Podcasts about talking about racism

Talking about race, identity, or politics used to be a step toward progress. Lately, it can feel like a landmine. How do we navigate that shift without staying silent—or getting canceled? In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Sara Blanchard: TEDx speaker, life coach, co-author of Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism, and co-host of the podcast What Do You Mean By That?Together, they unpack what it means to stay in difficult conversations when everything in our culture tells us to opt out. Sara shares why it's not about being perfect—it's about being present. She talks about her journey from Wall Street to social change, how her multiracial identity shaped her worldview, and why white women have a critical role to play in building a more inclusive future.This episode is a practical guide for anyone who wants to engage—but doesn't know where to start. From questions to ask yourself, to how to respond when things get uncomfortable, Sara offers the tools we all need to show up better for one another.Website sarablanchard.com LinkedIn Sara BlanchardInstagram @sarablanchardauthor https://www.whatdoyoumeanbythat.com/ https://www.sarablanchard.com/ https://worldhappinesssummit.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1_DIh33LfXaiEiOscEyGQInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/alitakguillen/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10secondstoair/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alitaguillen/Web: https://www.alitaguillen.com/Web: https://www.10secondstoair.com/

When James Baldwin went on the Dick Cavett Show in 1969, he was asked a very loaded question: why aren't Black people more optimistic? Jim Crow laws had been outlawed, Black people were becoming mayors and successful businesspeople… so why was he still talking about race?Obviously racism didn't “end” with the Civil War, or the Civil Rights Act, or Obama's election. In fact, Donald Trump has spurred a resurgence — there's been a nearly 50% increase in white supremacy groups just in the past few years. And yet he's waging a war on Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs, Critical Race Theory, and the very notion that racism still exists.But racism – and anti-Blackness in particular – is still a powerful force. It's built into the very structure of the country. It shows up in politics, medicine, sports, education, and even eBay.In this week's episode of Okay But Why, we explore the history of anti-Blackness in America, how it manifests to this day, and what we can do about it. If you want to learn more, there are so many books, films, and podcasts out there! Check out Code Switch, The 1619 Project, Stamped From The Beginning, The Black Friend, White Tears/Brown Scars, Hood Feminism, or the upcoming The Race Track: How The Myth of Equal Opportunity Defeats Racial Justice.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Pastor Alex is joined by his good friend, Reggie Dabbs for a discussion on the state of racism in the US at the start of 2025. Both PA and Reggie have written books about racism and they talk about everything from their personal examples of dealing with racism, how dealing with racism is cycling through the stage of grief, to the way racism affects us in many different ways. The focal point of the conversation is diving into what the Bible has to say about us dealing with racism. This is a great discussion that you don't want to miss. (Be sure to check out Reggie's book, “Not So Black and White” as well as Pastor Alex's book, “Let's Start Again”) Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Once in a while, the Antioch Podcast gets to take our show on the road, and this month, four of us had the privilege of speaking as a team at Calvin University for their annual Unlearn Week, a week dedicated to unlearning stereotypes, biases and racism. This speaking series, which is open to the public … Continue reading Episode 214: Unlearn 2022 – “Talking About Racism as Friends.”

If you asked me (Misasha) at the end of 2021 how long it had been since we published our book, I would have told you 5 years, give or take 3 - because it felt like we had been thrown into this whirlwind of activity and PR and interviews and ALL OF THE THINGS about this book. So it seems impossible that just now marks the one-year anniversary of the publication of Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism!   In honor of this one-year mark, we thought we'd sit down with each other to talk all things book, based on the questions we've gotten from so many of you over the last year: the good, the bad, the really tough, the things we'd like to forget - basically your behind-the-scenes look into our year with this book out in the world.   Plus, as a thank you for your support, keep listening for the chance to have us do a special virtual drop-in with your book club or your small group of people!!   What to listen for:  The most memorable, joyful, cringeworthy conversations we've had on TV, radio, and conversations IRL since publishing this book in October 2021 Why we wrote this book in the first place Where we'd like to see this book go next How to get us to come to YOUR book club or community - follow us on IG and get on our email list to learn more!    

