After spending a short tenure as one of the front page writers here I moved over to Salon where, for the most part, I write exclusively. I also host a podcast which has become a type of informal Trump University—except that folks are not scammed out of their money and there are actual experts who want to help the global public understand the disaster that is Trump’s regime. On my podcast I have featured many of the country and world’s leading voices and experts on Trump and the social forces which launched him to power. I will be sharing some of those conversations here at the Daily Kos on a more frequent basis.
This week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show focuses on the white supremacist neo-Nazi terror massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand which killed at least 50 people and left 50 others injured.
Tim Wise is the author of numerous books including his most recent Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America.
Wise explains how the New Zealand terror attack is an example of the ways that whiteness and white privilege are experiencing a global existential crisis, Donald Trump's responsibility for encouraging and legitimating hate crimes and other white right-wing violence, and if the public should still be surprised by the evil events in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I end this week’s Chauncey DeVega Show by reading a profile of the Muslim brothers and sisters who were killed and injured by the neo-Nazi Donald Trump-inspired mass murder Mosque attacks in New Zealand.
