WTW33: America - Where Even Bread is Racist

It's Bread Week here at WTW!   King Arthur Baking Company is in the hot seat with the Right over an accelerator opportunity that is *racist against white people*. We're here to tell you what's really going on here and why we're keeping a close on New Hampshire from here on out.   Be sure to check out Project Potluck! They are doing some fantastic work to build a community and resource network in the consumer packaged goods space for people of color.   Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