Over the last 3.5 years, we've had this weekly podcast (now on episode 182!), we've written a book (Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism), and we've spoken with many different people at many different organizations.  Meaning, we've heard and learned a lot of things.   With a few exceptions, our sense is that people *want* to be seen as good people; they say they *want* to be more anti-racist.  But despite their best intentions, some things get in the way of you actually *doing* something to make positive change: You don't feel like you know enough, you don't want to make a mistake, and so you don't feel like you know what to actually do.   So this episode is meant as a kick in the pants at the end of our summer of action, to give you a LOT of ideas.  Listen through and if something sparks your interest or speaks to you, write it down; remember it; come back to it and DO it.     Listen for tips on what you can do at your kitchen table, your workplace, the voting booth, with your money, at your kids' schools if you have kids, and more.    And then the best thing you can do?  Share this episode with a friend - and let us know what you think!   Related episodes:  Episode 139: Vote for Humanity 

In our book, we talk about the federal boarding schools that were just for Native American children - and by boarding schools, we mean that the U.S. government rounded up Native children over the course of 150 years (!!), separated them from their parents and often took them hundreds of miles away… and often times, those kids never came home.    If you haven't heard that story (which is fairly common, given the erasure of the Native narrative in this country), this episode is for you, because without understanding this history, you won't understand how we are where we are now with over 570 federally recognized Native American Nations within the United States - while most people we hear say they're not sure they've ever spoken with a person of Native descent.    For more, go buy our book, Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism, and make sure you're following this podcast for more!   What to listen for:  How last year, Deb Haaland, who is the first Native American woman to hold a Cabinet office position in the US government (she's Secretary of the Interior), commissioned the first ever report on the Federal Indian Boarding School System  How the government coerced Native families into sending their kids (it really wasn't a choice), and the (horrific) conditions the children experienced in the schools - including the discovery of many unmarked graves What questions have yet to be answered, what you can do about sharing history like this including  in your kid's schools, how you can respect the Native lands you currently live on, and participate in reparations.   Click here for the full report. Listen to our episode with Crystal Echohawk here.

Have you ever been that kid who tugged at the corner of your eyes, pretending to be Asian, or maybe even mocked people of Asian descent?  In today's episode, Sara shares the story of when a little neighborhood boy did that to her.     Sure, there might be some sweeping generalizations you can make about Asian people - a lot tend to have dark hair, more almond-shaped eyes - but the truth is, in America, people who fall into the broad bucket of “Asian” have among the largest differences of all the large groupings like White, or Black, or Hispanic.  Asians are NOT all the same.   So today, we'll discuss all the basic things you need to know about the model minority myth - NO we are not all good at math nor do we all play the violin - and what you can do differently to make sure you're not that person.     For more, go buy our book, Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism, and make sure you're following this podcast for more!   What to listen for:  When and how the concept of a model minority was created The things that are wrong about the model minority myth   Three things you can do differently: catch yourself if you make assumptions about Asian people; don't ask “where are you really from?” and know why that's not okay; learn more about the many different narratives of Asian countries and people.   Related episodes: Episode 107: We have a White accountability problem Episode 112: Asians at (Public) School, with Alan Mak Episode 113: Anti-Asian Racism Ain't New, People Episode 115: Asians at Work, with Jerry Won

In 2020, after the murder of George Floyd, many of us heard the phrase “qualified immunity” for the first time in a new light - but what does the phrase even mean?  And why is it so important when we think about police, driving (or existing) while Black, and civil rights in this country?  We'll talk about all of this in today's episode, so we can help set some context for a major conversation happening in our country - one about abolition.     Listen in, and if you want more, go buy our book, Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism, and make sure you're following this podcast for more!   What to listen for:  What it is - Qualified immunity is a defense that law enforcement and other government officials can use in defense against lawsuits that ask for monetary damages for alleged civil rights violations. In other words, it's a way that officers can avoid being held liable for his or her actions. Examples of when qualified immunity has been called into action, to make it easier to understand Information about how qualified immunity is not actually a law; it was a judicial doctrine that was created and then restated by the Supreme Court through Section 1983  Why we still have qualified immunity - fear, not based in fact - and what we as a society might do differently to give victims a means of seeking justice   More information on qualified immunity through the Equal Justice Initiative and Public Justice.    Related Episodes: Episode 67: How the US Police System has Failed Black People Since Inception Link to episodes on Black Codes Episode 140: Becoming Abolitionists, with Derecka Purnell    

