Summary

Stacey Abrams burned a Georgia flag that had the image of the confederacy on it. My friend Marcus Ferrell put it brilliantly: Anyone that has an issue with this was never going to support her.

Welcome to today's podcast. I had every intention of releasing a new video today, but that video is going to have to wait

1:14.3

as I kind of grapple with a really big topic of black Christianity being used to make and keep black people docile in response to white supremacy.
