Episode notes

I think we have to stoprefainment and ask them to move in addition to reasons that they've already riht, so that those reasons still exist. And having got the political power, because there's an argument going on in lots of countries, including the one where i am physically right now. I'm in the city of legos in nigeria for the next 24 hours.

In this week's episode Charles Blow speaks to journalist Dele Olojede about the arguments in his new book The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto. He argued that if enough African-Americans move south, the demographic balance in the Southern States will be tipped in favour of Black voters and politicians. His new home state of Georgia – he practises what he preaches and left Brooklyn for Atlanta – recently voted for a Democrat presidential candidate and two Democratic Senate candidates, one of whom became the first Black senator in the state’s history. The growing African-American population in Georgia was pivotal in these votes, Blow believes.
