Then we trace that same exploitative thread through Reconstruction, sharecropping, redlining, and the prison-industrial complex — all systems designed to extract Black labor while denying Black wealth and power.<br/>Fast forward to the present, and we unpack how capitalism continues to feed off Black struggle — through wage theft, discriminatory hiring, gig work, and the commodification of Black culture by brands and media empires that profit while our communities remain under-resourced.<br/>Tune in as we speak truth to power, challenge the myths of the “American Dream,” and call for a future rooted in justice, dignity, and collective power.<br/><br/>Website: http://www.blackrevolutionarycollective.com</p>]]></description>
