  • Trey’s Table Episode 322: White Worship in Asian and Black Communities
    Trey’s Table Episode 322: Why We Still Pick the White Dolls



    ✨ Episode 322: The Clarks’ Doll Test & the Legacy of Internalized Racism ✨

    In the 1940s, psychologists Drs. Kenneth and Mamie Clark conducted a groundbreaking experiment: Black children were asked to choose between Black and white dolls. The results were heartbreaking—most children preferred the white doll, calling it “nice” and “good,” while rejecting the Black doll as “bad” . This revealed the brutal psychological toll of segregation and white supremacy on Black self-perception.

    Decades later, studies—including modern recreations—show similar biases persist . On *Trey’s Table*, we dive into:
    - **How systemic racism shapes identity** from childhood .
    - **The Clarks’ role in *Brown v. Board***—and why their findings remain urgent .
    - **Internalized racism in Black & Asian communities**—how stereotypes endure and how we resist .

    The doll test isn’t just history—it’s a mirror. Tune in to explore how we confront its legacy today. 🎧 **Link in bio!**

    The Black Church has been our sanctuary. But for too many, it’s also been a site of betrayal.

    This week on #treystable, we’re confronting the unspoken crisis: sexual abuse in the Black Church. From pastors who exploit power to systems that silence survivors, it’s time to name the harm—and chart a path to healing.
