Last episode we spoke about White Fragility, and through that discussion we realized there was so much to cover, we had to do part 2, and focus this conversation around the documentary “Deconstructing Karen.”

Race2Dinner’s Vision is “A world free of white supremacy, caste, patriarchy, misogyny, all the isms, all the phobias and hate. A world where all of us human beings have value, dignity, respect and all we need to live how we choose.”

The Oxford dictionary defines white fragility as “discomfort and defensiveness on the part of a white person when confronted by information about racial inequality and injustice.” It was coined by Robin Jeanne DiAngelo in 2011. 

In this episode we give you more tools on how to continue your work in anti-racism, examine the book “White Fragility” by DiAngelo, talk about critics of the book, and our own lived experiences.

How is self-care and community care different, and yet deeply influenced by one another? This week Jamie and Jenna dive into these two topics, bringing in their own experiences and passions. 

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." - Audre Lorde (A Burst Of Light)

“Shouting self-care at people who actually need community care is how we fail people.” - Nakita Valerio

On this episode, your hosts welcome their first guest, Brie Birdsell. 

Brie is a rural advocate and leader in disability, queer and human rights in Canada and is also the founder of the Deep River Queer Connection, fostering community and allyship for 2sLGBTQIA residents in the town of Deep River, and a founder of the CanDO society, a non-profit focused on making the Canadian outdoors accessible for all.

The Wheel of Oppression aka the wheel of power and privilege is a conceptual tool that helps humans understand how different forms of oppression intersect and perpetuate systemic marginalization. The hub of the wheel represents the systems of power and privilege that perpetuate these forms of oppression. Marginalization occurs when individuals experience oppression in multiple ways due to the intersections of these variables, and each one moves them outwards, away from power.

In this episode, Jamie and Jenna discuss the term Global Majority and the rationale behind its utilization in our anti-capitalism efforts. 

According to Wikipedia, the term 'global majority' refers to ethnic groups that constitute approximately 85 percent of the global population. It has been used as an alternative to terms which are seen as racialized like "ethnic minority" and "person of colour" (POC), or more regional terms like "visible minority" in Canada and "Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic" (BAME) in the United Kingdom.

The term was first used in 2003 as a way to challenge the Eurocentric perspective. The term was again brought forward by Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, a black woman of African Caribbean descent and heritage, specifically, Jamaican parentage and educator in the UK, who wrote in her paper, Global Majority; Decolonizing the language and Reframing the Conversation about Race.

Welcome to the first episode of Capital/isms! With this inaugural episode launching on Sept 29th, 2023 - a day before Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples is a complex and deeply rooted issue with a long history of injustices. It is important to recognize that there is a wide diversity of Indigenous cultures and nations across Canada, each with its own unique history and experiences. 

But today we will do our best to explain some of the things we learned as adults about Canada’s relationship with Indigenous people and how we got to where we are today - and really why understanding how we got here actively engaging in reconciliation is so important. We’re not going to talk about what you can do to enact “reconciliation” that’s on you, my friend - but it starts with education.
