    Great conversation a little over simplified but very informative. The classification of the natives were changed with laws. Thus changing them to negros and to keep the classification of native you had to pay. That’s where the term $5 Indian comes into play they paid to be called natives. When the laws and predatory practices that’s how we were wiped from the history

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 87 | Too Big To Rig feat. Kevin Ortega-Rojas (@hereswhykevin)
Q: What is your expectation when we wake up in the morning? What do you anticipate and expect the conversation to be?
Ortega-Rojas predicts Democrats will regain the House, potentially by a considerable margin, while he is less confident they will win the Senate. He urges people to vote early, verify mail-in ballot rules and encourage others to turn out.
Ep. 87 | Too Big To Rig feat. Kevin Ortega-Rojas (@hereswhykevin)
Q: What are you seeing with the push of these conversations, the stories, or the lack?
Ortega-Rojas says immigration stories receive limited coverage because news organizations dedicate too few resources, while reporting is logistically difficult. He describes local residents tracking ICE activity and journalists working to verify and report what they witness.
Selective Ignorance: Ep. 86 | Ban Dogs, Ban Laws, Ban Freedom Of Speech Feat. Deante Kyle
Q: Can a system built around private profit also produce collective liberation?
The hosts distinguish earning money through commerce from capitalism as a system of accumulation and individualism. They discuss personal financial stability, collective support, and why Black Americans' aggregate spending figure does not necessarily represent disposable wealth.
Selective Ignorance: Ep. 86 | Ban Dogs, Ban Laws, Ban Freedom Of Speech Feat. Deante Kyle
Q: Is it good for the community when Black Americans join law enforcement, and can policing be changed from within?
The panel debates whether participation can improve the system, with several speakers arguing that policing is structurally violent and cannot be meaningfully reformed from within. Others compare that position with supporting Black politicians working inside a flawed political system.
Selective Ignorance: Ep. 82 | Rollin', Robots & Raggedy Robert feat. Akeem Ali
Q: What are your thoughts on the Converse controversy and the marketing implications?
The panel explores how brands intentionally trigger emotional reactions to capture attention, recognizing that such tactics can both help visibility and alienate core audiences depending on context and representation.
