We learn this: Today 1 out of every 7 young black and brown males are affected by the hiv/aids epidemic. And it wasn’t until 1987 that black and brown gay people got any agency to deal with hiv/aids, thanks to #philadelphia’s #firstblackmayor. Moreover, Reagan wasn’t interested in providing federal funding to assist black and brown people fight the disease. And black and brown peoples living with hiv/aids were poor and stigmatized more heavily than their white counterparts who were also discriminated against but was said to be racist towards black gay people. The white gay community had money, so that they never needed federal funding but did not care much for black gay people and did not share their funds with black gay people who were poor. This attitude is what defied these vulnerable groups. They are all subjugated and discriminated against but weren’t as united as they still practiced a form of racism and discrimination themselves. We explored these in the interview with David Fair in #theneoliberalround podcast season 3, episode 18 coming next on thebpodcast (available tomorrow Monday July 11, 2022.
It was very informative & powerful. We explored how the HIV/Aids epidemic speak to the issue of race & #inequality as their were racism w/in the #whitegay community towards #blackgays which didn’t have any #agency of such & lack funds to get treatment or education about hiv/aids. He explored how it wasn’t until 1987 that city government #philadelphia provided funding as most of the funds were within the white gay community as it was private funding; Blacks were poor. I will release it later tonight or tomorrow after edits.
The interview will be available on my #podcast #theneoliberalround in audio/video. It was one hour long & we even touched briefly on other topics such as child youth & family in #philadelphia, #homelessness & the efficacy of film in purporting truth. Stay tuned for the releases.
