Totally agree with you, loved and admired Professor Eddie, that people just don't know what they are missing. I would add that they don't realize how much hate they are allowing to choke off their own capacities ...even outside their connection (or not) to humans who happen to be black. They walk around with so much frozen fear they don't even know is there.

I ditto that knowing full, there will be something that makes me uncomfortable and then I’ll start to use my intellect rather than that swampy emotionalism

Great show! That last question lobbed at you, Eddie Glaude, is the reason that I am in prayer and meditation unceasingly, daily. - kaf

White America embraces nostalgia but rejects history.

The confederacy is said to be nostalgia but the confederacy lost the war.

Why wouldn't the embrace of the unified states be a goal instead of angrily trying to resurrect a time of inhumanity and indifference to another human life.

Yes, I think racism is a weird combination of nostalgia and indifference.

Trump could kill someone on 5th Ave , and more. Mr. Glaude thank you for wrapping up week and education. Trump imploding America Trump the racist , xenophobe, homophobe. They are who they vote for. We must stop them from burning it down Now. I agree once black protesters arrive Trump and ilk will pull out the guns. We know , that’s what Trump wants. We are not naive. Yes , telling the truth , you nailed it Mr. Glaude. The same people have always begrudged education for all. That’s the jewel , education. May love uphold you both

There was a place where white people were being white people and someone came in a suggested a community wide DNA test. Turns out whitey was not as white as they thought.

In Puerto Rico we have a saying “y tu abuela donde está?” Where is your grandmother?

Please remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s 3 dangers: materialism, racism, militarism. Materialism is greed.

I agree with all you said; however, one thing I feel is that Kamala lost because she’s a woman as well as Black/Asian.

We had everything and let it go….fear causes folk to self destruct rather than give up on hate.

What an uplifting podcast. This has one of the best I have ever listened to. I want to thank you both for being you: your humanity, love, honesty, and most of all, for your ability to keep hate out of your hearts. I allow Trump to get into my head and my heart. I will try harder not to hate him so much. Just really am concerned about America. My husband, the children and I have visited America 3 times, and we find it so hard to be so far away and not able to do what we could to protest with you. Just know that so many of us in South Africa are supporting and praying for all of you.
