EPISODE 7 — "When the Myth Breaks: The Moments People Step Out of Whiteness"

Whiteness is not only an ideology.

It is a training system—a set of stories, incentives, protections, punishments, and social cues that keep people aligned with a racial hierarchy they did not design but learned to defend.

But no system is airtight.

And across American history, there have always been moments—sometimes small, sometimes seismic—when people saw the machinery clearly enough to step outside of it.

This episode traces the pattern of those breakages:

what cracks the spell,

what makes the story collapse,

and what emerges when the narrative loses its hold.
