About this listen

During the Civil Rights Movement, White people rallying against racism was crucial for the advancement of Black rights, but what role(s) should White people play in activism? Have White people gentrified movements like Black Lives Matter? In this episode, Krista speaks on the effects of White people at BLM protests, performative activism, and what White people can do to support Black causes. She will also speak on the effects of circulating graphic videos and images and racial fatigue, as well as the memeification of Breonna Taylor and how misogynoir exists in activism.
