Movin' on Up

While the dust hasn't completely settled from election week, we shift gears and start a new series block on resources and equity. Up first, one of Maslow’s basic needs, shelter. Gentrification is the talk of many cities around the country and to really understand it, you have to understand just how many of the neighborhoods and cities who are susceptible to gentrification came and continue to be. No conspiracy theories here this week, we talk housing discrimination, redlining, why hoods get worse and just how “white flight” got coined. We both share our first time seeing a seizure in person and Donald reveals how he blew through his scholarship money in one weekend buying drip.

About the Podcast

The Black Codes
In an attempt to understand what the hell is going on in America, Savannah and Donald (two self proclaimed N*ggas With Attitudes and degrees) embark on a quest to connect the dots between past and present. Through research, data and shade, The Black Codes aims to look at the present state of America through an often overlooked lens, her actual/factual relationship with her Black citizens. Join us every Thursday as we uncover the many ties and lies that bind America’s past & present.
