A Spontaneous Conversation During a Test

The US has an ugly history.  It is filled with war, genocide, rape, theft, slavery and deceit.  While much of the world believes nations should be made whole after misdeeds, the US looks the other way.  Because much of those misdeeds have been aimed at black people around the world and the conversation has not been thoroughly addressed by government or corporations, a culture of hopelessness and despair hangs over the heads of many in the black community. 

Is it possible to rise up from ashes to be powerful? 

When it comes to any traumatic event, it is better to address it.  Sweeping it under the rug will eventually cause people to hold resentment. 

The black community is now filled with hopelessness, despair and resentment.  When you bring up the idea of power of any kind, it appears no one wants to have that discussion.  In the US, it is power that makes the policies that govern you life.  With out it, you are unlikely to be invited to the table. 

Now there is a paradox.  People demand they be invited to the decision making table.  Yet, no one wants to devise strategies to acquire the power required to be seated at the table.  How does that power look once acquired?  How do you acquire it?  Is it only a matter of having enough money?  Or is there something that happens before the money is made?  Or is it better to build your own table and demand legislators sit down and listen?   

These and many more questions have to be asked and answered.  In one of the most provocative shows, we are going to discuss the undiscussable.  Power!  Join us.
