Cop City Murder: Time to take the "Black" out of BLM? (w/ Kamau Franklin & Matthew Clair)

This week, Briahna spoke to Kamau Franklin -- founder of Community Movement Builders and a long-time organizer/attorney/writer in Atlanta who has been working against Cop City and around policing broadly, and Matthew Clair, a Stanford professor with a focus on how race and class inequalities in the criminal legal system are embedded in and reproduced through the attorney-client relationship. The panel discussed the proposed cop training development known as Cop City, the recent murder of Cop City protestor Manuel "Tortuguita" Teran by the police, the murder of Tyre Nichols and debates over whether "racism" could have played a role in the killing of a black man by black police officers. The panel then debated the utility of framing criminal justice reform as a "black" issue, the failures of the Biden administration's criminal justice efforts, and the role black mayors play in affirming the status quo.

Hi, Brie, I just wanted to say as a leftist I fully support your often under-appreciated and misunderstood approach to The Hill. Your radars are surgical in precision in the way they reel in the right wing audience and then speak truth to power from the left, regardless of what the chattering class and Vaushes of the world say. It's far more subtly effective in my view than attempts by Greenwald and Dore which lack the same unabashed authentic left punch.

You are SPOT ON with that Stacey Abrams example re. Why not just highlight all the instances of police oppression. I do not understand how movements against police brutality continue to miss what is a LAY UP in messaging

Brie is far more subtly effective for you. Brie, Greenwald, and Dore resonate with different audiences, and all their audiences are necessary for political success.

Good discussion. 1. That Joe Biden and Black "leaders" video gets me so heated every time. haha Not only do they let him slide on continually lying about his Civil Rights involvement (side note: eff Jim Crow-burn!) but allowed him to talk down to them like they were his children! 2. Stacey Abrams goes where the money is. Remember, she was all for Michael Bloomberg after he gave her organization $5 million: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a30981335/stacey-abrams-is-wrong-to-compare-bloombergs-dollar350-million-spending-spree-to-campaigning-with-a-dog/ but then switched to Biden when it looked like she could be Vice President: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/12/politics/stacey-abrams-endorses-joe-biden/index.html 3. Spot on about Black Mayors being a joke. The downtown situation described is happening in Jackson, MS. The state just voted to put in "a new system of unelected judges and prosecutors chosen by white officials to oversee a part of the majority-Black capital city." And on top of that, they are doubling the percentage of their taxes to pay for it: https://www.mississippifreepress.org/30916/white-appointed-capitol-courts-in-jackson-step-closer-after-mississippi-house-approval Mind you, Jackson STILL has a water crisis happening. What does the mayor do? He holds a press conference saying how the bill is "oppressive". Nothing about how if they think they can run that part of the city that without the Black residents input, they will walk off their jobs and work on building in / improving their communities (community gardens, fix up homes, etc). The mayor makes just under $120,000, at least in 2018, (https://www.jacksonfreepress.com/news/2018/may/23/what-lumumbas-team-earns/) in a city where minimum wage is $7.25. (https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/28059) Side note: The mayor is the 2nd highest paid official. Know who's the highest? The person in charge of public works! Can't make this up. Knowing full well how the state legislature is and would probably pull something like this, you think the mayor set up a strike/community fund or something to protect/empower his people? Of course not! His role is to go on TV and say "Woe is me. Wish there was something I could do."
