63: We Are People 1

Building Community and the Ratchet-Affluent Divide

Maxine Waters discusses building community by "meeting people where they are." The hosts interpret this as an attempt to bridge the gap between "ratchet" sexualized culture and affluent, educated Black women. They argue that political groups are trying to galvanize Black women as they perceive a loss of support from Black men who are becoming more politically independent.
