Minneapolis, Denver, NYC, Oakland, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Louisville, San Jose, Des Moines, Detroit. The list goes on. These are just some of the cities that have experienced protests in the past week.<\/p>\n
George Floyd’s murder (and murder-porn video) was one of the catalysts for these protests. But let’s be clear: Sooner or later, this was going to happen. Things are not<\/em> okay in America. America’s continuing issue with race, inequality, and the routine acceptance of the mistreatment of black people and other people of color came to a head in the last couple of days.<\/p>\n Then, we had Amy Cooper in New York City calling the police on Christian Cooper unecessarily during a normal incident that plays out all the time – annoying people with their dogs off leash. That one call could have resulted in Christian Cooper’s death.<\/p>\n In this episode of Michelle is Money Hungry<\/a>, I’m going to get candid about race in America, money and opportunity, and what’s next.<\/p>\n This is a very difficult show for me to do because I have so many thoughts racing through my mind. The goal of this episode is to give a better perspective of what people are angry about and to leave with ideas of how we collective can do better. And, honestly, I have to say something about this. And just so you know, this is not<\/em> the first time that I’ve talked about race and wealth in America on my website and podcast. (But it’s the first time J.D. has shared my work here at Get Rich Slowly.) <\/p>\n J.D.’s note:<\/strong><\/em> I’m not a podcast listener, but I listened to this episode. I liked it enough to ask Michelle if I could re-run everything here at GRS. I’m grateful that she agreed. The text here is, essentially, Michelle’s outline so it might seem rough at times. I encourage you — if you have the time — to listen to the podcast instead. If you’d rather read\/listen at Michelle’s site, here’s the original<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
