RSH 71 -- The Rhodesian Vibes Return (12.18.2020)

Recorded December 13, 2020. Adam and Peter are back. Peter talks about the Ohio police shooting of another Black man -- Casey Goodson, Jr. Adam talks about Brazilian security guards beating up and killing a Black man in Brazil, racism and slavery in Brazil, and systematic anti-Black racist oppression and Black-led movements against it are global. Then, for the bulk of the episode, the guys talk about the leaked audio of Joe Biden meeting with Black civil rights leaders and how much he disrespected Black people (again) and Black political demands. Black people helped Biden win the election but Biden said he won't do shit for Black people (not surprising). Adam closes with it a special mention of nationwide union of musicians that was recently formed.  Links: Deputy Jason Meade killed Casey Goodson, Jr.: https://columbusfreepress.com/article/why-did-officer-jason-meade-kill-casey-goodson-jr?fbclid=IwAR0vJ_GGGIehs9H8UEs3CnFHYdBX6j5KzAvvwFcdey-KZNuNGnw4OBks66U ; People's Justice Project, Black Abolitionist Collective of Ohio, Central Ohio Freedom Fund, BQIC statement on Goodson killing: https://twitter.com/OhioPJP/status/1337787085974102020 ; history of slavery in Brazil (Brazil: An Inconvenient History): https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/brazil-inconvenient-history/ ; being Black in Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk1eTURC8sA ; racial identity and Blackness in Brazil: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/brazil-racial-identity-black-white/2020/11/15/2b7d41d2-21cb-11eb-8672-c281c7a2c96e_story.html ; a Black man, João Alberto Silveira Freitas, beaten and killed by security guards in Brazil: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/11/20/brazil-black-man-beaten-to-death-by-supermarket-security-guards ; protests in Brazil over Freitas's death by Brazilian cops and daily violence against Black Brazilians and poverty in favelas: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/27/americas/joo-alberto-silveira-freitas-brazil-intl/index.html; anti-Black racism in Colombia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Rii6S09AA ; Biden thanks Black voters for supporting him: https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-black-voters-youve-always-had-my-back-2020-11 ; Black voters have a message for Joe Biden: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emmanuelfelton/black-voters-biden-2020?fbclid=IwAR3KQeUlev7KPhe0wYXSb26rYlMe5cPGApms5Hatkne75y4sOcPGmpi3I_g ; leaked audio of Joe Biden's meeting with Black civil rights leaders: https://theintercept.com/2020/12/10/biden-audio-meeting-civil-rights-leaders/ ; Black Lives Matter left out of Biden/Harris meeting with civil rights leaders and responds: https://twitter.com/Blklivesmatter/status/1336817572377989124 ; Biden left out reparations in racial equity plan: https://www.newsweek.com/biden-leaves-reparations-out-racial-equity-plan-despite-lefts-call-reform-1521356 ; Biden's coalition is wealthier and whiter: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/11/joe-biden-voters-republicans-trump ; with gigs canceled and no relief, musicians form nationwide union: https://inthesetimes.com/article/union-of-musicians-and-allied-workers-organize-during-covid-musicians-gig-workers-rights ; Union of Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW): https://www.unionofmusicians.org/#about ; Theme song: "Real Sankara Hours theme song" Peter MGunn -- bass guitar Adam Hudson -- drums Support the struggle: Anti-Police Terror Project -- @APTPaction (Twitter) Reclaim the Block -- @reclaimtheblock (Twitter) secure.everyaction.com/zae4prEeKESHB…zC-lQfhEaey0U People's Breakfast Oakland -- @PeoplesBreakOak Black Hills Legal Defense Fund -- bhlegalfund.org Follow us on Twitter: Adam Hudson -- @adamhudson5 Peter MGunn -- @MGunnPeter Real Sankara Hours -- @sankarahours Adam's SoundCloud -- @adamhudson5 Get the RSS feed from our Podbean to stay up-to-date with new episodes: realsankarahours.podbean.com Subscribe to us on Patreon to get bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/realsankarahours/
