The “Charlottesville” Edition — 08.15.17

We Talk Different
Aug 22, 2017 · 2 min read

The WTD originally planned to release a different topic this week, but the events happening in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend changed our minds. This podcast was recorded Monday, August 14 in the early morning hours. Given our platform at WTD and what we’ve advocated since coming on-air last October we felt it necessary to talk about white supremacy, white privilege, racism divestment, politics, and silence. This episode does have heated language and is potentially a trigger for our listeners. Please listen with patience and in community. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts (links below for getting in touch with us).

The whole gang is back together this week — Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan sit down to talk about Charlottesville, Virginia and the explicitly white supremacist rallies. They also attempt to breakdown implicit and explicit white supremacy during their conversation, along with looking at the political rhetoric, and the churches rhetoric towards these types of terrorist activities.
