I’m not a big deal but I’m going out with my mom wright right now to and

..But I I like MSNBC

A lot of contradictory ideas and things thrown around without much weight or levity given to these ideas. Basically a mashup of modern buzzwords and hate eliciting thoughts/ideas compiled for the brainless to indulge.

Ignorant race baiting rubbish. Victim mentality at its finest.

Thank you for this excellent and insightful work.

Episode 4 on the active vs passive voice is required listening before you make that next Black Lives Matter social media post. This mini series is informative and inspirational. Thank you for breaking it down, Baratunde.

Just a bunch of social justice warrior ranting based on pure emotion.

Maybe this loser can get a gig with Don Lemon on the Clinton News Network.

Mixing up stories. Just a guy expressing a negative opinion about the country. No truth

I've been listening to NPR and Seattle Public Radio to get my news. WHAM opened my eyes to the rest of the story.

Not enough challenging progressive / reform / equality movement theory, as in not a lot of challenging introspection, but not bad. I'm always of the opinion that your argument is strongest when you present the strongest counter-argument, really give the other side your absolute best interpretation, then address their points. People who challenge the roots of their convictions tend to solidify into their beliefs while people who rely on twitter quips and bromides tend to vacillate in their beliefs throughout their life. Also, please stop calling him officer Chauvin, he is no longer an officer. He is at the time of this review an accused murderer, and hopefully the courts will remedy that into a convicted murderer.

Keep up the great work.I’m really hoping to be an ally, and this podcast is helping me to be aware of what’s going on. Language that is used such as yay tall and yay big is easy for me to relate to, even though some of the topics are outside of my personal experience.

I’m not sure what the point of this is. I was hoping for in depth discussion on the issues surrounding the pandemic with statistical evidence and historic references to the systemic racist infrastructures that enable Covid to impact black communities more severely. What I got was an episode that summarized recent events in overdrawn out comedic monologues and lengthy metaphors of supremacy being ingrained in white people like martial arts. These events, such as Ahmad and Christian Cooper and their run ins with white supremacist murderers and Karen’s, have already been discussed (with comedic relief where appropriate) ad nauseam by every black online blog and with more poignant analysis. This episode lacks direction and focus — there’s no definitive subject matter he is discussing other than being black during Covid, and this subject matter is a bit too broad to make for a meaningful show. If you’ve been living under a rock and hadn’t heard of these events, and/or you have an elementary level understanding of how race and the racist structures of this country impact black people particularly during a pandemic, this might be a good start for you. Otherwise, if you’re already black and even the tiniest bit educated on your history, this is a major waste of time with corny jokes.

Great first episode and much needed! I have always appreciated Baratunde’s voice, whether it’s been focused on tech in society or on a humorous way to help people learn “How to Be Black” (he literally wrote the book!). Check out his website, baratunde.com for info on his Live on Lockdown show. His voice is especially important to hear in this Moment that I hope becomes a sustained Movement.

Relevant and profound. 💪🏽

Baratunde’s perspective is important and refreshing. With commentary that’s both well-informed and authentically personal, he makes me laugh as much as he makes me think. His perspective is uplifting and humanizing, without simply blowing sunshine and bypassing challenging realness. And he speaks as though he assumes you’re smart — that is, smart enough to listen, contemplate, strive to do better, and take action towards positive change. Amid all the content and information swirling around us at this moment, this is a podcast to prioritize.

Compassionate, incisive, and honest observations that still manage to leave the listener hopeful and motivated.

Thank you, Baratunde! Your voice, your wisdom and your insight is so needed in this moment.

You’ve probably read his book and listened to his TED talk already. This is like that, except better, and often-er. Thank you for this, Baratunde.

All Americans need to tune in. White Americans need to practice listening. A skill worth developing.
