The Moral Minority Show Josh Luckett and Kennedy Curley

Racism has been a long standing issue in the American context. Healthy but at times trite solutions have been given to create common language that can be used and understood by the masses. Racism equals prejudice plus power has been a main stay definition for many activist and advocates for justice on the lay level. In this episode I attempt to use more sophisticated language that may help broaden understanding on the issue and potentially create kinder engagement for us as a society.

A myth of fascism is that cities are the epicenter of depravity and a social contagion that rural areas are trying to hold off in order to save our country. This becomes very prevalent in a world where many right wing pundits and even politicians have embraced ideas of fascism. With many citing their apprehensive views towards cities with the Bible it may be helpful to debunk the notion that the Bible hates both ancient and modern cities. On this episode Josh seeks to do just that.

The U.S. supreme court recently voted that Texas can not block federal border agents from cutting their new razor wiring along the Texas border. Texas has since defied the court ruling and with backing from the vast majority of the GOP this situation seems like a mixture of a political stunt and a volatile situation. Here is Josh's brief response that hopefully brings clarity and nuance to this seemingly unhinged dilemma.

On this episode I discuss Taylor Swift's massive push for her millions of adoring fans to be registered to vote. With the 2024 election nearly a calendar year away it feels more pressing than ever to discuss why voting is essential to maintaining democracy and how we should think about voting moving forward.

Josh here,

Hello and welcome to the moral minority show. On this episode I’m going to do something I’ve been wanting to do for some time now. The show has historically featured more long form conversation with guest so I wanted to make a concise side series that entails many of my thoughts on politics, theology, and societal trends. The goal of this segment is simply to be an even more accessible resource for those who share similar interest and or desire to engage more deeply with these topics. Hope this is a welcomed and well received new aspect of our show.

Liberalism seemed to be a great response to monarchy and class hierarchy leading up to the 18th century. It created more autonomy and individual rights based on law. Cole Niles joins us to discuss if perhaps we can find a more collective and creative way go assure human dignity and an organized society.
