1
00:00:15,236 --> 00:00:25,316
Speaker 1: Pushkin. The problem of racism is before us, threatening our

2
00:00:25,476 --> 00:00:28,956
Speaker 1: very existence. How are we going to free humanity from

3
00:00:28,956 --> 00:00:34,316
Speaker 1: this virus? What's up? I'm ebramax Kindy, the host of

4
00:00:34,396 --> 00:00:38,716
Speaker 1: The Anti Racist, a new action podcast from iHeartRadio and

5
00:00:38,796 --> 00:00:42,916
Speaker 1: Pushkin Industries. Well, disabilities exist in one third of households,

6
00:00:43,436 --> 00:00:45,316
Speaker 1: So if we're not in your house, where your neighbor

7
00:00:45,316 --> 00:00:47,396
Speaker 1: on the right or the left were your brother, were

8
00:00:47,436 --> 00:00:51,436
Speaker 1: your sister, were your parents. There's so many anti native

9
00:00:52,036 --> 00:00:56,876
Speaker 1: racist ideas and tropes, but I would probably say the

10
00:00:57,116 --> 00:01:01,476
Speaker 1: most anti black racist idea is the idea of black

11
00:01:01,476 --> 00:01:06,676
Speaker 1: people's dangerous and it's probably the worst of all. Yeah,

12
00:01:06,716 --> 00:01:08,836
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's tough. Do I have to choose

13
00:01:10,596 --> 00:01:13,796
Speaker 1: the most damaging? If I did have to choose, i'd say, yeah,

14
00:01:13,996 --> 00:01:19,396
Speaker 1: the idea that Natives are not actually here, the sort

15
00:01:19,396 --> 00:01:23,916
Speaker 1: of an insistence in our national storytelling on our disappearance

16
00:01:24,356 --> 00:01:28,556
Speaker 1: to justify the theft of land. Each week, I'll be

17
00:01:28,636 --> 00:01:31,956
Speaker 1: joined by a special guest to discuss how different policies

18
00:01:31,956 --> 00:01:35,356
Speaker 1: and platforms can dismantle racism to build a just and

19
00:01:35,476 --> 00:01:40,276
Speaker 1: equitable world. I feel like people are using the word

20
00:01:40,476 --> 00:01:45,196
Speaker 1: racist too liberally and it's undercutting its power and importance,

21
00:01:45,636 --> 00:01:48,796
Speaker 1: and so when we actually do have something that actually

22
00:01:48,796 --> 00:01:52,196
Speaker 1: does fit the definition, the word has been cheapened. So

23
00:01:52,476 --> 00:01:56,116
Speaker 1: for me, what I think is important that I think

24
00:01:56,116 --> 00:02:00,556
Speaker 1: can help this is if we develop a shared and

25
00:02:00,676 --> 00:02:05,636
Speaker 1: consistent definition of the term racists. Invoking voter fraud to

26
00:02:05,716 --> 00:02:08,916
Speaker 1: justify voter suppression has been around for a very long

27
00:02:08,916 --> 00:02:11,796
Speaker 1: time time and has a really ugly history in this country.

28
00:02:11,916 --> 00:02:15,116
Speaker 1: We'll tie the past to the present, inviting listeners to

29
00:02:15,156 --> 00:02:18,996
Speaker 1: consider what an anti racist future might look like and

30
00:02:19,196 --> 00:02:22,596
Speaker 1: lay out the strategies and narratives we can all rally

31
00:02:22,676 --> 00:02:26,556
Speaker 1: around to achieve one. I think diversity is America's superpower,

32
00:02:26,556 --> 00:02:29,196
Speaker 1: and yet we so often don't tap into it. An

33
00:02:29,196 --> 00:02:32,836
Speaker 1: anti racist future depends on my actions or your actions,

34
00:02:33,076 --> 00:02:36,876
Speaker 1: and be anti racist will help us understand precisely how

35
00:02:36,916 --> 00:02:40,716
Speaker 1: we can build it all. The sort of visionary ideas

36
00:02:40,796 --> 00:02:43,796
Speaker 1: about what kind of society we want to build were

37
00:02:43,876 --> 00:02:48,716
Speaker 1: never created in a think tank or from the smartest people,

38
00:02:49,076 --> 00:02:53,156
Speaker 1: but through struggle, through this constant, constant struggle to change

39
00:02:53,196 --> 00:02:59,356
Speaker 1: the world. I'm Heather c McKee, Robin d g Kellyan,
