Podcasts about confronting racism

Marine veteran Sam Williams reveals the brutal reality of close-quarters combat during the Iraq War, including the infamous Second Battle of Fallujah. In this Urban Valor episode, Sam shares his experiences from the frontlines of Iraq, where he and his unit were forced to retreat from Mosul after engaging a hostile crowd and later thrown into the bloodiest urban battle of the war.Born in a trailer park and raised on a Northern Michigan farm, Sam joined the Marines seeking a sense of purpose after losing his childhood home to a fire. Over 13 years of service, he faced deadly firefights, watched close friends fall, and learned what it truly means to survive war—and life after it.

Leaders who introduce anti-racist approaches to their organizations often face backlash. In What Might Be: Confronting Racism to Transform Our Institutions (Princeton UP, 2025), Susan Sturm explores how to navigate the contradictions built into our racialized history, relationships, and institutions. She offers strategies and stories for confronting racism within predominantly white institutions, describing how change agents can move beyond talk to build the architecture of full participation. Professor Sturm argues that although we cannot avoid the contradictions built into efforts to confront racism, we can make them into engines of cross-racial reflection, bridge building, and institutional reimagination, rather than falling into a Groundhog Day–like trap of repeated failures.  Drawing on her decades of experience researching and working with institutions to help them become more equitable and inclusive, she identifies three persistent paradoxes inherent in anti-racism work. These are the paradox of racialized power, whereby anti-racism requires white people to lean into and yet step back from exercising power; the paradox of racial salience, which means that effective efforts must explicitly name and address race while also framing their goals in universal terms other than race; and the paradox of racialized institutions, which must drive anti-racism work while simultaneously being the target of it. Sturm shows how people and institutions can cultivate the capacity to straddle these contradictions, enabling those in different racial positions to discover their linked fate and become the catalysts for long-term change. The book includes thoughtful and critical responses from Goodwin Liu, Freeman Hrabowski, and Anurima Bhargava. Our guest is: Professor Susan Sturm, who is the George M. Jaffin Professor of Law and Social Responsibility and the Founding Director of the Center for Institutional and Social Change at Columbia Law School. She is the coauthor with Lani Guinier, of Who's Qualified? A New Democracy Forum on the Future of Affirmative Action.

It is a singular privilege to interview an author when their work is as powerful, instructive and intimate as What Might Be, Confronting Racism to Transform Our Institutions. In this episode of Power Station, I speak with Susan Sturm, Professor of Law and Social Responsibility at Columbia School of Law about her book, which explores her experience in tackling racism in American institutions and invites those who feel stuck on the sidelines to join in. Susan reflects on the “loving struggle” she has engaged in as a white woman working in multiracial collaborations, a practice supported by her treasured colleague, the late Lani Guinier. The book provides a window into the practice of confronting racism in predominately white institutions and the striking outcomes this work has generated. This includes the transformation of a court system whose routinized approach to calling balls and strikes each day obscured deeply embedded patterns of racial inequities which harmed litigants, court personnel of color and the broader community. We delve into Susan's vision for moving forward in a political environment that denies the existence of racism altogether. Listen, learn and share.

There's an idea in Mexico that racism doesn't exist, that all Mexicans are “mestizo” – a homogenous blend of Spanish and indigenous. But cultural worker José Antonio Aguilar says racism is lived by Black and brown Mexicans in many ways. He founded Racismo MX, an organization which seeks to dismantle racism, after coming to terms with his own racial reality as a “prieto” – a brown man. We also hear from anthropologist Ismael Rivera and Aztec expert Camilla Townsend as they unravel lies the Spanish colonizers told about ancient Aztecs that still feed racist tropes today.   Featuring: José Antonio Aguilar – Racismo MX, Founder and Director Ismael Rivera – Anthropologist, Historian, Cultural Guide Dr. Camilla Townsend, P.h.D. – Rutgers University, Professor  **Making Contact** Host: Amy Gastelum Freelance Producer: Anthony Wallace Producers: Anita Johnson, Salima Hamirani, Amy Gastelum, and Lucy Kang Executive Director: Jina Chung Engineer: [Jeff Emtman](https://jeffemtman.com/) Digital Media Marketing: Lissa Deonarain **Music** Nahuales Negros – Chinampa, Cempasúchil, Barcos A Lo Lejos, Mixquic, Teponaztli, Danza A Pakal Learn More:  Ismael Rivera Tours Racismo MX [Camilla Townsend ](https://history.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/details/188-townsend-camilla) Making Contact is a 29-minute weekly program committed to investigative journalism and in-depth critical analysis that goes beyond the breaking news.

