Kamala Harris, Trump and Woke Politics
Thank you for tuning in! I’m passionate about bringing progressive voices to the forefront, and I hope our discussions inspire you to think critically about the issues we face today.
In this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, host Bob Gatty engages with Richard Pellegrino, author of ‘I’m Not White, One Man’s Journey from Whiteness to Oneness,’ and founder of the Global Woke Institute. They discuss the challenges and significance of Kamala Harris’s Democratic nomination for president, the persistent issues of racism and sexism in America, and the misuse of the word “woke” by Republicans when criticizing Democrats.
Pellegrino shares his personal journey from privilege and addiction to becoming a voice for racial and social justice, highlighting the profound impact of his family’s multiracial background, his involvement in civil rights and anti-war movements, and his subsequent spiritual and global awakening.
The conversation focuses on race, identity, and woke politics, the realities of U.S. foreign policy, and the interconnectedness of all people as the presidential election contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump unfolds.
