22 DEC 2025 · In this episode, I unpack my conflicted thoughts on affirmative action, reparations, and race-conscious policies, using Black land loss as a case study for why this debate resists easy answers.
Tech difficulties delayed us a week, but I hope you'll enjoy the final episode of the year.

8 DEC 2025 · Here’s something you might not realize: Progressives focus on the harms of over-policing, but Black Americans are more worried about under-policing.
While progressives shout “abolish the police,” most Black Americans don’t want that at all. In fact, they overwhelmingly want *more* effective policing, not less.
There's a lot to unpack.

1 DEC 2025 · First I was sure implicit bias explained everything. Then I was sure it explained nothing. These days, though, I'm in more of an awkward in-between.
In this episode, I walk through how I got convinced, de-convinced, and and landed here — still side-eyeing the science on implicit bias, but not ready to write it off completely.

Oh, and here's https://www.thecut.com/2017/01/psychologys-racism-measuring-tool-isnt-up-to-the-job.html I mentioned, and here's my past episode on implicit bias on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/91-a-thorough-debunking-of-the-racial-bias-test-its-a-sham/id1649985239?i=1000636763846 and https://open.spotify.com/episode/0IgsDQhmu83y8vERMkEVMZ?si=O8hqpzPITBaG4zYxlGBdwQ

17 NOV 2025 · The GI Bill fueled America’s prosperity — but for Black families, it deepened inequality. I'll explain the racist design of the GI bill and what its connection is to the racial wealth gap.
Following the money, we can see how a single policy helped shape the economic divide we still live with today.

10 NOV 2025 · Black soldiers have fought in every American war. They have, by their own admission, fought for a country that didn't fight for them.
This Veterans Day, we look at the history of Black military service — and the paradox of Black patriotism.

13 OCT 2025 · This Columbus Day—more aptly, Indigenous Peoples’ Day—we’re talking about the mounting efforts to rewrite American history in real time.
From pushing pro-slavery cartoons into classrooms, to pressuring the Smithsonian polish up and whitewash the past, to scrubbing Harriet Tubman and Jackie Robinson from federal websites.....
There's a lot to unpack.
