The first internalized messages about race are the most damaging. They can take root in children from a young age and be passed on from parent to child, generation to generation, for years. These messages are often related to skin color or physical appearance. For example: "Black people are lazy." "White people are better." "Black people should not talk so loud." "White people should not smile so much." These types of messages can be especially dangerous because they encourage stereotypes and bias against certain groups without even realizing it!
In this episode, Dr. Norissa and Dr. Bukky, the podcast hosts, share Dr. Norissa’s story on internalizing messages about race, Dr. Bukky’s story of first internalized messages about race, and implicit and explicit messages. They also clearly shed more light on racial hierarchy and lateral aggression, and the four kinds of racial socialization, and black pride.
