Healing Race
Talking about race isn’t always easy. Andre and Todd were college freshman roommates - one black, one white - who spent the first 25 years of knowing each other without ever discussing the topic. So they decided to go deep on the role of race and the state of race relations in the U.S... and to record their conversations so that others could see what a first conversation about race might look like, where no topic is off the table and no views are stifled or censored, but where they always listen, respect, and seek to understand - even and especially when they see things differently. And they are now welcoming guests on to experience that same kind of radical openness, honesty, and empathy. Healing Race is about having the real-deal, don’t-filter-what-you-think conversation about race, and they would love for you to join.

Is racial bias & prejudice still a regular occurrence for black people in today’s America? Do Black Americans show prejudice in reverse against white people? Does all racial bias give white people a white privilege? And if there is indeed a white privilege, what are potential solutions?
Is there a double standard when it comes to how White & Black Americans are expected to react to bias against them? In other words, are white people given greater allowance to express their hurt feelings, while black people are accused of being too sensitive?
In this conversation, our guests discuss racial prejudices and stereotypes that Black Americans experience in their daily lives and what’s behind the assumptions that black people make about white people in response.
Can Black and White Americans find any common understanding of whether there any white advantage still exists in America and what that white advantage is?
Our guests also turn to discussing solutions that would engender greater racial equality.
