We Gotta Get Political
Episode description
Today we are getting political with the Presidential Election less than 100 days away it's time to get engaged. Sam talks about his personal experiences with Congressman John Lewis. We talk about being more involved and also talk about how black men in the political arena are threatening. We discuss Everton Blair's situation with the Gwinnett County School Board where another (white) board member whispers to the superintendent and says she wish she could strangle Everton Blair (black) board member. We discuss how being black in politics can clearly be a dangerous game and also discuss some ways we can start participating locally to help out our communities and the people that look like us. We discuss black Political Action Committees and how we may be able to leverage them in order to get our policies passed. We gotta get political.
