This is a hard podcast for white people to hear
You can see it in the reviews saying “please stop making podcasts about things that make me feel guilty. Talk about something uplifting instead”. Thank you for making this podcast. Thank you for speaking of the incredibly embarrassing ways we have acted towards black people in the past and today. Thank you for making me feel uncomfortable. I know some people listened to this podcast expecting it to be like the movie about the Green Book. They expected a “but not ALL white people are bad” narrative and that’s not what you’re going to get here. This podcast speaks about the experiences of black people in a frank, matter-of-fact way, it is not offensive or finger-pointing in any way, but it is absolutely not framed in a way to protect delicate white egos. I wasn’t alive in the 50s and 60s. I like think I would have been a “better” white person, but ultimately it doesn’t matter. This is what happened, this is what black people went through, and they have absolutely no obligation to try to make us feel less guilty about it. White people- listen to this podcast, accept that this is our history, and pledge to do better.

Through the lens of the green book we see so many aspects of Black life—family, faith, community-building, entrepreneurship,...Read full review »
