Vaya Con Muñoz April 9th 2022

In Vaya Con Muñoz

This week we are joined by Tanisha Arena, Kate Albright-Hanna, and Nathaniel Waring in discussing Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, and what it means for for the current makeup of the court, and it’s future; conversations that white families should have with their children, and how “real talk” plays into privilege; intersectionality, and the way it can work at both ends of the privilege spectrum; opting out of caring about certain things based on one’s privilege, and how that can lead to people with the most privilege caring the least; how people who have privilege have a hard time imagining what it’s like not to have that privilege, but people without have no trouble imagining what it’s like to have privilege; the cost of being poor, and how poverty makes small costs snowball into huge costs; how rising fuel costs have ripple effects, and how that cost is felt in our grocery bills; the goddess worshiping time before the patriarchy, and how history is fraught with women’s firsts being ignored in favor of men who got there second.
