Advertise on podcast: American Reality Check

In this last episode, I want to give the listener a look into how my perspectives on color/minority communities has changed throughout this course. I want to discuss the severity of the hardships that the African American community has gone through, and how I will never be able to truly gain an emic perspective; however, these plays alongside my girlfriend Lyn, have opened my eyes to a few of the issues that have faced the community for hundreds of years.

Throughout this episode, I will discuss how the racial divide in our country has impacted our cultures, as well as our beliefs of each different ethnicity's cultures. I will bring up in this how we cannot just use one set of rules to analyze what is considered the correct way to live; and then use this standard to exploit other people from different backgrounds.

During this first episode, I want to discuss how much of a dream the American dream truly is. Discuss how specifically for black people and black women, how the idea that merit alone will ensure success is anything but reality. This will set the tone for the podcast, and attempt to hook the listener by bringing in different perspectives of these plays different plays.
