🎙️ EPISODE 12 — “The Masks We Wear, The Roots We Bury”

In this incendiary and eye-opening episode of Three for the Founders, the trio wades into America’s murkiest waters—race, identity politics, and immigration policy—with no life vest and no filter. Buckle in as Antonio dares to ask, “What if we just gave the country back to white people?” It’s not a surrender—it’s a provocation. What would it really take for America to confront its foundational contradictions?

👀 What’s Inside:

• Media manipulation, political theatre, and the weaponization of identity in the age of Trump
• “Neowhites” and the strange phenomenon of people of color aligning with oppressive ideologies
• Black and Latino tensions, internalized racism, and the exhausting chase for proximity to whiteness
• Real talk about performative patriotism, assimilation, and the trauma of conditional belonging

🤔 Questions for the Audience:

• Have you ever caught yourself shrinking your identity to fit in?
• What do you gain—or lose—by trying to be seen as “one of the good ones”?
• Who benefits when communities of color turn on each other?

🧠 Takeaways:

• Silence is not neutrality—it’s complicity.
• Identity isn’t just personal—it’s political.
• Assimilation can be a survival tactic, but at what cost?

✅ Action Items:

• Reflect: Journal about a time you felt pressured to “perform” your race or hide it.
• Engage: Talk to a friend or loved one about how media narratives have shaped their political views.
• Challenge: The next time someone says they “don’t see race,” ask them why not?

💥 Expect fire, vulnerability, and maybe even a little guilt—but mostly, expect a real conversation that doesn’t flinch. Because on Three for the Founders, if it doesn’t make you uncomfortable, we’re not doing it right.

🎧 Tune in. Think deeply. Then do something.
