Sinopse

With the latest killings of unarmed black men by white police officers, lots of people are talking about race and racism, and many are taking sides. Instead of reacting and judging, let’s see what we can learn. Racism: the tendency to assume characteristics of a person based on his or her race. In other words, I see a white man, and I assume certain things. I see a black man, and I assume others. And so on. What does racism have to do with me? Have I suffered from racism? Do I recognize racism in myself? Have I done stupid things to try to prove I’m not racist? What were the attitudes about race in my family and my world? How have they impacted me? Whichever side we’re on, it’s easy to condemn others. But how many of us are willing to take a hard look at ourselves and see how racism has affected us and our lives. Join us for an honest conversation. Let’s look deeply into racism and start healing. Tune in, call in, and join the post-show forum (link on right). Let tragedy feed growth.
