Tuesday, February 11, 2025 - Kendrick, whiteness, anti-blackness & whitewashing history on purpose
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance has certainly sparked a conversation, and honestly the timing couldn't be better considering conservatives' breathless zeal for suppressing a true reckoning on race and its role in our nation's history. Surely you understand that's why the white nationalist-in-chief wants to dismantle the federal Department of Education so MAGA states can get back to letting pro-Confederacy groups write your kids' history books. So last weekend, I pre-recorded an interview with author and professor Dante King, fresh off the release of his new book "Diagnosing Whiteness & Anti-Blackness: White Psychopathology, Collective Psychosis, and Trauma in America" was just released. Neither of us were aware a Super Bowl halftime show would dovetail so well into our conversation, let alone elicit such a response nationally, but here we are.
