Diesmal sprechen sie nicht über Filmemacher, sondern nehmen den Ausgangspunkt ihres Gesprächs bei zwei Schauspielerinnen, die zu den größten ihrer Zunft, mindestens aber zu den größten Schwulenikonen gehören: Bette Davis und Joan Crawford!
Beide trafen in dem Psychothriller "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1962) über die brutale Konkurrenz zweier Schwestern das erste und einzige Mal vor der Kamera zusammen. Aber auch hinter der Kamera führten beide der Legende nach eine erbitterte Fehde, die Ryan Murphy in seiner Serie "Feud" ausführlich zelebriert.

And even the people who benefit materially are harmed in terms of connection, sympathy, and the demand that you reject your own culture for the monoculture of whiteness.

2022-03-302h 55White HomeworkGive Reverse Racism A ChanceWhat does it look like when we start dismantling systems of oppression that benefit a small number of people at the expense of everyone else? Black and Indigenous folks are regularly accused of reverse racism for things that are merely offenses, not systematic harm. But to your nervous system, the opposite of systemic racism is probably going to feel bad. In fact, it's probably going to feel like reverse racism. A lot of it. The opposite of white supremacy is going to feel like oppression when you choose to not account for what was taken.

Let's look at protests through the lens of evolutionary biology, nervous system responses, politics, nd power dynamics. History has shown us that protests are a predictable result of burning through all the official channels to create change and getting nowhere. When people don't have any meaningful mechanism to change their material circumstances, they tend to get loud and burn things. (And yes, we're talking about the mothertruckers too.)

2021-05-181h 44White Homework027: The Morality of Resistance with Andre HenryThere are a lot of ways to protest and trying to figure out what the appropriate violence is feels overwhelmingly difficult. When the state is inherently violent, how are people committed to non-violence supposed to respond? Capitalism, the law, personal property are all values in American culture all have more value than nonwhite Americans. As Dr. King said, we have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws. So how do we do this? I spoke to Andre Henry about how we move forward in this inherently violent culture. We discuss the different moral frameworks we can try on, and...
2021-05-121h 09White Homework026: Leaving Whiteness w/ Corey Evan LeakThanks all for your generosity and patience as I'm getting stuff situated over here!!
I had a conversation with Corey Leak about how we left white Jesus and moved into a space that is committed to material equity. We need creative imagination to create a world where no one is a commodity, no one is a product, no one is just the labor they produce. Oppressive systems need to be completely reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up.

2021-05-1050 minWhite Homework025: A Brief History of White Evangelicals w/ Dr. Brad OnishiThis week, I had a conversation with Dr. Bradley Onishi. Brad is a professor of religious studies at Skidmore College, and the host of the podcast Straight White American Jesus. I think it would be safe to say - and I've told Brad this several times - that I am a little bit of a fangirl. As someone who grew up in white evangelical spaces, I'm kind of obsessed with their origin story and their devotion to empire. (You know, the thing that Jesus preached against constantly?) It's a story that feels thoroughly American.

2021-04-0829 minWhite Homework024: White Christian Nationalism with Blake ChastainHey y'all! Had a great conversation with Blake Chastain several months ago about the slow merging of evangelicalism and nationalism. We're currently watching evangelicalism in the US move from being a religious or spiritual identifier to a political identifier. For those of us who grew up in white evangelical spaces this isn't surprising.
After the election of Barack Obama, white evangelical churches began closing ranks much faster than they had been before. In the 90s and 00s, there was a more room for liberal believers in white evangelical spaces but as the culture wars began to heat...
2021-03-1848 minWhite Homework023: Liberation is for Everybody w/ Jo LuehmannTaking a little break from our "racism doesn't exist" series to talk to Jo Luehmann about justice, joy, liberation, and accountability. I reached out to her originally because I am obsessed with her work around decolonizing theology. As a nonbeliever, we have nothing (to my knowledge) on the matters of joy and liberation for all people. But these are some of our shared values so I knew I had to chat with her. We had an amazing discussion and Jo blew my mind on several occasions, as she does. :)

We're calling this one "Racism Doesn't Exist" since so many white Americans believe that racism ended with MLK. So we're diving into the data and examining the disparities that exist between white people and Black people in every area of society. This week we're talking about the treatment of nonwhite patients in the medical field.

A note of caution: language is terribly important. Alice and I use the term "coup" as a catchall throughout this episode to refer to the events that occurred in Washington DC on January 6th, 2021. With that said, I don't know how precise it is to refer to this event as a coup. For starters most (operative word!!) of the duck dynasty delegation had absolutely no plan other than to get inside the building. They didn't have a list of demands. They...

2020-03-0935 minWhite HomeworkBetter Than PunishmentWithin colonized spaces, members of a community are generally taught to expect punishment if they don’t comply with society’s demands. As people striving for antiracist policies and actions, this tool simply does not suffice. It also doesn’t work. We know from decades of research that punishment is one of the least effective terms for improving behavior in the long term. So what else do we have?

Andre Henry and Tori tackle this pervasive attempt to dehumanize black lives by limiting which emotions we are allowed to experience and express, and dig into the beauty that comes from listening to black voices.
