We’ve seen workplace DEI programs, Affirmative Action, and other policies that are meant to address the legacy of racism in America come under attack in recent months, with many white folks claiming that they are being discriminated against because of these policies.
Author Tracie McMillan challenges this narrative in her latest book, “The White Bonus: Five Families and the Cash Value of Racism in America.” She delves into how she has personally benefited from systemic racism, even going as far as to quantify it with a dollar amount: $371,934.30. McMillan also explores how policies against African Americans have shaped the lives of white middle-class families, drawing from interviews and data from her own family and friends.
This book hits hard, addressing something many white people might not want to admit: the advantages they gain from racism.
Tune in as Areva and Tracie McMillan dive into this tough but necessary conversation, exploring the real impact of racism and the importance of acknowledging it if we truly wish to build a more equitable society.
