Episode Synopsis

The Brooklyn Combine returns with an episode dedicated to exploring several critical topics, with a particular focus on the concept of the "Black Middle Class." The criteria for defining this social category remain somewhat ambiguous; however, this episode examines the underlying complexities, including the intersections of capitalism, class mobility, class suicide, revolution, and the notion of the Talented Tenth, among other related themes. Stay woke.

We are the Brooklyn Combine, a non-profit community organization. We work with schools, community organizations, and dedicated city officials to help provide mentorship, critical education, leadership, and social support programs to youth and young adults in low-income and underserved communities.

Episode 3 Combine Cast Members: Michael Bunton, Keith White, Valentino Ellis, Kenneth J. Montgomery, and Phillip Shung.
