John’s Substack and podcast:
John- what do you think about conversations about racism and our identities in the workplace? I am subject to mandatory white affinity groups and whole group training where we play out scenarios as the "mistake maker" and the "interrupter" and interrogate white supremacy in our organization. Can the workplace just be the workplace? Or, as they say, can that only be true for white people who "don't have to think about their identity everyday"? Huge fan of both you and Peter!
Hey, guys! I’m not sure if the recording of the livestream was to be made available for later watching as your previous livestream with Jonathan Rauch, but this one isn’t working, just fyi. I’m a big fan of both Peter and John McWhorter! I’d love to watch the recording, if available. Thanks!
