I like the concept, but the clip didn't provide much fodder for Dr. Loury. I'd locate appropriate clips and ask these questions:
1. Hillary Clinton was supposed to win in a romp in 2016. Early election night coverage was a celebration of "breaking the glass ceiling." Women took their daughters to the Javits Center to witness history. (Show clips.) Hillary ordered fireworks for her big celebration. Question: What role does "a woman scorned" play in the uniquely silly, and continuing, aftermath of the 2016 election?
I was going to list other examples, but I'll just mention the topics: The symbiotic relationship of white Democrat bigwigs and Black voters; the crime wave -- reality vs media narrative; how RBG not retiring and allowing Obama to name her replacement led to the recent overturn of Roe v Wade. I'd show clips (you could use the one and only John McWhorter here) and ask if "Black and brown people" replacing "people of color" is a Dear John letter from POC to Asians.
Anyway, I love these Sunday afternoon offerings. And this idea seems like a great one. Just was not bowled over by the clip. I suppose I've had my fill of the confessional, we're-all-in-this-together "I was scared the entire time Trump was in office, but the deplorables are really not so awful" takes.
