Feeling Race and Racism
Black & Blonde
07/17/22 • 39 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they talk about the feeling of racism. White people cannot and will not ever feel racism, but there can be conscious steps white people take through racial self-talk to seek to understand and consciously leverage discomfort to benefit people, especially black and brown people. It's a good conversation about how to do the work to deal with Racist Uncle Joe.
Truth
Black & Blonde
07/10/22 • 39 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they breakdown the concept of truth. Why are we as a people so afraid of the truth? We can't handle the truth! Finding the truth, speaking about the truth, and acting on the truth are ways in which we can move this country. A significant factor in the truth is our own ability to critically think and reflect.
Juneteenth
Black & Blonde
06/05/22 • 35 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss Juneteenth. Much of this conversation is centered in some of the recent events of capitalistic appropriation of the holiday - Walmart and Party City. We unpack what some white-owned companies are doing to monopolize on holiday for black people. We also talk about ways to celebrate and learn about Juneteenth.
Buffalo
Black & Blonde
05/20/22 • 36 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they reflect and talk about the recent horrific shooting in Buffalo, NY. We give space for each other to reflect within our own identities. While we don't have the answers, sometimes we know we have to keep talking.

Hall of Fame
Black & Blonde
05/08/22 • 34 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. On his first opportunity on the ballot, Eminem gets the nod. Rolling Stone wrote an article questioning the role race might play in this particular induction - Eminem being a white man in a genre largely dominated by people of color. We try to dissect this conversation, as it does pertain to race. The people who vote for the hall of fame and the structures in place are systemically white, so what does that mean in this case? It's a messy conversation with no clear answer, but certainly an important conversation to have.
Not All White People
Black & Blonde
05/01/22 • 34 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss a phrase often heard when talking about racism or white supremacy culture - "not all white people." This came to us from an article called "How 'Not All White People' Became an Assault on All Black People: Unpacking the Harm of a Seemingly Benign Phrase." In the article the author talks about the need for white people to elevate semantics over injustice. We unpack the article as well as provide an update on Laundry-Gate!
"Not a White People Problem"
Black & Blonde
04/17/22 • 35 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss the ability to move past racial injustices when they don't have historical or systemic knowledge of past injustices and when those injustices seem too far removed. We tie this into the recent events of the four young kids detained by police in Maplewood, MN -- as well as the fatal police shooting of Patrick Lyoya in Grand Rapids, MI.
People of Color
Black & Blonde
04/10/22 • 34 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss labels, primarily the label People of Color. This came to us via a Twitter thread where the author suggested that term be retired from our use. Basically this episode is an evolution of our thoughts on the term and the thread. While we aren't policing language, I think this thread really gave us something to think about. Rather than using terms that are truly dehumanizing, although meant to be progressive, perhaps we focus more on the identity of individuals and just say what we mean. No real answers here - just things to think about.
Not Today, Satan
Black & Blonde
07/31/22 • 4 min
Two amazing humans navigate the grey and decide to take a break.
