Racial Empathy Bias
Manage episode 484059180 series 3248071
In this episode, we explore racial empathy bias, the tendency to show more compassion and outrage for suffering in white or Western communities, while often ignoring or downplaying the pain experienced by Black and African communities. Why do global leaders and media respond differently to crises in Congo or Sudan compared to those in Europe? How is this selective empathy rooted in colonial history and racism? We break down the impact of this bias, how it devalues Black lives, and what we can do to challenge it. From shifting media narratives to supporting African-led initiatives, this episode is a call to action for justice, solidarity, and equal compassion.