Today we air the next episode of Flux. Chundou Her's research is on Hmong student experiences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It's significant that UW-Madison is a predominantly white institution in the Midwest of the United States because the Hmong student experiences that Chundou explores is of racism in all its forms – from stereotypical ideas about model minorities, to its links to sexism, and to the many microaggressions common on campus. In this episode, Chundou imagines multiple, parallel worlds where layers of universes simultaneously fold into each other. This may be interpreted as a form of dissociation, but it could also be understood as a space for collective healing. https://freshedpodcast.com/flux-her/ -- Today's episode was created, written, and produced by Chundou Her.

Confronting Racism by Dismantling the Illusion of RaceOur returning guest today is Dr. Sheena Mason, a powerhouse in the world of anti-racism and the author of the brand-new book, *The Raceless Anti-Racist*. If you've ever questioned the role of race in society or wondered how we can dismantle the structures that perpetuate racism, this conversation is going to challenge and inspire you. Dr. Mason is an assistant professor of English at SUNY Oneonta and holds a PhD from Howard University, specializing in Africana and American literature and philosophy of race. But what really sets her apart is her innovative approach to understanding race—or, more accurately, the illusion of it. In her new book, she takes concepts from her more academic work, *Theory of Racelessness*, that  you may remember us discussing back in DTH episode 127, and makes them accessible to a broader audience.We're going to dive into the heart of that theory. Dr. Mason and I will explore how the internalization of oppression affects us all, the very real material impacts of racism, and how tools like the 'Togetherness Wayfinder' and 'Raceless Translator' can bring people together. We'll also tackle some tough questions: What role do media, government, and capitalism play in maintaining racial divisions? And how do we dismantle the illusion of race to truly confront racism head-on?TakeawaysDr. Sheena Mason's new book, 'The Raceless Anti-Racist,' is geared towards a wider audience and introduces the concept of the Togetherness Wayfinder.Recognizing the internalization of oppression and the material impacts of racism is crucial in dismantling racism.The Togetherness Wayfinder aims to bring people together and find common humanity in the face of contentious issues. Racialization as white does not equate to experiencing anti-white racism, but rather the effects of anti-black racism.The media, government, and capitalism play a role in perpetuating divisions and maintaining hierarchies.The Raceless Translator is a tool that helps interpret race in terms of culture, ethnicity, social class, and the causes and effects of racism.Engaging in conversations and exposing oneself to different perspectives is crucial for bridging divides and promoting understanding.Learn more about and connect with Dr. Sheena Mason by checking out the full show notes at www.DerateTheHate.comWhat have you done today to make your life a better life?

This insightful discussion delves into personal agency, control, identity, and the profound impact of systemic racism, with a focus on transforming understanding and fostering societal progress.  In an enlightening and deeply moving conversation with Rev. Brig Feltus, founder of the Remember Institute, we embark on an exploration of the nuanced and multifaceted nature of race, power, oppression, and community healing. Through Brig's wealth of knowledge and compassionate perspective, we delved into the historical roots of oppression, the psychological underpinnings of privilege and bias, and the transformative power of community and awareness. Emphasizing the importance of mental health, community involvement, and the rejection of consumerist complicity in oppression, the Remember Institute's 'Heal Thyself' program aims to foster a collective understanding, empathetic dialogue, and a dedicated movement towards healing racial divisions and transforming societal structures.   00:00 Exploring Control and Identity in Relationships 00:36 Reflecting on Parental Influence and Generational Differences 02:17 The Evolution of Parenting: From Boomers to Gen X 05:55 Embracing Community and the Value of Shared Experiences 07:06 The Impact of Industrialism and Capitalism on Family and Community 10:38 Navigating the Challenges of Modern Parenting and Societal Expectations 11:27 The Power of Community in Personal and Societal Well-being 17:16 Redefining Value and Success in a Capitalist Society 30:25 Confronting the Realities of Systemic Oppression and Seeking Change 42:56 The Urgent Need for Societal Transformation and Collective Action 50:09 Unveiling the Shadows: The Evolution of Fear and Control 51:12 Historical Roots: From Religion to Propaganda 51:59 Cultural Appropriation and Historical Misconceptions 54:13 The Power of Community and Empathy 55:44 Personal Journeys: Race, Identity, and Advocacy 56:02 The Impact of Ethnic Background on Advocacy 59:49 Confronting Racism and Embracing Diversity 01:05:26 Understanding Privilege and the Need for Change 01:16:25 The Role of Education in Combating Racism 01:34:32 A Call to Action: Community Involvement and Personal Responsibility   ---------------------- ✨ Sign up for the next Heal Thyself cohort (May 1 - August 6) ***Use code: nikki for 25% off at checkout*** https://www.rememberinstitute.com/healthyself

While she's trying to make sense of the hostility that she faces from outsiders, she's also dealing with the everyday struggle of being a young woman.

