80: Don't Talk About It, Be About It: 5 Ways To Spend Your Privilege

Today on the podcast we are talking about the power of everyday people-specifically the power we have with our daily choices, with our actions, with our words, with what we speak about and what are silent about- ultimately the power we have to create a society and culture where we are all valued, where we are all safe, and where we all embrace our shared humanity. 

 

How do we use this power? By rooting out white supremacy culture (aka white supremacy delusion).

 

Because white supremacy culture at its core- is violent. And the violence of white supremacy culture comes in all forms- there is direct violence, structural and systemic violence, interpersonal violence, and collective violence.  There is violence to the mind, heart, and psyche. There is violence to the spirit and violence to the soul.  There is violence that is passed down from generation to generation. And there is the violence of silence and complicity.  The violence of white supremacy culture is all-encompassing.  

 

The good news is this- we can root out white supremacy culture. We can deprive it of oxygen and not allow it to spread.

 

Tune into today’s episode is to learn 5 actions you can take to root out white supremacy culture. This is how we f*ck up the oppression getting in our way- in our day-to-day lives, at the individual level and the collective level.
