49: Brothas Be Voting

Vernon Jones and the Heritage of Slavery

Georgia State Representative Vernon Jones delivers a speech at the RNC criticizing the Democratic Party for pandering with Kente cloths while failing to deliver results. The hosts compare his "presidential" delivery to a 1968 documentary clip where a white man describes Black people as "superior pets." They argue that the Democratic establishment still views Black voters through this lens of "benign neglect" and psychological management.

The White Liberal as a Political Football

Malcolm X's critique of the "white liberal" is presented, where he argues that liberals use black people as pawns in a political game against conservatives. The hosts link this to modern "tokenism," such as Democratic leaders wearing Kente cloth in the Capitol. Moe mentions a Twitter interaction where a producer created a "Kente cloth MAGA hat" to troll the Democrats.
