About this listen

It is difficult to talk about race and it is particularly difficult in our more modern times. But why is this? In this show I put forward the case that the Whiteness of everyday life is responsible. It is the Whiteness of Western society that is a hidden benchmark to which all nonwhite people are compared against. It is the way that People of Color live in a 'Whiteworld', which is a harsh and unforgiving world that is seldom seen by white people. It is the way white people are often Colorblind to race and therefore cannot speak about it.
