A Tale of Two White Men

from The Sound of Black and Brown · host Black and Brown United in Action

Just like you we have been dealing with climate change, and maybe you saw the back and forth between New Haven’s current Democratic Mayor and his RepubliKKKan opponent. Does it really pay to switch sides? From New Haven to the Capital of the United States, white men are battling for ‘democracy’, who pays in this fight? Where is democracy when someone switches sides? Does that impact voting or does it distract from progress? Why does this country, from the city, to the state, struggle with progress? What will it take for Black and Brown people to have confidence, represent and support themselves? Can we restore hope in the vote? “Control in modern times requires more than force, more than law. It requires that a population dangerously concentrated in cities and factories, whose lives are filled with cause for rebellion, be taught that all is right as it is. And so, the schools, the churches, the popular literature taught that to be rich was a sign of superiority, to be poor a sign of personal failure, and that only way upward for a poor person was to climb into the ranks of the rich by extraordinary effort and extraordinary luck” (‘A People's History of The United States’, Howard Zinn).
