I just saw this video and figured it would be a good talking point for the show and the thought warriors. Me personally? I wouldn’t be able to do it.
Anyone know if they’ve addressed why they are not talking about this? I know it’s still on going, but are there other reasons?
Opens with the classic, “I was raised by black women… my daughters are black” defense 🙄🤦🏾♂️

No shade to the podcasts chosen on the list, but it's kind of inexcusable to have a list like this with the podcasts represented and not have Higher Learning. What could be shaping the conversation more than addressing the issues of voting rights, having people on to discuss the situation in the Middle East, A.I. and issues relevant to A.I. and anything else that impacts Black folks.
They've had Gavin Newsome, Ilhan Omar, James Talarico, Chris Murphy, Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore, Ro Khanna and this is saying nothing of the dozens and dozens of directors, writers, actors and creators.
I don't see another podcast doing NEARLY as much to bring issues to the conversation (at least not on this list.). If this list was Symone Sanders, Joy Martin or Roland Martin, I'm totally fine either them being left off. But even THOSE shows haven't had the level of guests on that these two young people have managed to bring on.
This kind of shows the relevance of a once great Johnson publication.
Good conversation. I enjoyed listening. They talk a little about everything.
April 15, 2027 Federal Taxes on hold but pay your state taxes
Muslims especially Palestinian- why you paying?
Mexican and South American - why you paying?
Black people - we shouldn’t have been paying
Indigenous people - shouldn’t have been paying either
White women and poor whites - ya’ll are being played
A war that shouldn’t been. And providing a shell to Israel to extinct a whole group. There’s Africa - 🇸🇩 and Ebola. And then, over here we measles, whooping cough and exploding diarrhea. A constant loop insanity.
Shout out to Van and the Midnight Boys for their latest feature in Vanity Fair. Such a great pod…
The timestamps are always off if you listen with ads and it’s really annoying. I listen in the car so if I click on the timestamp it’s inconvenient to have to try to find where the topic starts when I’m in the car. I appreciate the producers for their hard work, but it seems like this is a simple fix!
