If you've listened to the last two episodes with Andre, you know I've been wrestling with what it looks like to respect all people while also acknowledging that power disparities have an impact on how we engage with harm. I say it all the time, but I want safety and security for all people, even if they disagree with my politics. Like most of you, I've had Palestine and Israel on my mind for the last few weeks. Like a lots of you, I grew up with a theology around the state of Israel that made it - not unlike the US - incapable of wrongdoing. While I was processing this, I put up a few threads on twitter but I wanted to have a conversation with someone who actually knows what they're talking about. So I reached out to Khaled Beydoun to chat about history, justice, and colonization. Thankfully he will gracious enough to discuss this with me! I'm grateful to be able to connect with people who see respect for all people as a non-negotiable even as we reckon with the legacy of colonization. Here are a few places you can find Professor Beydoun online Website Twitter Instagram His latest book (Linked to Loyalty Books in DC, a Black-owned bookstore. For those in the US, you can find Black owned bookstores in your state here.)

029: Let's Talk About Palestine w/Khaled Beydoun

When we see injustice in the world and want to fix it, how do you keep from becoming the thing you hate? I can't stop thinking about this so I invited Andre Henry back to discuss how we create a better world without, as Audre Lord puts it, the master's tools.  I can't stop thinking about the issue of moral responses to violence. Where, to ask the correctly panned question, is the line? How far can the people go in their resistance before we circle right back to where our oppressors began? Who do we want to be on the other side of this?

Part 2! The Morality of Resistance with Andre Henry

There are a lot of ways to protest and trying to figure out what the appropriate violence is feels overwhelmingly difficult. When the state is inherently violent, how are people committed to non-violence supposed to respond? Capitalism, the law, personal property are all values in American culture all have more value than nonwhite Americans. As Dr. King said, we have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws. So how do we do this? I spoke to Andre Henry about how we move forward in this inherently violent culture. We discuss the different moral frameworks we can try on, and the different applications of non-violent resistance.  Follow Andre on all the things Twitter Instagram Newsletter Website Patreon Executive Producers Jeffrey Martin Nate Frazier Producer Jillian Cohan Martin Audio Producer and Editor Nash Propst Artwork Slade Sundar www.sladesundar.com Music K.Solis Sign up for White Homework --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/toriglass/message

027: The Morality of Resistance with Andre Henry

Thanks all for your generosity and patience as I'm getting stuff situated over here!! I had a conversation with Corey Leak about how we left white Jesus and moved into a space that is committed to material equity. We need creative imagination to create a world where no one is a commodity, no one is a product, no one is just the labor they produce. Oppressive systems need to be completely reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up. Check out Corey on all the things!

026: Leaving Whiteness w/ Corey Evan Leak

This week, I had a conversation with Dr. Bradley Onishi. Brad is a professor of religious studies at Skidmore College, and the host of the podcast Straight White American Jesus. I think it would be safe to say - and I've told Brad this several times - that I am a little bit of a fangirl. As someone who grew up in white evangelical spaces, I'm kind of obsessed with their origin story and their devotion to empire. (You know, the thing that Jesus preached against constantly?) It's a story that feels thoroughly American. Please check out Brad's work. I'm a patron of his and his work is truly incredible. You can check out Straight White American Jesus podcast. I learn SO much from it.

025: A Brief History of White Evangelicals w/ Dr. Brad Onishi

Hey y'all! Had a great conversation with Blake Chastain several months ago about the slow merging of evangelicalism and nationalism. We're currently watching evangelicalism in the US move from being a religious or spiritual identifier to a political identifier. For those of us who grew up in white evangelical spaces this isn't surprising. After the election of Barack Obama, white evangelical churches began closing ranks much faster than they had been before. In the 90s and 00s, there was a more room for liberal believers in white evangelical spaces but as the culture wars began to heat up with the election of the first Black (and, according to 25% of Republicans, secret Muslim) president, political "purity tests" became much more frequent.

024: White Christian Nationalism with Blake Chastain

Taking a little break from our "racism doesn't exist" series to talk to Jo Luehmann about justice, joy, liberation, and accountability. I reached out to her originally because I am obsessed with her work around decolonizing theology. As a nonbeliever, we have nothing (to my knowledge) on the matters of joy and liberation for all people. But these are some of our shared values so I knew I had to chat with her. We had an amazing discussion and Jo blew my mind on several occasions, as she does. :) You can follow Jo on all the things.

021: What Racism? Part 2: Housing Discrimination

Happy Black History Month! This week we're starting a new series! We're calling this one "Racism Doesn't Exist" since so many white Americans believe that racism ended with MLK. So we're diving into the data and examining the disparities that exist between white people and Black people in every area of society. This week we're talking about the treatment of nonwhite patients in the medical field.

020: Medical Racism

Contrary to popular belief, Black Americans are more socially conservative on average, than their white peers. We are more likely to believe in God, attend church regularly, and most of us believe that hard work is it takes to succeed. Shocker, huh? Alice Hamilton joins Tori to discuss the difference between Black conservatism and Black conservatives.

018: Sex Work Is Real Work

Alice Hamilton and I sat down to discuss the attempted takeover of the Capitol in DC. A note of caution: language is terribly important. Alice and I use the term "coup" as a catchall throughout this episode to refer to the events that occurred in Washington DC on January 6th, 2021. With that said, I don't know how precise it is to refer to this event as a coup. For starters most (operative word!!) of the duck dynasty delegation had absolutely no plan other than to get inside the building. They didn't have a list of demands. They just wanted to break stuff and take selfies. Crimes for sure but that hardly qualifies as an attempted coup. Obviously there were plenty of malicious actors with boatloads of ammunition, and about a dozen bombs (though only two were placed). All this to say I have no idea what to call what transpired. I have taken to calling it the Saltine Siege because I saw that somewhere, it's funny, and it kinda fits. On a more serious note, I'm still reading, listening, researching and I'm sure our language will evolve as more of the pieces fall into place.

017: Well That Was Easy (The Coup)

Alice and I decided to tackle something that's become a huge part of the national narrative: why have cops at all? We have pretty clear data that policing does not work. Policing is a net negative for communities, but it's also bad for the officers themselves.  "Slavery didn't work either. It costs money. It costs lives. We have all this information and all this data, and we don't use it." "Warrior Mindset" police training. Police unions in the US. Police Clearance Rates. SCOTUS ruling that cops have no obligation to protect or serve. Prisons syphon blue voters into red counties Policing isn't the most dangerous job Police mistreatment of assault victims Sexual assault complaints again police officers Police officers are rarely charge with murder. For context: healthcare workers get assaulted A LOT. They manage to not shoot anyone though. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/toriglass/message

016: Let's Talk About Defunding The Police

Tori is joined by Alice Hamilton to discuss the reclamation of Black humanity in a country founded on white supremacist values. They discuss the ways that whiteness collides with Black bodies through assumptions, dehumanization, infantilization, lionizing, othering, and more.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/toriglass/message
