The Washington Post is being blasted for “promulgating ignorant neoracist nonsense” for posting a podcast video in which experts encouraged white people to create “accountability groups” — in order to go through a “period of deep shame.”
The paper released the video on Friday as part of its “The New Normal” series in a segment titled “What is White Racial Identity and Why Is It Important?”
In the episode, several mental health experts and scholars discussed “understanding your whiteness and the ways that white supremacy benefits you,” Fox News reported.
One of the ways they suggested to “understand whiteness” included joining or creating “white accountability groups,” according to the news outlet.
Resmaa Menakem, an author and trauma specialist, said: “[A]n antiracist culture does not exist among white people. White people need to start getting together specifically around race.”
He added that such groups could have to meet over several years to end up with a community “aligned with each other.”
