A Guidebook for Talking About Race

Midday on WNYC | Feb 2, 2018

Ijeoma Oluo, Editor at Large for The Establishment, discusses her book So You Want to Talk About Race. She leads constructive conversations about race and social issues, including police brutality trials, white supremacist rallies and Black Lives Matter protests. Each chapter focuses on a specific question: “What is cultural appropriation anyway?,” “Why do I keep being told to check my privilege?,” “If I don’t support affirmative action, does that make me racist?” and “What is intersectionality, and why do I need it?”

This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
