Episode 29: Donald Trump Hates Critical Race Theory And Vice News Loves Racism And Satanism

What does a good-faith critique of these trainings look like that doesn't slide into fearmongering or red-scare-esque grandstanding and witch-hunting? Will the politicization of everything prevent people from focusing on what matters, which is whether these trainings work or cause harm? Also: A Vice story about an allegedly satanic Airbnb is super, duper racist, or so we hear.New York Magazine: Psychology’s Favorite Tool for Measuring Racism Isn’t Up to the Job - https://www.thecut.com/2017/01/psychologys-racism-measuring-tool-isnt-up-to-the-job.htmlNPR: NYPD Study: Implicit Bias Training Changes Minds, Not Necessarily Behavior - https://www.npr.org/2020/09/10/909380525/nypd-study-implicit-bias-training-changes-minds-not-necessarily-behaviorTake the Implicit Association Test: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.htmlOur episode on Robin DiAngelo's "White Fragility": https://barpodcast.fireside.fm/17Our episode interviewing the victim of a DiAngelo training: https://barpodcast.fireside.fm/bonus2Scott O.
