James (Cloudness) Cloud is an American Entrepreneur and high-end security expert. He recently appeared on a "Black Panel" - a panel of diverse Black individuals who were voting left, right, third party and undecided, with some being activists, working professionals and everyday people. Because his story is more unique in respect life's extreme ups and downs, I thought it would be podcast malpractice to not want to have a conversation. For my volleyball followers, this might be a "skip" for you (not for everyone, I get it) but I enjoyed the realness of this conversation.
00:27 - The "Black Panel" and how he wound up on it
03:39 - Malcolm X, and the wolf and the fox, playing from behind, levels of responsibility
14:21 - Do we "see color?" Obama second term and what he could have done, where you the night Obama got elected? The good parts and the disappointments
28:46 - Getting elected, getting re-elected, and keeping promises when they get elected, Codifying abortion, why politics is like WWE wrestling
35:20 - Trump and the assassination attempt (how is his protection right now?)
40:22 - Is the constant persecution of Trump getting him more votes or driving them away, Dr Stein and the Breakfast Club interview, does the political climate make people not show up to vote, Medhi Hasan has a spine that bends both ways
52:53 - Elections are lost all the time but values are important, how the "Black Panel" demonstrates that Black people are not a monolith.
