4: Racism in Wellness Culture (w/Dr Natalia Petrzela & Dax-Devlon Ross)

On one hand, we have the CEO of Crossfit tweeting that “Floyd-19” is the real problem. (He got canceled.) On the other, COVID-truther psychiatrist Kelly Brogan is using Hopi mythology to support the fantasy of a Corona consciousness-awakening — while the Hopi themselves live within the Navajo Nation, which has the highest infection rate in the country. WTF is going on with white wellness people? For this episode, we’re joined by New School historian of American fitness, Dr. Natalia Petrzela, who sheds light on the historical links between physical culture and racism, and Dax-Devlon Ross, an anti-racism and civil rights educator, on what white wellness ideology does to Black people. Show Notes Dr. Petrzela on Ahmaud Abery A Letter to My White Male Friends of a Certain Age — Dax-Devlon Ross Glassman’s FLOYD-19 tweet Buzzfeed covering Glassman’s Zoom Dr. Petrzela tweeting on McFadden and Sandow One City’s Struggle to Police the Police — Dax in The Washington Post Kelly Brogan using “sovereignty” Kelly Brogan appropriating a Hopi text Something we didn’t cover: A Wisconsin “I Can’t Breathe” workout A BUNCH of white spiritual dudes claiming that the “I can’t breathe” protest chant is a spell to program people for slavery to the Deep State. They advise taking strong action with deep breathing exercises and antidote mantras. -- -- -- Support us on Patreon Pre-order Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat: America | Canada Follow us on Instagram | Twitter: Derek | Matthew | Julian Original music by EarthRise SoundSystem Learn more about your ad choices.
