Election 2020 And Black Political Leadership, The Black Athlete And Black Identity, And Learning Racism Over Dinner | ITBP S4E19

In this weeks episode we are joined by Dr. James Jones, professor of African American studies at Prairie View University.  He helps to discuss why Black athletes feel compelled to separate themselves from their Blackness to be seen as marketable.  We argue the benefits of discussing racism over dinner, and whether the whole experience is worth $2500.  And with Mayor Mike Bloomberg making his debate stage debut in Nevada, we ask is all the money he’s given Black politicians working, and what is the current state of Black political leadership.  All that and much more.

Informed.  Intelligent.  In the Black!
