Bougie Black Brother

Do you know your local representatives and should you care?

We ask the question, do you know who represents you and instead of complaining. what are you doing. We discuss the areas we live and and our experiences with the area representatives in the city and counties. oddly, we’re not doing enough.

Where are the black leaders (1960's - 2020)?

This week we have different conversation about leadership in the black community compared to the 60’s and now. Has activism changed based on the people or is it because of social media and the class divide among African Americans?

      

Is the United States already separated by culture, race and geography?

We finally find information that Chaz has been talking about for a while. The nation is separated and not only by our political views but our cultures that makes people see things differently.  We discover some things from Business insider about the 11 different nations within the United States that has certain views about how they live.  We debate the validity as well as some revelations about areas we haven't been to.

 

Voter differences by gender, race, geographical region

The team breaks off and debates about perception with cultural differences when it comes to voters.  The team breaks up about the NATO leaders roasting the president when he wasn’t there. Can we really rely on any of the democrats to show up strong enough to challenge Trump but in turn normalize the country to get back to normalcy. really?? Big up to E for giving us the blueprint for changing Georgia to Blue. Virginia!!!

  

How do we address all voters (rural, suburban, major cities)

The team drifts off into a sensitive subject about voters, people and citizens that wants to get their voices heard but unfortunately the democrats are following the old script of hitting the major cities (high population) and ignoring rural areas that helped to get Trump in office. lively discussion on where we should spend our time and effort. Or should we?

 

#Metoo and Religion / Children in Cages (the immigration dilemma)

The team finishes up our discussion with immigration and how institutions have been hiding undertake guise of religion to take advantage of women as well as keep women in subordinate positions based on religious doctrine.  We go back historically with immigration to bring in perspective of what our country has done in the past as well as what our needs are for today.

  

 

Women in the Primaries and whats up with the Media?

The guys come back together to rant about the media not having the guts to ask the hard questions and why are they still fearful of their jobs at the Whitehouse?  We jump into the amazing pursuit by women to gain political office to make the changes instead of waiting for Change.
