This Week In White Supremacy 1HOOD hits with an in-depth review of Trump's mental acuity test and the international concerns about his cognitive abilities and controversial decisions including the pending impact of the SNAP benefit shutoff on white Americans, geriatric politicians ruining themselves and the country, and the significance of Zoran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of New York enraging billionaire’s to spend heavily to stop him.
This episode opens with a light examination of vigilance and what's at stake in the fight against white supremacy. Jasiri and Saïd banter about the intricacies of being vigilant in today's society, and the duo quickly pivot to the real difficulties of defeating age-old prejudices entrenched in civilization.
Looking yet again through the lens of scrutinizing Donald Trump's recent actions and communications, 1HOOD unpacks the controversy surrounding Trump's mental acuity test, often being mistaken for an IQ test, leaving the door open for implications and murmurings about alleged dementia. In the light of Trump's broader public image and political maneuvers this would be most devestating.
The dialogue shifts sharply to the topic of old people running America’s government questioning why people keep voting for elderly candidates in their 80s and 90s, and why older people continue to hold significant influence over the policies that shape younger contemporary lives and future generations.
Jasiri highlights the irony of Republican policies severely hurting their predominantly white voter base pointing out the dissonance between political promises and economic realities with the impending fallout from SNAP benefit shutoffs affecting everyday lives, especially in low income white communities.
The conversation concludes with the significance of Zoran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of New York enraging billionaire’s to spend heavily to stop him showing that grappling with white supremacy is not a simple task but one that requires community solidarity, continuous education, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality.
