Episode 4 - Georgia on Our Mind: Du Bois, AOC, Lowering the Race-First Flag, and Politics without Labels

For Episode 4, A Pod Called Quest uncovers Georgia's dark past, shedding light on W. E. B. Du Bois's insights about why it has as much to do with wealth as with race, and asks whether it's time to lower the race-first flag, eschew politics with labels (right v. left, red staters v. blue staters, democrats v. republicans, urban v. rural, progressives v. conservatives, blacks v. whites) and follow Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)'s lead by zeroing in on economic inequality, housing, healthcare, climate equity, education and other issues that everyday working people care about. The short-term play may be winning 2 U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. The long-term play is building coalitions that unify rather than divide and that empower us to uplift working people and pull American democracy back from the brink.
