Capitalism

Wow! What a breakdown of how capitalism never truly existed in its true form in America. This is the history they are trying to erase- not black history! The history of the created thing called “whiteness” and its subsequent exploitation. Good work!

MUCH NEEDED !!! BRAVO 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I’ve read many, many articles by Mr. Harriot on The Grio. I also had the pleasure of hearing him on Larry Wilmore’s podcast. I was thrilled to see Michael had one!
I’ll be tuning in regularly!! Keep teaching King 👑!!

For such short episodes, Michael Harriet never fails to educate and entertain me. I was so impressed with the episode on the Alabama Ferry Fight. He connected so many dots!!!
