Tonight on Black Out, Van Lathan and 19 Keys join us for a powerful and unfiltered conversation about the state and future of Black America.

We debate whether capitalism can truly save Black people, and break down wealth, ownership, economic power, culture, leadership, and the role of gatekeepers. 19 Keys also weighs in on standards in the culture, what’s appropriate vs. what crosses the line, and what needs to change moving forward.

Plus, we discuss the Gary, Indiana water crisis, community responsibility, politics, and much more.
