Welcome back to another edition of "This Weekend in White Supremacy," where we dissect the multifaceted and often harsh realities of modern America.

As black individuals and immigrants in America, the group discusses feeling the chilling effects of living within a system entrenched in white supremacy. Much of the discussion centers around the enigmatic and controversial figure of former President Donald Trump; reflecting on his statements and their implications for communities of color, particularly Somali-Americans. This includes his recent "garbage" criticisms of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, which sparked significant discontent and fear among Minnesota's immigrant communities. Miracle passionately emphasizes the importance of supporting the Somali community and other marginalized communities in the face of hateful rhetoric. As a country, the responsibility falls on all of us to dismantle systems that create refugees and to embrace those seeking safety and a better life.

And then there is the pervasive theme of affordability—once ironically deemed a “Democratic hoax” by Trump, despite his original (now flip-flopping) campaign promises. The cost of living, from the price of groceries to housing, continues to soar, exacerbating the struggles of regular Americans who yell tales of grocery bills that break the bank while the weakest links, Democrat leaders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries fail to tackle the issues facing the working class and impoverished communities.

This Week In White Supremacy continues to provide a platform for insightful and critical discussions, balancing humor, and seriousness to tackle pertinent cultural and political issues. 1HOOD’s vibrant conversations serve to enlighten and engage audiences, encouraging broader awareness and action against injustice. Join them next week as they continue to expose white supremacy and advocate for a more equitable society for all people.

The conversation opens with a exchange about corporate responsibility, using Target's declining market position as a case study for economic disparity and accountability. The hosts touch on the consequences of corporate decisions, especially concerning diversity and inclusion in the marketplace. This segment sheds light on how consumer influence and community voice can impact corporate policies, a theme relevant in navigating economic hitmen’s influences as articulated in the episode’s title.

Jasiri, Said, and Miracle also engage in a critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy under the Trump administration, highlighting controversial decisions like the bombing of civilians in Venezuela. The conversation highlights the potential legal ramifications of these actions, emphasizing the broader impact of such policies on international relations and domestic consciousness.

Political leadership has been under intense scrutiny. Prominent figures find themselves at the heart of contentious debates, particularly regarding their effectiveness and relevance in modern society. Chuck Schumer, for instance, faces mounting calls for resignation from both colleagues and constituents. Criticism revolves around perceived failures to harness key moments that could significantly benefit the Democratic Party and the American people.

The profound impact of the 2025 government shutdown on citizens’ lives cannot be overstated. We are witnessing federal employees and everyday Americans struggling with basic necessities due to political decisions. The personal stories emerging from these struggles paint a vivid picture of the harsh realities facing many. The strain is compounded by rising healthcare costs and insufficient government response.

Domestically, the rising cost of living, reflected in escalating healthcare premiums and food scarcity, underscores the urgency of informed and compassionate governance. Public sentiment reveals disillusionment with traditional figures who seemingly prioritize political maneuvering over genuine solutions.

In a poignant display of authenticity, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro conveyed his frustrations over these debilitating circumstances. His impassioned appeal highlights the dire need for leaders who not only understand but also feel the weight of their policy choices. Shapiro’s words resonated widely, reminding us of the critical importance of leaders who genuinely strive to serve their constituents.

Globally, political alliances and decisions continue to ripple through the international community. Donald Trump’s interactions with foreign leaders like the President of Syria, who was once considered an adversary, bring questions of diplomatic motivations and the long-term effects on global relations. These actions further complicate the domestic landscape, as the focus shifts from internal needs to international strategies.

This episode opens with a light examination of vigilance and what's at stake in the fight against white supremacy. Jasiri and Saïd banter about the intricacies of being vigilant in today's society, and the duo quickly pivot to the real difficulties of defeating age-old prejudices entrenched in civilization.

Looking yet again through the lens of scrutinizing Donald Trump's recent actions and communications, 1HOOD unpacks the controversy surrounding Trump's mental acuity test, often being mistaken for an IQ test, leaving the door open for implications and murmurings about alleged dementia. In the light of Trump's broader public image and political maneuvers this would be most devestating.

The dialogue shifts sharply to the topic of old people running America’s government questioning why people keep voting for elderly candidates in their 80s and 90s, and why older people continue to hold significant influence over the policies that shape younger contemporary lives and future generations.

Jasiri highlights the irony of Republican policies severely hurting their predominantly white voter base pointing out the dissonance between political promises and economic realities with the impending fallout from SNAP benefit shutoffs affecting everyday lives, especially in low income white communities.

The conversation concludes with the significance of Zoran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of New York enraging billionaire’s to spend heavily to stop him showing that grappling with white supremacy is not a simple task but one that requires community solidarity, continuous education, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality.
