Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University, Dr. CBS, returns to Bad Faith to discuss the contraversy around Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half time performance and the limits of revolutionary art, the increasingly heated Jasmine Crockett/James Talarico Texas Senate primary & what everyone gets wrong about the viability of Black candidates, Trump's "Lion King" tweet featuring the Obama's as apes, & the latest attempt by Ezra Klein-stye centrists to brand their deregulatory agenda as a winning path forward for the Democratic Party -- a new "pro growth" political group called Next America Era.
