"The Man Lives Inside of You": Undoing White Supremacy

White supremacy is the belief that white people are superior to those of other races. The belief favors the maintenance and defense of any power and privilege held by white people. White supremacy has roots in the now-discredited doctrine of scientific racism and was a key justification for European colonialism. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies break down the many layered and contradictory ways white supremacy is embedded into our psyche and society. It's the water we drink and the air we breathe, but how do we know? What aspects of our society are consistently shaped and evolved through white supremacy? How do we identify and shift our own thinking from a white supremacy mindset? These are questions worth reckoning and discussing, if we are serious about change. There is no way to cover all of the ways in one episode. Brittany and Dee Dee attempt to bring to life real examples and real experiences of white supremacist culture, and what they’re doing to shift it. Hopefully, you’ll leave this episode with more ideas and reflection on “The Man” that lives inside of you.
