Rashad Robinson on power vs. presence, plus the real story behind the Target boycott

This week on TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne kick things off with the wild scenes from Jay-Z’s Yankee Stadium run, surprise guests, a stampede at the doors, and the debate over whether the logistics were a total mess. Then social justice strategist Rashad Robinson joins to talk his new book From Presence to Power, breaking down why moral clarity alone doesn’t win fights, what “profiteering” really means, and the receipts behind his Facebook and ALEC campaigns. Tamika and Mysonne also press him for his take on the Target boycott and the “selective outrage” argument going around. Mysonne closes with a heavy tribute to a young man killed at a Harlem basketball tournament and a call to reclaim community spaces as safe zones.
