Co-Conspirators, Patriarchy and the Tattered BLM Brand

The transition from "ally" to "co-conspirator" involves active participation in dismantling the patriarchy and confronting whiteness within the classroom.

Value for Value, Allyship and NBA Virtual Crowds

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" model, using a Malcolm X quote to describe the need for honest conversation between races. They introduce a new peerage system where donors who contribute $1,000 over time become "Official Allies." Adam Curry also critiques the NBA's use of virtual crowds and "socially distanced" cheerleaders during the pandemic.
