Episode 1 — Not Enough to Be EnemyWhat happens when a country goes to war — and decides you're not even worth fearing?In this opening episode of Who Yelling Now?, Olga Foreign delivers a searing spoken word piece that asks a devastating question:Why didn’t America place its African American citizens in camps during WWII… like it did Japanese Americans?Not because of mercy.Not because of trust.But because the system was already so comfortable with their oppression — it never considered them powerful enough to be a threat.“They didn’t lock us up.Because we were already locked out.”This isn’t just a history lesson.It’s a reflection on what happens when a people are too discarded to be feared, and too present to be ignored.It’s about invisibility — not as absence, but as design.It’s about how comfort with injustice becomes a kind of permission to continue it.In this episode, you’ll hear:🔥 A raw, rhythmic reflection on WWII’s racial contradictions📜 A call to examine how history excludes and erases🔊 The weight of being systemically "included" only in pain, never in power💭 A poetic indictment of silence — and a call to memoryIf you came here for soft truths and forgettable lines, this isn’t your space.But if you're ready to:See America through a sharper lensUnderstand the weaponization of neglectSit with uncomfortable parallels between past and present…then you’re exactly where you need to be.“We weren’t seen as traitorsBecause we were never seen as part.”🎧 Listen.
