100: Hard R

The Suspended Teacher and the "Hard R" Distinction

A teacher at Valley Traditional High School was suspended after using a variation of the N-word toward a student. The teacher claimed he was trying to use the student's own slang to feel "comfortable," but the incident resulted in a 10-day suspension and mandatory diversity training. The hosts discuss the linguistic difference between the "Hard R" version and the "GA" ending.

24: Handle with Care

Re-education Seminars, Colorblindness Critique

Robin DiAngelo's diversity training seminars are critiqued for framing "colorblindness" as a way to ignore the reality of racism. The hosts argue that the goal of not seeing color—famously championed by Martin Luther King Jr.—is being subverted by modern activists to maintain a victimization mentality. They suggest these re-education efforts are a form of social control designed to keep different racial groups in conflict.

Racism Insurance, Proximity to Blackness

The concept of "racism insurance" is introduced as a satirical solution for white people who find themselves accused of prejudice despite having black friends. The hosts discuss the "knots" people twist themselves into to comply with corporate diversity mandates and the absurdity of using proximity as a defense. They express interest in a future episode dedicated entirely to the damaging effects of corporate diversity and inclusion training.
