  1. The Pitfalls of Liberalism

    2d ago

    The Pitfalls of Liberalism

    The underlying theme of this season of Revolutionary Baddies is to articulate what makes a revolution. This analysis must include what destroys a revolution. Liberalism is the ideology that carries history of negotiating, obliging, coddling, pacifying, and coercing with imperialism. Liberalism is also the default political ideology of most Black people in this country. This essay, “The Pitfalls of Liberalism” by Kwame Ture was written in 1969 and carries lessons for all of us today. Building organization and unity towards freedom becomes impossible with liberalism unchecked. In the episode, Brittany and Dee Dee provide a relevant discussion of the ways we see liberalism play out today and how we can combat it.  Question for our listeners: How are you combatting liberalism?

  2. "Give Light and People Will Find the Way" -Ella Baker

    May 20

    "Give Light and People Will Find the Way" -Ella Baker

    As Ella Baker gave her class valedictorian speech at Shaw University, she left these words and these words led her life. Arguably, one of the most effective and committed grassroots organizer of the 20th century. Ella Baker was an architect behind the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and a leader that believed in the power of everyday people doing extraordinary things. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies attempt to capture this hero and how she navigated the decades of powerful change. From her time as a student at Shaw University, the oldest HBCU in the South, to her founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Mrs. Baker brought tenacity, resilience, clarity, and resourcefulness to her vision of freedom. Her life and legacy deserves celebration, study, and praise. Hope you enjoy!

  3. FREE THEM ALL and Other Abolitionist Thoughts

    FREE THEM ALL and Other Abolitionist Thoughts

    First things first. Free All Political Prisoners!! Secondly, this episode grants permission for all of us to dream and vision a world beyond policing and prisons. Prisons are American history, and we are yet to a place to recognize and dismantle that reality. Revolutionary Baddies hold a discussion surrounding the many many ways our capitalist determines who is punished and who are not. Through the decades of brainwashing propaganda regarding the benefits of police and prisons, combined with the capitalist opportunities of the private prison industry, plus our malapportioned government system has led to a recipe of injustice. Slavery still exists legally in the United States- which means our society should know and learn more about the many ways slavery still exists. At the same time, prison abolition is about visioning and implementing new systems and institutions that prioritize humanity. We deserve so much more.

  5. My Body, My Choice? Domestic Violence and Reproductive Justice

    Apr 29

    My Body, My Choice? Domestic Violence and Reproductive Justice

    TRIGGER WARNING. Over the past couple of months, there have been several alarming and saddening cases of Black women being murdered by their husbands, fiances, boyfriends, and exes. We cannot shy away from uplifting the names and stories of these Black women and how pervasive  and insidious patriarchal violence is. In order to see a revolution forward, we must address how patriarchy suffocates the Black community and our society at large. That discussion leads to an intentional discussion regarding reproductive justice. Reproductive Justice(RJ) is a framework developed by Black women and strengthened by Black Queer people over time. It is a framework that goes beyond reproductive rights and pro-choice. RJ covers all of those things plus the principle of having safe and sustainable communities. Having safe and sustainable communities guarantees a better future for our children and everyone else. Reproductive Justice is not just a “women’s issue” it is a guide for a more equitable future. Patriarchy is antithetical to all justice. This episode is dedicated to Dr. Cerina Fairfax, Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, Pastor Tammy McCollum, Qualeshia “Saditty” Barnes, Ashlee Jenae, Davonte Curtis, Ashanti Allen, Victoria Alexander, Gabryel Ayers, Raven Edwards, Teonia Stokes, Gladys Johnson, Daneshia Heller, Imani Dia Smith, Bianca Huntley, and Barbara Deer.

  6. Viva La Earth

    Apr 22

    Viva La Earth

    This planet is all we have yall. Revolutionary Baddies covers a lively discussion on the damages of capitalism on this Earth and how we need to resist. In order for any opportunity of revolution to be realized, we must take our relationship to the land seriously. Brittany and Dee Dee draw the connection of land to the necessity of wellness. Wellness is not an individual process but a North Star for the community. This means understanding our food systems, lineage of farming and gardening, medical and health systems, and land development. This country is too rich for food deserts, and yet so many of us have grown to understand food desserts as part of the fabric of the US. We are not promoters of the Make America Healthy Again right-wing, traditionalist, capitalist movement. We are promoters of a human society that values wellness for the sake of the struggle for freedom. Questions for our listeners: What are some wellness practices we can do on an individual level?

  7. Audre Taught Us

    Audre Taught Us

    Audre Lorde left this world with an incredible gift of honesty, hope, and some deliberate lessons of the 1960s. More of our lessons of navigating patriarchy and capitalism needs to root in the very real and evil decisions of a few. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies breaks down Lorde’s reflective and sobering essay, “Lessons from the 60s”, which explores the complexity of a time of great resistance, great progress, and huge contradictions. “As Black people, if there is one thing we can learn from the 60’s it is how infinitely complex any move towards liberation must be.” The complexities of capitalism, self-reliance, colorism, homophobia, liberalism, and the psychology of survival are all present in the struggle for liberation. Hopefully you leave this episode with more questions than answers and more space for holding the contradictions. Thank you in advance. “I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.” -Audre Lorde Question for our listeners Who would you be if you were free? Links for the show: Season 2.

    Say It Loud!

    What would this world be without Black Culture? Music, writing, films, fashion, language, archive, photography, architecture, inventions, dance, film, theater, cuisine, you name it! In every corner of this world, you can find Black influence on culture. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies dream and discuss how the world currently tries to villianize and erase Blackness while embracing and harvesting our culture. This episode highlights the understanding of how important Black people are to this world because of our audacity to create, recreate, invent, uncover, build, and overcome with love. Black people are constantly giving this world our best, and if we could rid ourselves of racial capitalism, patriarchy, and imperialism we could give ourselves and this world so much more. Brittany and Dee Dee also call into question why our Black movements are not as directly connected to prominent Black artists of today? And what needs to happen in order to change this?  Questions for our listeners: What are you wearing to the Capitol? What are the many homes you have or the places you consider “Home”? What are the parts of the culture that are not mainstream but you love and wanna keep alive? Links for the Show: Season 2.
