Topic: Black Futures Lab

Alicia Garza is identified as moving away from the Black Lives Matter brand to lead the "Black Futures Lab," which recently conducted a census of 30,000 African Americans. Roland Martin encourages Ice Cube to partner with Garza’s "infrastructure" of lobbyists and policy experts rather than acting alone. The hosts view this as an attempt to co-opt Ice Cube’s independent movement into established, partisan non-profit structures.

Charlamagne Tha God discusses his demands for Joe Biden, which include adopting policies from the Black Futures Lab and Michael Bloomberg's economic agenda. The hosts criticize Charlamagne for asking for a black female Vice President and Supreme Court Justice, calling it "tokenism" and an "ego play" that provides no material benefit to the community in terms of schools, nutrition, or tax status.
