Red State Blue State | This Week In White Supremacy | E244

The episode's central theme revolves around the misuse of federal power by the Trump administration. 1HOOD discuss the implications of Trump deploying federal resources to Democratic-led cities like Chicago, labeling them as hotbeds of crime despite evidence of decreasing crime rates. This move is seen as a political strategy rather than a genuine attempt to tackle crime, as Trump positions himself as the savior of these areas while undermining successful local policies that focus on community investment. Jasiri X critiques rural America's fascination with Trump's policies, which often leave them worse off. He ask when the realization will hit these communities that Trump's strategies largely serve to enrich an already privileged few. This insight is starkly contrasted with the notion that poor white communities often refuse assistance that is perceived as supportive of black communities, even to their own detriment. Humor punctuates the episode, with the hosts joking about Southern cooking's origins and the cultural implications of establishments like Cracker Barrel. 1HOOD touches on the cultural and economic symbolism of establishments like Cracker Barrel, embroiled in controversy over changes to their logo perceived as 'soulless' without its traditional white imagery. This provides a lighter backdrop that juxtaposes the heavier themes, showing the resilience and adaptability of those fighting against racial and systemic injustices. -- To help us build liberated communities through arts, education, and social justice visit our website 1hood.org to purchase your official 1HOOD apparel or consider making a tax-deductible donation to 1Hood Media.   -- WATCH THE SHOW: youtube.com/@twiws -- FOLLOW 1HOOD  youtube.com/@1hood facebook.com/1hoodmedia instagram.com/1hoodmedia x.com/1hood -- About: This Week In White Supremacy is the 1Hood podcast discussing the cultural effects and weekly injustices surrounding white supremacy; through intelligent, insightful commentary and often comedic conversations this podcast is geared towards adults who want to digest the latest news and events with humor and Hip-Hop. -- DISCLAIMERS: The views and opinions expressed during this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of 1Hood Media, 1Hood Power, and or its affiliates.
