306 -This episode was a community discussion for Black History Month in 2023.
Is Degrassi afraid to tell stories about race?
This week, we start a discussion about Frankie's racism plot line on Degrassi: Next Class.
Why is relatable storytelling so important on television?
When are moments that Degrassi got it right? What are moments they got wrong?
And what lessons is Degrassi teaching by telling black stories from a white perspective?
Let's talk about it!
*The creator of this podcast wants to acknowledge that they are a white person who cannot experience racism. This podcast is meant to start discussions in the community and highlight Degrassi's issue with race. White people cannot feel the effects of racism, racial bias or racial microaggressions and must do the work to recognize their inherent role in it. This episode originally included interviews with Black Degrassi fans. These segments have been removed to respect their privacy and wishes, and I take responsibility for any actions that led to this decision. Thank you for understanding.