So our book, Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism is broken into three sections: On Being White in America; On Being Black in America; On Being a Non-Black Person of Color in America.   And here's the question we get when people see that structure: Why do we need to focus on the experiences of Black people in this country?  In this episode, we tell you why - including sharing some things we all need to (re)learn, since it's not all taught in our schools.   What to listen for:  Establishing that slavery was part of the founding of this country Why we are still talking about this, two years after the murder of George Floyd (including Misasha's personal feelings about her family's safety - and how that fear hasn't changed AT ALL over the last couple of years) Book recommendations to learn more of the history we weren't taught in schools, including The New Jim Crow, The Sum of Us, How the Word Was Passed, and our book  

All Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, and decentering the White experience in these conversations.  That's what we're discussing in today's episode, because White people, you keep asking us what you can DO differently to be more anti-racist.  And while we won't offer a checklist, we do have an incredible, level-setting book Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism that you can buy to learn more!   What to listen for:  What Black Lives Matter *really* means Alicia Garza's quote: “Black Lives Matter doesn't mean your life isn't important - it means that Black lives, which are seen as without value within White supremacy, are important to your liberation.” The two analogies we use in reply, when someone says, “but All Lives Matter…” An explanation for why “Blue Lives Matter” is not a valid comparison or rebuttal to Black Lives Matter

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 talking about what the real differences are between performative allyship and real allyship.  What does it take to actually be an ally, as opposed to just calling yourself one?  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:  What performative allyship looks like, especially when it comes to social media How to be a better White friend What you need to DO to be a real ally (key word being DO), and concrete ways that you can make change in your own spheres of influence   Other episodes to listen to: Episode 87, on how to be an ally when you feel overwhelmed Episode 129, on how to have conversations past performative allyship with Jeff Harry

As biracial - Japanese and White - hosts of a long-running weekly podcast, we are very aware that, given how we look, we have, at times, benefited from White privilege.  We are also very clear that this is a privilege that Misasha's Black husband will never once benefit from. Today's short episode dives into defining what White privilege is, explaining common misconceptions of the term, and what to do when we (or others) push back against accepting the truth about our privilege.  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:  What is White privilege?  It means the privilege White people have of NOT getting knocked down a peg based on their skin color Explaining common misperceptions - including making it clear that White privilege is NOT financial privilege (though governmental policy has been biased against the financial success of people of color) How do we help ourselves when we want to deny our own privilege?  What do we say when other people say they don't have White privilege?   More resources: Chapter 2 of our book, Dear White Women, Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism.  

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

Episode 5 features Vanessa Sturman, Co-Founder and Co-Director of The Vegan Larder. On this episode we heard that sometimes the path we set out on changes, and that's ok. Vanessa has been balancing a career in change management with running a startup, which is no easy feat. Often, as entrepreneurs, we can get lost in our businesses or be so set on achieving what we set out to do, we can lose sight of opportunities. Or you can burn yourself out trying to be ‘successful'. Vanessa and her business partner started an incredible physical product business but through that process realized there was an opportunity to pivot to a model that brought them happiness and made more impact.  We talked about how organization, boundaries, and communication are crucial to your well-being. How affirmations can help you survive cold showers (which caused me to cry from laughter at how wonderful this habit of Vanessa's is).   If you're wondering about what it's like running a business and a career, curious about plant-based food or cold showers, tips and advice on organization and communication, or want to feel empowered to get involved in changing racist behaviors and thoughts, give this one a listen. If you are curious about plant-based food, you can check out The Vegan Larder's delicious recipes on their website https://theveganlarder.com/ You can check out the free community Vanessa mentioned, How To Go Plant Based, where you can get inspiration and recipes and help with your plant-based eating questions (whether you want to be vegan or not). https://www.facebook.com/groups/howtogoplantbased/ Find Vanessa's company The Vegan Larder on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vegan_larder/ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

On this special episode we talk about how we're trying to be allies in the Black Lives Matter movement.

In this episode I sit down with the boys to talk about racism in light of the George Floyd murder and following protests. I didn't know where to start, but figured I needed to start somewhere with an in depth conversation. iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wandering-podcast/id1504302477 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7ArjnOLzvhx4uodFFYVmwm

Race is a hotbed topic that many people continue to tiptoe around (mainly out of fear of being labeled a racist or an Uncle Tom). White privilege, police shootings, the Black Lives Matter movement, strident calls for 'diversity' and 'inclusion', race-baiting, seeing racism everywhere, affirmative action, racial sensitivity training, racial equity policies -- in today's political and social environment issues surrounding race have become more polarizing than ever. We're not living in a...
