The "Stroll to the Polls" initiative, led by members of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) and other Divine Nine sororities, aims to mobilize Black voters for the Biden-Harris ticket. Mo Fax criticizes the "cringe-worthy" nature of using traditional Greek strolling for political campaigning. He characterizes this as "Boule for Biden," where elite Black organizations act as gatekeepers for the Democratic establishment.
The hosts discuss how "Blackness" has been branded by Madison Avenue and the media, from Blaxploitation films to modern corporate support for BLM. They examine the dominance of "Boule" sorority members in media panels, such as those on Atlanta's 11 Alive, which Mo Fax argues creates an "in-crowd" that excludes non-aligned Black voices. They suggest Joe Biden is being used as a temporary tool to establish a Black woman in the presidency.
A 1928 letter from a Howard University student exposed the practice of color discrimination within black fraternities and sororities. The "paper bag test" was used to exclude students whose skin was darker than a brown paper bag. This institutionalized colorism within historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) created a hierarchy that favored light-skinned elites, such as those in the Boule.
