51: Civil Wrongs

Glenn Ford, Black Agenda Report and the Kennedy Myth

Glenn Ford of the Black Agenda Report explains that the Democratic lock on the Black vote was not "magic" but a calculated move by the Kennedys. Ford argues that the Kennedys were not quintessential liberals and initially saw the Civil Rights Movement as a nuisance. The hosts discuss how both modern parties take the Black vote for granted, similar to the Republicans in the 1950s.
