Mini Ep: Lost in White Supremacy - White Terrorism

This was a last minute recording in response to the current situation with pro-Trump supporters, that are White terrorist, storming the Capitol. Conversations need to be had surrounding the topic of white supremacy, white terrorism, and how racism is backwards. I bring in examples to talk and expand on those three topics. To move the United States forward, candid and real conversations need to be had about how white supremacy is embedded into all parts of society and how white terrorism is one of the biggest domestic threats because of how passive society reacts to it and because people don't want to call it for what it is. I also expand on how racism is backwards because for all of history, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) have been deemed as backwards for doing specific things such as not speaking English, wearing different clothes, practicing different religions, and the list goes on. I am here to say that racism is backwards - treating someone different because of the color of their skin is backwards.
