Sugarcoating Ain't Sweet: A Candid Critique of Whiteness, Anti-Blackness, and Cultural Genocide

Premiering:  December 28th, 2024

In the fourth episode, Dante King, along with Dr. Rachelle Rogers-Ard, Jaontra Henderson, and Yvette Mari Robles, continues to critique Whiteness and anti-Blackness. The panel discusses the immorality of these systems and frames racism as a form of genocide. They explore how historical misrepresentations, omissions, and sanitization have obscured the true nature of America, its institutions, and White people's intentions toward non-White and Black people. Recognizing that White supremacy assigns infinite value to Whiteness and devalues Blackness, they highlight how systemic and systematic racism functions—exploiting Black people from slavery to modern-day industries. The discussion also unpacks the pathology of seeking White validation through institutionalized value sets, norms, and relationships.
