White Supremacy in Deconstruction Spaces

Untidy Faith

In this episode of the Untidy Faith Podcast, host Kate Boyd is joined by Trey Ferguson and Robert Monson from the Three Black Men crew for a thoughtful conversation about white supremacy in deconstruction spaces. They explore how patterns of white supremacy continue to manifest even after people leave conservative religious environments, and discuss practical ways to build more liberative communities. Let’s examine how these patterns affect our interactions and envision a world beyond the current systems.

Topics Covered:

* How white supremacy manifests in deconstruction spaces, often appearing as simply "an exchange of certainties"

* The tendency to platform and center white voices even in progressive spaces

* Practical steps toward dismantling white supremacy, including diversifying whose voices we listen to

* The importance of being in community with people who experience the world differently

* Moving beyond resistance to envisioning and creating a world beyond white supremacy
