  1. Debunking Christian Nationalism w/ Andrew Seidel

    Debunking Christian Nationalism w/ Andrew Seidel

    “As we recognize that humans are human, and worthy of human rights, conservative white america is dying this slow demographic death and rebelling.” Why is it that the exact arguments used against trans people and DEI were being used in defense of slavery in pre emancipation America? I reached out to Andrew Seidel to discuss this patter because he wrote about and debunked all these arguments in his book The Founding Myth: How Christian Nationalism is Unamerican. (Linked at bookshop.org, not the rainforest oligarch's store.) We talk about how, despite the debunking, authoritarian thinkers keep clinging to biblical literalism to justify withholding human rights. Andrew works for Americans United, and I strongly recommend you check out their incredible work.

    Skills for Building Resilience w/ Andre Henry! 💥

    CW ⚠️: this episode contains references to suicide and diets. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis in the US or Canada you can dial 988 to get support. Fan fave Andre Henry is back to talk about the practice of building resilience in the context of supremacist culture. Honestly, this conversation had me tearing up in places, and yet left me completely inspired and grounded. As you probably already know, I'm so grateful for Andre's work. You can find Andre's book at Bookshop.org (and by doing so, support local bookstores instead of the jungle name corp) You can find Andre's music on all the music players, here's a link to his Spotify. The Greater Good Toolkit that Andre references can be found HERE. The books Andre mentions in this episode are Living While Black by Ajuan Mance Black Fatigue by Mary-Frances Winters Resilient by Rick Hanson ⁠White Homework on IG⁠ ⁠Tori on BlueSky⁠ ⁠Support the show⁠ ⁠Free Antiracism Tools⁠ ⁠Tori's Substack

  3. Evangelical Racism Keeps Repeating 🔂 w/ Corey Leak

    Evangelical Racism Keeps Repeating 🔂 w/ Corey Leak

    Why is it that the same arguments used to defend slavery are being used to dehumanize trans people? Why is it that there's no way for most white evangelicals to separate their faith and their nationalism? Why is the Constitution conflated with the Bible? Corey and Tori try to disentangle Christianity from Americanism You can find Corey on IG: @existentialpodcast Existential Podcast ⁠White Homework on IG⁠ ⁠Tori on BlueSky⁠ ⁠Support the show ⁠Free Antiracism Tools⁠ ⁠Tori's Substack

    Debunking That One Prager Meme w/ Benjamin Faye

    Today we are taking a crack at ye olde Prager "University" meme about the first Black US representatives, which correctly points out that they were all Republicans and incorrectly implies that their party affiliation mattered for much, then or now. Turns out, they were woke too! Don't tell Dennis!

    Mary Richards Bowser w/ Janice Lagata

    I've been wanting to try a new format for the show for a while so I took a stab at it this week with Janice Lagata of God Has Not Given. We talk about the fascinating true story of Mary Richards Bowser, a Union spy who was also enslaved. I would LOVE to know what you think about this format, mainly because if you all hate it, I don't want to keep trying to make it happen! 😆  Sign up for Janice's email list HERE.

    Resilience Isn't An Unlimited Resource with Benjamin Faye

    Benjamin Faye joins the show to talk about how grit and resilience mean different things depending on your position in society. Resilience isn't an unlimited resource. The science and experience tell us that is an impossible demand to make on people, doubly so for those who do not have their basic needs met.

    Black & Homeschooled with Jessica Dulaney

    This episode I'm talking to Jessica Dulaney  who is the communications director for the Coalition for Responsible Home Education. Being Black and homeschooled felt incredibly isolating to me. Growing up, I never once met another Black child who was being homeschooled that I wasn't biologically related to, so being able to connect with Jessica online has been amazing. Protecting kids is something I'm deeply passionate about. Given the huge rise in homeschooling during the pandemic, and the fact that children in this country do not have a right to an education, I wanted to discuss the (mostly racist) history of homeschooling, and the ways Black and queer families are taking up more space in 2022. You can check out the thread I wrote about that history HERE. You can check out CRHE online HERE CRHE Twitter can be found HERE Jessica's Twitter can be found HERE Work with me! Twitter Insta

    Who Gets To Define Violence?

    Personal and political violence are nothing new but examining who is allowed to engage in violence and who isn't is essential to understanding the power dynamics we've built the world on. "They do it so we should to" is colonizer logic and I think we can do better than that when it comes to race, racism, and understanding why people feel threatened by the prospect of losing power.  Join PAY THE RENT CLUB Work with me Twitter Insta
