BE THE PEOPLE show

Summary: Our destinies as Americans are intertwined. When Black America sneezes, White America gets a cold. In this episode, we discuss the formation of the Congressional Black Caucus and the NACCP and their connection to the hopelessness and misery found in many black communities. My guest, Burgess Owens, a former NFL player for the Jets and Oakland Raiders explains "It's Not White Supremacists, It's Black Elitist".<br> In fact, one could argue that black political power, as exercised by current Democratic Party leaders, has had a negative impact on the flourishing of black communities while the leaders have enriched themselves by benefiting from private and public largesse. <br> For Further Insight:<br> Burgess Owens Website: http://burgessowenstalks.com/<br> Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BurgessOwens<br> Article about the Congressional Black Caucus: https://thewashingtonstandard.com/the-new-crooked-congressional-black-caucus/<br> <br> Burgess Owens Books: Why I Stand (2018) and Liberalism or How to Turn Good Men into Whiners, Weenies and Whimps (2016)
