Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast. The myth of we're past all that. Welcome back, No-It-alls, to another episode of the most anticipated podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network, especially in February. And it's entitled, I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I am your host, BDOT. And I'm sure you've heard this before.
Starting point is 00:02:41 I know they fill up the comment section on our Instagram. Make sure you're following IDK, M-Y-D-E with an underscore before it and behind it. But it's somebody always saying, Oh, slavery. Slavery was a long time ago. Oh, how about Jim Crow? Jim Crow is over. Or this one right here. Y'all keep bringing up the past.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Why do you keep living in the past? Oh, this is the backbreaker right here. That was hundreds of years ago. We're past all that now. Right. Then explain while we still arguing about the same stuff. How about we open up that case file? But before we do, I've got to give you three of the most useless facts you'll never need.
Starting point is 00:03:22 need ever not a day in life about how we're not past all that. Up first, the Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. That wasn't even two generations ago, y'all. Ask your grandparents about it. They remember it's not ancient. Your second useless fact, the Fair Housing Act didn't pass until 1968. That was after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, folks. And your third useless fact, most of the wealth gap in America, it was formed
Starting point is 00:03:52 after slavery, not during it. As a matter of fact, did you know that the median white family has about eight times the wealth of the median black family? And did you know that that gap widened after reconstruction, after redlining, after the GI Bill was denied to black veterans? Because I didn't. Look, here's the trick behind, oh, come on, we're past all that. It collapses time.
Starting point is 00:04:28 It takes unfinished business and labels it ancient. so nobody has to deal with it. Yes, on paper, slavery ends in 1865. But segregation explodes right after. Jim Crow lasts nearly 100 years. Rail line in shapes where people live at. Schools get defunded. Jobs get blocked.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Wealth gets extracted. And then somebody looks at the results and says, Why can't y'all just move on? Well, why can't you just pull yourselves up by your bootstraps? Those four words, we're past all that. Only works if you're. you never talk about what came after. And that's exactly what Carter G.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Woodson was warning us about 100 years ago. He said if you disconnect people from their history, you can convince them that their position is natural. And that's the myth. The truth is, we're not past it. We're living with it. And pretending otherwise don't heal a damn thing. It just freezes the conversation.
Starting point is 00:05:22 A whole century after Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week, the myth has just been upgraded. Now it's not... Black people don't have history. It's... Black history. History doesn't matter anymore. Same goal.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Different packaging. And Carter G. Woodson knew that the lie would evolve. That's why preservation had to be permanent. But the next time you hear somebody say, we're past all that. Your retort should be you don't get past something that you never finished dealing with. And I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Maybe you didn't either. On the Adventures of Curiosity Cove podcasts, when peanut butter disappears from school, Ella, Scout, and Layla launch a full detective mission.
