CALLING IN, CALLING OUT, AND WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE

1/19/2021

1 Comment

 
Loretta Ross is an author, academic, and radical Black feminist who currently teaches courses on human rights and white supremacy at Smith College. She believes deeply in the value of empathetic conversation — “calling in” — versus shaming, humiliating, or publicly “calling out” those with whom we disagree (or indeed those whose views we may find appalling). But she also believes there’s a limit. Professor Ross joins Ciaran O’Connor for a wide-ranging discussion on racial politics, right wing media, and when to draw a line in the sand.

Wow. So many inspired insights on how we can come together as people and climb out of this abyss of polarization and demonization of the other. Professor Ross is a walking talking living example of humanity at its most generous and inclusive. Honoring shared experience, not espousing political ideology, is where we will meet each other and make common cause. Lost in admiration of this brave, brilliant woman.
