Downplaying racism. Changing one's name or appearance. Laughing at a racist joke. Choosing only white friends. These are "white-pleasing" behaviors. We all have seen it. We all have done it. Some people have internalized it more than others. White-pleasing is a way of seeking the approval of white people and white society.
In this show, podcast host, Ama-Robin, discusses the origins of white-pleasing as a coping, strategic, and survival tool. She will also discuss the different kinds of white-pleasing behaviors and how they can affect one's mental health. We will discuss real-life scenarios--including Ama-Robin's personal experience!--that show how white-pleasing is an integral part of living Black in a majority-white society.
Time to get real. No judgments or criticism.
