Episode 20 -- Negrophobia

Bruthas N Law

In response to a listener question, the Bruthas take a deep dive into American slavery and one of its lasting effects -- negrophobia. This is the irrational fear that, at any moment, black folks will rise up and commence the "negropocalypse." The Bruthas not only show the roots of this fear and its affects during slavery and beyond, but also, the corresponding fear that black folks live under -- caucaphobia. This is the black person's (quite rational) fear that any act could result in a white person experiencing negrophobia, unleashing horrible (even fatal) consequences upon the black person. And finally, the Bruthas discuss how you can end, or at least, reduce YOUR negrophobia.
