This episode explores the importance of the written word (in English) and its impact on society. The importance of writing/reading/speaking in English is a huge part of white supremacist culture history and its importance is seen in schools and work places too. Your intelligence is dependent on how well you read and write, as if there are no other ways to communicate and share information. For ADHDers this can be challenging. But it’s what’s valued and if it’s not written down then it’s not true. It’s also been used a lot over history to spread ideas that encourage and enforce the idea that white people and their ideas and beliefs are best, while erasing and devaluing the history of other cultures.
