The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power, The Two Party Systems, and Building Better Politics With Dr Jared Ball

Today’s Show is with Dr Jared Ball he  is a Professor of Communication and Africana Studies at Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD. and author of The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power he is also host of the podcast “iMiXWHATiLiKE!”, he can be found @imixwhatilike on most social media, and his decades of emancipatory journalism, media, writing, and political work can be found at imixwhatilike.org.   If this podcast is about people whose ideas and work influence me and my Campaign, Dr Jared Ball has to be involved. His Academic and Political work is foundational to the work of this campaign. He ran a Green Party campaign for President that informs a lot of why I think the Green Party needs to be a healthy part of multiparty democracy, or as Rosa Clemente put it “The Green Party isn’t the alternative. It’s the imperative.”  .  Beyond that he has created and  shared political and advocacy space with at least 5 guests we have interviewed in this season. From in-depth interviews with Nnamdi Lumumba about the role of Independent Black Workers Parties, to frequent thoughtful exchanges with Lawrence Grandpre and Dayvon Love of Leaders a Beautiful Struggle, to discussions of Campus Labor organizing with Andrew Eneim and a regular show with Renee Johnston Dr Ball’s work is connected and constructive of the politics this campaign is working to build.    Besides that, he works at Morgan State University, which is right here in our amazing part of Northeast Baltimore!   Links Book Discussion With Lawrence Grandpre and Dayvon Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMObmAbNBSU   Hip-Hop and the Green Party: Jared Ball and Rosa Clemente Were Right by Shamako Noblehttps://imixwhatilike.org/2012/10/04/hip-hop-and-the-green-party-jared-ball-and-rosa-clemente-were-right-by-shamako-noble/   Saturdays With Renee  https://www.youtube.com/live/7OmySI8mcN0?si=DuoFQTbUIDSR70_S   ImixwhatIlike.org https://imixwhatilike.org/   YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@BlackPowerMedia   The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power https://imixwhatilike.org/2023/05/19/mobp/   I am very excited to Welcome Dr. Jared Ball of Morgan State University!
