S8E2: All My Skinfolk Ain’t Kinfolk

<p><strong>Can Black people be racist? NO! However, Black people can be agents of white supremacy and anti-Black. Due to how we have been socialized chances are there are times when we may experience internalized racism. Throughout our socialization there have been systems in place to move us closer to whiteness and as a result, shunning people who do not align with white supremacist heterosexist classist patriarchal ideologies. While some of us have found ways to break free from some of these ideologies, others have doubled down in fully aligning with whiteness. Today, Dr. Dom and Terri discuss those who may look like us but are not for us.</strong></p> <p><strong>Quote of the Day:</strong></p> <p>"Souls that inhabit white bodies can be allies and accomplices in the fight against oppression, in the same way that black folks can be agents and accomplices in promoting, promulgating and protecting white supremacy. As my grandmother once said, conjuring Zora Neale Hurston, “All your skin folk ain’t your kinfolk.” Meaning that you can inhabit a black body and be an agent of white supremacy."</p> <p>- Professor Lawrence Ware</p> <p><strong>Questions that need answers:</strong></p> <ol> <li>What do we do about skinfolk that ain’t our kinfolk?<br> </li> <li>How do the real Black people unite?<br> </li> <li>What does it mean to be Black?<br> </li> <li>How do we hold Black celebrities and officials accountable?<br> </li> </ol> <p><a href="https://form-beta.asana.com/?hash=206e021082489156ff647112277405febe037965c9e8efefc64ee71662360f0c&amp;id=1154812335378042"><u>TalkBack Tuesday with Dr. Dom</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/herspacepodcast"><u>Wisdom Wednesdays with Terri</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/herspacesanctuary/"><u>H.E.R Space Sanctuary</u></a></p> <p><strong>Resources:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.melaninandmentalhealth.com/"><u>Melanin and Mental Health</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://providers.therapyforblackgirls.com/"><u>Therapy for Black Girls&nbsp;</u><
