Seeing the limits of Black liberals, and the horizon of Black radicals.

Africana studies scholar Yannick Giovanni Marshall explains how Black liberals work to police the possibilities of Black politics - coopting and neutering the critiques of radicals, in service of their own position in a society built on centuries of exploitation of Black life and labor.

Yannick wrote the op-ed Black liberal, your time is up for Al Jazeera English.
