Episode 64: We Saw It Coming: Why the Insurrection Didn’t Surprise Black America
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss the insurrection that took place at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and why it was not a surprise to Black America given the history of white uprisings in the United States. We also give updates on SoHo Karen and the packages that we're still waiting for the post office to deliver.
