White People Make Everything About Race
A podcast for well meaning white folks, trying to make sense of their own racial identity.
Episodes 1-7 of season 2, “Is White Privilege a Lie?" are available now!
----
If you’re white like me, at some point you’ve probably been told it’s not polite to talk about race. But have you ever really thought about race? About your own race? About what it means for you?
Welcome to a show that asks the question: what does it mean to be well meaning and white in a society that has failed to fully address racial disparities?

Season 2, Episode 7: The Five Phantoms of White Privilege; Part 4, Acceptance & the Benefit of the Doubt
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We can go about our day-to-day lives as people who are treated as white, and easily fail to recognize the subtle ways that bias and prejudice show up when others face it, when we unintentionally perpetrate it, and and when our own path may be cleared through its absence.
White privilege delivers us the assumption that we will be accepted wherever we may go, that we have a right to be wherever we are and wherever we want to be. It is the assumption that we are well intentioned and capable, with allowances to not be perfect all the time. It is the assumption that what we say matters, and it is being given the time, space, and attention to say those things.
