In this gripping episode of Slingshot The Podcast, host Kadida Kenner asks the question that cuts through centuries of injustice: “What the Hell Did We Ever Do to Y’all?”
Featuring Dyneco Gibson, Director of Programs at the New Pennsylvania Project (NPP), this conversation dives into the painful reality that Black Americans—unlike many other marginalized communities—have never received reparations or a national reckoning for centuries of systemic violence, exploitation, and erasure.
From the internment of Japanese Americans to the struggles of Indigenous Nations, this episode traces how others have received recognition, apologies and redress—while Black communities continue to be told to “get over it.”
🧠 Prepare to challenge what you’ve been taught and reflect deeply on what justice really looks like.
