43: Black Inc.

Political Definition of Blackness, George Zimmerman, and Licensing

Patrice Cullors defines "Black" as both a race and a political framework, suggesting that the U.S. power structure "turns groups white" when convenient. The hosts point out the irony of Cullors labeling George Zimmerman as "white-passing" despite his Hispanic heritage. They discuss the monetization of the "Black" brand by corporations and the potential trademarking of the movement's terminology.
