Washington Post is condemned for video urging Americans to set up 'white accountability groups' and force themselves into 'a period of deep shame' over their skin color
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'
