America on Fire: Ep. 11: Reform or Repackaging? The Lie Behind America's Surface Fixes

In Episode 11 of The Morris Perspective, host Connie Morris examines chapter 10 of Elizabeth Hinton’s America on Fire to reveal how "reform" became a tool for preserving, not fixing, systems of oppression. Through historical examples like the 1994 Crime Bill and critiques of common police reforms—community policing, body cameras, and bias training—Morris argues that most changes were performative gestures that left underlying power structures intact.

She contrasts surface-level fixes with calls for real transformation: accountability, redistribution of power, and investments in education, housing, jobs, and healthcare. The episode mixes biblical reflections, historical analysis, and practical questions for listeners about where they demand deeper change.
