According to research by opinion writer for the Boston Globe, Kimberly Atkins Stohr, titled ‘We Can Solve The Racial Wealth Gap'’ The median wealth of the black family in 2019 was $24,000, and for the white family, it was $188,000.

So, how did we get here? How did the racial wealth gap grow so wide that it continues to widen and affect the black family and its wealth today?

On today's episode, we are discussing: The Complex Reasons We Discriminate and The Devastating Effects on Race Relations.
In talking about discrimination, we are afraid of saying something that may be interpreted as discriminatory. Have you ever heard the expression, ‘I don’t talk about race, religion or politics with others’? That’s because societal norms surrounding the open discussion of topics related to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, politics, and class differences hinder an honest and open discussion of these topics. Those societal norms can influence people to avoid or only superficially engage in meaningful and honest discussions on these socially taboo topics.
Bias and discrimination can be difficult subjects to discuss. But there are very good reasons to get past our discomfort and talk about these important issues. Some of the most damaging forms of discrimination are the result of deep-seated, destructive generalizations about a certain group. In such cases, people harbor unrealistic, disparaging beliefs about a group and its members while also maintaining a sense of the moral or intellectual superiority of their own group. These individuals are consciously aware of their negative emotions toward members of the group and intend to harm, disadvantage, or avoid them.

On today's episode, we are discussing how trauma can be weaponized and the dangers of unhealed wounds.
Using trauma to harm or bully others is never ok. Though trauma can be extremely difficult to overcome, it should not be used as an excuse for toxic behavior. Click the link to listen in: https://www.theatonpapers.com/episodes/episode-01-weaponizingtrauma

So, let’s talk about Code Switching. What exactly is it?

Code Switching is when a person (usually a person in an underrepresented group) adjusts the way that they talk depending on cultural context. It usually applies to speaking, but it can also apply to other behaviors such as changes in their appearance or expressions, known as behavioral code switching. These changes to their speech or appearance are done in order to fit into the more dominant culture, and in this podcast, I’m speaking of white culture. And this discussion is regarding what some Black people do around White people.

Code Switching is when a person (usually a person in an underrepresented group) adjusts the way that they talk depending on cultural context. It usually applies to speaking, but it can also apply to other behaviors such as changes in their appearance or expressions, known as behavioral code switching.

So, why do some Black people feel the pressure to Code Switch?

Juneteenth, consisting of the words “June” and “nineteenth,” stands as the oldest celebration of Black emancipation in the United States. To this day, the occasion marks the progress of the United States from legally approving race-based chattel slavery to legally abolishing it after centuries of resistance, the initiation of the nation’s bloodiest war, and a constitutional amendment.
As part of the commitment to dismantle racism, many individuals, organizations, and governments committed to increasing racial awareness by celebrating Juneteenth. Historically speaking, few events compare to the significance of the abolition of slavery in the United States. It forever changed the political and social landscape of the country.
A bit of history. Many societies throughout time have practiced some form of slavery. In the United States, however, slavery “developed as a permanent, hereditary status centrally tied to race.” As slavery became more institutionalized, wealthy white men created more rules to regulate its practice. Breaking from the tradition of a child following the father’s status, slavery in the United States dictated that a child was born enslaved or free based solely on the mother’s status.
Slavery in the United States meant slavery for life with no hope of emancipation. Enslaved Black people were deprived of legal rights, required permission to leave their master’s property, were forbidden to legally marry, and could not carry guns.
Slavery in this country defined enslaved Africans as not human beings but as chattel—private property on the same level as livestock. Even the support of white abolitionists was uneven and incomplete. Just because someone did not want the institution of race-based chattel slavery to continue did not mean they were committed to the concept of Black equality.

What are boundaries? And why are they so important for helping you feel comfortable and safe in your relationships. Boundaries are imaginary lines that protect a person’s personal or mental space. They are the limits we set for ourselves within a relationship or relationships. Basically, boundaries are how we teach others how we want to be treated.

On Episode 2 today, we are discussing the importance of establishing healthy boundaries.