It's high time we pulled back the veil on the darkened narrative of racism and its impact on people of color. Today's episode is a deep-dive into how history has been manipulated, and the damaging half-truths that have resulted. We look at how these distortions have permeated our collective consciousness, and challenge you to explore deeply ingrained biases and insecurities. As we expose the harsh realities of racism and the psychological effects it has, we also shine a light on the potential for change. This is not about being 'non-racist', but 'anti-racist', fully understanding and confronting white privilege and its implications. We examine the laws limiting the movements of people of color and the reaction of white nationalists in attempting to rewrite history - but we also invite you to be a part of the solution.Finally, we encourage you to join us in the journey toward empathy and understanding. We discuss the power of confession, the importance of open dialogue, and the strength in recognizing our shared human experience. Together, we can challenge the narrative, expose lies, and shape a more nuanced understanding of our history. Tune in and let's move towards a brighter, more inclusive future.Thanks for listening.

In these times of intense polarization we all need to find time to expand our Frame of Reference.

Embracing the Power of Storytelling: My Journey in Confronting Racism and Driving Change Join me on a deeply personal and transformative journey as I share my experiences and reflections on racism, injustice, and the profound impact of storytelling. Witnessing the tragic murder of George Floyd compelled me to take action and speak up, realizing that it could have easily been someone from my own family. As a nurse leader, I've faced numerous challenges in the healthcare industry, often being in the minority. Throughout my career, I've learned the immense power of stories in shaping our lives and fostering connections.In this inspiring talk, I encourage you to tap into the strength of your own narrative and use it as a tool for connection and transformation. I'll be candid about my frustration with remaining silent for years, witnessing injustice and degradation without the courage to speak out. However, I discovered that stories have the incredible ability to resonate and impact those they are shared with, empowering us to take action.I'll share personal experiences of facing racism and insensitivity in the workplace, and how those events led me to create the "aware strategy" to address prejudices head-on. Despite the pain and challenges, I've found gratitude in responding to my moment and working towards a better future.Together, we'll explore the importance of acknowledging racial injustice in healthcare and the significance of listening to others' experiences to gain perspective and address our own biases. I'll share stories that will help allies understand and navigate these difficult conversations, and how finding our voices can lead to healing and resilience.Join me as I reveal four empowering mindset shifts that will help you tackle racism and achieve your goals with strength and determination.

Dr. Brittani James, family physician and Co-Founder of The Institute for Antiracism in Medicine, joins KP in the ongoing discussion addressing health equity. Dr. James begins the conversation by sharing her upbringing, witnessing segregated systems in and outside the healthcare system. She reveals how the Covid-19 pandemic spotlighted the racial disparities in the healthcare systems and the mental health impact on the Black community. While attending medical school at the University of Michigan, Dr. James reflects learning how black individuals are more inclined to experience health issues, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, but never taught the explanation of why. She further explains how race is often regarded as a biologically distinct entity, which has led to false conclusions that people of color are biologically different. This fundamental flaw inaccurately suggests and justifies the concept that people of color are “inferior” to other races on a biological and genetic level. Dr. James discusses how this misconception is evident in research studies, especially in medical journals, which are primary sources of information in medicine. She provides insights into the harmful effects of the lack of editorial neutrality in medical journals, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association, blocking scholarship of racism and findings in research. The Institute of Antiracism in Medicine is designed to train clinicians to recognize implicit biases by providing tools to serve as advocates for their patients, understanding how to engage in the topic of racism, and ultimately eliminating racism from the healthcare system. Dr. James explains confronting racism and implementing change requires a clear understanding of its foundation. The first steps to creating change involve identifying your influence and recognizing relationships in your life.  Connect with Dr. Brittani James:www.drbrittanijames.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drbrittanij/https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-institute-for-antiracism-in-medicine/Connect with KP:linkedin.com/in/kaakpema-kp-yelpaala-379b269/inonhealth.com/podcastinonhealth.com/

More than a third of Black workers report being treated unfairly in the workplace in the past year because of their race or ethnicity, a survey released in May 2021 revealed by the Society for Human Resource Management found. That number rises to 42% for Black workers over a longer time period of five years, the Cost of Racial Injustice report found. The percentages for Asian workers was 26%, while 21% of Hispanic or Latino workers said they were unfairly treated during the five-year period. For white workers, the number was 12%. Jared Karol is on a mission to change the conversation surrounding racism in the workplace. Jared is the author of the book, A White Guy Confronting Racism.

