In this episode of the "Black Lives Don't Matter" podcast, host Deron Harris addresses the alarming trends affecting Black youth, particularly young Black males. He discusses a new initiative by the current administration to increase police presence in predominantly Black neighborhoods, which he believes is a tactic to criminalize and control the youth. Harris emphasizes that the crime rate in Washington, D.C. is at a 30-year low, yet the narrative being pushed is one of danger and instability, aimed at justifying increased policing and the targeting of Black communities.

Harris warns that the system is designed to ensnare young Black individuals, pushing them into a cycle of incarceration and exploitation. He calls for education and awareness among the Black community to resist these oppressive tactics and to stop participating in behaviors that lead to their own downfall. He stresses the importance of solidarity among Black and Brown people, urging them to recognize their shared struggles and to work together for a better future.

Throughout the episode, Harris expresses frustration with the media's portrayal of Black individuals and the systemic issues that perpetuate racism and inequality. He encourages listeners to invest in their communities, prioritize tangible assets, and reject the superficial values that have been imposed on them. He concludes with a message of love and unity, urging the Black community to recognize their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Harris emphasizes that the fight for justice and equality is ongoing, and he remains committed to raising awareness through his podcast.

In this episode of the "Black Lives Don't Matter" podcast, we examine the struggles of the Democratic Party and question whether Black Americans should continue their long-standing support for it. With 83% of Black voters historically aligning with the Democrats, how did this loyalty form? How did it ultimately fail us?

Trace our political journey from being Republicans during Lincoln's era to shifting towards the Democratic Party during the New Deal and the civil rights movement. Despite our unwavering support, we highlight the lack of tangible benefits we've received over the years, including economic stagnation, mass incarceration, and gentrification.

Emphasize that Black lives don't truly matter in the eyes of those in power, as evidenced by systemic racism, police violence, and the ongoing struggle for basic rights and recognition. Let's call for reevaluating our political alliances and stress the need for real change, action, and empowerment within our communities. Ultimately, if Black lives truly mattered, we wouldn't need to protest for recognition of our worth, we wouldn't need a movement.

In today's episode of The Black Lives Don't Matter Podcast, host Deron Harris tackles the controversial topic of the February 28th, 2025 "Economic Blackout" boycott.

He explores the origins of this boycott, its aims, and its potential impact on major retailers and the economy.

Harris challenges listeners to consider whether one-day boycotts truly effect change or if they're merely symbolic gestures. He discusses alternative strategies for economic empowerment and community building that could lead to lasting improvements for Black Americans. The episode also touches on the broader context of ongoing social and political issues affecting the Black community in 2025, including corporate DEI rollbacks and government workforce reductions.
