Bias Detox: Ep7: Breaking Down "The Myth of Black Criminality"

Welcome back to Bias Detox with the Morris Perspective Podcast. I'm your host, Connie Morris, and today we confront the dangerous and ingrained myth of black criminality—a narrative shaped by media portrayals and reinforced through policy targeting Black communities disproportionately. In this engaging episode, we deconstruct how this harmful stereotype was constructed and its impact on discriminatory practices like mass incarceration, over-policing, and the school-to-prison pipeline. We dive deep into historical contexts, media portrayals, and call for the dismantling of racial biases still prevalent in our criminal justice system today. Join us as we challenge and detox from misconceptions perpetuating racial disparities.

Through a comprehensive exploration involving historical insights and personal reflections, we provide actionable steps to detox from this myth by advocating for reform, self-reflection, and informed understanding. Empower yourself with the knowledge to advocate for change and embrace media narratives that truthfully represent the diverse stories of all communities.
