Here is a daring (not morbid) conversation about death. I am being interviewed by none other than Tavis Smiley on his podcast show.

Here is my very different take on the horrific murders in Buffalo. My take refuses to make this into a narrow case of white supremacist hated. The core problem is far more common. Peace as we all mourn together. truthout.org/articles/innoce…
Here is a portrait mural of me done by an "Unknown Artist" on a wall in Denver, Colorado, which says on it, "I Am George Yancy." I had no knowledge that this existed until recently. I was humbled and in a state of disbelief. Photo cred to Peter Kowalchuk (IG @peterkowalchuk1228)

The passing of bell hooks has, unfortunately, removed some of the righteous and necessary rage from of our world. When we stand in silence in the face of violence and injustice, we are, for bell, complicit.

“As Black men, we are taught to believe that it is through our agency that we are responsible for the psychic, cultural and historical debris and wreckage which surrounds our lives. These are lies, modes of projection, bad faith and scapegoating.”

While Biden truthfully spoke about “the sting of white supremacy,” and recognized publicly Black suffering in America, we must be careful not to assume that 400 years of anti-Black racism will end in four or eight years. truthout.org/articles/lets-n…
