Previous conversations have addressed how the progressive mainstream is failing to offer effective solutions to urban gun violence. In this follow-up episode, Lawrence and Dayvon address some of the reasons why these limitations exist.

They’ll be discussing the nature of the left and what are the ideological and structural reasons why in-depth solutions to gun violence in the Black community get subsumed by more generic universal, long-term solutions to inequality. 

The left's failure to address Black community's immediate material needs for security and self-determination is exposed to be a critical reason why working-class Black voters seem reluctant to vote for leftist candidates.
