White Voyeurism: seeks to control the consumption and appropriation of non-whiteness; fascination with culture (ex: consuming Black culture without the burden of Blackness).

35 min - Agree to Disagree?
How often does someone say to you, ‘Let’s just agree to disagree’ on important issues? Does it irritate you?
Can we sometimes agree to disagree? Sure. Pineapple belongs on pizza. If you don’t think it does, we’ll agree to disagree. But if you think Black Americans shouldn’t fear for their lives and they’re being unreasonable and White privilege isn’t real and systemic racism is fake news, we can’t agree to disagree.
So … where is the line? Kim and Dan work to find out in this episode of My Amerca.

56 min - My Political Opponent is Not My Enemy
Last week Kim and Dan unpacked why we see the media as the enemy. And why, despite the shortcomings of modern news and other media, they aren’t the enemy. This week the dynamic duo turn their undivided atten… sometimes we like to laugh at dumb shit and then… undivided attention to political opposition.
Do you see the “other party” as an enemy? Maybe it’s time to rethink this war-like attitude. Your political opponent isn’t likely your enemy.
