Welcome to another episode of Lurie Breaks It Down, a podcast where we dig deeply to connect the dots on the issues that shape our world.

I'm Lurie Daniel Favors, author,

activist, attorney, and the host of the Lurie Daniel Favors show on Sirius XM's Urban View,

Channel 126. In today's episode, I'm speaking with Dante D. King, the author of a book entitled

The 400-year Holocaust, White America's legal, psychological,

and sociopathic black genocide and the revolt of critical race theory.

It's a very long title for a book that examines and discusses factions of the legal history

of anti-blackness and whiteness through colonialism and the United States and its impacts on present-day

America. The book centers anti-blackness as the core tenet of so-called racism in white America

and amplifies its relationship to the inherent value of whiteness, which includes things like

white identity, white culture, white institutions, etc.

Now, I want to give you a warning here.

This conversation with Dante King is going to raise some concerns for a portion of the listeners.

Frankly, most people have never heard a dissection of whiteness as a function of culture.

And in light of the way that whiteness culture is currently activated in this society, it can be a disconcerting experience. Here are some

pointers to help make it a little bit easier to hear whiteness culture discussed in

this way. In the conversation, when we use terms like white people, we're

obviously not talking about all white people, but those who either embrace white supremacist thoughts covertly or overtly, or those who are so willfully oblivious to the suffering of others that whiteness culture can create, that they peacefully coexist with the systems of oppression that this system generates.

So when we use terms like white people, we're not talking about all white people. And as the old folks will say, only a hit dog hollers.

And unless you have been hit as the dog in this example, there's no need to at me or want to have

conversations with me offline using hashtags like not all whites.

We know not all whites.
