In the past few days, thousands of protesters took to the streets to support Black Lives Matter, the social movement against violence and systemic racism towards black people. The tragedy of George Floyd was the fuel that added to the already burning fire, mobilizing people to risk their lives in the middle of the pandemic and speak about the blatant injustices towards black people by the very institutions that are supposed to protect them. Talking about this very important topic, Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen speak about the ongoing racism in the country and the different parts of the world. They discuss the broken system and systemic oppression that spurred the anger and the need for a national upheaval that has been a long time coming. Recognizing their privileges, Jason and Whitney then talk to those who are retreating from the issue to radically rethink the societal problems that have made others feel unsafe and to really see the struggles of those who are not afforded the same rights and opportunities. Don’t miss this very necessary conversation to see the reality of how we have been living with a system that is completely broken.
