Summary

This past week we’ve had some deep and meaningful conversations about responding to the myth of “Black on Black crime.” As our conversations unfolded I realized that I left out one key detail, rich people commit crimes too! I made this clarification on our “Ask Jasmine” segment this week and wanted to make sure it had a permanent place in the podcast library.

“Ask Jasmine” is a mini podcast segment that we send out to our Fam Favorites email list. Each week I choose one of your questions to answer, the question for this week is: How do you respond when someone says "Those communities are the ones who need the police the most"?

0:47.3	journey with you. Hello, First Name Basis fam. I am so glad you are here. All right, I bet you're wondering why in the
0:58.7	world you are hearing from me twice in one week? Well, it's because I feel like there was something
1:04.3	that I left out of the episode this week. So this week, our episode is called What About Black on Black
1:10.5	Crime? And in that episode,
1:11.8	I explain everything you need to know about responding to that question, how you can dispel the
1:17.2	myth that black people are more violent than white people and so on. So the thing that I feel like I left
1:23.8	out of the episode is the fact that rich people commit crimes to. I was very specifically
1:31.2	talking about violent crime in this episode, but I don't think I made that very clear. So this week,
1:36.8	when I was recording the Asked Jasmine question, I realized that the question that was asked
1:41.3	lent itself perfectly to this addition that I needed to make
1:45.3	to the episode. So if you haven't yet heard the episode, what about black on black crime?
