Tracie McMillan is a journalist and author of the new book The White Bonus: Five Families and the Cash Value of Racism in America.
In the book, Tracie charts her own family’s history, plus follows the stories of four other white American families, to see how explicit government policies and implicit biases have led to massive amounts of wealth for white Americans.
Tracie joins Heath to discuss her writing process in researching the book, why it’s so difficult for white people to acknowledge this bonus, and what it might take to reverse course.
