003 - Co-hosts Randy and Mel explain why the statement that a person does not see color is not only false, but offensive. White people often say this as a way of saying, "I am not prejudiced," but the actual effect of the phrase is to demean a person's culture and heritage.
We have our first call-in guest in this episode, Dr. Stacey Pearson-Wharton, a psychologist and college dean/counseling center director who hosts the podcast "The Dot." Dr. Stacey talks about why "not seeing color" is not a compliment to either person talking, and how it implies things the speaker does not intend.
Mel and Randy talk, as they often do, about how the beautiful passage in Romans 12 from the Bible gives key insights to improving the way we speak to and treat people of other backgrounds.
