Francesca Ramsey：我认为非洲裔美国人并非一个整体，我们有权支持任何我们想支持的政治观点和政治家。虽然我理解这种权利，但我对一些非洲裔共和党人的行为感到困惑，尤其是在网络上。他们有时表现出一种优越感，仿佛他们超越了种族主义，并且是通过自身努力获得成功的。但这往往给人一种表演的感觉，好像他们试图证明自己对所有事物都满意。 我还可以区分我成长过程中接触到的老一辈非洲裔共和党人和当今的新生代非洲裔共和党人。老一辈的共和党人，例如康多莉扎·赖斯和科林·鲍威尔，在非洲裔社群中备受尊重，他们与社群保持着良好的关系。而新一代的非洲裔共和党人则不然，他们与社群的关系也大相径庭。我看到一个福克斯新闻的片段，一些当选的非洲裔共和党人在白人占多数的选区中获胜，这似乎印证了我的观点，他们似乎乐于成为某种象征性的存在。 我更希望被庆祝和被看见，而不是被抬高，仿佛比其他非洲裔美国人更好。 Consciously：许多非洲裔美国人对共和党持负面看法，因为共和党包容了支持邦联旗帜和三K党的人。虽然越来越多的年轻非洲裔美国人转向共和党，或者对政治感到失望，但对非洲裔美国人来说，选择仍然很难，很难判断谁真正代表着我们的最佳利益。

Shownotes Transcript

It's 1978, and Senator Edward Brooke is fighting for his political life. As the first Black U.S. Senator elected by popular vote, Ed broke barriers and reached the heights of power. But scandal and betrayal threaten to bring it all crashing down. Meanwhile, a young Carol Moseley Braun faces her own trials as she begins her journey to become the first Black woman in the Senate. From backroom deals to civil rights battles, two trailblazing Black senators navigate racism, party politics, and inner turmoil in their attempt to shape American democracy.
