## Resource

Only In America, Bigots Get Body Slammed, Stop The Nonviolence and World War Trilogy This podcast features a discussion that express frustration over political and social issues affecting Black and immigrant communities in the U.S. It reflects on the consequences of recent elections, emphasizing that Black voices were ignored, leading to policies that disproportionately harm people of color, particularly in terms of immigration enforcement. The conversation touches on the complexities of race relations, the impact of systemic racism, and the challenges faced by fathers in custody disputes. Mike Starks also critiques social media dynamics, noting how friends and family often fail to engage with content creators, while strangers do. They argue that societal norms around work and productivity are detrimental to personal fulfillment, advocating for a reevaluation of work-life balance. This discussion is significant as it highlights the intersectionality of race, immigration, and social media, while calling for accountability and awareness of systemic injustices.
