The State of the Union Address

from Black Politics Today · host Black Politics Today

The State of Virginia found itself in an unforeseen position of discovering that their newly elected Governor Ralph Northam had either posed as, or allowed the picture of two white men, one in blackface and the other in a Klu Klux Klan robe and hood, to be placed in his Medical School yearbook.  The idea of the sitting Governor posing either in blackface or as a KKK member is appalling and unfortunate.  After 35 days under a Trump induced government shutdown and the discovery of additional Russian interference and connection to the Trump campaign, tomorrow evening, Donald Trump will speak to the nation in his second SOTU Address, prime off his induced government shutdown Add to that, the change in policies that Trump and his administration have implemented in there first two years, the question now becomes, what exactly can or will Donald Trump say is the State of the Union?  To discuss that with us tonight, is Ralph Chittams, GOP Political Strategist, Chairman and Executive Director of Urban Red. Urban Red’s mission is to find a Conservative candidates to run for local office in no more than 25 of the largest urban cities. Also, Democratic Political Strategist and BPT Analyst Rebekah Caruthers. Rebekah is a political and government relations professional and has worked on projects and political campaigns in nearly every region of the United States. And returning is Minister Jason Crosby, a native of Louisville, KY, has worked as a community organizer with the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice,  and is also a leader with EmpowerWest, a group of white/black pastors with a vision to empower West Louisville, through education and economic development programs.
