Just what is going on with white people? Police shootings of unarmed African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism by white supremacists. The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identity politics. Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice, and hiring. Some of this feels new, but in truth it’s an old story.
Why? Where did the notion of “whiteness” come from? What does it mean? What is whiteness for?
–excerpted from Scene On Radio: Seeing White
Seeing White ASL is a vodcast series that takes a deep dive into systemic white supremacy, examining its roots and peeling back a truer understanding of what racism is and how it functions in American society. This vodcast is a Deaf-centered adaptation of the Peabody Award-nominated Scene On Radio podcast “Seeing White” [cc] from the Kenan Institute of Ethics at Duke University.
Each episode unpacks whiteness and makes what is invisible VISIBLE.
