Beth Blumklotz Grew Up Biracial In A “Liberal” Town
In the immediate aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, protests against police brutality sprung up in cities across the country, and there has been a reckoning about the continued inequality that exists in our society. Beth Blumklotz grew up African-American and white, raised in a white adoptive household. She observed the duality of how people are treated due to the color of their skin, even in a supposedly liberal city like Portland, Oregon. Sarah speaks with Beth about raising a black son, the discrimination she endured as a young person, and how systemic racism is not black people’s problem to solve.
