Did the Civil Rights Act really “discriminate” against white people… or did it just stop discrimination?

Dive into the facts politicians hope you won’t Google. We break down what the Civil Rights Act actually did, when women were finally allowed to open bank accounts, how redlining stole generational wealth from Black families, why LGBTQ+ marriage equality is shockingly recent, and what DEI really means (spoiler: it’s not “hire unqualified people”).

With history, receipts, humor, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, this episode explains why equality can feel threatening to people who benefited from inequality — and why civil rights protections still matter today.

If you care about social justice, politics, culture, or simply understanding the world we live in, this one’s for you.
