The Land of the Free and the Home of the Cruel

from Keep It Weird: A Strange & Unusual Podcast

Hi Weirdos! This week we're taking a break away from the zany, funny episodes you're used to and allowing our recurring guest Joe Ochs to give an exclusive report on the relationship between Iran Contra, Ronald Reagan, the crack epidemic, and modern day systematic racism and the oppression of black Americans all across the country. This episode is very short on jokes, because frankly, theres just not very much to laugh about.  This is absolutely one of our darkest episodes yet and we want to give a very serious trigger warning to anyone who may feel emotional while hearing about the many ways our country has set up people of color to not only fail-- but to suffer. You may have been confused recently while hearing Kanye West reference "abolishing the 13th Amendment."  Take a listen to this piece to understand a little more about what he was talking about.   Instagram & Twitter: @keepitweirdcast Facebook: Keep It Weird Patreon: www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/keepitweirdpodcast
