People of Color

Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss labels, primarily the label People of Color. This came to us via a Twitter thread where the author suggested that term be retired from our use. Basically this episode is an evolution of our thoughts on the term and the thread. While we aren't policing language, I think this thread really gave us something to think about. Rather than using terms that are truly dehumanizing, although meant to be progressive, perhaps we focus more on the identity of individuals and just say what we mean. No real answers here - just things to think about.

The Week in News
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss the week in news. Every week brings new pod topics to us. Each week we try to discern one to talk about, but this week felt like a lot was happening, so we decided to talk about it all! We picked three prominent news topics (for us) and broke them down. It was a good reminder that the perpetuation of racism is everywhere.

"Not a White People Problem"
Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss the ability to move past racial injustices when they don't have historical or systemic knowledge of past injustices and when those injustices seem too far removed. We tie this into the recent events of the four young kids detained by police in Maplewood, MN -- as well as the fatal police shooting of Patrick Lyoya in Grand Rapids, MI.
