Enforcing Equality: Ep. 6: Blue & Black: Unpacking Stereotypes of Black Officers

Host Connie Morris explores the historical roots and everyday impacts of stereotypes about Black men in law enforcement — from the "brute" myth and sellout stigma to tokenism and restricted authority — and how these misconceptions affect careers, community trust, and mental health.

The episode calls for systemic change through diverse leadership, fair promotions, mentorship, community engagement, and better media representation while highlighting the resilience of Black officers and the need to rewrite the narrative.
