What if the bloodsport, we call politics, is actually a "setup"? 
What if the media and political leaders want us to fight so we can't focus on the real issues? 

In this episode, we discuss Arnold Kling's book "The Three Languages of Politics" and the media and political leaders are using divide and conquer politics to pit progressives, conservatives, and libertarians against each other.

In 1919, the St. Louis Fairgrounds swimming pool was built as a community treasure for white people.  When white power was told to allow all community residents to swim in the pool, white power chose to drain it and shut it down.  White power hurts us all - let's talk about it.

How do you get your white friends and family to see that systemic racism is real and pervasive in America? 

Talking about race is frowned upon in social circles. Racism is considered one of the three topics you shouldn't bring up if you want to have a civil conversation, along with politics and religion.  The problem with the "ignore it and it will go away approach is that racism flourishes in an atmosphere of silence and ambivalence.  Worse, in America, racism is the status quo for most Americans and it will stay that way until White America wakes up.

Stan and Dan talk about strategies for getting those closest to you to "wake up" and take action.

January 6, 2021, will live in history as the day the United States Capitol building was attacked by white supremacist terrorists seeking to invalidate the votes of black and brown voters from key electoral swing states.  Today we discuss the implications of this white supremacist backlash.
