Episode description

"Ghetto to Bougie"
Harmful Class Systems & Stereotypes Assigned to Black People

.
What traits define a person as ghetto, or bougie? Why is one defined as less than while the other is considered uppity? Is it a crime to embrace all aspects of black culture? And why are these class systems in place anyway?
.
We are discussing stereotypes within the black community that encourage judgemental mentalities. Whether the issue is #shacarririchardson style in the #Olympics, or the bougie aunty memes we share at #BlackThanksgiving, who decides what version of #blackness gets the seal of approval?
