We talk with Professor Willie Legette, political analyst, as to how we might resolve the conflicts and problems of voting for who we "like", votes that are often divorced from policies that address our political, economic, and community needs. Are we voting electoral race politics and needing class-basis policies? Just how does the "Black vote" calculate?
A whole new way of thinking is required. That and a "resistance campaign" against voter suppression.
Every period of our history has taught America something about its own failings, and us about the righteousness of our struggle. Without Black struggle Americans would not be faced with ideals of democracy.
