Shownotes

There is a specific shared experience we’re willing to bet almost all Black millenials who enjoyed school, or did well at school, or spoke with a certain cadence endured: being told “you act white”, “you sound white”, “you are white” or the fan fave “you're an oreo”.

But why? Why is being educated, or “sounding” educated linked to whiteness? This week we get into the history black people have had with education while in this country.

How one could be fined, jailed or whipped for teaching ANY blacks to read or write, why the damn troops had to be called in to escort children into school buildings and how equality and equity in many schools today is still a myth. We also show in a very embarrassing way math is not either of our strong suits and Donald answers the age old question “Can you read a room?”.
