White Privilege Feeds Racism

Summary Points of the Podcast:

“Racism is a systematic process that oppresses persons of color to provide advantage to Caucasians. It is embedded in every aspect of our society. It feeds the other ISMs that are just as detrimental to our country as racism.” Dr. Jackalyn has read this statement over and over again in the thousands of articles she has read over 50 years. In this podcast you will have examples that will exemplify systemic racism. She will address the denial of white people that do not want to face the reality of what happens in our country. You will have ideas that will fortify you desire to help lessen and someday rid the U.S. of these ISMs.

Rev. Al Sharpton had powerful and heartfelt statements after George Floyds death. He shows how African Americans have had Floyd’s experience with this statement: “When I stood at the spot (where George Floyd died) the reason it got to me is that George Floyd’s story has been the story of Black Forks for over 401 years. What happened to Floyd happens every day in this country, in education, in health services and in every area of American life. It is time to stand up in George’s name and say get your knee of our necks!” You will find more statements from Rev. Sharpton in this podcast.

Dr. Jackalyn provides excerpts from Peggy McIntosh’s article, White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack. See what you find from McIntosh’s comment “I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious.” You will have a clear example of what this means after listening to Podcast 57.
