TCSP Ep 163 Plantation Theory w/John Graham teaser:
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 proposes in his book Plantation Theory is true, why would so many members of marginalized groups try? And is there "smoke waiting on ...:" the White allies who take up the mantle to remedy the issue? John says so, and he has done his research to support it. If you don't want to go deep with us, don't listen, but we explore all of this in part 2 of our Black History Month series on The Culture Soup Podcast, now heard in more than 70 countries worldwide, on nearly every continent.
