Get comfy and let’s unpack it, there’s a lot happening there and if you do not think it affects you here, well, you’re wrong and it will do so even more soon. On this episode of “Outside is AmeriKKKa” hear our thoughts on Black and Brown organizing in 2023. Some of us like the attention, and don’t care about the costs. Most of us ignore the reality of being Black and Brown and trying to organize in 2023. What’s changed in organizing since the 60s til now? Should we still be wary of the white liberals? Is it okay to organize with the police? Are our movements being targeted and infiltrated, by who and why? What can we do, if anything about any of that? We will talk about that and why we must boycott the companies supporting Israel. What does conservatism have to do with any of this? Tune in and find out more.

Get comfy and let’s unpack it, there’s a lot happening there and if you do not think it affects you here, well, you’re wrong and it will do so even more soon. unpack that and more in this episode of the Sound of Black and Brown, “It's all about the narrative baby” a Black activist is sharing their insights on grassroots organizing, representation and the clap backs. Our guest tonight will be sharing on their lived experience and what’s it like organizing in an alleged ‘progressive’ state like CT, as a Black activist. It’s not as democratic as it may seem, not all are chosen and some, if not most are not supported because they do not fit the status quo. We will talk about that and how we can, as Black and Brown people be more supportive, recognizing as James Baldwin said, we cannot change what we will not face.
No more money for Israel’s crimes!
From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!!!
Hey hey, ho ho, this occupation has got to go!

Tokenization, is that a thing?

Get comfy and let’s unpack it, there’s a lot happening there and if you do not think it affects you here, well, you’re wrong and it will do so even more soon. Tune in as we unpack that and more in this episode of the Sound of Black and Brown, “Tokenization, is that a thing?” The world is upset at the inhumane treatment of Palestinians and should be, there are protests across the globe, droves of people of different races, backgrounds, ages, trades, lives. But yet, some states are yet to get up and stand up, and in some cases where there is something happening, Black and Brown people are somehow still getting tokenized. Is it that we do not value our representation or is it that we are so mentally enslaved, we don’t see it? Is it either, or both, or something else? So many Black and Brown people are turning another face to what is happening in Gaza, the world’s largest prison, yet, there are so many similarities between the diasporas. We will also talk about why it is so important for Black and Brown people to boycott the companies that support IDF. Facism is not only the backbone of war on Palestine it is also the foundation of slavery and oppression.

Who asked Gen Z?

Wednesday Oct 25, 2023
Alright people, get comfy and get ready to take it in, grab your favorite snack and tune into this episode of the Sound of Black and Brown ``Who asked Gen Z?” Tune in here There is so much happening locally, nationally and internationally, but yet few think that the youth are paying attention. We challenge that notion and are having a discussion with a couple of youth who are sharing their thoughts on organizing and hearing from them what they think about counter protests and the right wing - is that even a thing? How do they view community organizing, is that even a thing? How do they know if/when it is effective? What role does social media play in their view of contemporary social injustices and politics? Hear their thoughts on that and recount the walk out that happened in support of Palestine at SCSU New Haven, CT today.

Get comfy and let’s unpack it, there’s a lot happening there and if you do not think it affects you here, well, you’re wrong and it will do so even more soon. On this episode of “Outside is AmeriKKKa” thoughts will be shared on the recent rally in support of Palestine led by Gen Z that
happened in New Haven, the white saviorism that tried to diminish it and of course you know there had to be Karens and provocateurs. But why is that? And why should Black and Brown advocates and activists monitor the crowd, and manage our events. We will talk about why our representation and presence is so important, why we should know that our events will be marked and discuss if is what is happening in Gaza, really only about Palestine or is the world getting a mirror view of much more about the United States and allegedly progressive states like Connecticut and cities like New Haven? Why haven’t more Black and Brown legislators been vocal about a Ceasefire or said anything about Palestine. We will also be sharing information about an upcoming rally happening tomorrow in New Britain, outside the Greek Orthodox Church at 5pm.

Sunday Oct 22, 2023
What's happening people? Today we have back to back episodes of the Sound of Black and Brown series “What should white people do?”, this is two of two. Why is the voice of the Pro Palestine activists and advocates being silenced? It is important that we highlight that not only we covered the rally earlier, but it was quite diverse, with a lot of Black and Brown people, not white washed and heavily about white people and their issues. You can listen to our coverage of the Rally using this link https://www.podbean.com/ep/pb-3xujf-14d9d66 There were a couple Zionists present, who were booed. Special shout out to Gen Z, the UConn students who led and facilitated this rally, it is important that we acknowledge the voice of the youth. On this episode we provided more updates on the rally and shared thoughts on the advocacy and response by US lawmakers, from City to State and shared the truth, Black and Brown people do care a lot about Palestine. Also, we will be joined by Jamar J, who will also be sharing his thoughts on a recent pro-Israel post by a local New Haven alder.

It is important that we note that this rally was very peaceful and not white washed, it was diverse, Palestinians, Black and Brown people were not left out or to the back. We had updates from sources on the ground and unpack our thoughts on rising Islamophobia and Antisemitism toward Jews who support Palestine which is supported by the undemocratic media coverage of what is happening in Gaza. It is important that we highlight that not only we covered the rally earlier, but it was quite diverse, with a lot of Black and Brown people, not white washed and heavily about white people and their issues. Despite this, there were a couple Zionists present, who were booed.
