Black (Voting) Bloc with Tami Sawyer

from The Bitchuation Room Hosted by Francesca Fiorentini

It seems like every statue is falling except Jackie Robinson and Paddington Bear. It truly is a new day. So what does the 2020 American civil rights movement mean for November's election and turning out black voters? Black Voters Matter organizer and Memphis county commissioner Tami Sawyer joins Francesca and Nato to hash it out. Plus the double-edged sword of "Veepstakes" and corporate woke-washing on streaming platforms. Does watching The Bodyguard make one an ally? Was Kevin Costner the first white ally? Find out.
