### Skin Privilege, Political Buzzwords and Progressive Code

- **Episode:** [19: Show Me the Money!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/19-show-me-the-money.md)
- **Published:** 2008-03-01
- **Time:** 1:06:58–1:10:50
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/19-show-me-the-money/chapter/skin-privilege-political-buzzwords-and-progressive-code.md

A shooting in Berkeley involving a police officer leads to the discovery of the term "skin-privileged white woman" used in public discourse. The hosts analyze this as a new "code word" for the progressive movement, similar to terms like "truth to power" or "gravitas." They argue these linguistic shifts are used to identify members of specific political subcultures.
