On this episode of Broke-ish, Amber and Erika continue their discussion on the signs and implications of fascism and authoritarianism in the U.S., particularly its impact on Black people. Through current events such as Trump's unilateral decision to initiate renovations to the White House, the targeting and criminal prosecution of Black politicians, and the government shut down's disproportionate impact on Black people. We finish out the conversation with the reminder that, although the current political climate lacks civility and refinement, it is very much a continuation of America's history of using state power to brutalize Black people and deny us fundamental fairness. Press play and join the conversation!
