Manage episode 326048546 series 3290884
History was made as Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court on April 7th. Soon to be Justice Jackson, is constantly, and will continue to be under the scrutiny of the public eye. Arguably more so, based on her gender and race in comparison to the others that have come before her. What does this mean for her husband, Dr. Jackson, a white man? How can we work to understand the oppression that comes from being in an interracial relationship?
This week on the podcast, Shaunna and Lisa discuss second-hand oppression, and what it means to be an ally. Further, they dive into how allyship is hindered based on the expectation of perfection. Using Dr. Jackson and the First Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff as examples, they dissect the spaces that these men must navigate as white spouses to women of colour, and how they act as allies to their wives and children.
