February and March’s TCT Book Club is “Nice White Ladies: The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It” by Jessie Daniels

In a nation deeply divided by race, the “Karens” of the world are easy to villainize. But in Nice White Ladies, Jessie Daniels addresses the unintended complicity of even well-meaning white women. She reveals how their everyday choices harm communities of color. White mothers, still expected to be the primary parents, too often uncritically choose to send their kids to the “best” schools, collectively leading to a return to segregation. She addresses a feminism that pushes women of color aside, and a wellness industry that insulates white women in a bubble of their own privilege.

Daniels then charts a better path forward. She looks to the white women who fight neo-Nazis online and in the streets, and who challenge all-white spaces from workplaces to schools to neighborhoods. In the end, she shows how her fellow white women can work toward true equality for all.

This online discussion group will meet for 6 consecutive Wednesdays from 3:30pm - 4:30pm starting on February 1st.

This conversation took place on Wednesday, March 22nd at 3:30pm.
