Episode 16: The Standard Of Black
Black folks are held to a different and ever changing standard than our non black peers. Historically this was done to exclude us from positions of power and to remind our oppressors of their false sense of superiority. Unfortunately, not much has changed since the days of the civil right’s movement. It’s time to call a spade a spade. Tune in and hear from a journalist, a social justice advocate running for office, and an attorney speak about some of the double standards they've faced in their industries on the newest episode of The Inky Comet, “The Standard of Black”.
