#44: Whiteness is Deified Trauma, with Tad Hargrave

Tad Hargrave blogs at Healing From Whiteness and writes for the Facebook page Dear White Men. He wrestles with the complicated and thorny mess that is whiteness, white privilege and white guilt. He talks with Eric about the traumatic roots of racial whiteness, the role that culture plays in metabolizing trauma, the twin wings of privilege and poverty, and deification of trauma as a defense mechanism, among other things.
