What is tokenism? Where do we see it? What's so bad about it? In today's episode we discuss these questions and more as we relate the concept of tokenism to Joe Biden's choosing Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 Presidential election. The jazz audio clip in our intro is from www.bensounds.com and the audio in our ad is Nobody by Walter Wanderley. We hope you enjoyed this episode, thank you for listening! Before you go, we leave you with the Malcolm X quote: “You don't stick a knife in a man's back nine inches and then pull it out six inches and say you're making progress ... No matter how much respect, no matter how much recognition, whites show towards me, as far as I am concerned, as long as it is not shown to everyone of our people in this country, it doesn't exist for me.”
