They start at the 6 minute mark and they each talk about what’s going on in our country. A lot of them will surprise you with what they said.

Why would it surprise us? I don't have time to listen right now.

Why did you link YouTube if it’s a podcast?

The biggest problem with the current social justice push is the decentralized nature of it. Without a centralized structure there can be no coherent message. So it turns into catch phrases such as "Black Live Matter", "no justice, no peace", "hands up don't shoot" etc etc. These have no real meaning or application.

The voices of reason and progress are drowned out and tribalistic platitudes come to the forefront. I don't think this is by accident but by design.

Agree, somewhat similar to the conservative opposition to Obama pre-2015. Lots of infighting and ideological purity discussions led to low voter turnout in 2012. Hopefully it stays that way for them.

Oh its by accident Hillary was supposed to win, and obuma was going to lead the charge for social justice.

Hell the left were talking about the King taking over the united nations.

King is now worried what AG Barr is going to do.

#5 suggests that reparations are justified and warranted.

I'd like to hear any of them field the question of "how much?" I think they're actually really afraid of that answer because then they'll have to put a price on their heritage, and by them naming a reparation, would shift the accountability back to them.

I’ll second this. It’s a shame that they are shunned on the national stage up to this point.
