Sunday Morning Bobblehead Thread
Your weekly guide to the talking heads! And an illuminating conversation between Trevor Noah and Ijeoma Oluo about dismantling white supremacy.
Listen up. Ijeoma Oluo is a shining light. Listen to her. Learn from her. Buy her books. She has a new one out that is a must-read: Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America.
A reader will get more out of it, though, if they've passed Racism 101. If you're new to the discussion of how to talk about the very racist threads woven into our pre-national fabric since the 1600s, read So You Want To Talk About Race first. It's only been on the New York Times Bestseller list for the past 26 weeks in a row. Honestly. It will help everyone.
Please enjoy Ms. Oluo's appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah above, where she nails white supremacy for the scam that it is.
