TONIGHT AT 6 PM — PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS: SUNDAY RUNDOWN
Tonight on Black Westchester Magazine’s People Before Politics, we’re going beyond the headlines and asking a bigger question:
Is Black America building real political and economic power—or are we just picking political sides?
We’re breaking down:
Eight Black candidates running for governor — Does Black political achievement count differently depending on whether there’s a D or R behind the candidate’s name?
The South Florida congressional fight — How did a heavily Black district lose Black representation while remaining Democratic?
The Black economy — Black unemployment is 6.3%, and Black-owned businesses represent only a small share of employer businesses. Is Black America experiencing a different economy from the rest of America?
Angie Nixon and drag shows — After defending taking her children to drag shows, we ask: Are cultural positions like this what Black voters are actually voting for?
Stephen A. Smith vs. NABJ — Did NABJ create a bigger problem for Black media? And as Stephen A. openly considered a possible 2028 presidential run, should we examine whether politics played any role in the backlash?
Tonight we're measuring politics differently.
Not simply: Did Democrats win? Did Republicans win?
But:
DID BLACK AMERICA WIN?
Join Damon K. Jones and the People Before Politics crew for an unapologetic conversation about Black political power, economics, culture and media.
