Episode 31: White People Behaving Badly
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss Joe Biden’s recent gaffe during his interview with Charlemagne tha God. We also discuss President Donald Trump’s ambivalence towards masks and his endorsement of hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus cure, the lynching of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, Amy Cooper’s use of white privilege to attempt to bring harm to George Cooper by making false claims to the NYPD, and more. We end with our usual update on self care, which shifted into a conversation about adjusting our social media use in light of the strange combination of social distancing and the gradual growth of our social media followings as a result of our work in ministry.
