Welcome to Part 2 of our "Paris Massacre and the Algerian Struggle for Equality" conversation. On October 17, 1961, one of the “most violent acts of repression ever applied to a street protest in Western Europe” took place. The streets of Paris, France were filled with peaceful, pro-independence Algerian protesters demonstrating against an imposed curfew on “Algerian Muslim” workers. This community has also been referred to in France as “French Muslims” or “French Muslims of Algeria.” As we alluded to before, this protest was met with state-sanctioned violence, the official death toll is in dispute, historians now agree that the death toll was at least 48 people. Many believe that it was “well over 100.” How could something like this happen? Why? Helping us cover this topic today is special guest Melissa Chemam, author of the article I just paraphrased from, “Paris Massacre: 60 years on, France must face its colonial past.” Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn.

We have covered Malcolm X in previous seasons. We alluded to how the narrative that surrounds his legacy tends to be tarnished in the eyes of some. He has been the victim of revisionist history in many regards. According to the paper “The Vilification of Malcolm X” by Greg Tull, this was done systematically with intention. On this episode, we look to expound upon his vilification with the paper’s author and returning guest Greg Tull. Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn.

Historically, there have obviously been opportunity gaps across many different professions and disciplines. The tech industry, like others, has a significant underrepresentation regarding people of color. Black people make up 7% of the tech industry while making up 13% of the U.S population. Latinx people are even more underrepresented making up 8% of the tech industry while having an 18% total U.S population. Why is this the case? What is being done to close the gap? What can we do?  Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn. Follow us @discriminology_podcast on Instagram, @discriminology3 on Facebook and Twitter.

The conversation concerning whether activism has a place in sports is a frequent topic in the media. Conservative TV personalities like Laura Ingraham have made derisive statements like “Shut Up and Dribble” about modern day athletes, claiming that they lack the credentials to speak out on socio-political topics. Activism in sports however is not a new occurrence, which tends to be left out of the discourse. In today’s episode, we will cite major historical examples of social justice demonstrations in the sports world. Helping us do so is returning guest Olivia Gordon.  Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn. Follow us @discriminology_podcast on Instagram, @discriminology3 on Facebook and Twitter.

There is a large racial wealth gap in the United States overall and it’s especially large in the pop culture/entertainment arena. This is additionally troubling considering the insurmountable contributions Black people have made to pop culture and digital content creation. Today our special guest Anuli Akanegbu (Ah-noo-lee A-ka-nay-boo) joins us to help us discuss this matter, particularly as it relates to Black women in content creation.  Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn.

On this episode we will be discussing the hiring practices of educators, specifically on Long Island NY. There is a visible lack of diversity in high school educators in this region and nationally. We invited Roslyn U.S history teacher Greg Tull to discuss his experience pursuing the education profession from his time as a student through his experience interviewing for positions. Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn. Follow us @discriminology_podcast on Instagram, @discriminology3 on Facebook and Twitter. Thank you to Greg Tull for joining us.

On this bonus episode, Malik runs through a high-level overview of the core tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT). CRT has been dominating public discourse across various institutions (politics, education, etc) Frankly, some of the individuals engaging in the debate do not understand it beyond having something to do with race. We already have an extended podcast on CRT featuring Dr. Angela Onwuachi-Willig; but we figured providing a 10 minute crash course on CRT’s major concepts is perfect for today's social media attention span, enjoy!

On the Season II finale of Discriminology, we discuss and reflect on the significance of two major historical events in Black history, Juneteenth & the Tulsa Massacre. Despite their historical significance, there are still significant gaps in education and awareness around both events. We address some of those questions with the assistance of Esther Kramer.

On this episode will discuss the Model Minority Myth, The term was first coined by a sociologist named William Peterson in a New York Times Magazine article about Japanese Americans, essentially applauding their ability to garner capital and success through efforts on their own despite their racial background, without demanding or protesting anything, in the U.S in the eyes of the greater power structure. This sentiment has since been expanded to the entire group. Anti-Asian sentiment has been brewing for months now throughout the pandemic. The Center for Study of Hate & Extremism published a report documenting changes in hate crime patterns in 2020 in 16 American cities. According to this study, anti-Asian hate crimes increased by 149% in 2020 while overall hate crimes decreased by 7% seven percent. That surge has increased to 169% through Q1 of 2021 in the state of NY. That being said, hate and oppression of the AAPI community was not born during the pandemic, it has been a recurring issue throughout American history from “yellow peril” to Japanese internment. Seeing a “model minority” group being treated this way is hypocritical, to say the least. We have a special guest to help us with today’s conversation who Mr. Kramer will introduce Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/discriminology/donations
