Deron Harris Podcast

In this episode of The Deron Harris Podcast, Deron takes a deep dive into the modern evolution of anti-Blackness, exploring how overt racism has morphed into subtle, systemic, and media-driven forms of bias. With clarity and urgency, he unpacks how political strategies, sensational headlines, and algorithmic amplification reinforce fear-based narratives that erode mental health and perpetuate inequality.

Deron connects historical roots like redlining and segregation to present-day propaganda tactics such as emotional priming and repetition, revealing who profits from division, politicians, media corporations, and influencer economies among them. He encourages listeners to fight back through awareness and discipline: diversify their media sources, slow their reactions, regulate their emotions, and critically verify information.

Always insightful and unflinchingly honest, Deron calls for mental resilience and mindful media consumption as tools to deprogram internalized bias and build collective consciousness one listener at a time.

 Thank you for listening to The DERON HARRIS PODCAST Season #5 EP #201 - IS IT JEALOUSY??? - Why White People Always Resort To Racism, Hate, and Dehumanization of Black People and Our Excellence, Bad Bunny, and The Super Bowl.

In this episode of the podcast, I dive into two major topics that have been on my mind. First, I express my excitement about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl, highlighting the importance of representation and the diverse cultures that make up America. I emphasize that America is a melting pot, and it's crucial to acknowledge and celebrate all its facets, especially those that are often overlooked.

The second part of the episode addresses a troubling incident involving a meme posted on Truth Social that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. I discuss the racist implications of this imagery and the historical context behind it, emphasizing how such dehumanization is a reflection of deeper societal issues, including jealousy, fear, and a threatened identity among certain groups. I call for everyone, not just marginalized communities, to stand up against this kind of hate and to recognize the ongoing struggle against racism in America.

Throughout the episode, I also touch on the importance of mental health and encourage listeners to seek help if they need it.

Thank you for listening to The DERON HARRIS PODCAST Season #5 EP #199 - WE KNOW YOU BETTER THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELVES - Why Some White People Think They're Experts On Blackness

In this episode of the podcast, I dive into a topic that has been on my mind lately: why some white people believe they are experts on black culture and blackness. I share a personal experience with a friend who, despite his good intentions, tried to quiz me on black history and culture, revealing a disconnect between our lived experiences.

I emphasize the importance of recognizing that knowledge of blackness cannot be derived solely from textbooks or the media; it comes from lived experience within the black community. I discuss how whiteness has historically been positioned as the default authority, leading to a false sense of expertise among some white individuals.

Throughout the episode, I highlight the systemic issues that contribute to this mindset, including control masquerading as knowledge, media distortion, and the discomfort of not being centered in conversations about race. I stress that proximity to black culture does not equate to understanding it, and I encourage listeners to recognize the value of black voices and experiences.

I also touch on the significance of mental health awareness, sharing my own struggles and encouraging anyone feeling overwhelmed to seek help. As I wrap up, I remind my audience that true expertise comes from listening and engaging with the black community, rather than assuming authority based on privilege or entitlement.

Thank you for joining me this week, and I hope you take away some valuable insights from our discussion. Until next time, stay proud of who you are and keep the conversation going. Peace!

Thanks for listening to The DERON HARRIS PODCAST Season #5 EP #198 - IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING SOON AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT WILL DIE  - The Slippery Slope Of The American Demise, Are You Ready?

Welcome to The DERON HARRIS PODCAST Season #5 EP #197 - BLOOD ON OUR HANDS - Now Americans Being Killed In The Streets Protecting People From ICE,  The New American Thugs.

In this episode, Deron addresses two significant and controversial topics affecting the United States: the recent invasion of Venezuela and a tragic incident involving an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Deron begins by checking in on the mental health of his listeners, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and sharing his own experiences with therapy and medication for his mental health struggles.

As he looks into the first topic, Deron expresses his outrage over the U.S. intervention in Venezuela, criticizing the government's motives and the lack of accountability for the violence inflicted on innocent people. 80 to 100 people were killed. He argues that the invasion is driven by a desire for control over Venezuela's vast oil reserves rather than genuine concern for the country's citizens. Deron highlights the hypocrisy of the U.S. claiming to fight drug trafficking while ignoring the domestic drug issues that persist.

Transitioning to the second topic, Deron discusses the fatal shooting of a young woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, condemning the actions of law enforcement and the systemic racism that underlies such incidents. He expresses frustration over the lack of accountability and the harsh labeling of victims, questioning the narrative pushed by authorities.

Throughout the episode, Deron passionately critiques the current state of America, lamenting the division and oppression he believes pervade society. He calls out those who voted for policies that have led to these issues, urging listeners to reflect on the consequences of their choices. The episode concludes with Deron thanking his supporters and encouraging listeners to stay aware and engaged in the fight for justice and equality.

Thank you for listening to The DERON HARRIS PODCAST Season #4 EP #195 - YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGISE FOR BEING WHITE ANYMORE, BUT NOBODY EVER ASKED YOU TO - If I were White, I would Stop Listening To White People.

In this episode of the Deron Harris Podcast, host Deron discusses a recent statement made by the Vice President regarding white people no longer needing to apologize for their race. Deron expresses confusion over who has been demanding such apologies, asserting that it is not the Black community. He emphasizes that white people are not victims in America and critiques the notion of white victimhood as a fabricated grievance.

Deron shares his personal experiences with depression during the holiday season and encourages listeners to seek help if they are struggling. He then dives into the main topic, challenging the idea that white people face systemic oppression. He argues that the discomfort some white individuals feel when confronted with discussions about race is not true victimhood but rather a reaction to being held accountable for historical injustices.

Throughout the episode, Deron calls out the tendency of some white people to claim victimhood when faced with criticism, labeling it as entitlement rather than oppression. He stresses the importance of acknowledging historical facts and engaging in uncomfortable conversations to foster understanding and progress. Deron concludes by urging all listeners, regardless of race, to stand against racism and support one another in the fight for equality.

He begins by sharing a personal experience that left him feeling angry and down, emphasizing the importance of mental health and seeking help when needed.

Deron discusses a documentary titled "The Perfect Neighbor," which recounts a tragic incident in Florida where a white woman shot and killed a Black mother, highlighting the dangerous consequences of white women's exaggerated victimhood. He stresses that while not all white women engage in this behavior, a significant number do, and it perpetuates a harmful cycle that endangers Black individuals.
