In this Weekly Wrap Up, Eddie discusses pressing global and national issues, including the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza, the impact of climate change, and the political landscape in America. He emphasizes the importance of government accountability and the need for a robust response to climate-related disasters. Eddie also critiques the current administration's approach to immigration and citizenship, highlighting the dangers of a national identity rooted in heritage over values. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the duality of American identity and the implications of recent political rhetoric.
Realistically this nation keeps coming back to this. A nation preaching everyone is equal is getting tired of saying everyone is equal. It’s pretty obvious. It’s right there to see. Grown up adult people with good hearts do not behave like this. Bad people behave like this. But when bad people get the support of over 63 million people with most of the non voters just watching it all go down then yeah…..
The constitution was written by white men who either own slaves or white men who thought it was a great idea to work side by side with men who own slaves. That very principle makes it impossible for America to ever succeed as being a true melting pot nation. Best we can hope for is this administration is pushed out and replaced with ‘normal’ again and hope the racists and misogynists go back into hiding? That’s a sad outcome. But that will always be America.
Thank you as always for reminding us of the key things to pay extra attention to this week. I’m so glad that the President of Liberia responded, he made it clear that he knows exactly who tRump is!
Dr. Glaude your presentation are a balm for my soul. Your words soothe and help me to keep my grounding in the midst of lawless behavior from those who were elected to uphold the law.
These are important key insights (had not seen San Francisco!)
- just sent a message to you - thought you would enjoy the book list I've pulled for summer - Immersing myself in powerful poetic words by folks from 1780s - 1980s
It is important to understand how people lived, thrived and stayed inspired through times like these.......
Continued love to the family and thank you for your commitment to excellence
We must never underestimate our power to make this world better. But, it’s heartbreaking to continue to love and support a country that doesn’t love you back!
JD Vance complaining about logic … and they say irony is dead!
I’m so grateful for your insights Dr Glaude. And to be able to hear you speak at length (as compared to tv where you have a minute or two.)
You are a great teacher! Your students are very fortunate to have you. As for what you talked about, Amen, brother. Amen.
You’re telling the truth.

Can we just say he is disguising his white racism?
Did someone say Bill Ackman and his plagiarist wife? I did🤚🏻
I’ve felt that Vance has been groomed.
Happy Friday Dr. Glaude.

Have to add another comment:
Michael Jackson’s song: They Don’t Really Care About Us.
Followed by Tupac’s They Don’t Give a F About Us.
Both define this administration.
That "heritage" word hits a hard note....making much more since it was "The Heritage Foundation" who wrote Project 2025...PROTEST BOYCOTT RESIST!!!!!
Dr. Eddie,
We must never underestimate our power to make this world better. But, it’s heartbreaking to continue to love and support a country that doesn’t love you back!
Thanks for speaking out.
