What Blackness can teach us about culture

Thanks for listening to the unsilent church podcast. We’re carrying forward our conversation from black history month talking about black identity in America how it has become more fluid in its essence. 

To be black in the country very much meant to push against the boundaries that were put around specific people in this country. That common experience, though wrongfully set, did create a culture that has been and will be celebrated for a long time. With that said, as those boundaries continually come down, that culture is shifting, which can be seen in the progression of media dating back to shows like Good Times, The Cosby Show and Family Matters, compared to more recent shows like Black-ish and BlackAF. 

 In this episode of the Unsilent Church, we talk about that shift and what it means, especially as we’re about enter an election season where those demographics will come into play and be the topic of many conversations. How should the church understand "Blackness," which is really a question of how the church should understand "culture." We talk about this among other things in this episode of the Unsilent Church podcast. Enjoy!
