Attention white women!  White women unite!  Pam Ditto declares all of this, not because white women are smarter, but because they use that historical narrative to not stand up for justice, injustice and racism.  Pam says that the road to success is not the one paved by the white man.  She stands up to patriarchy, white people and white women.   She is sick and tired of “white is right” and white women in particular who cannot tolerate the discomfort of change.  She is honest, real and uses her voice to share not only her experience from everything  from her dental procedures to her adoption to her feelings on interracial adoption.  She says, “Don’t even get me started.” but in this episode JD and Suzy can’t wait to get her started.
