Ep. 22: "Change The Lens"
-Nobody seems to think the New Zealand attack is that big of a deal...well we do! Just because something happens in another country doesn't mean it can't hit close to home. Without being overly political we discuss some of the ways this act of terrorism is swept under the rug or deemed "isolated"- Jess Hilarious made the mistake of thinking xenophobia had humor to it and it backfired.  Was she wrong? Yes. Is she alone? No. The deeper question that situation reveals is do black people view people other poc the same way the rest of the world does and just don't like to admit it?-Will each culture self-educating their children about their own history help to alleviate stigmas and stereotypes instead of relying on school curriculum to fix such a deep rooted issue?Chris and Brandy discuss all of that and more is the newest episode of Complicated Simplicity.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/complicatedsimplicity/message
