The American "Whitelash"

Lol at thinking just because 2020 was ending so would the bullshit. Top of the year and we got a full on insurrection. A damn COUP! If you’re anything like us, you’re still taking it in trying to unpack what the hell just happened. In learning, we stumbled upon "Whitelash" (11:30) which is essentially white backlash to black progress. Yes there’s a name for it and it’s a real thing. This week we get into what it looks like (14:45), some of the causes (23:30) and the jig being up (47:50). We also take a quick break to talk about Japanese whiskey (29:20), Savannah’s thoughts on traveling back in time (36:30) and Donald breaks some harsh but necessary news (37:15).

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.
