Freestyle 8: Using the Master's Tools to Dismantle the Master's House

Afrocentric.

In the gripping season 2 finale, Morgan discusses the complex concept of the Black Bourgeoisie, exploring its historical significance, ties to Black Wall Street, and involvement with influential organizations like the NAACP and the Black Elite. The discussion sheds light on the fracturing of the Black Bourgeoisie and its current decline, often referred to as the "fall of the Black Bourgeoisie." Morgan examines the loss of trust and influence experienced by the Black middle class in America, which can be described as a "social fall" or a decline in their status and authority within the broader society. Drawing inspiration from Audre Lorde's seminal work, "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House," the episode poses a thought-provoking question: Can the tools and structures inherited from the dominant power structures truly dismantle the systemic oppression faced by the Black community? It explores the complexities and challenges of using the "master's tools" to challenge the very systems that have marginalized and oppressed Black people historically. With insightful analysis and a nuanced perspective, this season finale promises to be a captivating exploration of the Black Bourgeoisie's past, present, and future, leaving viewers with a deeper understanding of the ongoing struggle for equality and empowerment.
