This Week In White Supremacy 1HOOD discuss the increasingly exhausting news around white supremacy, emphasizing the bitter cold surrounding MLK Day, Trump's bizarre and alarming letter to Norway's Prime Minister about hostile intent to take over Greenland, the dangerous precedent set by recent ICE operations in Minneapolis, and the broader consequences of poverty, racism, and global political manipulation
Welcome back to This Week In White Supremacy, a podcast that has become both exhausting and essential. Each week, 1HOOD painstakingly sift through current events to uncover the pressing issues within white supremacy, often feeling like the discussions could span a daily show or a five-hour special.
In this episode, 1HOOD debated whether Trump embodies “God’s punishment” and explored the complexities surrounding his controversial actions in his attempt to takeover Greenland, and his grifting of the Nobel Peace Prize from María Corina Machado of Venezuela.
A major talking point was the increasing influence and violent actions of ICE. Many argue that ICE should be abolished due to its role in terrorizing communities under the guise of national security. It was noted that, historically, significant immigration policy shifts have occurred, but the violence and terror associated with ICE are new and alarming. In the era of misinformation, journalists have become crucial in disseminating the truth. The podcast highlighted a specific instance where Don Lemon, while reporting on a peaceful protest against ICE, found himself facing legal issues under The Klan Act. This reflects the broader systemic challenges and attempts to suppress journalism.
Ultimately, 1HOOD advocates for direct action, suggesting general strikes and boycotts to resist fascism emphasizing the need for community organizing and transformative justice to dismantle oppressive systems worldwide.
