Alex Sigrist | White Man Asks Awkward Questions to Black Friend || Cake & Race w/ Mikole @AlexSigrist | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Hey everyone!
I visited Mikole at his studio this past weekend, and we decided to bring back an old series we call, "Cake and Race." It's all about "race relations through awkward conversations" ... while eating cake to make it less awkward... I think?
Today, we talked about some questions that maybe a lot of white people like myself have for black people. Oftentimes, we're too shy to ask, or we don't know if it's appropriate to ask. That's why I want to thank Mike for taking the time out of his day to get the basics out of the way so that when us non-black people do have questions for our black friends... we can start with a little better background information.

2:18 - Do you prefer to be called black, black American, or African American?
3:32 - Does it feel weird that many of your white friends are speaking up about black American issues now?
4:40 - Was Remember the Titans just a movie for white people to feel better about race relations and the progress that we've made?
6:27 - Is it racist if I haven't seen Black Panther yet?
6:59 - What is white savior complex to you? And do you think that is happening right now on social media?
8:50 - What are black people thinking when they see white people arguing about Black Lives Matter on Facebook?
10:16 - Can white people throw up the black power fist?
11:16 - Do you or did you ever feel the desire to discuss issues of race with your white friends, but resist that desire to avoid an awkward situation?
13:34 - How do black people feel about white people? Hate them? Fear them? Distrust them? Respect them? Have no opinion about them?
15:04 - What is the most common microaggression that white people do to you that they don't realize they're doing?
17:07 - "White man asks awkward questions to black friend" - Is the title of this video racist, inappropriate, or neither?
Anyway, it's just something to think about.
Hope you're all doing well.
If you have a question you want to ask Alex or Mike, leave it in the comments!
All the best, and Goodbye Haseyo.
