Cautionary Tale: White People Be Whiting - 019

February 19, 2020

Have you ever thought you had a friend and then they had a white moment and you had to reevaluate? Has that happened to you multiple times? This episode is a safe space for all those budding friendships that came to a screeching halt because well, white people be whiting. We tackle all the important questions such as Have you ever been "token" by surprise (thee black friend when you didn't even know it)? We share the stories about being the unofficial teacher of black stuff and having to walk "allies" through our experience, or worst, having them tell us all about our lives. Dassa opens up about her PTWFSD (Post-Traumatic White Friendship Stress Disorder), Nessa shows us why she doesn't go to work to "make friends", and Cass introduces the concept of struggle olympics (the deep interest in a person of color's struggle just to brag about not "knowing anything about that").
