Beyond the disgusting racism, Vance is ill informed. Southern land holding slaveowners were also avid anti-labor, anti-poor oligarchs who deliberately used the allure of whiteness to dilute the wages & voting power of the white working class while getting rich on the backs of slaves. #SeeingWhite

I saw a Mar 6 post on other social media from #SceneOnRadio podcast host, John Biewen, saying that #DukeU’s #CenterForDocumentaryStudies is being reorganized, and as a result, he’s been let go.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon Scene On Radio podcasts season, #SeeingWhite. Early episodes (esp Ep3, “Made In America” on how “whiteness” was created) were eye opening and permanently changed my perspective.

Wishing John Biewen well & hope that he + others laid off end up in better places.

@jbiewen Glad to see you on Mastodon. I started following your work with #SeeingWhite and have subsequently listened to all the seasons. I always learn a lot from and appreciate the work you do with a variety of collaborators!

When it comes to U.S. government programs and support earmarked for the benefit of particular racial groups, history is clear. White folks have received most of the goodies. By John Biewen, with Deena Hayes-Greene of the Racial Equity Institute and recurring series partner Chenjerai Kumanyika.
