90% of the profits from Idelette’s book, Recovering Racists, is going to different communities of color that have been oppressed and discriminated against. And she's doing a beautiful job of just asking where this money should go. This question got us on the topic of reparation and how it’s synonymous with money in most people's minds. Join us as we break down our previous episode with Idelette, dive deep into using ONLY money as a form of reparation, touch on how we live in a culture where everything is so offensive and why we, as a society, being more worried about correct labeling than the actual work being done has got to change.
