  • Reclaiming The Angry Black Woman Trope as Their Most Enduring Trait - Strength ✊🏿
    Nov 22 2024

    In this episode of The 1619 Party Podcast, we tackle the harmful “angry Black woman” stereotype and reframe it to honor the true beauty of our Black queens—their strength. As a Black man who has dated women from various ethnicities, I’ve seen the beauty in every culture. But when it comes to Black women, their strength is unmatched, born from a history of resilience in the face of oppression.

    We explore why society often views this strength through a negative lens and how it’s time to shift the narrative. By approaching our sisters with grace and love, we can dismantle these stereotypes and celebrate the power that has always defined Black women. Join us as we dive deep into what it means to uplift and honor our community.

  • 1619 A FUBU Political Party + Interracial Dating (ReSegregation?) +++
    Oct 25 2024

    In this episode of Got's To Do Better My Brotha', we discuss the looming threat of Hurricane Milton and how it ties into the larger conversation on climate change. With extreme weather events becoming more frequent and destructive, we explore how marginalized communities are often hit the hardest and what can be done to better prepare and protect them. Beyond the storm, we dive into the bold move to launch a Black-only political party—could this be the political shift our community needs? We’ll also tackle the complexities of interracial dating, weighing the pros and cons, and finish by challenging the superficiality of modern diversity initiatives through a conversation on deprogramming diversity. Tune in as we confront the pressing issues of our time, from the climate crisis to political empowerment.

    Join us as we break it all down, keeping it real and relevant!

  • A Manifesto for The New Black Wall Street and Why We Are Not Calling It "The New Black Wall Street"
    Oct 22 2024

    Introducing The 1619 Party Podcast, where we explore the intersection of economics, politics, and culture within the African diaspora. In this inaugural episode, titled “A Manifesto for The New ‘Black’ Wall Street and Why We Are Not Calling It ‘Black’ Wall Street,” we interview Darren Sandy about his manifesto and his upcoming new book.

    Several years in the making, Darren dives deep into the idea of Black sovereignty. We discuss the ideas behind his plan for achieving this goal, the practical steps necessary to bring it to life, and why a violent revolution is more likely to fail. We also delve into the word “Black” itself and why Darren believes it no longer serves us, offering a fresh perspective on how language shapes our identity and limits our progress.

    Join us as we explore Darren’s strategic blueprint for a future where our communities achieve true independence and lasting prosperity, free from the constraints of outdated labels.

  • DNC Week In Review - Fear & Faith & The Fight To Save Democracy
    Aug 24 2024

    In this episode, we unpack the key moments from the Democratic National Convention, where the stakes couldn't be higher. As fear and faith battle for dominance in the political arena, we explore how these forces shape the narrative of an election that presents a clear choice between democracy and authoritarianism. What role does fear play in driving voters toward stability, and how does faith inspire a commitment to preserving democratic values?

    We also examine the growing perception that the two major parties are converging, and whether this election offers a real choice between distinct visions for America's future. Join us as we navigate the complexities of modern politics, where fear and faith compete not just for space, but for the soul of the nation.

    Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on what’s truly at stake in the 2024 election, and how the battle between democracy and authoritarianism will define the future of our country.
