74 – Invisible Blackness and Three-Fifths w/ John Vercher

We are joined by author and martial artist John Vercher to discuss his book Three-Fifths, what it means to pass in a racial context, the history of the One-Drop and Three-Fifths rules, the often overlooked spectrum of white supremacy, and then we talk about John's new book which is centered around the world of MMA.  We can't continue to produce important episodes like this one without your solidarity. There is no Southpaw without you and your financial support. In return, not only do you help produce the show but you also get access to more great content. It's mutual aid.
