Salama, Salama watu wangu! We read Chapter 7 of Blueprint For Black Power - the chapter is called Class, Race and Power in America. Baba Amos breaks down how societies are stratified (separated) according to social class, and how racial stratification intersects with this. The chapter ends with a thorough discussion of how the White American Power Elite prepares its people for power through a myriad of social-cultural institutions, including schools, social clubs, marriage, etc.
Hope you enjoy this one. As ever, the time stamps are below and there should also be a transcript. Peace out for now and see you this Saturday for Chapter 8!
