Black Anger
Season 2020 Episode 1 | 26m 46sVideo has Closed Captions
Black people have many reasons to express their anger. We explore this topic in-depth.
Black anger is historically and presently justified, but largely invalidated and seen as an overreaction - bolstered by the prevalence of the “angry black woman” and “aggressive black man” stereotypes - an attempt to keep minorities quiet in order to keep structural inequality in place. Why are many Black people upset and what can change that?
