By and for people of color, the Raci$m Is Profitable podcast is all about dismantling the assumptions that shape our lives — and limit our liberation. Your co-hosts, Jeremie Greer and Solana Rice, explore why racism is profitable in America and the economic, political, and popular culture structures that uphold systemic oppression. Guests include activists, policy advocates, and researchers who cut through the jargon and serve up straight talk that’ll put more power in your hands. Produced by Liberation in a Generation Action, we’re envisioning a new economy where people of color belong.
How do tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Apple shape and exploit racial dynamics for profit? Our guest, Julia Rhodes Davis (https://www.jrdavis.me/), joins hosts Solana Rice and Jeremie Greer to uncover the hidden ways tech giants influence our society and exploit black and brown communities. From the invisibilized labor in warehouses and data centers to the detrimental impact on climate, big tech's exponential growth comes at a great cost.
