Adam Harris

Similarly, why Jasmine Crockett?

And they seem to have an interest in the other candidate, but it was just about that style.

Can you just talk to me a little bit about that?

What is that actually saying?

They're both interested in the policies and the people, but the style is really kind of what's different.

So we've been talking about the Democratic candidates.

Obviously, the primaries are on Tuesday, and you've been watching the Republican side as well.

So what should we be looking out for?

Thank you for listening.

We could win, but we are very, very, very likely to lose if we keep treating this as business as usual.

I think we are witnessing an administration working with an unsettling intensity to attempt to distort, erase, manipulate the history of this country, and within that, manipulate the history of Black Americans' role, contributions.

and experiences in America.

And what I mean by that is I think, you know, let's take slavery, for example.

The president of the United States said that the Smithsonian Museum, for example, spends too much time talking about how bad slavery was.

For me, my sense of things is that it is not the case that this administration

believe slavery didn't happen or not even that they believe that slavery wasn't bad.

I think they understand that it was bad, but what happens is if you talk honestly about the horror and the brutality and the cruelty of what slavery was, you then have to talk about how the residue of that system continues to inform the contemporary landscape of inequality today.

And I think it would fundamentally reorient people's relationship to not only the history of this country, but the contemporary reality of this country.

And that's something that I think that so many folks in this administration want to avoid because they want to be able to tell themselves that the America that they believe to be true, the America that exists today, is one that...

that is the result singularly of people's hard work or deservingness when there's obviously another story to be told there.
