Oh the dialogue is good, real good. This part of the podcast started off with Antwan "Ish" Marby (Cohost) leading his argument w/ Dr. Umar about how there really is no Democrats v. Republicans because they both don’t care about Blacks and simply use different tactics to garner our votes—which everyone was in agreement with.
He then attempted to use that point to connect with the fact that because of this, he believes the bigger issue at hand in America was class not race. Dr. Umar proceeds to quickly deliver a rebuttal to this belief, by highlighting how other races/ethnicities have been weaponized to stifle & undermine Black progression and how White privilege is still an advantage even in the face of poverty or economic inequality. He reiterates that in America, race trumps everything.
