157: The Racist History of the "Child Welfare" System w/Ieshaah Murphy


Listen Later

Today, Hunter spoke with Professor Ieshaah Murphy to understand how the racist history of the “Child Welfare” should inform our understanding of that very systems today. When analyzing a system for any type of systemic bias, it is essential to understand bot the past and present of the system. If a system that claims to be race neutral, but started with a clear racial animus and continues to produce racially disparate outcomes, it is compelling evidence that its bias initial purpose may still be active to this day.
