Greetings Family,
I hope this message finds you well. In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we cover a topic that I've heard many white people ask me over the years (but not so much in the past 4 years).
The question is, "Why do I need to do anything about racism when I don't have a racist bone in my body?" or something along those lines.
That inquiry is normally followed with the phrases I've heard a million times like, "I have black friends that are like brothers and sisters to me," or "I was married to a black person for such-and-such number of years."
Most white people, even the so-called "liberal" ones, believe they're anti-racism/white supremacy just because they don't outright adopt and practice it.
That's a very safe position to adopt, and doing so bears little social consequences. But, when it comes to a white person--or any non-white person for that matter--who is truly committed to abolishing the system of race and who desires genuine retribution on behalf of the black people that system has harmed, John Brown is one of the only examples in history I can point to.
In this edition of Poethnic Justice, we're discussing what a real white ally looks like and honoring the legacy of the anti-white supremacists, Jim Brown.
One Love & One Justice,
The Stormy Poet

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
