Pssst — white people! There is no shame in being white. There is only shame in ever thinking there was. In the 50 short, sharp, incisive essays contained in his book Whiteness: The Original Sin, author Jim Goad examines why the idea of being white has become the modern version of the unpardonable sin. On the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fifth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club, host Greg Johnson was joined by author Jim Goad as well as John Derbyshire and Angelo Plume (Telegram, YouTube) to discuss the book and anti-whiteness more generally. It is now available for download and online listening.
