Episode 10: The Double Standard Olympics: Race and Rage Edition

Written By Andrea McCoy

In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Andrea and Hoen unpack why white aggression is so often excused, justified, or even framed as heroic — while Black, Indigenous, and racialized anger is quickly vilified, policed, or labeled “dangerous.”

Drawing on history, psychology, media patterns, and personal stories, the hosts explore how narrative power shapes who is viewed as human, who is viewed as a threat, and how bias quietly shapes everyday interactions. They also discuss the real-world consequences of these double standards, from policing to protests to family dynamics, and offer powerful reflections on what each of us can do to disrupt this narrative in ourselves and our communities.

Lighthearted moments, vulnerable storytelling, and sharp cultural insight all come together in a conversation you won’t be able to un-hear.
