Black Donald Trump
“From the trenches to the Trump”
Donald Trump is everywhere — cable news, social media, those silly red hats, Black sitcoms and rap lyrics. Wait, what? That’s right. In this episode, Katie and Yves are looking at Donald Trump’s cameos in Black sitcoms and rap music to track how Black folks’ attitudes toward The Donald have changed over time.
“Who could forget that Trump placed full-page advertisements in four New York City newspapers, including The New York Times, calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five?”
“Everyone wants to be a boss. For most rappers, they know what it’s like to be exploited. And they relish being on the other side of capitalism’s equation.”
