The Impact of Words 2 Hopelessly Tatiana

In this episode I talk about a new trend that is sweeping the internet, White Privilege Help Videos. I explain how they are dangerous to the progression of race relations in America because they misrepresent what racism looks like. They construct scenarios that are over the top leading to a misrepresentation of a real-life problem. Racism is not a problem that can be solved overnight or even with my one podcast, so I have developed 5 key steps to improving communication between cultures. At the end of the day, recognizing that we are different cultures with some commonalities is the best way forward.
