This Week In White Supremacy 1HOOD talks about Bad Bunny's upcoming Super Bowl performance and his global influence, political maneuvers surrounding the Epstein files and Donald Trump's government shutdown, while acknowledging the life and memory of revolutionary leader Assata Shakur and her legacy in the ongoing struggles against systemic oppression
As always, cultural topics took center stage with an extended discussion about Bad Bunny's rise in prominence and his anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance. 1HOOD expressed enthusiasm for how Bad Bunny challenges language and cultural barriers, especially within an American context that often prioritizes English and monolingualism. The conversation expanded to broader themes of identity and inclusivity in music, highlighted by Bad Bunny's influence on Puerto Rico’s economy and social activism.
A significant portion of the episode was dedicated to reflecting on the life and passing of Assata Shakur celebrating her as a symbol of resistance and empowerment, particularly for Black women. Assata's story was upheld as a powerful reminder of past struggles and a call to action against current injustices, reinforcing the necessity of protecting and uplifting Black political prisoners who continue to fight for equity and justice with resolve and determination.
The political discourse took an intense turn as this podcast dissected the chaotic state of current American politics. The shutdown of the federal government under Trump's watch is discussed as a strategic move with dire consequences for the general population. 1HOOD collectively criticized figures such as Hakeem "Hank" Jeffries and Chuck " No Spine" Schumer for their lack of courage and selling out to AIPAC and questioned the disconnect between political actions and public needs.
