49: Brothas Be Voting

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in Political Campaigning

The segment breaks down Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs—ranging from physiological requirements to self-actualization—and how it is being applied to political campaigning. The hosts argue that the Black Male Voter Project is attempting to manipulate Black men's psychology by targeting their basic needs for safety and belonging. They contrast this psychological approach with the simple exchange of "tangibles" for votes.
