'White Silence is Deadly'

from Black Mama, White Mama Hosted by Black Mama, White Mama

Many white parents have no idea how to talk with their kids about race, so they avoid the topic entirely. But as author and professor Jennifer Harvey, PhD., points out, "White silence is deadly." This week, we speak with Dr. Harvey about her brilliant book Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America. We discuss why teaching kids to be colorblind doesn't work, how to desegregate your life, and strategies for raising kids to be allies against racism.
