44: Race, White Privilege, & Passive Racism

from The Brain Candy Podcast

This episode was inspired by a recent story about a news anchor who took to her Facebook page (which was connected to her company) and spouted off some prejudiced nonsense about a shooting in the Pittsburgh area. We discuss her post, my reaction to it on Facebook and the response of the public. Plus, we talk about how being on reality TV changed the way we saw privilege, race, and stereotyping. We discuss accidental racism, how we try to combat our own implicit biases, and more.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
