94: Helping Our People

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Black Entertainer Roles and Competition

Psychiatrist Dr. Frances Cress Welsing argues that the system of white supremacy programs black people into roles as entertainers and athletes rather than scientists or doctors. The discussion frames hip-hop as a competitive sport, citing the "flow state" and the history of battle rapping and crowd control. This competitive nature is contrasted with other musical genres where aging is viewed differently.
