The Wildcard Speaks Ep. 4: Black In Reality
In this mini episode I talk about Lebron James' contributions to the current movement and what he's done in the past to speak out. Never shy or ashamed, Lebron James stands his ground on what he believes in no matter what.  I also discuss the 1965 debate between James Baldwin and William Buckley at Cambridge University concerning whether the American Dream is at the expense of African Americans. A question that, according the Baldwin, can only be answered based on the reality you serve.  Links: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/companies-donating-black-lives-matter/ http://www.morethanavote.org/ Please Donate!
