We still don't know what really happened to Sandra Bland. The KKK, neo-Nazis, the US's genocide of Native Americans, slavery, lynching, hate groups — the stuff good folks would identify right away as bad — those are just the most visible tip of the iceberg. This has been linked to chronic health and respiratory issues, combined with less access to health care and healthy food. But I see many white brothers and sisters, especially the so-called "middle class," who seem to be unable to navigate this moment of challenge and death. Most of these structures and institutions have been in place for so long that not much has to happen to keep them going. The right-wing has now claimed racism and anti-intellectualism and being anti-science. He also reflects on how as compared to Black and brown people, white privilege and class privilege have made it more difficult for many white Americans to adapt to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, the country's economic calamity, and the reality that they are living under a fascistic regime. He also hosts a weekly podcast, The Chauncey DeVega Show. Living with that knowledge and life experience makes dealing with the lockdown and all the economic and social problems caused by the pandemic a bit easier for Black folks. Consider all of the Black conservatives throughout these recent years. For centuries Black people have been abused by the country's police. This includes everyday stuff like police brutality; the legacy of Jim Crow laws mandating segregation; gerrymandering; the ongoing impact of redlining and housing discrimination; long-standing economic inequality; mass incarceration; asking Black people to explain things that you could just Google, and much, much more. Do they have any new ideas? I was tall, over 6 feet. Melissa Hudson Bell is the lucky lady married to the comedian Walter Kamau Bell also known as W. Kamau Bell. How have you managed those questions and choices for yourself? W. Kamau Bell is a sociopolitical comedian and author who hosts and executive produces the CNN Original Series "United Shades of America. They need those white women who voted for Trump last time and now, for whatever reasons, are the same white women who showed up at the Women's March. How are you staying productive and level? For example, we can perhaps win over the white suburban who see these videos such as what happened to George Floyd and have a moment of realization about police brutality and why Black Lives Matter is important. But for white people it is different. I used to get all those offers to debate such people. Yes, it is. Where are their coping and life skills? Pittsburgh is a paradox. It's even more grim now. And leading Republicans care about their power much more than they care about democracy, much more than they care about logic, much more than they apparently care about humanity, much more than they care about science, much more than they care about you or me -- even if you happen to be a Republican. Marriage equality becoming the law of the land was a big, impossible sounding idea up until the moment it popped up as a news alert on your phone. For me, every reaction to these videos and what comes afterwards – even if it is looting or violence – is just Black America saying, "We don't know how to get your attention.". My 5-foot-5-inch mom would look around the kitchen and finally see the salt peeking from the top of the refrigerator, and she'd say, "How is the top of the refrigerator 'putting it down?'" Bell's new animated YouTube series "Talk Boring to Me" attempts to make sense of these months of tumult, confusion and upheaval by educating viewers about the deeper issues of social inequality facing American society and what they can do about them. But it must be a conversation that leads to action. Trump does not even care about his dead friend. And don't worry, even when we expand the Court, rich, White guys will still do just fine.
