WHEN JUSTICE IS INCONVENIENT

Keith Lee Johnson explores how identity politics, media narratives, and presidential legacy intersect to shape public memory—and public neglect. By dissecting the Obama administration’s contradictions and the complexities of biracial identity, he reveals how Black communities often bear the cost of political decisions. The episode stresses that cases like Shanquella Robinson’s remain unresolved not by accident, but because America has grown comfortable ignoring accountability when it disrupts the preferred storyline.
