The V Word: Kenny Close and White Male Allyship

“When liberal whites fail to understand how they can and/or do embody white supremacist values and beliefs even though they may not embrace racism as prejudice or domination (especially domination that involves coercive control), they cannot recognize the ways their actions support and affirm the very structure of racist domination and oppression that they wish to see eradicated.” — bell hooks

Today show features Kenny Close discussing his move into being a better white male ally by unpacking cultural inheritance, an excerpt from his interview on Community Conversations on Recovery with Tracy Wilson, both of Positive No.
