“On a scale of 0-10 (10 being excellent) how would you rate your work/life balance............... *momentary silence* .......its non existent to be honest”

EP 9: White rage and Black ambition

EP 9: White rage and Black ambition

“The trigger for white rage, inevitably, is black advancement. It is not the mere presence of Black people that is the problem; rather, it is blackness with ambition, with drive, with purpose, with aspirations, and with demand for full and equal citizenship”

- Carol Anderson, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide

In this episode we discuss the various nuances within this quote and how it affects student aspiration, teacher perception and so much more.
