Professor of media and Africana Studies at Morgan State University Dr. Jared Ball, responds to Norman Finkelstein’s recent debate with Briahna about whether the assassinations of civil rights activists and politicians in the 60s had a significant effect on left movements of the time. But first, after mentioning last year’s episode on Oscar-winner American Fiction, the pair get sucked into a lengthy media critique of Superman, Judas & the Black Messiah, and the new Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad that’s been described as “eugenic.” Can popular media of any kind can ever really be radical?
