Description
It's not news that white folks in power have manipulated and weaponized the interests of Black people to their benefit. It's why oftentimes we see Black folks electing other Black folks into office. But all skin folk ain't kinfolk. It's why knowing the motives and actions of those Black people we elected into office is so important. It's why we have to hold our people accountable. Today Dr. Albert Samuels, an author, elections analyst, and a professor of political science, shares his perspective on what this looks like, and how exactly we can use accountability to better our community.
