From Radicals To Ruling Class w/ Adolph Reed Jr

COINTELPRO, Ford Foundation funding, and performative politics. How effective was the Black Power Movement of the 60's and 70's. We often talk of the 50 Year Counterrevolution of the Ruling Class. Here is one of the many questions asked of Adolph Reed, Jr. by Black Agenda Report Pascal Robert. Political Scientist Adolph Reed, Jr. has been writing about Black politics and Black political thought for over four decades. Having been an activist in the 60s as well as a long time labor organizer, his scholarship has persistently challenged orthodox thinking regarding Black political activity. Some of his classic works such as "Class Notes: Posing as Politics and Other Thoughts on the American Scene," and "Stirrings in the Jug: Black Politics in the Post Segregation Era," have set the standard for discussing the contemporary realities of Black political life. Today we will inquire of Adolph Reed, Jr., "Does Black Politics Work for Black People, and if not why?" You can find much of Dr. Reed's work here: https://muckrack.com/adolph-reed/arti...
