In this episode, we continue our discussion about racism and tackle a few new hot-button topics connected to racism in America.
Some think it’s racist to read books that examine racism written by white people. Do you? Should books about racism only be written by those who are affected by it?
If a white person chooses to move to a Black neighborhood knowing that this could be the beginning of gentrification, is this racist?
Is it racist for a white person to laugh at the jokes of a Black comedian whose performance, which is before a Black audience, centers around poking fun at the foibles of Black people? What if it were someone like Bill Burr?
