Premiering: Saturday, December 14th, 2024
In the second episode, Dante King continues the dialogue with Jaontra Henderson, Robert Williams, and Dr. Bay Jones, delving deeper into the politics of Whiteness, anti-Blackness, and racism in America. They explore the sociopolitical experiences of Black, White, and other racial groups, highlighting examples of White mediocrity, White deficiency, White sponsorship, and White affirmative action. The episode reveals how American institutions are fundamentally committed to White affirmative action, anti-non-Whiteness, and anti-Blackness. Dante also introduces and elevates Dr. Amos Wilson’s analysis of America as a criminogenic society, where being White allows one to bypass the rules, standards, and norms imposed on others.
