Wrestling While Black featuring Our Fam DON!

18 Jan 2022

Description

Wrestling is a niche sport. And with that marginalized section of the sports entertainment world, it makes it 10x harder for POC's to break into the business and have the success of their white counterparts.  In this podcast, we try to explore what we think is the issue of the slow advancement of African American POCs. We are focusing on African Americans exclusively because our podcast is 3/4s African American and we can speak to the experience. We do recognize that the advancement of POCs as a whole is an issue in itself. But for today's podcast, we will focus on the African American experience. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR: THIS ISN'T AN ATTACK ON NON-BLACK POCs or WHITE PEOPLE. THIS IS AN ATTACK ON THE SYSTEM. IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE YOU HAVE TO SHAKE THE TREE. INSTEAD OF BEING ANGRY ABOUT THE TOPIC TRY LISTENING FIRST. OPEN YOUR EARS AND MIND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING SAID. ALL WE WANT TO BE RESPECTED AND SEEN THAT ALL!
