EP10 - Dr. Darnell Motley

Dr. Darnell Motley is a Black Psychologist. Dr. Motley shares how differently he is perceived now that he is a professional with a PhD versus when he was a poor kid growing up in Gary, Indiana.  He also describes how when interacting with White strangers, Dr. Motley's entire self is one-dimensionalized into one characteristic - his Blackness. Friends and colleagues have also tried to use his Blackness to absolve them from having committed microaggressions. Dr. Motley also talks about his rage - over what happened to Christopher Cooper, for example, as well as his latent rage that is always present.
