2022 Meditation

<description>A very short meditation to help you release stress and feel better. Only a couple of minutes long, it's perfect for those of you who are new to meditation.  The guided part is about 3 minutes long but the song goes on for another 3.  If it feels right to you, you might choose an affirmation and continue to meditate after I stop speaking.  I hope it's helpful.</description>

Quick Meditation for Calm

<description>So this little show has morphed from a coronavirus lockdown diary to a "Conversations About Race and Police Violence with Darbi's Black Friends in Minnesota" show.  Meet William Hill.  William is a 6th Degree black belt and entrepreneur.  I wanted to talk with him about his experiences with police which run the gamut from completely terrifying to overwhelmingly positive.  

Instead of Three Good Things, here are Three Good Links to Help White People Get Smarter About Police Violence and Anti-Racism:

1. Dave Chappelle's 8:46, a Surprise Set on George Floyd and Police Killings.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tR6mKcBbT4&amp;t=623s

2. River Of Hope, the movie William and I discuss during our interview.  https://www.amazon.com/River-Hope-Angelica-Armstrong/dp/B087JLTS5L

3. John Oliver's excellent piece on policing.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf4cea5oObY

Want to help Minneapolis with your wallet? Here are some good options:

Reclaim the Block is devoted to defunding MPD and redirecting resources to solutions that will actually keep people safer. www.reclaimtheblock.org/

Campaign Zero is devoted to ending police violence. joincampaignzero.org

We Love Lake Street has a fund to rebuild Lake Street and support the businesses who have been destroyed. shorturl.at/brxDV

WBC and Northside Funders Group have started a fund to rebuild North Minneapolis. shorturl.at/dsxZ2

Still More on Minneapolis with William Hill

<description>After last episode featuring the unwaveringly positive and wonderful Jeff Sidner, I felt compelled to feature another Black Minneapolitan who has had a different experience with the MPD.  Meet the also wonderful Elias Lemon.  You can join him on Facebook here (make sure to include a note indicating you heard him on the show):  https://www.facebook.com/elias.lemon.3

Instead of Three Good Things, here are Three Good Links to Help White People Get Smarter About Police Violence and Anti-Racism:

1.  A very simple animated explainer on systemic racism.  Basic enough for kids, clear enough for grownups who still deny its existence.  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2529359743953445

2.  Project Implicit. You can take an implicit bias test here to see how bad yours is.  https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html

3. NY Times Opinion Piece on why white people might think twice before sending those "comforting" texts to their black friend(s).  https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/opinion/whites-anti-blackness-protests.html

More on Minneapolis with Elias Lemon

<description>Today the show mostly shifts away from coronavirus/quarantine talk and to the murder of George Floyd and the resulting uprising in Minneapolis.  I welcome Jeff Sidner, a Black entrepreneur  who owns a karate school just a couple of miles from where Floyd was brutally killed by a police officer.  He shares his thoughts on the uprising and on the divide between cops and the Black communities they serve.  

Instead of Three Good Things, here are Three Good Links to Help White People Get Smarter About Police Violence and Anti-Racism:

1.  NY Time The Daily covers the systems that protect police from retribution for violence:  https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/podcasts/the-daily/george-floyd-protests.html
2.  The Washington Post "Post Reports" covers how police tactics may actually exacerbate tensions and ratchet up violence:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/anger-and-anguish-across-america/
3. Anti-Racism Links for White People:  http://bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES
