009 - "Things are good ... do we still need this podcast?" is the first publication of our second season at TWPGTIS. After the conviction of George Floyd's and Ahmaud Arbery's killers, some of the racial tension in the U.S. has been reduced. But does that mean things are "good"?
Majority race folks got really involved in cross-racial conversations in 2020, and to a lesser extent in 2021, and now in 2022, there's a tangible feeling of "Stop talking about race, it makes me uncomfortable!" There are even laws restricting how teachers can talk about race in the classroom.
But disparity and racism still are alive and well in our country, according to co-hosts Randy Bonser and Mel Turner. The two chat about why we still need a podcast that explains to White people why their innocent comments can sometimes come off as insensitive or ignorant.
We also feature a special guest on this Season Two debut -- Chandra Wright, an entrepreneur and political strategist with some wise things to say about our present situation and the need for further cross-racial conversation.
