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!

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 118 - Dietwald
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-eighteenth Conversation Series event we have Dietwald. 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. I seem to have broken through a soft shell of sorts and managed to rapidly connect to many other people creating conversations on the subject of race. The guest for this conversation series event\, Simma the Inclusionist\, is one of them. Check out her work here: https://raceconvo.com/ and follow her on “X” (formerly known as Twitter) here: https://twitter.com/theinclusionist. We will discuss our respective podcasting/livestreaming journeys past\, present\, and future. Of course\, we will also discuss our respective evolution of race consciousness. Tune in and submit your questions and comments in the chat.

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 113 - Kenny Akers
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-thirteenth Conversation Series event\, we have Kenny Akers. Kenny is another stranger I met on the “X” platform\, but he certainly stands out from many other invitees. He consistently and purposefully posts information about Black history\, race\, and white supremacy. I only recently discovered and started following Kenny\, but I have been extremely impressed by the depth and breadth of the educational content he composes. I knew I had to have a conversation with him on the show about his evolution of race consciousness\, his work\, and our mutual goals. I hope you’ll join us! Bring your comments and questions in the chat! If you’d like to support Kenny’s incredible work and amplify its impact\, please consider subscribing for only $2.99 per month. Get the education yourself\, and help spread it to a wider audience. \nHis Twitter: https://twitter.com/KeneAkers

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 110 - Nick Cotter (Three Years Later)
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-tenth (yes\, you read that right) Conversation Series event\, we have a returning guest\, Nick Cotter. \nIt has been about three years since Nick Cotter\, a policy analyst for Alleghany county\, was last on The Contraband Wagon. At that time we had a riveting conversation about affordable housing\, poverty\, and gun violence in Pennsylvania\, all of which Nick has personal experience with. We talked about his evolution of race consciousness and why he agrees with Lyndon B. Johnson’s statements:\n“Negro poverty is not white poverty. Many of its causes and many of its cures are the same. But there are differences – deep\, corrosive\, obstinate differences – radiating painful roots into the community and into the family\, and the nature of the individual. These differences are not racial differences. They are solely and simply the consequence of ancient brutality\, past injustice\, and present prejudice.” \nSince our last conversation\, Nick has been working on an extensive gun violence prevention program for an absurd amount of hours a week. I happened to catch him during a weeks-long reprieve\, and why not have the discussion on black-on-black crime that so many trolls on social media suggest antiracist activists are too afraid to have. Nick agreed right away as a racialized white man doing the work in the field. This will be a good one\, y’all.

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project - Episode 5 - Part 5 - A Commentary
DESCRIPTION:I will be watching and commenting on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/thecontrabandwagon) on this brand-new Hulu show based on the 1619 Project by Professor Nikole Hannah-Jones. We already covered episodes 1 through 4 so we will continue with episode 5! \nI will be pausing to add my commentary and insight throughout the first half of the first episode. There are six one-hour episodes in total so you can expect twelve episodes of the show on this series (not necessarily back to back though). \nHere is the show’s description on Hulu: “Hulu’s six-part 1619 Docuseries is an expansion of ‘The 1619 Project’ created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times Magazine. The series seeks to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative”

SUMMARY:Conversation Series 106 - Zenith
DESCRIPTION:Come check out The Contraband Wagon\, where we’re changing the conversation on race. During this hundred-and-sixth Conversation Series event\, I will be speaking with “Zenith.” I saw him recently write on X (Twitter) that he wanted to “confront” an antiracist\, so I volunteered. I invited him to come on my livestream\, and after some negotiations about the date and time\, he agreed. He told me that he’s going to prove that I’m the “real racist\,” so that’ll be interesting I guess. Much more bloodsport than I normally engage with on the show. Definitely tune in and share your questions and comments in the chat.
