“The host of this podcast strikes me as an apologist for actual domestic terrorists. He spends a lot of time trying to equate and connect white supremacist terrorism and the weather underground’s strategic vandalism and then wastes even more time attempting to hold the individuals who participated within the movement accountable while never attempting to be as stern with actual domestic terrorists who have actively murdered and terrorized people (not property) since the beginning of this country.
His ramblings about how the movement impacted him personally read as selfish and childish in comparison to the thousands of black and brown activists that were assassinated and stolen from their children. This type of flimsy and weak “support” for brown and black people is what is in style and most visible today. It feels like he is resentful that his parents were radicals and actually did something about it. During certain times, he interviews and speaks as if he would have rather had a normal family that never did any work to make the world a better place for everyone. I wish the interviews and the questions being asked had been done so by someone else who had more of a historical perspective rather than a personal, biased one.
Very sad that his parents did such phenomenal work for the entirety of their lives. They sacrificed everything to provide support, solidarity and actual accountability to black and brown people, who were and have always been actively murdered, terrorized and oppressed and here is their son, attempting to create a link between actual oppressors and an entire movement of white people who were actually (for once) holding other white people accountable. The white fragility clearly on display in Zayd’s questions, personal perspective and summations is such an incredible let down and is the type of shallow “both sides” response that is most evident in ruling class individuals. Lame.”

“Before my time but sadly timeless in terms of American society and politics. The personal narratives are astounding”