We track down a Chinese film maker in Malawi who used local children to film personalised greeting videos, some of which included racist content. These videos were sold on Chinese media and internet platforms – with the communities in Malawi none the wiser about the purpose of the content. Runako Celina reflects on how the attitudes she encountered on this investigation were reminiscent of her own experience as a black woman living in Beijing. Russians have been glued to talk shows presenting an alternative narrative of the invasion of Ukraine: characterising the invasion as a special operation. Frances Scarr speaks to those who believe Putin's actions are legitimate - confronting a perceived aggressor - and necessary. In Catalonia, support for the separatist movement has dwindled in recent years. But it was thrown back in the spotlight during the Pegasus scandal, in which spyware was found to have been used by Spain's authorities to monitor its members. Victor Lloret met someone who was also tracked by Pegasus. Iraqi Airways was once a badge of pride for many people. But the analogue-era service from Iraq's ageing flag carrier is a symptom of the country's state bloat. According to critics, money is spent on hiring huge numbers of staff in government-owned companies rather than investing in much-needed infrastructure. But the flights themselves are at least reliable, says Lizzie Porter. Our correspondent joins a kayak trip in Fajardo, in Puerto Rico's East. The region is famous for its nature reserves and for the coqui frog. The singer, known as Dessa, encountered these frogs on a recent visit to the island.

Although some have known it for decades, the Covid pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have brought the fact that systemic racism pervades our healthcare system into mainstream conversation. And just as racism influences healthcare outcomes and service delivery, it impacts the experiences and opportunities of healthcare workers. Yet where I sit in Quebec, our Premier, François Legault, has never acknowledged the existence of systemic racism, even after Joyce Echaquan, a First Nations woman, died at the hands of openly racist hospital staff in September 2020, an event that marked the public and became something like Quebec's own George Floyd moment. That's what comes to mind for me when my next guest says that we can't fix a problem without first recognizing that it exists. While I feel I understand the reality of systemic racism, I have to reckon with the fact that I only know a handful of black physicians, and know very little of their journey in medicine, their experiences, or their ideas. A few months ago I read an exciting announcement from McGill University's Faculty of Medicine about a new Black Candidate Pathway for medical school admissions and a bursary sponsored by the Cadet Family Foundation, and spearheaded by Nicolas Cadet, a graduate of McGill's medical school, an ophthalmologist, and the first black oculoplastic surgeon in Canada. After that, Nicolas and I connected over social media. As we exchanged messages and spoke, I saw that he was a passionate, charismatic, ambitious physician and activist, who was deeply committed to improving healthcare both in Montreal's black community and in his father's native Haiti, and to tackling the ways systemic racism and marginalization keep young black people out of the healthcare professions. My conversation with Nicolas allowed me to hear directly from him about the ways he's experienced racism and discrimination in his training and practice, his ambitions for transforming healthcare, and the moral core that guides him as a physician and person.Nicolas Cadet is an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon, or eyelid surgeon, practicing in Montreal. He completed medical school at McGill University, his ophthalmology residency at Université of Montréal, and his fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive oculofacial plastic surgery as well as orbital and lacrimal surgery at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He is also a philanthropist and social entrepreneur, and the founder of the Cadet Foundation, Oculoplastics Without Limits, and the Alliance of Black Healthcare Professionals of Quebec. Hearing and learning from Nicolas was a privilege, and felt like the building of a small bridge between our two realities. Links:-Nicolas's website-McGill University interview with Nicolas-Trabian Shorters website and "On Being" interview -Physician–patient racial concordance and disparities in birthing mortality for newborns, PNAS 2020Intro essay sources:-After Echaquan Report, Legault Repeats There Is No Systemic Racism in Quebec, Montreal Gazette Recorded February 10, 2022Music: Mr Smith  Art: Jeff Landman
