Hood Politics with Prop

Sometimes you drop your car off to the homie to fix the small squeak on your brakes. Now all of a sudden, the brakes are worse and the air conditioner don't work.

Recently, Ghana put forth a UN resolution to publicly condemn the enslavement of millions of Africans in the transatlantic slave trade. It passed 123-3. The US, Argentina and Israel voted against it and almost all of Europe abstained from voting. This is yet another reminder that America still refuses to self reflect. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphop See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trump administration spent the last year calling all of Europe and NATO lil scary, no hands-having suckers. And now he says he needs help in the Straight of Hormuz, for which NATO says, "Naw fam! Keep that same energy!" --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphop See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You might have noticed, as Kristi Noem gets removed from her position, that Trump is just letting all these women go out in front and take all the bullets for him. It may come off like he’s hiring a bunch of women and putting them in powerful positions, but he’s actually putting them in impossible positions and making them take the fall for him. These women are participating in their own subjugation. From one marginalized people group to another...you gotta know when you being pimped. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphop See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well obviously there's been a change of plans, because apparently we're at war with Iran. We briefly touch on this reality and how we got here. Then we move on to the domestic issue of tariffs. Finally, while they still not invited to the bbq, the SCOTUS did hand Trump the biggest L of his term. Imma break it down.

A clip went around social media last week of a kid at his high school in Illinois shouting about how he's pro-ICE durning an anti-ICE protest. In comes another kid saying "I'm going to punch you" and then he does just that. I'm not so much interested in the veracity of that story in as much as what it means to stoke violence, then hide behind the law. The pro-ICE kid that's filming says "If you punch me, you'll get in trouble..." So be it. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphop See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reaction formation is a post-Freudian defense mechanism that comes up when a person feels, whether real or imagined, a sense of rejection and, rather than acknowledging the feeling, tells themselves that they didn't want the thing they requested in the first place. Since the Turning Point halftime show was neither Christian, wholesome or better than the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, one has to wonder, besides good old fashioned racism, what is actually going on in their minds and hearts to even feel the need to have their own performance? --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophiphop See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
