LISTEN TO THE SHOW:

While I don’t go around making racist remarks or consciously thinking racists thoughts, I know that just by being a white person in America, I’m unwittingly contributing to the racism that exists.

And I now know that being non-racist isn’t the same as being anti-racist.

Over the past week, I did a lot of reading, listening, and thinking about my own beliefs and thoughts about race.

In today’s episode, I share some of what I’ve discovered so far.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• The three levels of human consciousness.
• A metaphor for the subconscious mind that’s useful to me right now.
• Why it can be so difficult to examine some of our subconscious thoughts.
• Some steps I’m taking to educate myself and begin to change on a personal level.
