Cultural competency is for some a new buzzword that has become prevalent in many different institutions and professions. Cultural competency in medicine however is something that has emerged during a time when there was not a focus on diversity issues in the United States. What is cultural competency? What is structural competency? Why do doctors need it? Does it really have an impact on healthcare outcomes? Helping us discuss this topic today is returning guest Dr. Oni Blackstock.

Last season we introduced a reduced version of our typical episode model for the first time, airing a podcast that was under 10 minutes long. It ended up being one of our more popular episodes so we decided to expand it into an ongoing miniseries called, what Black Twitter taught me. Black Twitter is good for anything from pop culture, sports commentary, and intense sociopolitical discourse. With this series, we will share what we learned from insightful threads on various sociopolitical topics. Today we will be discussing Hattian history as it relates to colonialism and their strife for independence
Haiti has endured some tumultuous periods throughout its history. You may have seen some of the nation's recent struggles and inability in the news, political assassinations, and natural disasters have created an influx of Haitian refugees attempting to enter the united states. Troubling images of refugees being met with less than empathetic border enforcement went viral while this story was circulating. There was one in particular where a border patrol officer forcefully grabbed one of the refugees, in his hand it seemed like he was holding a whip. While the whipping aspect of the photo ended up not being the case, the point remains the same. There is a basic lack of humanity and a lack of historical context in terms of how Haiti ended up in such a tumultuous situation to begin with.

Recently we read a book called Raising LGBTQ Allies by Chris Tompkins. One of the major concepts that stood out to us was the analogy of a universal playground that we have all experienced. The “playground” is a symbolic metaphor for our minds and the messages we receive reflect dominant societal world views. As children, we absorb conscious and unconscious messages that ultimately shape our beliefs and perspective on the society in which we live.
Many adults experience apprehension and discomfort introducing complex concepts like heteronormativity, homophobia, transphobia, etc, to young children. What we often fail to realize is that children are introduced to these concepts whether we discuss them explicitly or choose to remain silent. We have discussed socialization on the podcast before, but Chris’ book gives an in-depth explanation as it relates to the LGBTQ community in a thoughtful and digestible manner. Today Chris Tompkins joins us to help us discuss this topic further.

Welcome to Part 2 of our "Paris Massacre and the Algerian Struggle for Equality" conversation. On October 17, 1961, one of the “most violent acts of repression ever applied to a street protest in Western Europe” took place. The streets of Paris, France were filled with peaceful, pro-independence Algerian protesters demonstrating against an imposed curfew on “Algerian Muslim” workers. This community has also been referred to in France as “French Muslims” or “French Muslims of Algeria.” As we alluded to before, this protest was met with state-sanctioned violence, the official death toll is in dispute, historians now agree that the death toll was at least 48 people. Many believe that it was “well over 100.” How could something like this happen? Why? Helping us cover this topic today is special guest Melissa Chemam, author of the article I just paraphrased from, “Paris Massacre: 60 years on, France must face its colonial past.”

We have covered Malcolm X in previous seasons. We alluded to how the narrative that surrounds his legacy tends to be tarnished in the eyes of some. He has been the victim of revisionist history in many regards. According to the paper “The Vilification of Malcolm X” by Greg Tull, this was done systematically with intention. On this episode, we look to expound upon his vilification with the paper’s author and returning guest Greg Tull.

Historically, there have obviously been opportunity gaps across many different professions and disciplines. The tech industry, like others, has a significant underrepresentation regarding people of color. Black people make up 7% of the tech industry while making up 13% of the U.S population. Latinx people are even more underrepresented making up 8% of the tech industry while having an 18% total U.S population. Why is this the case? What is being done to close the gap? What can we do?

The conversation concerning whether activism has a place in sports is a frequent topic in the media. Conservative TV personalities like Laura Ingraham have made derisive statements like “Shut Up and Dribble” about modern day athletes, claiming that they lack the credentials to speak out on socio-political topics. Activism in sports however is not a new occurrence, which tends to be left out of the discourse. In today’s episode, we will cite major historical examples of social justice demonstrations in the sports world. Helping us do so is returning guest Olivia Gordon.

There is a large racial wealth gap in the United States overall and it’s especially large in the pop culture/entertainment arena. This is additionally troubling considering the insurmountable contributions Black people have made to pop culture and digital content creation. Today our special guest Anuli Akanegbu (Ah-noo-lee A-ka-nay-boo) joins us to help us discuss this matter, particularly as it relates to Black women in content creation.

On this episode we will be discussing the hiring practices of educators, specifically on Long Island NY. There is a visible lack of diversity in high school educators in this region and nationally. We invited Roslyn U.S history teacher Greg Tull to discuss his experience pursuing the education profession from his time as a student through his experience interviewing for positions.

On this bonus episode, Malik runs through a high-level overview of the core tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT). CRT has been dominating public discourse across various institutions (politics, education, etc) Frankly, some of the individuals engaging in the debate do not understand it beyond having something to do with race. We already have an extended podcast on CRT featuring Dr. Angela Onwuachi-Willig; but we figured providing a 10 minute crash course on CRT’s major concepts is perfect for today's social media attention span, enjoy!

On the Season II finale of Discriminology, we discuss and reflect on the significance of two major historical events in Black history, Juneteenth & the Tulsa Massacre. Despite their historical significance, there are still significant gaps in education and awareness around both events. We address some of those questions with the assistance of Esther Kramer.

On this episode will discuss the Model Minority Myth, The term was first coined by a sociologist named William Peterson in a New York Times Magazine article about Japanese Americans, essentially applauding their ability to garner capital and success through efforts on their own despite their racial background, without demanding or protesting anything, in the U.S in the eyes of the greater power structure. This sentiment has since been expanded to the entire group.
Anti-Asian sentiment has been brewing for months now throughout the pandemic.
The Center for Study of Hate & Extremism published a report documenting changes in hate crime patterns in 2020 in 16 American cities. According to this study, anti-Asian hate crimes increased by 149% in 2020 while overall hate crimes decreased by 7% seven percent. That surge has increased to 169% through Q1 of 2021 in the state of NY. That being said, hate and oppression of the AAPI community was not born during the pandemic, it has been a recurring issue throughout American history from “yellow peril” to Japanese internment. Seeing a “model minority” group being treated this way is hypocritical, to say the least. We have a special guest to help us with today’s conversation who Mr. Kramer will introduce

To this point of our show, we have primarily focused on the oppression of Black people in the United States. On this mini series called Intersectionality, we will analyze the interconnected nature of other marginalized groups; specifically the LGBTQIA community on this episode. It is no secret that homophobia is prevalent in many minority communities including the Black community. Questions that come to our minds include how can we educate to combat this? What are some of the common questions heterosexual individuals have? What are some commonalities between the Black community and the LGBTQ community? What are the differences? Helping us address some of these questions is special guest Andrew Shallow.

Malcolm X has been trending in the news lately, mostly because of the ambiguity that surrounds his untimely death back in 1964. We figured it would be a good time to take a look at his rhetoric from an objective point of view and discuss. Malcolm X was an individual who lived multiple lifetimes despite passing at the age of 39. How should we look back on his legacy? ****(We do not own the rights to the audio clips of Malcolm X used in this episode)****

In this episode we discussed the components of Critical Race Theory, which refers to a social scientific method of examining racism in society. We had the pleasure of sharing this discussion with Dr. Angela Onwuachi-Willig. She is a renowned legal scholar and expert in racial and gender inequality as well as civil rights and is currently the dean of Boston University School of Law. Not only does she unpack CRT, but she also provides psychological tools and habits that can be used to challenge our own biases.
