  Trey’s Table Episode 452: Race, Islam, and Politics 06.08.2026 30dk

  When the next Congress is sworn in, the House of Representatives is projected to have zero Black Republican members—a shift driven by retirements, state race pivots, and primary losses like that of Michigan candidate Amir Hassan. In our latest episode of Trey’s Table, we break down what happened in Michigan’s 8th District, how primary voters reacted to Hassan’s background, and why a political monopoly on any community’s vote leaves voters overlooked or taken for granted.

  Trey’s Table Episode 450: Sam and Dave 25.07.2026 34dk

  Behind the glitz, the glamour, and the platinum records of the music industry lies a hidden history of exploitation. 🎶 In our latest episode, we dive deep into the legendary soul duo Sam & Dave—their meteoric rise, their unforgettable hits like "Soul Man," and the predatory contracts that left them fighting for the wealth their art created. But this isn't just a story about the past. We trace the line from the predatory "recoupable expenses" of the 1960s to how modern icons like Beyoncé, and director Ryan Coogler have completely rewritten the script to take control of their own intellectual property and ownership. True freedom means owning your masters and your narrative. 👉 Click the link in the bio to listen to the new episode now! #TreysTable #SamAndDave #BlackHistory #MusicHistory #Beyonce #RyanCoogler #SinnersMovie #PodcastsOfInstagram #BlackCreatives

  Trey’s Table Episode 447 The Fourth Amendment and Race 26.06.2026 20dk

  Real Talk, Deep History: Race and the Fourth Amendment 📜⚖️ What does "reasonableness" look like under the law? For decades, courts applied an objective standard that completely ignored a person's identity. But this week, a groundbreaking Supreme Court decision in Dante Carter's case changed everything. Our latest episode of Trey’s Table dives deep into the powerful intersection of constitutional law, race, and the police. We break down Carter's initial arrest, the legal battle over his motion to suppress evidence, and the Trump Justice Department's attempt to overturn his victory. Most importantly, we celebrate a massive win for civil rights: the Supreme Court’s denial to review the case means the ruling stands. The law must finally recognize that a person's race profoundly shapes their interactions with law enforcement. Inside This Episode: The Myth of the "Reasonable Person": Why an objective standard fails Black men. The Power of Suppression: How defense attorneys hold law enforcement accountable. A Win Against the Odds: How Dante Carter's victory survived a Supreme Court challenge. The Dissent: Inside Justice Alito and Thomas’s pushback. 🎧 Listen now to "Trey's Table" on your favorite podcast platform! How do you feel about the court finally acknowledging that race factors into how a person experiences a police encounter? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

  Trey’s Table Episode 446: Black People Can Swim 24.06.2026 22dk

  Did you know that according to USA Swimming, over 64% of African American children have low to no swimming ability? Even more tragic, Black children between the ages of 5 and 19 are six times more likely to drown in a swimming pool than their white peers. These numbers aren't a coincidence, a stereotype, or a genetic trait. They are the direct result of a calculated, generational history of systemic racism, segregation, and violence. In the latest episode of Trey’s Table, we dive deep into the waters of American history to uncover how municipal pools became one of the most violent battlegrounds for civil rights—and how that legacy impacts Black communities today. #treystablepodcast
