In this episode, Nichola Torbett examines the "meat pots of white supremacy," the survival benefits we receive in exchange for participating in injustice and explores what would be required to walk away from them.
"The meat pots! I want to talk about these meat pots because they feel so familiar me! They stand in for something that at some level I think we all know about. The meat pots represent the tangible, material benefits—and we’re not talking about perks, or frivolous extras, but real survival benefits—that we receive in exchange for participating in exploitative and unjust systems. These are painful realities that I spent most of my life as a white American trying not to think about."
