Summary

Carl and Todd welcome a returning guest: Ismael Hernandez. He’s the executive director of the Freedom and Virtue Institute and author of Not Tragically Colored. Ismael joins in to discuss the current state of racial tension and politics in America. His experience growing up with Marxist ideals, and--later in life—joining a religious Marxist group gives Hernandez special insight into the topic. Although we uphold the dignity and sacredness of every human life and want to affirm that black lives matter, Ismael suggests that the movement known as “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) harbors some troubling beliefs. Hernandez refers to his recent article which asserts BLM perceives the issue of oppression from within the ideological context of Marxism. Don’t miss this timely conversation! Show Notes · Listen again to Not Tragically Colored · Freedom and Virtue Institute · “BLM”: the Proposition, the Organization, and the Movement by Ismael Hernandez · Social Justice Isn’t What You Think It Is by Michael Novak and Paul Adams

1:11.9	Shenandoah Valley. And today we have a returning guest. It's good to have this person on,
1:20.0	though the context in which he comes on is depressing, if you like. It's depressing that it's
1:26.7	going to be useful to hear from this individual again.
1:29.4	His name is Ismail Hernandez.
1:32.2	He's the executive director of the Freedom and Virtue Institute and author of a book that we

1:42.1	And we've asked Ismail to come on today to talk about the current state
1:47.2	of racial tension and politics in the United States, particularly as it's jelling around
1:54.4	the organization and the concepts being advocated by Black Lives Matter. So great to have you on
2:00.7	the program, Ismail.
2:02.2	Thank you. Thank you for having me. It's a question to be hearing you all. It's lovely to have
2:06.3	you back on. Perhaps we might kick off by asking you just to give our audience, some of whom
2:13.0	will be listening from elsewhere, won't be in America, to give us a sort of a brief overview
