‘Race2Dinner’ Founders Explain White Privilege

The term “Karen,” a pejorative slang term for an alleged obnoxious, angry, entitled, and perceived racist white woman who uses inherent privilege to get their way or police other people's behaviors, became the most notorious watchword of 2020. It is now 2022, and the term “Karen” is officially a part of our lexicon with no sign of leaving anytime soon. Dr. Phil speaks with Ambrosia, who says she was falsely accused of being a “Karen” when she refused to wear a mask and claimed a UPS store was her place of residence because she had packages delivered there. How did her life change after a video of her went viral? Can good people who do not have any ill intent be racist? Can a person be a “Karen” and not even know it? The controversial documentary Deconstructing Karen has been at the forefront of this issue. The film follows “Race 2 Dinner” co-founders and co-authors of White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How To Do Better, Regina Jackson and Saira Rao, who say they challenge white women who say they are not racist to see their innate racism and use the newfound realization to help fight systemic racism in America. Director Patty Ivins-Specht also explains what she learned from working on the documentary. Then, educator Toni says she is sick and tired of the “Karen” trend and it is wrong to label all white women as racists. And, life coach and author of One Decision, Mike Bayer, joins the conversation with his thoughts on choices people make and alternative behavioral options to being “Karen-ish”. This is a thought-provoking episode you won’t want to miss. (21077)

“Racism is not dead, but it is on life support – kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists”
― Thomas Sowell

I feel sorry for any black or white kids hearing stuff like this.

[brandiguarino]

This is crazy! You can’t judge a group of people by the color of their skin PERIOD!

[shadw]

Sorry but stuff like this is what keeps racism thriving

[Mavinga]

All I got from this is that it's OK to judge people on their skin colour.

[sbrecke]

Race2Dinner? Sounds like a race to profit 💲

[ContrarianExpatriate]

My issue is the use of the term privilege. Shaming people as privileged simply because they don't have to deal with discriminatory nuisances does not amount to privilege. Privilege is about wealth, beauty, higher socioeconomic class, not skin shade. I'm sure these women would not say they are privileged when I as a BM would be arrested for things that simply earn women an eyeroll.

[brandiguarino]

In America you have rich at the top, middle class in the middle and poor at the bottom. Color doesn’t matter.

[Ann_Maree]

Goes to show you racism comes from both sides

[travelingdude]

I feel sorry for the white woman. She is being attacked on stage for no reason.

[marthagarcia]

If you want to talk about racism. I am a Hispanic woman of Mexican ancestry. And I have seen prejudice all my life. Living in Texas for the last 20 years especially here in Houston the racism I’ve encountered is from African Americans and middle easterners yes u heard me right. In the public places. So please let’s get to the root of the problem. These women are playing the victim.

[markeggins]

Complaining about racism by being racist?!?

[shadw]

One last thing: If you have to shut down a conversation revolving around an opinion you hold then you're probably the one in the wrong

[erketatj]

Dr. Phil, why are you having these 2 racist ideologues on your show without anyone besides the lady they came on to abuse and browbeat, in order to counter their insanity? This is disgusting, and antithetical to the dream Dr. King spoke of.

[MTTT]

I’m finding it hard to side let alone like any of these women. They’re all very intolerable in my opinion.

[donnabullard]

When you approach a conversation with accusations & anger… you will receive a defensive attitude. It’s very obvious that your guests were hostile from the get go!

[loveboaterboy]

This Saira Rao seems to think her black privilege doesn't exist
