Will We Still Be In Trumps American in Season 3? with Aja & Laura
*UPDATE: we have taken down our last episode with Shana Yao. We do not want to spread any misinformation regarding COVID. Can you believe we've made it to the end of season 2? We started this season because we were in a pandemic and sadly we end this season *STILL* in a pandemic. We've talked about a wide variety of topics in season 2 but the only thing they all have in common is that the government has failed us. How doom & gloomy huh? We don't know what the world will look like when we come back for season 3 but we do know that we'll definitely still be drinking. Cheers! Hungry?

Accepting Your Own White Supremacy with Megan Jackson
<p>Today we are talking to our friend Megan Jackson about race relations in America. We originally wanted to speak to Megan about being in a multiracial relationship and how she's feeling raising her child in our current political climate but it quickly progressed into something so much more. We hope the horrible audio doesn't district you from this conversation because Megan is so open about accepting her own white supremacy and how she is learning from mostly Black women about the subject of racism.</p> <p>SHOW NOTES:</p> <ul> <li>The 1619 Project: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/1619-america-slavery.html">Magazine Issue</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1619/id1476928106">Podcast<br> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Roots-The-Complete-Miniseries/dp/B000SLTU02">Roots Miniseries<br> </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32191706-the-color-of-law?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=1mLsl7Piqs&rank=1">Color of Law: A Forgotten History Of How Our Government Segregated America </a>by Richard Rothstein<br> </li> <li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10823748-multiplication-is-for-white-people">"Multiplication Is for White People": Raising Expectations For Other Peoples Children</a> by Lisa Delpit<br> </li> <li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65326.Other_People_s_Children">Other People's Children: Culture Conflict In The Classroom</a> by Lisa Delpit<br> </li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Crips-Bloods-America-Jim-Brown/dp/B001O7R74K">Crips and Bloods: Made In America</a>: documentary<br> </li> <li><a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80091741">13th</a>: documentary<br> </li> </ul> <p>If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform and remember to follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/heavytopics/">Instagram</a>!</p>
