Ep 163: Plantation Theory Pt 2 w/John Graham

from The Culture Soup Podcast®️ · host L Michelle Smith

Riddle me this:If you wouldn't ask an abused spouse to fix their abusive partner, why would we ask BIPOC and other underrepresented groups to help the companies that do not center them to become an anti-racist workplace or even build diversity, equity and inclusion programs?Someone else built the system, so why can't they dismantle it? And if what author John Graham Jr. proposes in his book Plantation Theory is true, why would so many members of marginalized groups try? And is there trouble in store for the allies who take up the mantle to do the real work? If you don't want to go deep with us, don't listen, but we explore all of this on Thursday in part 2 of our Black History Month series on The Culture Soup Podcast®, now heard in more than 70 countries worldwide, on all but one continent, and I'm not even sure they have Internet there.
