A Better F***ing Party than White Supremacy & Evangeline Weiss

The Spillway

Alternative title: Cancel Culture and White Women & Evangeline Weiss

What does it mean to be a White woman in the US today without supremacy or shame?

What does it mean to hold cancel culture as White supremacist and shame culture?

Loran and Jenny sit down with Evangeline Weiss, founder of Beyond Conflict & co-founder of We Are Finding Freedom to talk about how cancel culture replicates White supremacy culture and the intersection of race and gender as it applies to White women.

Questions include:

• How do we hold the evolving nature of the human experience amidst accountability (and accountability abuse)?
• How do we get more White people to center love in our work?
• What does forgiveness and grace look like in our work of supporting other White people?
• How do we make sense of the intersection of gender and race?
• Do White women have any inherent qualities or attributes?
• What, if anything, do you want to interrupt & expand within White women?
• How do we find other White people to unpack racial equity with?
• What's the role of fallibility in our work?

The Spillway Community Guidelines

1. Engage sequentially. The show is a serial not episodic. We do this so we can build relation and find common ground and context. 2. We stay in our own lane. The Spillway is about White people talking to (predominately) White people about White people and White culture. We're not out here to critique anyone's actions but our own. 3. Our combined fabric of destiny. (3a) As Dr. King said, our humanities are deeply interconnected to each other. Racism negatively impacts me, too. (3b) The Spillway is one mechanism within a larger framework needed to sustain racial equity and justice. We're not a one-stop shop. 4. No one right way to liberation. We all share the same goals, but not every method works for every person. If this doesn't work for you. That's okay. Maybe it works for someone else.
