Pop the Balloon (Political Edition): Conversations Between Black Men & Women

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum just have one thing to say: the numbers don’t lie–we finally got a poll of Black People y’all!! With guests Terrance Woodbury, Democratic pollster, and Gary Chambers, civil rights advocate and perennial candidate (you might remember his blunt-smoking campaign ad).    One thing the data makes plain: there is a significant difference of values between many Black men and Black women. In a conversation that at times becomes heated, the hosts discuss those differences with their guests.    The data also shows that many Black folks are disillusioned with Democrats. Some are drifting toward the right as a result. How can Democrats adjust their strategy to appeal to the (often disillusioned) Black community? President of HIT Strategies Terrance Woodbury has been conducting the polls and has some crucial answers.    AND we have to cover Trump’s recent executive order that gives the federal government more control over voting registration. If it clears legal challenges, the changes will make it more difficult to register to vote, a classic GOP voter suppression strategy. You can see this strategy playing out right now in Georgia…   And of course we’ll hear from you! The hosts answer questions from a listener inspired by last week’s episode about political lobbyists and donors.    If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.    We are 586 days away from the midterm elections.
