RSMS Hour 3 | Actor Da’Vinchi Says Black Americans Should Forget About Slavery

The conversation heats up over actor Da’Vinchi’s interview with Cam Newton, where his broad criticism of Americans’ work ethic and remarks about moving beyond slavery drew backlash; the show pushes back by stressing that the legacy of slavery, redlining, and systemic discrimination still shapes Black life today. Da’Vinchi later said his statement was generalized and should have been more specific. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
