SUMMARY:Conversation Series 128 – Mark Tichenor
DESCRIPTION:The next live conversation on race (our hundred-and-twenty-eighfth Conversation Series event) is happening this Tuesday at 7:30pm ET with guest Mark Tichenor! I met Mark in a unique way. Glenn Loury\, the famed economist and a consistent writer/speaker on the subject of race through the years\, has been a guest I’ve long wanted to have on the program. He is very rarely challenged about his beliefs regarding race\, and even when he has indeed been challenged and admitted perhaps some of his thinking is misguided\, his thinking is not adjusted. I want to confront him about that and get some answers from him about a number of race related topics as well as his career writing and speaking about race that has made him a substantial amount of money. \nIn order to capture Glenn’s attention\, I have used Twitter to engage him; I created video reviews where I critique his conversations on race that he has with the same handful of people over and over; and I eventually joined his Patreon and Discord channel as well. I did finally start a private chat on Discord with his “business partner” (Glenn’s description in one of discussions) who seems to be the gatekeeper who determines who can and cannot speak with Glenn. I won’t touch the irony of him having a racialized white man dictating who he speaks to or not. Anyways\, this man said he would speak to Glenn about having a conversation with me\, but then he never got back to me or replied to any of my follow up messages requesting an answer. That was several months ago now. I figured I wouldn’t get any more traction given the way I was ghosted\, but I did end up connecting with Tuesday’s guest Mark via that Discord channel! \nMark\, a career salesman and telecommunications expert\, told me that he is curious about my perspective on race. Despite the hours and hours of video on my YouTube channel that explains in detail what I’m doing and why as well as much of my universe of thought on the subject of race\, Mark has not understood me. Naturally\, I invited him to speak with me about it directly. While Mark had no intention of ever appearing on the show according to him\, our text dialogue and pre-livestream Zoom conference convinced him to give the conversation a try. I’m looking forward to answering his questions\, and I’m looking forward to asking a few of my own. Please join us as we explore Mark’s evolution of race consciousness\, discuss Glenn Loury\, and learn about our respective conception of the racialized world. Bring your questions and comments to the chat\, and I’ll see you there!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 127 - Robin Wootton
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. Finally\, we have a new guest on The Contraband Wagon for our hundred-and-twenty-seventh Conversation Series event! Introducing Robin Wootton\, a Korean American adoptee who I reached out to via Twitter by recommendation from a patron. Please keep sending me potential guests you believe would make a great addition to the conversation! Robin and I had a great prelivestream Zoom conference where we briefly discussed the intersection of her identities and how that affected her evolution of race consciousness. I’m really looking forward to digging deeper with her during the 2-hour conversation! Don’t forget\, anyone can join me for a live conversation on The Contraband Wagon. All that is required is an open heart and an open mind. I hope to see you in the Twitch chat for my dialogue with Robin! Bring your questions and comments\, and I’ll see you there!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 126 - Smitty Russell
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-twenty-sicth Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with Smitty Russell\, another Twitter user who found me based on my work creating conversations on race. Smitty and I actually had a conversation on Zoom that was not recorded about the work we are both doing to support racialized black people and especially black men. Our initial conversation was based on education. \nSeveral weeks later\, Smitty asked me to edit a book he composed meant to counter the narratives concocted about and negative associations attributed to racialized black men. I was happy to oblige\, and I was moved by the words and images in that composition. I invited Smitty to join me for a conversation about his evolution of race consciousness\, his inspiration for the book\, and his future plans in the race context. Join me for this conversation\, and put your questions and comments in the chat. I’ll see you there!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 123 - Eric Electrons
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-twenty-third Conversation Series event we have Eric Electrons. Social media is weird. Just over one year ago\, I ran into Eric Electrons on Twitter. I cannot remember what made me reach out to him\, but I invited him via DM to a conversation on The Contraband Wagon. The message was not answered. Until recently! I replied to another one of Eric’s posts inviting him again to the conversation. He agreed to discuss various perspectives on race and on solutions to the problems created by racialization. On a more personal note\, Eric describes himself as having an insatiable curiosity and is a physics/math student aspiring to a physics PhD. Some of you may know that I teach mathematics\, and I have described myself on a number of occasions as having an insatiable curiosity. I look forward to speaking with my twin\, and seeing what comes out of it. I hope to see you in the chat during this one. Bring your questions and comments to the discussion!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 122 - Bruce Whealton
DESCRIPTION:Bruce is a racialized white man and mental health professional who joined the Racism Discussion Group and sought out a conversation about racial trauma. He has also been in relationships with women of color\, and he has reflections on those experiences he wants to discuss. My intention is to create safe spaces for people to explore those topics together with me. Luckily\, Bruce attended one of my live events where we had a public conversation on race with a black owned caterer and a black owned winery inside a black owned barbershop. Bruce felt comfortable enough after attending that event to attend some virtual discussions on race. This ultimately led to our 2-hour one-on-one live discussion happening now. I’m eager to open the door to anyone who earnestly wants to investigate these issues and gain a deeper understanding of race/racism. I hope to see you in the chat during this one. Bring your questions and comments to the discussion! \n \n

SUMMARY:Article Read Aloud and Discussion - "Virtuous Lies and Black Despair"
DESCRIPTION:Please join me for this special event! Recently\, the Australian-based online magazine Quillette released an article written by Julian Adorney and Jake (Jacob) Mackey titled “Virtuous Lies and Black Despair.” I ran into the article shortly after its release via X (formerly Twitter)\, and I was immediately struck by the fact that two racialized white men authored a piece about black despair. It all made sense after reading the content\, however. I won’t spoil the discussion for you. Rather\, I’d like to invite you to a live read aloud and discussion of the article on my livestream. I’ll be joined by two Twitter mutuals who read the article and agreed to share their thoughts. Listen in and bring your questions and comments to the chat. See you then!

Dietwald was a guest who was referred to me by a Twitter mutual\, a more and more common occurrence these days! During our preinterview Zoom call\, Dietwald described growing up in his family like growing up in a cult promoting a sprawling Nazi conspiracy theory. He will recount that experience\, describe the choice he made to begin the deprogramming process\, what that process has been like\, and how he approaches raising his son as a result of his journey. He is also a dark humor magician heh. It’s a little intimidating to be honest heh. You don’t want to miss this one! Come bring your questions and comments into the chat!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 115 - Charles Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-fifteenth Conversation Series event\, we have Charles Anderson. \nI’m starting to get referrals\, y’all! In a clear sign of growth for The Contraband Wagon\, my next guest was referred to me by one of my amazing patrons. This patron has watched several conversations on race\, and she realized she knew the perfect person to be on the show\, Charles Anderson. Charles is a father\, a husband\, and an artist based in Louisiana. He had the experience of living amongst almost exclusively racialized white people\, and then living almost exclusively among racialized Black people. This is an unusual life experience that has radically impacted Charles. Listen to him explain his journey during this Conversation Series event. Put your questions and comments in the chat! \nCharles’ Website: https://futureheroesprogram.square.site/

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 114 - Simma
DESCRIPTION:It’s November of 2023\, and I have been having public conversations on the subject of race for over three years.

Check out her work here: https://raceconvo.com/ and follow her on “X” (formerly known as Twitter) here: https://twitter.com/theinclusionist.
