In this episode of 'Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton,' the focus is on the recent political developments surrounding the U.S. presidential race, particularly former President Donald Trump's selection of JD Vance as his Vice-Presidential candidate. Dr. Burton delves into the paradox of anti-immigrant sentiments within the GOP, noting that many of its leaders are married to immigrants, including Vance's wife, Usha, who has an impressive educational and professional background. The conversation extends to Vance's book 'Hillbilly Elegy,' exploring the cultural and socio-economic factors that shape the ideologies of disenfranchised white Americans. Dr. Burton encourages viewers to critically assess issues of class, education, and the pervasive nature of anti-Black racism and questions the pursuit of power by those aligned with white supremacist ideologies while being intimately connected with immigrant communities. The episode underscores the importance of understanding these complexities in the broader context of U.S. politics and civil rights.
