Main Reasons Black Lives Matter Fails (And What We Can Do About It)

The Just Politickin Podcast

In this episode, the Hip Hop Lobbyist and special guest Dame Thad discuss the success and failure of the Black Lives Matter movement since it’s founding in 2012. We start our brief discussion with the importance of having a white person on the frontlines of issues and how beneficial that is to advancing cultural policy issues. We also discuss the impact the hip hop culture and BLM had on the 2016 Presidential race, while highlighting how their efforts are mirroring the “Occupy Wall Street movement” - by not clarifying their policy goals on the campaign trail. In addition, we ask where Black Lives Matter was when A’yanna Allen, a 7-year old in North Carolina, was killed in her sleep after being shot 20 times? How Is Black Lives Matter impacts black relationships with police, African-American’s running for office, reduce black-on-black crime, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, police brutality and its impact on the hip hop community.
