"May God Write Us Down As Asses" - A Conversation about Socialism and Third Parties

"May God Write Us Down As Asses" - A Conversation about Socialism and Third Parties

Welcome to the first episode of Black Like Vanilla. Home for Black conversations, outside the simulation. Today's guest is Ramsey Robinson, member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Join us as we discuss COVID & mental health, gas prices, Russia/Ukraine, and a 100 year old WEB DuBois quote, saying that god should write us (Black Americans) down as asses if we are ever to put our faith in the democratic or republican parties again. Y'all ready to get uncomfortable? Let's go! visit www.blacklikevanilla.com for more! While Black Like Vanilla is not endorsing the Party for Socialism and Liberation, I do support educating the masses to other options. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have the best interest of Black Americans at heart. It is up to us to take back our power and that comes with exploring our options.
