The death of George Floyd as well as many other cases of police violence have brought thousands of Utahns out into the street to protest day after day and night after night.

I chat with University of Utah education professor Dr. William A. Smith about his concept of "Racial Battle Fatigue." This psychosocial phenomenon reveals itself in the lives of many African Americans in the form of adverse health effects (e.g. hypertension). We discuss how the phenomenon manifests differently among men and women, shpecifically how health effects are exacerbated for black men as a subordinated male group (listeners should explore the subordinate male threat hypothesis). Overall, we explore the general health consequences of being continually armored against in an anti-black society.

This episode focuses on the idea of self-care vs. self-hate; specifically in marginalized groups including those of race.
