Defining Blackness:

How Racism Divides Black Communities

Video    Beyond the Scenes    The Daily Show    16 August 2022

 

From the One Drop Rule to low essence media stereotypes,

America continues to attempt to fit Blackness into a box.

 

This has led to Black folks

policing their own Blackness and divisions

based on colorism and ethnic backgrounds.

 

Daily Show writer Ashton Womack, and Yaba Blay,

author of the book One Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race,

join Host Roy Wood Jr. to attempt to define Blackness

as an ideology and open up about moments

when they didn’t feel “Black enough.”

life without parole for 'felony murder'

 

A first-of-its-kind court case in Pennsylvania

is asking a big question:

How long do people need to stay in prison

before they get a second chance?

 

More than 1,000 people

are serving life without parole in Pennsylvania,

even though they never intended to kill anyone.

 

Seventy percent of those people are Black.

cartoonists > Ray Billingsley        USA

 

Billingsley is best known

as the creator of the strip Curtis.

 

Debuting in 1988,

Curtis was one of the first nationally

syndicated comic strips

to feature a mostly Black cast.

 

Today, the strip is widely read

in print and digital platforms.

 

However, as a young Black cartoonist,

Billingsley struggled

to get the chance to portray his people

through his work.
