Episode 68: Whiteness Whiteness Whiteness Whiteness Whiteness

Katie (white) and Jesse (white) talk about the perils of Whiteness, a situation in which one's soul is colonized by a mayonnaise-devouring demon who makes you hate other races and ask your neighbors to turn the radio down. They also talk about the ACLU and (more importantly) Harambe.Show notes/Links:Katie and her wife own real goats now: https://twitter.com/kittypurrzog/status/1402012125845889024 Katie on the Yale speaker who wants to murder white people: https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/the-psychopathic-problem-of-the-white"On Having Whiteness": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34039063/ The scary event that launched Harambe to posthumous stardom: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/30/us/gorilla-killed-after-child-enters-enclosure-at-cincinnati-zoo.html NY Mag and Vox run down the meaning of the meme:https://www.vox.com/2016/8/17/12457468/harambe-meme-social-commentary-explained https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/07/harambe-forever.html Oral history of Weird Twitter:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jwherrman/weird-twitter-the-oral-historyMore on harambe: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1259654-harambe-the-gorillaOur call for memes produced some good ones: https://twitter.com/TheBARPod/status/1402715518109372426 Run Run Harambe: https://soundcloud.com/markcrozier/run-run-harambe?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingTop 20 Political Assassinations of the 20th Century: https://twitter.com/basementpoli/status/1402715854731632643/photo/1“This is the photo of Harambe the Cincinnati Zoo doesn’t want you to see”: https://twitter.com/metalg33k/status/1402721720419618820Michael Powell on the ACLU in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/us/aclu-free-speech.htmlResponses to that piece:https://newrepublic.com/article/162674/new-york-times-aclu-free-speech-culture-warhttps://twitter.com/gingi0/status/1402304533569708039?s=20https://twitter.com/carltakei/status/1401655639114489859?s=20https://twitter.com/DavidColeACLU/status/1402245242636718083?s=20 This is a public episode.
