Through research, data and shade, The Black Codes aims to look at the present state of America through an often overlooked lens, her actual/factual relationship with her Black citizens.

    We the Jury

    A few weeks ago, at the beginning of the Derek Chauvin trial we had no idea what would happen, but honestly did not have our hopes high. This led to a question, why were our hopes so low? How do these clear murderers continue to get off? How is this happening? For the people at large, an often overlooked group holds the weight for many in their hands. The jury. But, like with all things in this country, there have been legal and unwritten parameters around who can and cannot sit for jury. This week we do a mini dive into what a juror is (15:20) and the current jury qualifications (17:15). We discuss a few monumental cases and unpack the insane belief that only whites can be color blind in a court of law. Yes, you read the right.

    1 Drop, 2 Drops, 4 Drops, 8 Drops

    Another back episode we tackle the One Drop Rule. Colorism is real, a product of divide and conquer. This episode we get into it a little and other things such as Michelle Obama being president, Cherokee ancestry getting children expelled from school, Plessy v Ferguson and Rosa Parks.

    The Sell Out?

    In late February the Raymond A Wood letter that was released. In fact is was the day before the anniversary of Malcolm X’s assassination. Wood was a black ex cop who, after his passing dropped a letter confessing his involvement in the assassination of Malcolm X. This back episode we give our thoughts on the letter, why a young black man in the 60s would join the NYPD, self preservation, and how not everyone is really 10 toes down. Naturally, we close out the episode with a Tupac vs Biggie convo.

    The Blacks are Here pt 2

    While black history month is all year long around here, we close out the national black history educational season with a look at black centered/focused organizations. Like the month itself, these organizations do not just spring out of nowhere, for no purpose and no reason. They are in fact a direct result of being stiff armed and excluded. Donald leads this one opening with a conversation about realizations nearing thirty and a treehouse (4:20). We move into the inspiration for and rise of popular black centered orgs such as HBCU’s, Black business districts, National Black Caucus and the like (6:40). Donald highlights Tulsa’s Greenwood District (19:05), the creation of Black student orgs on college campuses (31:40) and Black Girls Code (40:56) to drive the point home. And if you did not know about the latter group, we highly suggest you check them out https://www.blackgirlscode.com

    The Blacks are Here

    History is crucial to understanding a society and culture at large. In these here United States, Black Americans have had a direct influence on America since its foundation. The impact, infrastructure, and culture...the threads of what make a nation a nation include and are quite literally built on black backs.  However, the unquestionable impact we have had is often overlooked, brushed to the side and or straight ignored. Better late than never, we spend this episode focusing on the importance and celebration of black history and Black History Month. Donald opens with his decision to start tweeting again and has some choice words for people who run around without phone cases (1:20). We also share a very, very big announcement (11:11). Getting into the heart of the episode we talk Carter G Woodson (17:00) and break down the creation, reason and need for Black History Month (24:20). Savannah clues us in on what the best selling book/movie “Gone With the Wind” is truly about (40:25) which leaves Donald baffled. We close this episode with a question many (white and black alike) have pondered “is full integration truly possible” (57:30).

    Always Present, Always Threatening

    Trump may be out of here, but his band of terroristic misfits surely are not. Which led us to think about how so many people were shocked and surprised that this level of ignorance, hatred, fear and confidence existed. We of course, were not surprised at all. This week we talk about Americas long standing history with white domestic terrorism. We get into its always present energy (16:50), how that energy allows for 4,084 *recorded southern lynchings to occur in a 3,792 week period (35:00) and its recent/worrying trend upward (45:00). Donald shares some core tenants of these terrorist groups (53:45) so you can keep your eye out and we have some words for a select group of men (1:06:50).

    The American "Whitelash"

    Lol at thinking just because 2020 was ending so would the b******t. Top of the year and we got a full on insurrection. A damn COUP! If you’re anything like us, you’re still taking it in trying to unpack what the hell just happened. In learning, we stumbled upon "Whitelash" (11:30) which is essentially white backlash to black progress. Yes there’s a name for it and it’s a real thing. This week we get into what it looks like (14:45), some of the causes (23:30) and the jig being up (47:50). We also take a quick break to talk about Japanese whiskey (29:20), Savannah’s thoughts on traveling back in time (36:30) and Donald breaks some harsh but necessary news (37:15).
