One of the few podcast I listen to faithful is that of Carmen Van Kerckhove and Jen Chau, formerly Addicted to Race and Mixed Media Watch, now Racialicious. As you probably guessed they talk about a lot of things race related. It’s always an interesting discussion and their blog provides great insight into pop culture as well.
I’ve had a couple of conversations recently about race, about the idea of not being passively anti-racist, but rather the need to be active. Also the need to keep conversation open, particularly for white people who don’t often think about race at all.

Anyways, I wanted to be sure to let everyone know about a new site, Race Changers, that you absolutely must subscribe to. I’m quite serious about that too, if your not currently taking any steps to being anti-racist, then there is a grave danger of continuing to be passively racist. Race Changers is a site dedicated to learning and taking action, “Working towards an anti-racist future, one week at a time.” I’m not sure all the assignments we’ll be given but I know it will be a worthwhile experience.

I’ll be sure to talk about what I’m learning each week as we go.
