Episode 70: Black Resistance from 'Hands up Don't Shoot' To 'We Will Shoot Back'

We start off hearing from Rudy about the book “We Will Shoot Back, Armed Resistance in the Mississippi Freedom Movement” by Akinyele Umoja, about the armed Black resistance fighting against oppression in the Mississippi Basin. Rudy draws parallels between fights past and present, how Black Lives Matter, Black Power, and the civil rights movements relate to the Mississippi Freedom Movement, the mindsets. “Hands up Don’t Shoot” and “We Will Shoot Back.” This brings us into a discussion about literature, anarchy, self-reliance, science fiction, and being targeted by the cops. Cue Relly, who runs down some of his history being targeted by the NYPD and put on the news hot seat in NYC. From City Hall, to Rejecting Eric Adams, to hate speech lawsuits, calling him a terrorist on the news, and the latest cases charging him with attempted burglary and arson. We talk about the case of Karmelo Anthony, a young Black teen facing a serious case over self-defense. We talk about the similarities and differences between Karmelo and Daniel Penny, folks are raising money for Karmelo amidst the rising fury of this incident where race has become a focal point. Texas republicans continue to be clueless and evil, attempting to restrict and destruct things which they don’t even understand - this time denying the biological reality of Intersex people and having to be interrupted and told he’s spouting nonsense in real time by his aide. It’s a fire episode this week, TUNE IN!
