Omg Dr Glaude I saw you with Nicolle at the time of this clip and was very proud and pleased to support you both. Finally someone saying aloud what we know is truth. I’ve quoted you a million times since. I’m so horrified about the reaction you received but I wish it could be surprised. Thank you for your conviction and persistence.

Bless you, Dr Glaude! I really appreciate you & your words. We need them more than ever. I saw some of the hate, racism and vitriol that you shared on twitter.... no one should ever be subjected to that evil. We stand with you! Praying for you. The country is in dire trouble and again I appreciate you.

They dare to call you racist when they're the ones ok with erasing POCs history from Federal websites. They're the ones banning Black History in schools. They're the ones who are ok with the firing of high ranking military officials with 20yrs service because they are Black. I'm certain the Germans had a tough time admitting their deadly complicity. America is in so much denial to it's own detriment.

Dr. Eddie,

Take time to love yourself. You must give yourself the same compassion that you give to others!

I am so sorry that racist assholes have come out in full force. How much we white people seem to abhor the truth. And yet there it is, you laid it out and I couldn’t agree with you more. All those white people, including so damn many white women who voted For this evil evil man rather than vote for this extraordinarily capable Black Asian woman. I will fight to my dying breath for racial justice and at this point in my life, I know I won’t come even close to seeing that day arrive. I appreciate you so much for speaking truth to power and taking the hits for your courage.

Dr. Eddie:

Appreciate your blog/insights. Keep the faith and keep speaking truth in love and sharing your light all around this world! There are more with you than against you. 2 Kings 6:15--18. As we defend, help us to also reimagine new possibilities -- policies and programs and practices to repair and rebuild and recreate a new world. We can do it! With you all the way.

Thurman

Thank you. You remind me to stay focused when feeling so sad. This beautiful city of DC that I moved to last July was such a surprising mix of joy and diversity and shared events/places. The rally for Kamala had given me so much hope.

The shock of my fellow citizens voting for this cruel collection of violence loving, hate filled people attempting to rewrite our history and erase words has been so very hard.

We had such promise and worked so hard to forge an inclusive path for all America’s children.

We must find more shared voices to loudly fight, and shout how horrendous these behaviors are, or we are lost.

Dear brother Dr. Glaude. I am so grateful for your weekly sanity-reminders. I am so grateful for the peacefulness with which you show righteous anger (not mutually exclusive). I am so grateful that you invite me to break out of the sleep that this society has induced, and to open my eyes to the fundamental (original) sin of this nation. If something is true, hiding from it - or worse, demanding it not be mentioned - is destructive of us as individuals, as groups, as a nation and a world, so thank you. Please don't ever lose your nerve.

I believe two things are happening at the same time: 1) as you so clearly state, the desire for this to be a for-whites-only nation, but 2) as outlined by Naomi Klein in her Earth-shattering book, The Shock Doctrine, the planned (cf: Project 2025) destruction of everything that would otherwise constrain the ultra-rich megalomaniacs, after which destruction comes the re-building which exclusively enriches and serves the self-styled "masters of the universe."

I learned from Black sisters the term "intersectionality." I believe there is a synergistic relationship between the innate racism of this nation and the "disaster capitalism" this present administration is carrying out, not waiting for "natural" disasters, but causing a tremendous disaster-cum-opportunity for themselves and their interests.

Again, thank you. God speed, my brother!

I've been quiet, moving from the suburbs and a greedy landlord to Downtown across from a university and 10 blocks from an entire gaggle of friends near our activist church. Been getting ready for tariffs, hunkering down. Trying to decide where the router goes and getting updates online in the meantime. Just hear to say you and the other Dr. Glaude are in my prayers. We are all in this together. ❤️

the fact you touched a nerve shows that you are right...i still remember national heathcare denied, because those in the south would rather everybody go without, rather than help pay for black folks heathcare.....so as was before...so is now :(
