Episode 5: "Wow, you speak so well!": Tone Policing & Microaggressions

This week's episode looks at how people derail discussions with tone policing and how microaggressions are oppressive in nature. Communication is important when it comes to racial and social issues, and allowing space for black people, brown people, and other marginalized groups is crucial. I give examples of both tone policing and microaggressions, and explain how they are branches on the white supremacy culture tree.  I also mention Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail and make an interesting connection for you to consider.
