Normalized Dysfunction

from Brokenhearted · host Althea Branton

A long time ago a bunch of people got scared about their slaves.  They thought they were gonna (air quotes) get them.  So they decided to keep them in check.  They decided that they were less than human; abnormal; inferior.  Hundreds of years later this core belief rooted in fear has become a normal part of our society. In this episode, I break down how we as a collective have normalized dysfunction as part of the human experience.   Let me know your thoughts by leaving me a voice message below this episode.
