How did a group of friends singing Beatles songs turn into white women insisting on singing negro spirituals and Civil Rights songs? Tania's sister Gina shares an outrageous story about a singing group that descended into a pit of casual racism and micro-aggressions for the record books. How did Gina handle it? Why does stuff like this keep happening? What do we need white women to do when it's happening? A classic example of casual racism in a social setting with all the usual players. Gentrification and opportunity hoarding is discussed too. This is a must listen episode; two Black women honestly talking about experiencing the Wild Wild West of "best intentions" gone wrong. Celebrate Gina speaking her truth in the moment and in this conversation. And learn the urgent importance of tasty chips and guacamole.
