In this episode we accidently end up down the road of covert racism, and white fragility when we expressly said in the beginning of the conversation that we were going to steer away from social issues in this episode. I'm not sure if we made it 10 minutes before it moved into that space and you can clearly see from the conversation that it wasn't intentional but you can also see that it kept going back there by both of us.
.
I'm not sure how I felt about my participation in this conversation. I noticed some old behaviors starting to creep out in the video in some of my mannerisms and facial expressions. I think I could have done better in how I responded to a couple of things. I think the concept of white fragility has some truth to it. Find out where you fall on covert racism spectrum.
