50: Class Action

Black Nationalism, Malcolm X and Community Control

Malcolm X's 1963 speech on Black Nationalism emphasizes that Black communities should control their own politics and politicians. He argues that Black voters constitute a strategic block that can determine the outcome of close elections. The hosts apply this to the 2020 election, suggesting that Black men are becoming a decisive factor that both parties must address with specific "tangibles."

Malcolm X and the Vibe of the Streets

A 1963 clip of Malcolm X is used to illustrate the long-standing frustration and "explosive atmosphere" in urban streets. The hosts criticize modern figures like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for using the "Sharpton-Jackson model" to profit from the suffering of the poor while failing to solve the underlying problems.
