Episode 565 - The Black Capitalism Trap (w/ Dr. Jared Ball, Paul Prescod, & Q. Anthony Ali)

Last week, a 20 minute debate about the merits of capitalism went mega viral, with Professor Marc Lamont Hill singularly defending socialism against a panel of co-hosts on the popular Joe Budden podcast. The former rapper and other panelists raised common objections to, and misunderstandings of, socialism, and exposed a particular commitment to Black capitalism that leftists must reckon with in order to change public consciousness. To that end, Morgan State professor of Africana & Media Studies & host of the I Mix What I Like! podcast, Dr. Jared Ball, Labor Notes staffer & Jacobin contributing editor Paul Prescod, & independent journalist Q. Anthony Ali join Bad Faith to break it all down. [9:00 AM] Note that YouTube won't allow us to post the clips from Joe Budden podcast.
