Black History vs. American History

About this episode

This episode explores the history of Black property ownership and its impact on the racial wealth gap in America.

This episode of BarTableTalk takes a serious, unfiltered deep dive into the history of Black property ownership and how it shaped the racial wealth gap we still see today. It’s about structure. It’s about systems. It’s about truth. When we say white privilege , we’re not saying every white person had an easy life. When we say Black struggle , we’re not saying Black people are weak. We’re talking about advantages and disadvantages built into the system — historically, legally, economically, and socially.
