400 Years of Ignorance and Inequality

<p><strong>I posted this episode yesterday and took it down because I was uncomfortable with the tone. &nbsp;It is impossible for a white person with my background to be an expert on the overtly negative effects of racism; I have not had to live it. &nbsp;&nbsp;I was uncomfortable with allowing myself to have a one hour public monologue on the subject. &nbsp;Mine is simply not the voice that needs to be heard right now.</strong></p> <p><strong>However, that does not mean I am off the hook in the discussion or that white people should be silent when they see racism or recognize racism within themselves. &nbsp;Obviously, silence from whites is a huge part of the problem. &nbsp;I am placing it back up now as a placeholder. &nbsp;Clearly this issue was not at the forefront of my consciousness when I started this podcast. &nbsp;It was a very white / western thing for it not to have been at the forefront of my consciousness. &nbsp;I intend to educate myself on the nature of systemic racism going forward. &nbsp;Hopefully I can look back in a couple of years and feel that I have moved the needle within myself and my role in being a part of the solution to systemic racial violence and ignorance.</strong></p> <p><strong>Yesterday I posted some donation links. &nbsp;Along with those I am going to post links to films and books I have watched or will be watching and reading in the future. &nbsp;I deeply appreciate anyone who is listening to this podcast.</strong></p> <p><strong>Thank You.</strong></p> <p><strong>DONATE</strong></p> <p>NAACP Legal Defence Fund:</p> <p><a href="https://naacplegaldefensefund.org/campaigns/donate-naacp-ldf/"><u>https://naacplegaldefensefund.org/campaigns/donate-naacp-ldf/</u></a></p> <p>Black Lives Matter:</p> <p><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019"><u>https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019</u></a></p> <p>Bail Funds:</p> <p><a href="https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory"><u>https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory</u></a
