“This podcast is essential listening for anyone who…Nope. Strike that. It’s essential listening. I have listened to a number of episodes more than once because I wanted to revisit some of the points made by Baratunde, Raquel and Tanner. Some of the segments have made me uncomfortable in the best possible way. That is, these three - and many of the listener comments - have forced me to look at some of my own internalized biases and forced me to confront them.
It is so easy for well-meaning liberal white folks (and yes that includes me) to sit back, put our feet up and pat ourselves on the back because we don’t use racial slurs, don’t commit hate crimes and did vote for President Obama. That’s an oversimplification, but this a podcast review not a dissertation. In any case, thank you Baratunde, Raquel and Tanner for poking around in some of the most uncomfortable and important parts of the American psyche (and mine) with aplomb. You are superheroes.”
