Tavis Smiley discussed the contentious views on racism in America, sparked by Kamala Harris’s assertion that America is not a racist country. Smiley highlighted the difficulty many Black politicians face in balancing truth with political survival. Reflecting on the broader implications of Harris’s statement, he noted the paradox of pursuing high office while being unable to fully address systemic racism. Smiley emphasized that racism remains the most intractable issue in the U.S. and criticized the reluctance to address it transparently. Additionally, Smiley touched upon the cultural appropriation phenomenon, using the example of Donald Trump adopting a Black Power salute post-assassination attempt, to underscore how Black culture remains influential yet often misunderstood.
