Washington Post is condemned for video urging Americans to set up 'white accountability groups'
 - [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The video is the latest in a podcast series called The New Normal hosted by Nicole Ellis
- It aired on Friday, and suggests white people segregate themselves into groups to discuss how white people have harmed people of color over history
- One expert on the episode, Resmaa Manakem, suggests people take part in these groups for years before they can confront people of color
- Trauma therapist Ilyse Kennedy said she took part in one such group and said it was important for white people to feel 'a period of deep shame'
- The episode faced backlash, with one saying the suggestions were akin to a 'pseudoreligious movement' and constituted 'neoracism'
