In this episode, Deron dives into a thought-provoking question that arose during a conversation with friends: "If white people hate black people so much, why don't they just leave us alone?" This question sparked a deep discussion about the complexities of race relations, cultural appropriation, and systemic oppression.
Deron starts by emphasizing the importance of mental health and encourages listeners to seek help if they're struggling. Then, the discussion transitioned into the main topic, reflecting on recent events where Black individuals celebrated their achievements, only to face backlash from some white individuals. This led us to explore the historical context of systemic oppression that has targeted black communities, from slavery to contemporary issues like mass incarceration and educational inequities.
Throughout the episode, Deron highlights the contradictions in how black culture is both celebrated and disrespected. Discusses the phenomenon of cultural appropriation, where white individuals and corporations profit from black creativity without acknowledging its origins. Deron also shares personal experiences of racial profiling and the ongoing challenges faced by black people in various aspects of life, including economic disenfranchisement and social justice.
Deron argues that the resistance to black success is rooted in a desire to maintain power and control, rather than a simple hatred. I call for unity among marginalized communities and urge listeners to confront these issues head-on. The episode concludes with a call to action for all individuals, especially white allies, to recognize their role in dismantling systemic racism and to support black voices and initiatives.
Overall, this episode is a candid exploration of the complexities of race, culture, and the ongoing struggle for equality, encouraging listeners to engage in meaningful conversations and actions towards change.

Deron Harris Podcast
The Deron Harris Podcast is where raw honesty, sharp humor, and creative hustle meet. Hosted by Deron Harris, stand-up comic, music producer, and relentless content creator. Broadcasting from his RV, Deron's goes far beyond punchlines, delivers unfiltered takes on race, politics, pop culture, and the realities of being Black in America, with real laughs, and unfiltered moments.
Each episode is a wild ride: one week it’s a deep dive into the legacy of slavery and Deron’s own DNA revelations, the next it’s a no-holds-barred breakdown of the latest political controversy or a celebration of Black excellence in music and business. Expect controversial conversations, bold advocacy for people of color, and a willingness to tackle topics most shy away from, whether it’s the impact of Project 2025, the state of Black-owned businesses, or the blurred lines between truth and fiction in American culture.
But it’s not all heavy. Tune in for plenty of laughs with Deron’s family and friends. Whether he’s calling out hypocrisy, making beats, or just riffing on the weirdness of social media, Deron keeps it real, keeps it creative, and keeps it moving.
