Why Do We Still Believe in “White” and “Black”? | With @janeelliotofficial

Is racism still rooted in ignorance or has it evolved into something more dangerous? In this timely conversation, host Dani sits down with legendary educator and anti-racism activist Jane Elliott to explore the origins of race, the role of indoctrination in education, and the frightening parallels between today’s political climate and the rise of fascism in the 1930s.Jane reflects on her famous “blue eyes/brown eyes” classroom exercise and why she believes racism is still being taught in subtle and overt ways across American institutions. Together, they confront hard questions about faith, media, and how we’ve replaced true education with entertainment.From the manipulation of biblical narratives to the banning of books, they ask:– Are we still being lied to about race?– What happens when screen addiction replaces civic engagement?– Can someone raised in hate ever learn to love?– Are white evangelicals using faith to justify oppression?– And how do we reclaim democracy in a post-truth world?This is not a feel-good conversation—it’s a necessary one. Whether you're just beginning to question your understanding of race or you’ve been doing the work for decades, this episode calls us all to stop being distracted and start being deliberate. Jane Elliott doesn’t hold back, and her message is clear: stop pretending race exists, and start educating yourself before democracy disappears.✦ About the Creator:Jane ElliottWebsite: https://janeelliott.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janeelliotofficial/YouTube: ✦ Watch Jane Elliott's original anti-racism classroom exercise featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show:⁠Jane Elliott's "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" Anti-Racism Exercise | The Oprah Winfrey Show | OWN⁠
