When it comes to political talk, lots of people on the left spend time discussing Black, women and Latinx voters, without ever actually having people from those backgrounds on their show. The Base is a political show hosted by the same people Democrats always tell to vote, but never actually listen to. If you want your political talk from non-White guys, come join The Base.

Take Care of Your Mental

In the wake of the Derek Chauvin murder conviction, and more and more state sanctioned murders of innocent Black and Brown people, we stop to discuss our reaction to a police officer finally being held accountable, the painstaking consistency of police violence in America, and how we can work to ensure our mental health is prioritized.

Which Came First - Toxic Masculinity or Racism?

The attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was a pivotal moment in U.S. history unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon. And while some in our government call for “healing” and “unity”, others are focused on trying to clean out the wound first. Which bears the question – which do you grapple first, toxic masculinity or racism? Show References and Links Fred’s not the only one that thinks it’s more about racism than toxic masculinity, as Vox explores the ever present role women have played in upholding White supremacy The women’s suffrage movement started with inklings of a progressive fight with BIPOC’s, but then White women decided it was more advantageous to focus on their rights now, the others later Black women were written out of the suffrage movement If you’re a high school teacher looking for a foundation for which to build a lesson plan around this topic, this may be of help Not a reader? No problem. PBS and American Experience have an amazing documentary on this topic. Watch it.

Defund the Police in Relation to Electoral Politics

At the end of the day, I do not believe it to be the job of activists to complete polling and change institutional language. Rather, if defund the police is a nuanced term that will struggle to shed ambiguity and complexity among a sizeable portion of the electorate (which I believe it will) then it's up to establishment Democrats to spend money figuring out what the popular electoral lexicon should be – not the other way around. We explore this conversation in-depth on this week's episode of The Base. Fred's got a new book out, and it's poetry!
