democracy-ish

If someone showed up with a time machine and said your Black ass has to go back to another time in American history, when would you go back to? Most of us would say no, I’m not going anywhere. But some of us might say the 1960s would be cool. But is there a reason to want to go back even further? To go back to the 1700s or the 1600s? This week we discuss Black time travel. Democracyish.

White people stay plotting… From Naomi Osaka to Simone Biles to Venus Williams we’re talking about women we love who give us strength. And we talk about Black TV we love because self-care matters. And wypipo are crazy. Stay strong. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Senior Producer: Ryan Woodhall Producer: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

Nikole Hannah Jones is the scariest Black person in America right now because she makes white people aware of themselves and their history and the racism they’ve been a part of. Why is Nikole and 1619 and Critical Race Theory so frightening? Why is it that the right wants us to keep Dr. Seuss but cancel Nikole Hannah Jones? And how can you be racist without being mean? And what the hell is wrong with white people??? Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Senior Producer: Ryan Woodhall Producer: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

The GOP blocks an inquiry into 1/6 because they’re a garbage party that’s detached from reality. But—Trump is close to facing *criminal* charges! Do Danielle and Toure think he’s going to… prison? Unsurprisingly, they disagree. Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

Now for something completely different—this week Toure and Danielle are on vacation and the show has been taken over by “Josh” and “Brittany” two Black MAGA-loving maniacs. They’re Black but not like Black-Black. You’ll see. It’s a very special episode of Democracyish or I should say MAGAish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

Over here we have lefties who won’t take the vaccine. Over here we have righties who won’t accept Critical Race Theory. Both of y’all are workin our last nerve. Plus why Kamala Harris can’t say America is a racist nation even though we know that she knows the deal. Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

We are traumatized yet again by police murder. This time Andrew Brown Jr. And Mario Gonzalez. The police are insane—America just got finished convicting one of their guys and they’re still murdering us with impunity. That plus why are Black people so anti-vax? We’re the most likely to get Covid and the least likely to take the vaccine. Make it make sense please. I hate it here. Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

Chauvin is guilty. And that’s cathartic. But Ma’Khia is dead. And it starts again. We talk with Elie Mystal through the pain of being Black in this moment, the key moments in the trial, the question of whether or not Kim Potter will go to prison for murdering Daunte Wright, and what can we do for self-care in this very traumatic moment for Black people. Democracyish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

We interrupt our conversation about the trial of a white cop who murdered a Black person to bring you a new story about a white cop who murdered a Black person. Daunte Wright is dead. And we’re heartbroken. We talk about Daunte, Chauvin, Nazario, America, and how to get some self-care in a traumatizing moment like this. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

The Derek Chauvin trial is triggering but we can’t turn away. Toure is confident that he will be convicted—the Chief of Minneapolis Police testified against him. Danielle is certain he’s getting off—have you seen America??? We talk to legal genius Elie Mystal for some critical insight. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

We’re talking about the Derek Chauvin murder trial even though it’s really triggering and traumatizing to relive him executing George Floyd in the street while people stood there and told him, you’re killing him. It’s hard to watch but we can’t turn away. We’re already dead inside. Democracryish. Hosts: Danielle Moodie & Touré Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Editor: Quinton Hill Distributor: DCP Entertainment

White male violence is probably the greatest threat to America right now. Not Russia. Not ISIS. White mass shooters. White insurrectionists. White police who are repressing BLM rallied. White cops kneeling on our necks. Democracyish.

When white people are mass murderers the police talk about “he was having a bad day.” Why are we talking about his emotions? Why are we invoking empathy for a mass murderer? And why is mass murder so easily accepted by America now? And should we as Black people move to the South en masse to create a voting bloc that will dominate Southern states and send lots of Black people to the Senate? Democracyish.

Oprah reigns supreme. Meghan Markle is dignity personnified but also an example of the racism that upper class Black folks face. We luxuriate in Oprah and Meghan and then move on to racism against Asian-Americans, $15 minimum wage, and thoughts on what will happen in the Derek Chauvin trial. DO NOT CALL IT THE GEORGE FLOYD TRIAL. How could Chauvin get off? Um, have you been watching the show called America these past few centuries??? Democracyish.

We are under attack. From people who refuse to take the vaccine. Don’t you want to go out again? Don’t you want this to end? And yet Wendy Williams is leading people to not trust the science. We hate it here. Also: white supremacist domestic violence is on the rise. So if we’re not killed by Covid we could be killed by wypipo??? We hate it here. Democracyish.

The 1/6 terrorists smeared poop on the walls of the Capitol. They’re nasty and disgusting animals, as well as mentally lost people. It’s fun to dunk on them but remember: they have the right to vote and they have guns and some of them are police officers. We hate it here. Democracyish.

Rush Limbaugh was a horrible person who helped create the insane right wing culture that led to Trumpism and QAnon and the Big Lie and 1/6. And now he’s dead. And the world is better off. Let’s discuss. Democracyish.

The GOP is a garbage party. They refuse to allow Trump to face consequences for inciting a terror attack that could have gotten Republican elected officials killed. They refuse to put country ahead of party. They are enabling domestic terrorists. They are the Gorilla Glue of America—the thing that’s stuck to us and making our lives worse. Democracyish.

Whitecentrism is the enemy. It’s white supremacy operating inside your mind making you see the world as white people would. Defeating whitecentrism is paramount to becoming a fully self-actualized Black or brown person. More on Democracyish.

Trump incited an insurrection and still the GOP won’t vote to convict him. Because they love him. And is it wrong to love watching 1/6 terrorists get murdered? And is it wrong to want to strangle Dr. Birx with her own scarf???
