Young Black Men Debate the State of America - Divided?

For young Black men, their voices are not often heard, and often times if their voices are head it is typically a soundbite, misconstrued and/or taken out of context.  Additionally, their voices seem to not matter unless it is via music (particularly Hip Hop),  and sports, and even via music and sports, their voices are often dismissed as being irrelevant or less important because they are Black and young.  Why is that? Why is that the given despite their small size in number that much of what everyday people debate in this political climate has some lineage back to Black men - especially young Black men.

On this episode of The Offshoot Podcast, three young Black men join me in a discussion about the state of The United States of America from their perspectives.  Between the three of them there is agreement and disagreement on Black history, the economy, Black families, education, international conflicts, and the current president of The United States of America.  They challenge and correct each other and they support and give solidarity to one another.  It's a dynamic very common in the Black community but seldom ever featured in mainstream media in any format, hence the importance of this episode of The Offshoot Podcast.
