Podcast talk given June 18th, 2020. I added "A Talk for 'White People'" to the title after it was pointed out to me that this is what this talk is, and that my failure to identify this is problematic.
This talk is (in part) me showing where I am in this particular moment; definitely I have a lot to learn. ALL Dharma Talks (by anyone) clearly show the speaker's mind state, including their enlightenment and their delusion.
I welcome further feedback.
