It never fails, when some BIPOC commits some sort of crime, the entire group is punished.

Ok, after the Halloween candy rush wears off of winning a couple victories in the voting booth, it's important to remember the work is not complete.

In what I truly thought was an AI image, the East Wing of the White House is being torn down. I wasn't sure if I cared or not. But the more I thought about it, the more it reminded me of the days of the innocent internet, you know, the debate over whether that dress what blue and black or white and gold. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://x.com/hoodpoliticspod https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I finally got around to listening to the Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates discussion. In that discussion, Coates was able to put in to words the way I felt after hearing about the young Republicans group chat. He said "It's not that you know what Donald Trump is going to do. It's that you don't underestimate what you are up against." --- Follow Hood Politics: https://x.com/hoodpoliticspod https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
California did the bare minimum for our immigrants, but at least they did something.

what a wonderful song. thanks Prop and Matt 💜
‼️
Whew!!
That kid is a whole vibe! 😎
all that stepdad did was prove to his stepdaughter that his love & care for her was conditional
🎯
Trump is terrible for the United States and the word, but the democrats have themselves to blame, terrible messaging and no backbone.
Whew, the electoral college is a TRIP! It's wild to imagine how much could be different in presidential politics if we went to another system - popular vote, ranked voting, etc.
I dont know cause of how this man talk 😂😂😂 Shady Prop = Best Prop
I'm out of touch, I don't know any of the artists he mentioned.
immediately listened to all of sad oligarch! zero regrets
nothing is more cursed than opening for Iron Maiden, their fans will stab you for having the nerve to go before Maiden.
blowback from proxy wars = second hand smoke. lol! PERFECT analogy. #hoodpolitics
sorry man, but your idea of "the world" in relation to Russia is extremely US-centric and naive. That "world", just to start with, does not include south America, Africa and most of Asia.
that's some hardcore projection going on in that. strength and nuclear threats is the only thing the US understands, hence why north Korea still exists and Syria effectively doesn't. when the US is not in play, Russia does diplomacy just fine, take brics for example. so how goes the old saying, it's not them it's you.
Man... this show has fallen off lately. It feels like Prop isn't doing any prep or research and is just improvising his takes without forethought. I keep coming away from episodes feeling like he never made a point or an argument. I hope that changes.
You can only empathise with people who look like you? You think you have some sort of special understanding of the horrors of Yemen or Sudan? Seriously, with every ounce of honesty I have, go FUCK yourself you arrogant little cunt.
Absolutely brilliant analysis. I wish I could make this specific episode mandatory listening before any American is allowed to express an opinion on current affairs in Russia and/or Ukraine.
Another masterpiece👏👏👏
Prop, you have an amazing mind, an educators' mind. In fact my 16 & 18 year olds, are listening with me. They say they'd of enjoyed going to their classes if they'd had teachers like you.
