51: Civil Wrongs

J. Edgar Hoover, Colorism and the "Chocolate Covered Kennedy"

The hosts discuss J. Edgar Hoover's role in investigating Black leaders and touch on the theory of Hoover's own racial background. They transition to how Barack Obama's political imagery was crafted to mirror JFK, referring to him as a "chocolate covered Kennedy." They note that the Kennedy name has recently faded from political discourse, possibly due to modern scrutiny of his personal life and racial policies.
