Listen "Examining the Black Experience with Reggie Johnson"

Episode Synopsis

Black Americans' self-reports of being treated unfairly in a variety of situations are generally steady or higher rather than declining. This includes a new high of 35% who say they personally were treated unfairly while shopping during the past 30 days, up from 24% last year. In five other situations, reports of recent unfair treatment are similar to a year ago and range from 17% to 21%.
In general, Black Americans are no less likely to report being treated unfairly in any of the five situations now than they were when Gallup first asked the items in 1997. The healthcare item was first asked in 2004.
Reggie Johnson used to do a show on the radio on Star 92.3 in Mississippi named Tech Talk which was about tech info. In 2016 after moving back to Atlanta he wanted to get back into radio but a friend of his suggested he start a podcast instead. Fast forward to 2018 and he finally did. He does a show named "Reg in ATL" and a sports show named "Just the Stats" with his co-host Eugene Morton. He’s been doing it consistently every week.  He joined me this week, to have an in-depth conversation about the black experience in America. How far we’ve come and how far we still need to go, to achieve prosperity and an equitable future for black Americans
