Special guest, JAMES "JAY" BAILEY, CEO & President of The Russell Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (RCIE) drops by MD to provide his insight on the role of ECONOMICS in POLITICS, especially in regards to the AFRICAN AMERICAN community. Some suggest that we've had a CIVIL RIGHTS movement & a political movement, but have fail to back either with an ECONOMIC movement in the BLACK community. We ask BAILEY when voting what should BLACKS expect to get out of it economically?  Since America's political system is basically set up to be ruled by the BUSINESS class, do we have enough BLACK-OWNED BUSINESS OWNERS scaled to the degree necessary to effectively influence politics in favor of the BLACK community; or should AFRICAN AMERICANS operate more like ASIAN AMERICANS who seemingly focus on ECONOMICS and very little on POLITICS? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
