Episode 9 | Which Party is Really Racist?

Episode 9 | Which Party is Really Racist?

Race relations are heavily discussed in modern American politics.  In academia and media alike, Republicans are depicted as racist while Democrats are hailed as the party of racial minorities.  However, an analysis of history shows that the Democrats were the party of racism, while Republicans were the party of equality.  Nevertheless, it is frequently taught that the parties switched in the mid-twentieth century by means of a “Southern Strategy” orchestrated by the Republican party.  The historical myth of the Southern Strategy, as well as the current policies on race promoted by both political parties, is explored in this episode of The Ned Ryun Podcast.

Episode 5 | Police Brutality by the Numbers

In the midst of social unrest in recent weeks, a debate has raged in the United States over the role of the police.  Many activists have called for police departments to be defunded or abolished entirely.  Cities such as Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and New York have taken major steps to either defund or abolish their respective police departments.  The notion of systemic racism and violence within police forces has been constantly repeated in the national discourse.  This discussion raises several important questions: Do Americans favor defunding or abolishing the police?  Is racism prevalent in police departments throughout the United States?  What are the most reasonable reforms to police departments that can be pursued?  These questions, and others, are thoroughly discussed in this episode of The Ned Ryun Podcast.

Episode 3 | Antifa: Freedom Fighters or Domestic Terrorists?

Episode 3 | Antifa: Freedom Fighters or Domestic Terrorists?

Over the past several weeks, the United States has been subjected to the most profound social unrest in at least a generation.  In many cases, protests have deteriorated into rioting, looting, and widespread violence.  Both President Trump and Attorney General Barr have placed the blame for this destruction on Antifa, a far-left paramilitary group that uses violence to fight against forces it deems fascist.  While supporters of Antifa claim that these actions are necessary to defeat fascism, detractors argue that such actions are counterintuitive and that the group’s far-left ideology motivates its members to view all political dissidents as fascist.  The answer to this problem is provided in this podcast through an extensive review of the origins, messaging, and recent actions of Antifa.
