The Politics of Social Justice
Manage episode 409440619 series 3563449
Are you racist without even realizing it? Racism isn't a "black person problem"; it's a white person problem that oppresses black people. Racism doesn't only affect the oppressed, it also affects the oppressors.
Inclusion and diversity consultant Sedruola Maruska joins Sean St. Heart to talk about social justice and to teach us what individual citizens can do to end the cycle of racism in America. According to Sedie, it all comes down to "Seeing humans as human and treating them as such." Don't look at the big picture and think there's nothing you can do. Self-examine, take your power, speak up, and do whatever you can to affect change in your own space. Small acts have a huge impact.
Did you know that Black Americans innovated open heart surgery and invented GPS? What is the real meaning of "defund the police"? Learn these things and much more in between listening to Sean yell at white people.
Other topics of conversation include generational trauma, critical race theory, scapegoat Brittany Martin, reverse racism, the justifications for slavery, and using your privilege to benefit others.
