Healing Racism and Other Harms of Our Culture w/Jesse Mass

“The systems were designed without love in mind.”

Sean’s Monologue: The Case Against Kamala

In this profound episode of "Coup Save America," host Sean St. Heart delves into the crucial topic of healing the deep-seated racism and other cultural harms that plague our society. Joining him is Jesse Mass (JD), an acclaimed author, and expert in organizational psychology, who shares insights from his latest book, Race for What? A White Man’s Journey & Guide to Healing Racism From Within.

JD's compelling narrative begins with his childhood, shaped by his parents' decision to raise him within the Black community, providing him with a unique perspective on the origins and impacts of racism. His journey takes a fascinating turn as he collaborates with the renowned artist Nelly, where he experiences firsthand the cultural differences in business and legacy building. JD’s path then leads him to a significant community-building initiative focused on health, service, and mutual support.

JD's quest for understanding and dismantling systemic racism propels him into the study of organizational psychology, and his work with white antiracism groups inspires him to create his own programs. These initiatives aim to address and heal the pervasive harms of colonization, racism, and competitive culture.

In the second part of his book, JD introduces his "Seven Steps to Healing," a transformative guide designed to foster cultural change. These steps encourage a deep examination of our emotions, intentions, and psychological developments over centuries, advocating for a shift towards a more humane and inclusive cultural evolution.

JD has taken a step of his own by launching the Same Difference podcast with co-host Kory May. As a white man raised in a black community and a black man raised in a white community, JD and Kory discuss life as they each see it through the prism of race – they celebrate diversity, debunk stereotypes, and showcase the beauty of their differences. 

Join Sean and JD for an enlightening conversation that explores personal stories, historical contexts, and practical steps towards a more just and compassionate society. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to understanding and healing the wounds of our culture.

Coup Save America is a radically left-wing expose on America that uses facts, humor, and intellectual wit to expose the myths surrounding the great western democracy that exists only in the heavily propagandized lore of American history-i-fiction. Each show features in-depth analysis of America’s anti-democratic domestic and foreign policies, a breakdown of the week's news and events that are either ignored or misrepresented by western media, information on the latest crimes emerging from the district of corruption, coverage of the wars and global conflicts being waged unbeknownst to the America people, and a depressingly comedic rundown of the political insanity emanating from both the left and right-wing spectrum.
