Episode Synopsis

White people, you keep asking us what you can DO differently to be more anti-racist.  So this summer, we're answering that question in bite-sized ways.  This isn't a checklist; this is simply a primer.  If you want more, go buy our book, Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism. Today, we're hitting up some of the most common points of push-back or questions we get when we talk with White people.  Because let's be honest - talking about race and racism is uncomfortable… for everyone.  Listen in and share this episode with a friend you think might be able to talk with you about all of this!     What to listen for:  The shift we all need to take from being "not racist" to anti-racist Why you should never say you're colorblind Common points of pushback, including fear of cancel culture and perfectionism What do we say or do with our (White) kids? The huge amount of power women have in America to make a difference    Other episodes to listen to: Episode 71 with Colin Seale on critical thinking for kids Episode 100 with Ervin Staub, who survived the Nazi invasion
