One White WomanEp. 19 - Thoughtful Considerations About Affirmative Action, with Reed Fromer“The fortunate man,” observed Max Weber, “is seldom satisfied with the fact of being fortunate. Beyond this, he needs to know that he has a right to his good fortune. He wants to be convinced that he ‘deserves’ it, and above all, that he deserves it in comparison with others.”Are you like me in that you were sure you understood all that is necessary to understand about affirmative action? I’ve always been firmly on the ‘side’ of implementing affirmative action, but I had never really given the subject all of my attention, because I assumed, incorrectl...2021-07-3152 min

One White WomanEp. 17: 19 Black Families + 97 Acres = Freedom Georgia Initiative, with Ashley ScottAre you, like me, finally realizing that it’s up to so-called “white” people, to examine our woefully incomplete knowledge of history, and current realities, so that we are better able to contribute, in whatever ways feel most right for each of us, to practical and constructive solutions that will move all of us, as Americans, permanently forward. We've come a long way, yet we need to remain open to how very much more we need to learn and understand so we can consciously be part of the solutions, rather than continuing to unconsciously enable systemic racism in America....2021-06-0840 min

One White WomanEp. 15 - The Invention of 'Whiteness,' with MussadiqIn this episode, about the INVENTION OF WHITENESS, I share conversation with Mussadiq. The name on Mussadiq’s birth certificate reads Brian Thomas, but that name that has no meaning for him… (and that will be a whole other conversation I hope he and I will share with you in the near future). Mussadiq’s full chosen name is Mussadiq Abdur Rashid, which means: truth telling servant of the guide to the right path. As I said, definitely a whole other conversation…In this conversation, Mussadiq and I are making our first attempts at unpacking the history...2021-05-2255 min

One White WomanEp. 13 - Growing Beyond White Fragility ...“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”Those words from MLK would have hurt me and/or (I’m embarrassed to tell you) insulted me just a year ago… and then we witnessed George Floyd’s murder … not just his murder, but the way it came to pass, and not just the way, but by whom - by a policeman.

One White WomanEp. 11 - One Strong & Gracious Black Woman, Patrice RegisterPatrice Register is my favorite kind of person: one whose life is all about moving forward on every front, no matter the external obstacles, while being a force for positive growth along the way. Growing up Black in Georgia is one part of Patrice’s story. Another part is her big-hearted family. And, are you ready for this? Patrice was a police officer in Georgia. A Black. Woman. Police officer. This woman is sooo solid. And NOT to be put into a ‘box’ of simple and predictable labels. After serving as a police officer, Patrice went on to earn an Exec...2020-09-3058 min
One White WomanEp. 10: Police Chief Thomas Connolly on Systemic Racism and much morePolice are in the news a lot these days. Too much, really, since the news about police is mostly bad, unacceptable, despicable and even terrifying.So, don’t ask me how, because I really don’t remember, but I came across a YouTube video with Police Chief Thomas Connolly. On the 5-minute video, he clearly expressed his strength-based humility alongside his invitation to the citizens of his town to participate in constructive partnership.It was abundantly clear that Chief Connolly meant every word he said, so I had to invite him to join me i...2020-09-021h 07
One White WomanEp. 9 - Voting Rights Matter!Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis and many others ( black & white) put themselves in dangerous situations, commonly marked by violence and time in jail, to increase awareness about the fact that voting rights, especially in the southern states, were very purposely designed to suppress Black and minority voters.The 1965 signing of the Voting Rights Act by Lyndon Johnson, made nearly all voter suppression tactics illegal across this country. And when Congress enacted the Voting Rights Act, it did so with for following reason: ‘to address entrenched racial discrimination in voting, and “insidious and pervasive evil which has...2020-08-2411 min
One White WomanEp. 8 - JIM CROW Era & LawsWhen Emancipation for Black people was won, after so many lives lost in our Civil War, that should have been the start of a new chapter in this country - one that would start the healing from all the ugliness promoted by the enslavement of Black people. It did not. What happened, instead, was a vicious and shameful recalibration of the 'white supremacy' mindsets. "JIM CROW" came to be the code word for the whole package of ways in which some white people were willing to show themselves as aggressively attached to subjugating Black people so that they (whites) coul...2020-08-1812 min
One White WomanEp. 7 - "Everyday" for Black People in America, with Cheryl HudsonCheryl shared the following quote from William Edward Burkhardt (WEB) DuBois. DuBois was the first African-American man to graduate from Harvard, and he wrote these still relevant words in 1903 in a book he published, “The Souls of Black Folk”:"One ever feels his two-ness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife - this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into...2020-07-1837 min

One White WomanEp. 5 - 60's Deep South Public Education, with Jennifer HawthorneI know something you don’t know… you don’t know what you don’t know. None of us do. How could we? Especially when our not knowing is strategically combined with the intentions of people in power, like political leaders, like designers of educational systems and writers of curriculum, who’ve exhibited no qualms about filling in our not knowing with what reflects and serves their values and their purposes … to promote and perpetuate the mindset of WHITE SUPERIORITY. I am so grateful to Jennifer Hawthorne, a well-respected author, for sharing with us about her own school experiences in Louisiana i...2020-07-0423 min

If that doesn’t sound too crazy, if perhaps you can relate, then you’ll understand why I had to create this podcast.I have never even come close to being a racist. Even as a little girl, I fought my father’s bigotry and careless racial slanders.Regrettably, it took George Floyd’s murder to wake me up to the painful fact, one I’ve rejected for decades, that I...2020-06-2402 min
