Black Lives Don't Matter to Corporations, 'Cancellations' & the History of Policing w/Eugene Puryear

While Abby is still on break, Robbie Martin brings onto the podcast activist and journalist Eugene Puryear to discuss the many contradictions intertwined in the ongoing debate about race solidarity and the Black Lives Matter movement. Eugene separates the cynical corporate 'solidarity' from its revolutionary core and examines how elites have seized on the concept of 'cancel culture' to play victim. In the second half of the episode, Eugene breaks down the history of white supremacy in American policing. Thanks for listening!
