Modernity and Absurdity-Episode 3-Bernie and #BlackLivesMatter (with Prof. Flavio Hickel Jr.)

Modernity and Absurdity with Christian Perez

In this episode we delve into the supposed disconnect between the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign and the Black Lives Matter movement. Profesor Hickel states that to imply that Bernie Sanders was tone deaf to issues regarding African Americans is dishonest. By focusing on Sanders, it let's Hillary Clinton, the perceived Democratic front runner off of the hook. We get into third party politics and whether or not progressives should pull the Democratic Party further to the left. There's even a little talk of Trump at the end. Because we couldn't help ourselves. Have Republicans jumped the shark?
