Episode description
In this Black Thought of the Day segment on Rhetorically Speaking, Dr. Phillip Roundtree challenges the idea of approved resistance. Is a protest still a protest if it’s curated by the oppressor? From Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance to the commodification of Black activism, this episode dives deep into the ways white supremacy extracts value from Black artistry while ensuring it never truly disrupts the system. Tune in for an unfiltered take on performance vs. real risk, the legacy of Black radicalism, and what we should really be questioning.
