  • Summary

  • Thanks for listening to the unsilent church podcast. This is our third episode talking about idea of a post-black America—and can something like that really exist. We’re in an election year at the time of this recording, and there’s no more effective way to force a conversation than to present people with two polar opposites and force them to choose. Psychologists use this tactic often for personality inventories like the Myers Briggs Type Indicator.

Like those tests, an election with what feels like a choice between complete opposites, forces a kind of conversation amongst people with more freedoms to choose than ever before. Today, Black people have far more freedom to choose than this time 100 years ago, even a little over 50 years ago. Those choices are identifying in a way that make it more challenging today to put into words exactly what it means to “be Black.” 50-100 years ago, that answer would have been much easier, but with the increase in freedom, choice and thereby privilege, answering that question isn’t as easy as it once was. So in this episode of the Unsilent Church, we discuss our understanding of what it means to be black and the elements we believe need to be preserved regardless of how much more or less freedom, choice and privilege we gain (or lose) over the years.
