Every day is racism for black people. Most people are not open-minded to understand racism, nor are most people open to believing in racism. Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts serves two purposes. One, education in discrimination. Two, a platform to talk about racism. Dive in with me to learn the history and the hypocrisy of those who don't believe racism exists. We will look at current events involved with racism as well. Let's have an uncomfortable conversation.

Barack Obama and the Contradiction of Compassion and Control

In this episode of Deportation Nation, Darren Watts examines the complex and often conflicting immigration legacy of President Barack Obama.

While Obama gave hope to millions through DACA and compassionate rhetoric, he also oversaw a record number of deportations, expanding enforcement programs like Secure Communities and strengthening the very systems later weaponized by his successors.

Darren explores how political pressure, racial double standards, and structural racism shaped Obama’s limitations—and why “good intentions” aren’t always enough.
