#3240: Do Black People (Have To) Work “Twice As Hard”? [Part 1 of 2]

podcast March 27, 2025


Background
share close

This is part one of a two-part series on the belief that black people have to work twice as hard to get the same opportunities as others. You’ve probably heard this idea before—maybe you even believe it. But is it actually true? In this masterclass, I break down where this belief comes from, why so many people accept it without question, and whether or not it holds up to logic. Tune in as I challenge common assumptions and give you a different perspective on the topic.

Show Notes:

[06:27]#1 Most of you motherfuckers ain’t doing shit when it comes to hard work.
 
[19:40]#2 You do sometimes need to be significantly better or more accomplished depending on what space you’re stepping into and who you are competing against.

[27:47]#3 Business and the professional world are not meritocracies. Your qualification is highly subjective.
