What Do You Do When Your Facebook "Friend" Posts Something Racist?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 11, 2014

This week's episode of the "New Tech City" podcast is about how to respond to Facebook posts you don't agree with in the wake of the Ferguson and Staten Island grand jury decisions. Ibrahim Abdul Matin (who is featured in the episode), a columnist for Thought Catalog and the author of the upcoming book "Read This On The Subway" (to be published in early 2015), talks about his own process for responding to or ignoring racist posts.
