Cultural Compromise, Cultural Appropriation, and Cultural Erasure
Happy 2023! In this first episode of the year, Jack and Mike discuss three themes: cultural compromise, cultural appropriation, and cultural erasure.Cultural Compromise: They debate host Jerrod Carmichael's decision to sell out his morals and values for money and isn't that all of us?
"How much does it cost to sell your moral principles? Because that's what Carmichael did and the number was $500,000." - Jack Rico
Cultural Appropriation: They then discuss Gwen Stefani saying "I'm Japanese" and doubling down on it."Stefani got roasted by Asian Press. These Japanese women bowing to her and, there are all these images you could call white supremacy." - Mike Sargent
Cultural Erasure: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee banning the term "Latinx" and whether it's important or not. "It's a joke law. It's not gonna hold Mike. So that's why I particularly don't take this seriously. And I don't think it's gonna go anywhere." - Jack RicoTo listen to our podcast, subscribe on these platforms: YouTube youtube.com/@brownblackpodcastSpotify: https://spoti.fi/2ZwbAZziTunes: https://apple.co/32hShVTiHeart Radio: https://ihr.fm/32kX6h1 Pandora: https://pdora.co/2DDeWS7 TuneIn: https://bit.ly/2WpoKG2 -
The Paradox of Code-Switching and Pivoting
In this episode, we discuss the controversial topics of code-switching, pivoting, and Brown and Black unity in a divisive world. We explore how these topics can be difficult to navigate in both intimate conversations in the workplace and your personal life. This episode is particularly special because it is our first virtual live podcast episode, which we recorded at the Men of Color event in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally, we were supposed to be there in person, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to "pivot" and go the virtual route.To listen to our podcast, subscribe on these platforms: iTunes: https://apple.co/32hShVTSpotify: https://spoti.fi/2ZwbAZz iHeart Radio: https://ihr.fm/32kX6h1 Pandora: https://pdora.co/2DDeWS7 TuneIn: https://bit.ly/2WpoKG2 Reach out to us: Follow us on YouTube youtube.com/@brownblackpodcast

Customer Reviews
Accidentally found this gem
Of course Apple has never suggested this podcast despite the fact that almost all of the podcasts I listen to have black or Latinx hosts . Eu sou afro brasileira and voices that are relatable to me as a black Latina are important. Keep up the outstanding work gentleman . Amo isso!
