Politics & African Americans

Date

Hosted byArt Bell

Conservative African American activist Emmanuel McLittle was Art's guest for the entire program. He is the founder and publisher of Destiny Magazine, and the son of a Detroit auto worker. McLittle grew up angry but soon changed his ways after receiving a master's degree. McLittle claimed that people don't leave ghettos because they are given all kinds of delusions that keep them in poverty. The choices that we make as individuals are not so different between the choices we make as a group of people, he asserted.

McLittle declared that opportunity is all people need to succeed and strongly disagreed with everything Louis Farrakhan stands for. Art and McLittle engaged in a debate in Hour 2 – especially when McLittle stated he did not agree with mixed marriages. He also said that integration made things worse, and that racism doesn't have the power that many are trying to pretend it does. Many of the calls were in regards to McLittle's stance on mixed marriages.
