The "Who Taught You That?" Podcast: Recent Episodes
Sondrea Singleton, Terrence Pruitt
The "Who Taught You That?" Podcast was born to combat the crippling social and political impact of historically inaccurate, culturally incompetent, and afro-pessimistic narratives that have often led to community and cultural erasure, deficit-based perspectives, and ultimately structural harm and violence toward BIPOC folx. Recognizing that many of these narratives were learned and are currently taught in your average primary and secondary school social studies class, the hosts of WTYT? seek to confront many of those toxic narratives by asking, "Fam, who taught you that?"
Peace, Fam!
In Part 2 of this episode, we continue our heated discussion about the many myths of marijuana, the origins and original intent behind the development of these myths, how they have been used to marginalize, imprison, and restrict the futures of black folx, and how we must recondition ourselves in order to see the finesse in progress! Plus we fanned out like an old lady in the third row of a baptist church about all things Sha'Carri Richardson! Gather round!

With July 4th a couple of days away, and so many folx preparing to bathe themselves in the rituals of recanting the mythology of the "American Origin Story", we decided to take it back and to confront the myth that "America Is A Christian Nation". We want you to be prepared for the moment that special someone at the barbecue starts capping about pilgrims, manifest destiny, and all things related to white-washing the truth. Gather round, fam!

In this episode we discussed the hottest new wave in "Fam, You Tweaking Couture" and the notion that inspired it, “Critical Race Theory is Racist”. We discuss CRT, its recent crowning as the supreme anti-Amurrrican boogeyman, the true reason we believe this new trend is upon us, and what we must do to continue to create spaces for students that affirm their dignity and humanity, rather than centering whiteness.

Happy June! Happy Black History Month! Happy Anniversary of Mother Harriet aka Mother Moses putting hands, feet and the shotty on those standing in the way of liberation. With us closing in on Juneteenth, in this episode we discussed a topic that often comes up when we begin to discuss accountability and repair for those that have been harmed by this countries obsession with white supremacy - we often begin to hear the notion that “We Can’t Make Laws That Benefit Specific People”. We discuss this narrative and its absurdity, provide examples of when America had done or attempted to do reparations, and how we may have to be more creative when envisioning reparations for Black and other marginalized folx!

This week marks the 1 year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. In this episode we discuss the toxic, biased narrative that is often heard when a black body is killed or harmed by state sanctioned violence - the notion that “Only Bad People Break Laws”. We discuss why this narrative is often used, the blatant contradictions in our world that discredit this notion, and how this narrative is used to oppress Black and other marginalized folx!

May 31, 2021 marks the 100 year anniversary of the the Tulsa Race Massacre. In this episode we discuss the often heard, and severely misinformed, notion that “Tulsa Was The Only Successful Black Community”, why it is so important to learn about Greenwood and other communities that thrived, how these communities were received and treated, and how this knowledge can be used in our collective efforts to create contemporary communities where Black and other marginalized folx can thrive today!
