  • From Scepticism to Reparations: A Journey Towards Racial Healing

    From Scepticism to Reparations: A Journey Towards Racial Healing
    Sep 22 2024

    Joel Edward Goza is a writer, speaker, and community advocate. He is professor of ethics at the HBCU Simmons College and teaches in Kentucky prisons. Before focusing on writing and teaching, Joel worked in urban redevelopment and community activism for over a decade in Houston’s Fifth Ward. He is also the author of America’s Unholy Ghosts: The Racist Roots of Our Faith and Politics, and contributes to The Hill, Salon, and Religion News Service.

    Joel and I discuss the following during this reflective conversation on race, class, religion and reparations.

    - How historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan perpetuated racial myths that still justify systemic oppression today.

    - The harmful narratives around Blackness in America, such as the myth of Black laziness and criminality, and their continued influence on society and policy.

    - His views on reparations evolved, moving from scepticism to support, as he recognised the need for both financial and moral reparations for Black Americans.

    - The interconnectedness of race and class and the rationale for why they should be addressed differently. We also touch on the modern narrative that focuses on class over race, noting how some people believe solving class issues will solve racial inequality, a perspective we both find problematic.

    - And finally our views on why reparations is needed for both the US and the UK

    About Joels latest book

    Joel Edward Goza dismantles the deep-seated myths that perpetuate white supremacy—and makes the case that reparations are necessary to heal America’s racial wounds and live up to our democratic ideals.

    Like many well-intentioned white people, Goza once believed that he could support Black America’s struggle for equality without supporting reparations. Reparations, he thought, were altogether irrelevant to the real work of racial justice.

    This is a book about why he was wrong. In fact, any effort to heal our nation’s wounds will fail without reparations.

    In Rebirth of a Nation, Goza exposes lesser-known aspects of racism in American history and how Black people have consistently been depicted as responsible for their own oppression to justify slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration and gross inequality. Goza’s iconoclastic and incisive account exposes how revered figures like Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln embedded white supremacy deep into our nation’s consciousness—and how Ronald Reagan manipulated this ideology so that society cheered as he advanced a set of policies that wounded our nation and intensified Black America’s suffering.

  • 22. Cents on the Dollar: America's Black White Wealth Gap

    22. Cents on the Dollar: America's Black White Wealth Gap
    Sep 11 2024
    Louise Story is a prize-winning investigative journalist who spent more than 15 years at the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, where she was the top masthead editor running coverage strategy. Her work investigating corruption led to the largest kleptocracy forfeiture in U.S. history, a scandal known as the 1MDB case. She teaches about racial wealth gaps at The Yale School of Management.Ebony Reed is a seasoned journalism leader who has led coverage and operations with a focus on community news. Now the Chief Strategy Officer at The Marshall Project, she has held other senior roles at the Associated Press, Boston Business Journal, The Detroit News, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and The Wall Street Journal. She’s taught at a half dozen institutions, including co-teaching with Louise at The Yale School of Management. In this episode, I speaks with journalists Ebony and Louise about their book 15 Cents on the Dollar, which explores the Black-White wealth gap in America. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, blending personal reflections with systemic insights about racial economic disparities.We cover:- How Ebony and Louise connected and the origins of the book- Personal histories and racial differences - Louise and Ebony discuss the nuances of their own family histories, such as the generational differences in wealth accumulation due to race, highlighting how systemic racial inequalities affected their fathers’ career paths and life choices.- Wealth disparities in unexpected areas - they explore how the wealth gap shows up in places like bankruptcy, home ownership, and even auto insurance, with policies that may seem neutral but disproportionately affect Black Americans.- Corporate responses after George Floyd’s murder - namely how many companies made public commitments to addressing racial disparities but question whether these efforts were sincere or simply self-serving.- International parallels - I draw some comparisons between the US and the UK using the example of insurance premiums- Personal and emotional impact - both journalists reflect on how working on the book has affected them personally, particularly how they processed their own family histories and how Ebony dealt with personal loss during the writing of the book.About the bookA sweeping, narrative history of Black wealth and the economic discrimination embedded in America's financial system.The early 2020s will long be known as a period of racial reflection. In the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, Americans of all backgrounds joined together in historic demonstrations in the streets, discussions in the workplace, and conversations at home about the financial gaps that remain between white and Black Americans. This deeply investigated book shows the scores of setbacks that have held the Black-white wealth gap in place--from enslavement to redlining to banking discrimination--and, ultimately, the reversals that occurred in the mid-2020s as the push for racial equity became a polarized political debate.Fifteen Cents on the Dollar follows the lives of four Black Millennial professionals and a banking company founded with the stated mission of closing the Black-white wealth gap. That company, known as Greenwood, a reference to the historic Black Wall Street district in Tulsa, Oklahoma, generated immense excitement and hope among people looking for new ways of business that might lead to greater equity. But the twists and turns of Greenwood's journey also raise tough questions about what equality really means.Seasoned journalist-academics Louise Story and Ebony Reed present a nuanced portrait of Greenwood's founders--the entertainment executive Ryan Glover; the Grammy-winning rapper Michael Render, better known as Killer Mike; and the Civil Rights leader and two-term Atlanta mayor, Andrew Young--along with new revelations about their lives, careers, and families going back to the Civil War. Equally engaging are the stories of the lesser-known individuals--a female tech employee from rural North Carolina trying to make it in a big city; a rising leader at the NAACP whose father is in prison; an owner of a BBQ stand in Atlanta fighting to keep his home; and a Black man in a biracial marriage grappling with his roots when his father is shot by the police.In chronicling these staggering injustices, Fifteen Cents on the Dollar shows why so little progress has been made on the wealth gap and provides insights Americans should consider if they want lasting change.
