Recently, Ms. Almeida and Mr. Barton were on our show talking about White Supremacy And The Exception To the Rule

During our conversation, they talked about:

– How they meet and why did they want to talk about this subject
– How embedded is white supremacy in our culture and the danger with people who think they are outside of it especially in academia
– White liberals feeling that they are above white supremacy
– BIPOC (Black Indigenous People Of Color) propping up white supremacy
– A world without white supremacy
