2:15Now PlayingSenator Sheldon Whitehouse faces criticism for his family’s ties to Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport, Rhode Island after the establishment was accused of having only white members. The senator denied those allegations.
“Black News Tonight” host Marc Lamont Hill discusses the controversy surrounding Whitehouse and the club’s lack of diversity.
“Sometimes the best politics to identify somebody by is not how they vote - although that’s important,” Hill says. “It’s not what they say— although that certainly matters. It’s what their personal politics look like.”
Hill questions what it means to be a white liberal who advocates for racial justice if there are no Black people or people of color found within one’s day-to-day life.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
