13. The Double-Edged Sword of Respectability Politics...

...or Your Degrees Won't Shield You From Ignorance. 

"I think ultimately, respectability politics is about believing a lie that if I do something, it will protect me from being hated or prejudiced against or killed. " - Clarence

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, we all have opinions and personal experiences to complement. On today's show, we have two guests who have a wide breadth of knowledge and extensive experience navigating the "rules" of respectability politics at home, in the office, and amongst friends. Brittney is a manager at a Fortune 100 company based out of Los Angeles, California and Clarence is a Data Scientist currently living in Washington, D.C.
