#061: Black Trauma Treatment Planning (w/ Jason Myles & Pascal Robert)

Jason Myles & Pascal Roberts, from the THIS IS REVOLUTION podcast join us to talk about black trauma from a political economy and Marxist perspective. Jason and Pascal had Catherine Liu on their show recently to talk specifically about "black trauma spectacle" ongoing within the culture industry, liberal media, and other areas of American society. We asked them what they thought more broadly about the concept of black trauma, racial trauma, intergenerational trauma, and what kind of "treatment plan" is needed to remedy the suffering of those who may suffer under capitalism more disproportionately than others. More therapy for racialized peoples? Reparations and other "race first" programs? So-called "class reductionist" politics? Also, should Harriet compliment men's balls?
