Continuing with themes related to the new book, Laundering Black Rage: The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits, we explore the myth that the State is reducible to government with our guest Rasul Mowatt, Department Head of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management in the College of Natural Resources and Affiliate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University. We explore the origins of the State, theorists of the State, and how it informs anti-colonial movements. If the State is not simply the government, then how are we to understand it? We explore this question and more. Laundering Black Rage is now available. To purchase it at a discounted rate please follow the instructions below.

Dr. Joy James joins to talk about her new book "New Bones Abolition: Captive Maternal Agency and the (After)life of Erica Garner", and the question of the lesser evil.

We interview Orisanmi Burton author and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at American University about his book Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt. https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths

Part 2 we analyze the history of political and mass incarceration.

In this episode, we examine the myth that prison is built for profit. That is, the myth that mass incarceration is driven by private profit above all else. Although there are certainly profiteers within the prison industrial complex, prisons operate at a loss. Therefore, in part 1 of this series, we explore what does not drive mass incarceration. In part two we will explore what actually drives mass incarceration. In part three we will interview, Orisanmi Burton, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and author of the book Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt.

Dr. CBS returns to the Black Myths Podcast to discuss her book "Black Scare / Red Scare" in relation to our current political times. In part 2, we draw the connections between Dr. CBS's Black Scare/Red Scare Theory with the contemporary issues of today: Israel-Palestine, Stop Cop City, "Wokeism", Critical Race Theory, and the distraction that these discourses cause.  #CriticalRaceTheory #Wokeism #IsraelHamas Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXuC-rPwYZ8&ab_channel=BlackPowerMedia Black Scare / Red Scare Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States  https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/B/bo207945104.html Sign up for Patreon https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths

In this episode, we cover the myth "Communism Made Me Do It." 'Communism Made Me Do It' is a tongue-in-cheek way of how the US blames radicalism for radicalism, instead of the US capitalist-led conditions that produce it. Since the Bolshevik Revolution, Communism, more than any other political ideology, is the boogeyman that allows radicalisms of different kinds, both anticapitalist and not, to be targeted by the US capitalist racist society. To help us debunk this myth we draw on the work of Wayne State University associate professor, Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly in her first single-author book Black Scare / Red Scare: Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States. She is a critical Black Studies scholar of political theory, political economy, and intellectual history. We discuss the foundational elements that make the United States an anti-communist anti-Black society including widespread repression and propaganda. As a comrade of the show, we celebrate the publication of her book.

In this episode, we explore the myth of the Israel-Hamas War with guests Rana Nazzal Hamadeh and Musa Springer beginning with the history of Israeli conquest of Palestine and the history of apart that followed. Rana is a Palestinian artist and filmmaker living between Ramallah and Ottawa on unceded Anishinaabe territory. Her photography, film, and installation works look at issues related to time, space, land, and movement, offering interventions rooted in a decolonial framework. My practice is deeply informed by the knowledge emerging from the grassroots movements for justice around me, both in Palestine and across Turtle Island. Musa Springer is a cultural worker, community organizer, and independent researcher. They are a member of the Walter Rodney Foundation, Hood Communist editor, and host of the Groundings podcast.

On this episode, Dr. Jared Ball joins us to debate the resolution — Pooling Black Resources is Imperative to Liberation— inspired by his recently released book The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power. Our host Too Black debates the affirmative while Dr. Ball debates the negative. We want to engage principled disagreements throughout the Black Left and the sociopolitical Black world. The Black Myths podcast is predicated upon debunking quantifiable myths. Our debates expand beyond fact and fiction to create a discourse around the philosophies, strategies, and ethics that govern our lives. Thus, we are more interested in you learning than anyone "winning" the debate. Intro: 0:00 Rules: 07:31 Debate: 13:52 Post Debate Discussion: 55:01 https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths
