    Love this podcast! ♥️💚🖤 Tooblack and the crew always spit nothing but truth and it shows you all take your time learning each topic. And the guests are always super informed and have so many different perspectives. Really love this and use it as a resource for my continuous black studies. I'm in DC and think a live filming of the podcast could be dope at Sankofa cafe. Wishing nothing but the best for the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Myth: All Marxisms are Created Equal (w/ Gabriel Rockhill)
Q: How do you define Marxism in the simplest possible terms?
Marxism is the most developed collective science of liberation from capitalism, a living tradition aimed at practically transforming reality and aligning human activity with ecological and social harmony.
Myth: America First w/ Kim Miller
Q: In your opinion, is this, so is this a betrayal of America First?
America First is such an amorphous slogan, and the way it's been deployed throughout US political history means it's not surprising that Trump would still be incredibly pro-Israel.
Myth: America First w/ Kim Miller
Q: What was your initial impression of America First when you originally heard the term?
I first heard America First with the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, and immediately it rang as a dog whistle to me because his campaign was particularly vitriolic toward Mexican migrants.
Myth: Poor Caribbean Savages Pt. 2 (w/ Austin Cole & Erica Caines)
Q: What are some of the connections between repressions Africans face in the Caribbean and here in the US?
The issues facing Africans in the Caribbean resonate similarly with those faced in the US, indicating a shared struggle against white supremacy and colonial frameworks that oppress both communities.
Myth: Easier to Organize Under Democrats Pt. 2 (w/ Max Rameau)
Q: How can dual power be built?
Building dual power requires organizing communities, establishing clear ideological goals, and providing logistical support for the delivery of services that meet material needs effectively.
