45 - Black Capitalism Is A Fantasy

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole  Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how after months of talking,  begging and offering concessions the Biden administration’s dead-end  strategy of appeasing right wing Democrat Joe Manchin  has gone up in flames. Now Manchin wants to pulls the plug on the  “build back better” social programs entirely, and only a people's  movement can stop him. They also discuss the victory of Gabriel Boric  over his fascist opponent in the Chilean presidential  election, new revelations about the scale of civilian casualties from  U.S. airstrikes, the spread of the omicron variant, and more.

Joe Manchin's War Against Workers

Born in Coatesville, raised in Philadelphia, PA, Norland “Elgin” Bailey is no stranger to facing giants. As the 4th child of 6, Elgin matriculated through Philadelphia School System for elementary and middle, and is a proud graduate of Coatesville Area Senior High School. Immediately afterward he served 4 years in the military, US Navy Branch as a communication technician. As an honorably discharged disabled veteran, Elgin is no stranger to serving his community’s marginalized population ranging from juvenile sexual offenders facilities, to their homeless shelters, while giving back through after school programs such as YMCA, and other forms of educational and communal settings. Elgin has served as a community activist for a number of years in the Coatesville community. Through speaking, protesting, organizing, and intentionally curating prophetic spaces, calling truth to power, Elgin is one of the founding members of the Robert Chadwick Group, in honor of his brother “Chad”.  After years of serving his community, Elgin decided to pursue higher education, and is currently obtaining the first of many degrees in  behavioral mental health counseling, and psychology. Currently as a prevention specialist, specializing in drugs/alcohol in the homeless community, Elgin is a proud husband, father of 4 beautiful daughters, a podcaster, a “dabbler” in the culinary arts, a speaker, a friend, and committed to the well-being of the Black collective. Elgin lives by the mantra of the famous Frederick Douglas quote stating “without struggle, there is no progress.”
