Black is not the color. In this episode, Franck Zanu sits down with Elizabeth Perkins, an education technologist from Los Angeles, to challenge how we define Blackness in America and across the African diaspora. In this episode we discuss: - The one-drop rule and why Black Americans claim mixed-race individual. How South Africa's "Coloured" population challenges American racial categories Why Tiger Woods and Barack Obama spark identity debates Colorism and the global obsession with lighter skin Stockholm syndrome and its connection to post-colonial identity Why racial identity works completely differently outside of America ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW FRANCK ZANU: TikTok: @zanuprojectrethink Instagram: @zanuprojectrethink All Links: https://linktr.ee/zanuprojectrethink ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drop your thoughts in the comments - we encourage healthy debate!
