Authentic Voice Melanin Discussion

 

I make it a practice to watch alternative viewpoint programming. It is important to suspend my own enculturated judgments regarding what is “appropriate”. It is very, very enlightening.  Please watch and respond to these authentic voices discussing melanin and power.

Acting White

 

I have been taking an informal visual poll -looking for the percentage of African Americans who present as middle class. I have been in rural and Birmingham and Tuscaloosa public venues and schools (my son-in-law is a a special ed teacher).

I saw 4 out of hundreds of people.  Asking my son-in-law ( a southerner) , he laughed.  It is considered “white” to “dress”.  He said only the teachers and ministers would be allowed to “look white” without harassment.  YIKES.  When I asked him, “what will fix this”, he responded “Nothing.  There is no profit in it.”   Thoughts?
