The Benjamin Dixon Show

Episode 613 | Black nationalists/Hoteps (I'm intentionally drawing with a broad stroke here) are saying that we shouldn't have solidarity with immigrants at the border. Here's why that's stupid.White identity politics is at the core of what drives Donald Trump and his base. Therefore we have to fight based on that.Antwon Rose was killed by a police officer who was on his first day on the job.

Episode 612 | Republicans support Trump's separation policy. This barbaric act is precisely why we can't coddle any form of supremacy. They have to be confronted head on. I make the case in today's episode.

Episode 611: It's one thing for Trump to be cordial and kind to Chairman Kim in hopes of fostering peace. But this clip shows that Trump admires Kim as a dictator.Jeff Sessions is a devil. Listen to this clip and you'll agree.

Episode 610 is a little longer and a bit more dense than average episodes. So here is a breakdown of each section:Section 1 (opening): Criticizing the criticisms of the Singapore Summit.Section 2 (8:30): Why we as individuals must address human rights violations by every nation. Section 3 (12:40): The democratization of our political ideologySection 4 (19:20): The first ideological contradiction that the North Korean deal exposes. Section 5 (29:28): The second ideological contradiction exposed by the North Korean summit.Section 6 (38:42): So you want to end the American Empire?

Episode 609 | Professor Matt Sienkiewicz fills in for Ben and discusses Trump in North Korea, unveils a theme song for "What the Blogs Are Saying" and, finally, discusses the intersection of sports and protest with journalist Terence Moore @TMooreSportsAnd as always, Max Thunder joins the conversation.

Episode 608 | The Singapore summit is happening as we speak. Let's discuss some obvious pitfalls that exist because of Trump's regime. Our allies are now our enemies -- at least in the mind of Donald Trump. But why is Trump so obsessed with the dairy tariff? Finally, I noticed some people scoffing at the idea that Trump could be realigning the world order one tweet at a time. Let's discuss.

Episode 607 - Listen to Professor Dyson eviscerate Trump and simultaneously address some issues we should discuss. "No Gays Allowed" shop owner is going viral again 3 years later because of the recent Supreme Court decision. Let's discuss how it is that people who claim to worship a God of love can be so bigoted. Finally, they thought it would be Russia, but Colin Kaepernick's subpeona subpoena of Trump may be what actually brings the President down.

Episode 606 | Trump commuted the sentence for a Black grandmother serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense. Trump is further exploiting the NFL protests for political gain.Howard Schultz wants to run for President but has serious economic problems.Finally, Mesa AZ police assault is unbelievable, yet, so very believable.

Episode 605 is wild. First up, a conservative from VA is proud to be a pedophile and thinks he can win because America is tired of "Political Correctness." A Black family in Florida is "awarded" 4 cents for the wrongful death of their loved-one. Finally, Samantha Bee is trash -- but not for calling Ivanka Trump the "c" word. Never apologize to conservatives.

Episode 604 | BREAKING: Donald Trump to Pardon another convicted criminal -- Dinesh D'Souza. Trump's loyalty fears no hypocrisy. What's wrong with us when we collectively show little concern about the 5000 people killed in Puerto Rico? Finally, Roseanne was cancelled. Let's talk about the limits of shamelessness.

Episode 602 | Ben Shapiro is a hypocrite on "free speech." But so is every other conservative. @bwinbwin breaks down the con being played by Jordan Peterson. Follow him on Twitter and visit his site http://djsaab.info/.

Episode 601 | Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris -- they are all perfectly carrying out the mission to win the culture wars once and for all. They are all in some fashion funded by wealthy conservatives who know that the new fight is to be won in New Media. And progressives and liberals are FAR BEHIND!All of that and why I joined my church choir. It's a funny and heartwarming (maybe) segment. lulz.

EPISODE 600!!!!! Let's discuss Jordan Peterson's "explanation" of "enforced monogamy" and how the Right has intellectualized and monetized "bigotry" to sustain the White, male power structure of the United States.

Brian @_blackintellect fills in for me and covers Trump's bigoted ways and the issue no one is talking about. I'll be back on Monday! We're building something exciting. Stay tuned in!

***EPISODE 596 | Trump is pulling out of the Iranian Nuclear Deal because it doesn’t address all of the other problems with Iran. So in other words, he doesn’t want to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon until they stop being “bad guys.” Doesn’t that make perfect sense? **********************************************************************************Thanks to all of our newest patrons!

This has been a tragic week for many reasons. Waffle House saw the murders of four POC in their facility and then the viral video of the Black woman being sexually assaulted by police officers. And yet, not a single word about the terrorist act from Donald Trump. Rebecca Azor fills in for Benjamin.

***EPISODE 568| Notes and Links***The Austin Texas bomber has been identified as 24-year-old Mark Anthony Conditt. He killed himself in a suicide-bombing injuring police. It took three weeks for Donald Trump to mention the bombings and even then he did not mention the Black victims. America is currently suffering from a white supremacists murder spree and the President who has all the words for “terrorism” has not only been silent, but he’s enabled this violence with equivocations that betray the “bumbling idiot” persona he has carefully crafted. Trump is the master of White supremacy. **********************************************************************************Thanks to all of our newest patrons!

***EPISODE 566 | Notes and Links***If two defendants were the same age, committed the same crime, had similar backgrounds and committed those crimes in the same state and county -- earning the same “sentencing score,” you would expect they would get the same sentence. In Florida, your sentence can vary dramatically for no other reason than your race. The Herald Tribune put together a study to show empirically what systemic racism in our Justice system looks like.**********************************************************************************Thanks to all of our newest patrons!
