Summary

In Part 2 of a two part conversation Sofie talks to Your Fat Friend about whiteness. It’s an uncomfortable and flawed conversation because it’s two white people talking about whiteness but, in the face of global systemic white supremacy and police violence, it seems an important conversation to have.

Trigger warning – coronavirus, murder, violence, racism, white supremacy

0:00.0	You will not reach a point of purity, you will not reach a point where this feels good.
0:04.9	And I think that the alternative to that for a lot of people is just shutting down and just not engaging
0:09.9	because if this is going to make me feel like shit, I'm not going to engage or do anything at all.
0:13.6	It's about being accepting, accepting of discomfort, accepting of ukiness.
0:17.4	You are listening to Made of Human also, noticed the moward, a podcast hosted by Sophie Fagan, who is a Danish comedian.
0:28.3	Mo-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-O-P-P-O-P-P-P-O-P-P-P-I'm trying to find out how to do life.
0:34.0	But it turns out
0:38.0	nobody knows
0:40.0	Mop. Welcome back. It's been, well if you're listening to this on the day that it comes out, it's
0:49.7	been a week since the last episode came out and if you're somehow listening to this before you're listening to the first part of this conversation, I not only recommend I demand that you go back and you listen to the first part of this from last week.
1:07.0	It is crucial, crucial that you listen to this in its entirety starting at the right point. So if you've

1:49.0	So if something has happened since last Wednesday when this came out.
1:54.0	I do not, at the present time of me recording this, I do not know.
1:58.0	So we may have already been called out on some things.
2:02.0	We may already have corrections and stuff. I'll make sure in the next
2:07.2	episode if I need to correct anything I'll do in the next episode. I'll correct everything that I've been informed of till then, but as of now I have not heard
