned? A search only returns results about 'Escape from Freedom' (a key work in its own right).

Seriously useful conversation. I would like only to add that I believe even truly radical and righteous academics are not quite seeing universities for what they are and have always been throughout the modern era . 1. Land grabs. 2. Local mandarins. 3. Massagers of middle class opinion in the interests of developers and the upper class generally. 3. Holding pens for dissent, a place to capture, keep and eye on, and discipline movement intellectuals, who live on a share of the endowments, ranging from very meager to very generous. 4. Workshops for propaganda, on behalf of corporations and imperialists. 5. In certain cases simply large hedge funds. 6. Centrally, reproducers and sustainers of the class system, through both direct gatekeeping and also the strategic recruitment of new (ideologically obedient) talent.

yeah right on. I am not gonna stop hating ecocide and g*cide and land theft and colonial violence and "spiritual" lies about my vulnerable divergent family with a target on our backs, unable to safely travel and live and work and get health care in half of our own country. Not gonna stop hating all that. I am gonna love the crap out of the people fighting it with me, and love the crap out of the suffering earth and the brutalized people.

I’m so glad I came across this conversation. Y’all are brilliant.

OMG thank you so much for this episode! I love all your episodes; while I have learned a lot from all the previous episodes, this one had a one very striking point where I was fully hitting a wall with hippies in festival community in occupied 'australia' claiming they are anti-zionist and refusing to take known hasbarists off their headline. while alarming, I am glad that its something of a phenomenon because for a second there I thought I was going crazy with the level of cognitive dissonance which is saying a lot given the psychopathology in that community already.

53:00 Yemeni support for Palestine is real. Imagine arguring in the late 1970’s and 1980’s that support for Afghanistan was illegitimate because Afghans resisting the Soviet Union were insufficiently righteous!

Thank you both

I already watched it on Black Liberation Media (2x) but I'm watching it here as well, for the algorithm. This was a very necessary conversation. And honestly, I feel like I'm picking up new things, every single time I listen. ✊🏾

🔥🙌🏽❤

Was the original stream taken down? Incredible work as always 😎

Hiram promised it but we didn't need him to.

Ok i know this is superficial and unrelated to the topic at hand but i am obsessed with how lara does her hair. It's so majestic! Loving this convo so far as always <3

✊🏾✌🏾comrade

Man,what an incredible conversation! Thanks so much comrades!

Needed this! Thank you Dr. Lara and Jared 🙏🏽 From the river to the sea Palestine 🇵🇸 will be Free ✊🏽

Another amazing and nourishing conversation!! Thank you Jared & Lara! When I was in the military, I attended a training course where the actual repeated mantra by instructors and leadership was, "hate & anger." It can be a very powerful and sustaining (idk how long-term) energy. Adrenaline is another, although having high cortisol levels long-term is devastating to physiology. "The worst thing we can do is hate" mentality reminds me of those who complain about "verbal obscenity" whilst genocide is ongoing; focusing on "politeness/manners," like wtf? What's more offensive? Righteous hate, resolved internally, may be sustainable long-term. Undergirded with revolutionary love...

Glad to see Too Black is doing the work out here. Miss you being on RBN brotha.✊

Great interview. On point.

🔥🔥🔥

I looked up Too Black's article title on Google and got a big warning about the results not being trusted sources. Gotta love it 😆
