Episode 22 is a follow-up from episode 21 which was promoted in the "Race Haven Community Dialogue" Facebook group as a dialogue between John and Scott about an open letter written to Colin Kaepernick that was posted on an online news site called the Independent Journal Review. In response to the uproar in the "Race Haven Community Dialogue" over Scott's statement that "John supports this article. I don't" and the fact that they didn't dissect the letter the way they intended to do on the previous show they wanted to record and release this episode as an immediate follow-up. In this episode they break down and share their individual perspective of the letter paragraph by paragraph using dialogue as the framework. Welcome To The Dialogue!
