In a recent conversation between Hard Knock Radio host Davey D and Professor/author Tina Bell Wright, a wide range of political and social issues were discussed. The dialogue covered the evolution of fascism in America, the current state of race and power dynamics, and historical examples of Black self-determination. They also explored potential political and social outcomes in the upcoming years, delved into the concept of power and its application in various contexts, and discussed the upcoming Hip Hop Congress Conference. The conversation concluded with concerns about the potential impacts of individuals wielding great power with self-interest and the shifting dynamics of political support.
