Ep38: Avoidance as a Tool of White Supremacy

The brothers reminisce about working at a movie theater 20 years ago - “Colorado Cinnamon, Basemar Twix.” They make some not great, but not terrible Super Bowl predictions before heading into the topic of the week.

This week the Crew discuss avoidance and whiteness. They explore some of the ways that a system of white supremacy depends on white people and white culture avoiding discussions of racism. This has a lot to do with colorblind (or better said, color-evasive) ideology and practices, which themselves are creations of the ideology and history of whiteness in the U.S. and beyond.

The Crew ends on discussing the differences between equality from equity from liberation. This ties in with their point that anti-racism workshops are good, yet white people could take more from John Brown, who never avoided confronting white supremacy.
