It’s no secret that things are exponentially more difficult for Black people in America than white people. And if you happen to be a white person, you probably won’t ever understand the plight. Being willing to try to understand, however, is where it starts, and antiracist podcasts from Black women offer another perspective of racism against Black people in America.
Like Intersectionality Matters!, hosted by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, a civil rights advocate and attorney. The mission of The African American Policy Forum, which presents the podcast, is to “utilize new ideas and innovative perspectives to transform public discourse and policy.”
And Radical Imagination, from the author and PolicyThink founder Angela Glover Blackwell, contains discussions with people who have been affected by racism or are working to change some aspects of racial inequality.
Fare of the Free Child is another podcast hosted by a Black woman, Alikah S. Richards, which centers on the fears and costs of raising Black children and children of color in the United States as it currently stands. And hosted by Hiba Elyass and Chevon Drew, Momentum: A Race Forward discusses the struggles and triumphs of people of color as well as racially-charged news stories.
After George Floyd’s murder made headlines across the world, millions of people flocked to the city streets to protest on his behalf and for justice of all Black people. It’s one thing to post support on social media, and that’s truly just the start. To really educate yourself, these antiracist podcasts can help.
