In this episode of Heathers on Culture, Malveaux and Fleming explore surveillance as a racial practice rooted in white supremacy, not just technology. Drawing on James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, they trace how surveillance masks itself as concern or professionalism while controlling Black life, from slavery to modern workplaces and policing, and why Black joy remains a powerful refusal to be watched.
