Very informative

Black supremacy propaganda, like any form of supremacy propaganda, can be dangerous for several reasons: 1. **Promotes Division and Hatred**:black supremacy propaganda, regardless of the group it targets, fosters division and hatred between different racial or ethnic groups. It fuels animosity and conflicts, contributing to a more divided society. 2. **Undermines Equality and Justice**: The promotion of black's superiority over others contradicts the principles of equality and justice. It can hinder efforts to achieve social progress and equal rights for all individuals. 3. **Perpetuates Stereotypes**: black supremacy propaganda often relies on stereotypes and generalizations, perpetuating harmful beliefs that can negatively impact how people perceive and interact with one another. 4. **Threatens Social Cohesion**: A society's strength lies in its diversity and ability to come together. Black supremacy propaganda weakens social cohesion by emphasizing differences and creating an "us vs. them" mentality. 5. **Encourages Discrimination**: When black group is presented as superior, it can lead to discrimination against other groups, impacting areas such as education, employment, housing, and more. 6. **Provokes Violence**: black supremacist ideology can incite violence and extremism, as individuals who believe in the superiority of their group might feel justified in taking aggressive actions against perceived threats. 7. **Damages Relationships**: black supremacy propaganda can damage interpersonal relationships, eroding trust and understanding among people of different backgrounds. 8. **Stifles Progress**: A society's progress depends on collaboration and the exchange of ideas from diverse perspectives. Black supremacy propaganda stifles these exchanges and limits the potential for growth and innovation. 9. **Hinders Social Justice Movements**: The promotion of black supremacy can overshadow legitimate social justice movements aimed at addressing historical injustices and inequalities. 10. **Undermines Efforts for Unity**: Rather than working toward unity and cooperation, black supremacy propaganda pushes people further apart and makes it difficult to find common ground. Promoting understanding, empathy, and cooperation among different groups is essential for building a more inclusive and harmonious society.

This is by far the most in-depth piece on the origins of The Black Panthers, and “Who Knew”’lol. Please keep providing quality information and intriguing stories.

Eldridge cleaver was a self proclaimed rapist and Bobby seale was a sex trafficker who murdered a teenage girl. The violence and degradation favored by the panthers is why so many poor black communities are still suffering today.

Love the depth of history and knowledge here, feel like I’m in the room with Roy and Eunice!

Love the history, story telling and production on this!

This is why “the great sort” is not the answer. Everything we know about our civil rights that are now at risk has come out of places like Lowndes County, Alabama. This is an important story we all need to hear right now.

The hosts are both funny and knowledgeable about this subject. I thought I knew a lot about the civil rights movement but already learned things. I’m definitely looking forward to the rest of the season and would love to see more podcasts like this

I always thought the Panthers started in Oakland! So glad to learn the true story of the movement’s beginnings; the first two eps were fantastic, can’t wait for more. (Also LOVE the hosts’ voices)

Wow, this podcast trailer sounds so good! The hosts have voices smooth like butter and I love the music too! I did not realize the Black Panther party got its start in the south - I can’t wait for more eps to come out!!!

I didn’t know anything about Bonita Carter before this podcast but found myself totally immersed in her story, which becomes the city’s story. It’s interesting and timely to hear about all the different lenses her death was viewed from, and how similar it feels to current events. Definitely recommend, especially if you liked White Lies and similar podcasts.

Really well done. Not many people know the story of Bonita Carter, but before George Floyd, her death changed policing and politics in Birmingham, Alabama

I really enjoyed this podcast. I do realize investing a issue takes time, but would love to have more podcast about other issues going on in our state. Thanks for your work.

As an outsider to Alabama politics Reckon Radio provides valuable insight into the inner working of Alabama polity. Keep up the reporting and storytelling that enlightens all Alabamians to the inner workings of this unique state.

I'm a little behind on getting around to listening, but being a UA alum, it was great to learn the historical context behind the Machine and how things have carried on since I graduated in 2010. Great work from Amy Yurkanin and John Archibald.

Reckon hit it out of the park with a 4 episode look at “The Machine” at the University of Alabama.

Interesting, informative and a disturbing history. Well done

A fascinating exposé of the seedy incubator of corrupt Alabama politics. I wish you great success, so that in the future you might be able to buy a decent microphone. The sound quality of many of the interviews is cringeworthy, and detracts from the otherwise exceptional investigative journalism.

I was disappointed in this podcast. I found it one-sided and much too concise. There is so much more to understand about this topic. As an alumni who was active in the Greek system I found the podcast grossly misrepresented the goal of the Machine. It was portrayed as though the Machine was organized to deter racial diversity and growth. This is completely inaccurate. Members of the Greek system always understood that the mere existence of the sororities and fraternities was always in jeopardy. The Machine was organized to help ensure the health of the Greek system. People voted for the candidate that represented their interest. Were their tactics at times misled and atrocious? Absolutely; but the goal was not to thwart progress or diversity. It was to protect something that they felt strongly about. There is so much more to say but the notion that the Machine is some kind of anti Semitic, racist organization that will stop at nothing to stop progress is just wrong. That is not the goal at all. As for the notion that the machine is a breeding ground for future dirty politicians. Please, politicians will be dirty or not no matter where they went to college. I am certain that most Machine members never went on to have a career in politics and if they did I’m willing to bet that just as many turned out to do good things as well as those who did bad things. Much ado about nothing in my opinion. Campus politics at the end of the day.

I would love more podcasts about other university groups in Alabama, we all know this isn’t the only one.

Masterfully done. Never sensationalized, but artfully told. And the story is staggering. The other thing I love about this podcast is that it is for more than entertainment. It’s a true crime whodunnit. It’s a current story that needs to be told. I honestly couldn’t have loved it more.

I can’t stop listening.

Can not recommend higher! It’s a story of power, secrecy, politics, race, Greek life, and investigative reporting on college campuses. All for eps have dropped, so no waiting. Go now!
