How the US constitution stole black wealth
from The Dr Boyce Breakdown · host Dr Boyce Watkins
Today in the Dr Boyce Book Club, we discuss how the US Constituion has rarely presented itself as a friend to black people who are seeking wealth vs symbolism in a fundamentally racist society. Close examination will reveal that black wealth has barely budged since we were freed from slavery. This isn't going to change until we understand the difference between real economic progress vs simply receiving more opportunities for black people to work for white people. I discuss the Constitution's role in the theft of black wealth over the past 150 years by reading directly from the book "Powernomics" by Dr Claud Anderson.
