A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Fabulous Obama BFF and White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett sat down earlier this week to answer questions from all corners of the internet from minorities and underserved populations on healthcare insurance reform. This includes BlackPlanet which is cool — many people don’t know BP is one of the largest social networks in the world). All the questions are really smart yet practical everyday & sincere inquiries on the facts. Jarrett answers earnestly and knowledgeably. She’s got her lil glasses on too — so you know she’s serious. It’s not just blacks and latinos who get answers either — Jarrett casts a broad multiethnic net for questions, which I also appreciated.
You can watch the whole thing or listen in the background while you work like I did. It’s about 30 min and worth your time. Check it out:
