Very disappointed by this episode.Brittany Packnett Cunningham is hosting and executive producing The Meteor's new weekly news podcast UNDISTRACTED in partnership with Pineapple Street Studios. This has never been done but it doesn't mean it can't. The answer has always been extending resources in a truly equitable way. I got the sense the speakers believe abandoning hbcus for white schools was the answer to the inequity that exists in resources and the intellectual dishonesty is honestly disappointing. The answer to integrating schools wasn't bussing Black kids into the suburbs. All Black people don't desire that experience. Power and access to sacred white spaces is a very specific value set. Yes Harvard has a powerful network as do other elite white schools but the tokenization of the few and far between black alums is the cost of admission to the club. We don't get to Harvard law school without there being hbcus paving the way for a more equitable society. Suggesting hbcus don't have their own powerful network (singular "network" as in all hbcu folks look out for other hbcu folks regardless of institution) is an afront to the legacy of these schools past and present. Sincerely ElleĬonversation with Kimberlé Crenshaw was great until the conversation got to hbcus. I have to say I don’t know how to get your response. You always are so precise and break it down to where it supposed to be. I always tell my friends there goes my girl Brittany. I enjoy listening to your podcast, watching you on MSNBC. Or do a segment on finding African American doctors in one’s area city. Possible can you guide me in the right direction. I’ve been on this search for over a year & half. I’ve asked friends to help me to find African Americans doctors, I have not been successful. I wanted to get a African American G P, as well a, GYN African American women. I’ve experienced racism in the medical community. I spoke with my cardiologists, she stated that there are test that are racially discriminated against. When I asked the pulmonologist way the results came out this was he had no answer. So I said African American, & he was right the results showed normal. I need to remind you, I already have a test multiple test that says I have abdominal lung function. But if he put down I was African American, the test would say I had no problems. Tech asked me want was my race, I’m think what! He exo if he put down my race as white, the test would should I have a problem. So unfortunately I put the pulmonary problems to the side. I had a test 5 years ago it was abdominal. I went to see a pulmonologist, having problems with my lungs. I live in Southern Califorina, I’m a African American women 65 years young.
