Do White Americans Understand the Black American Experience?
Manage episode 439130537 series 3497541
In this episode, Marin asks Susan how her perceptions and beliefs around race have evolved given her upbringing in a Southern community where open racial bigotry was commonplace and racial segregation was the norm.
What kind of life experiences can shape and re-shape our views about race, and how do we handle new information that contradicts what we’ve been socialized to believe about each other?
What can lead us to rely less on racial stereotypes and toward greater racial reconciliation?
Landon also shares his evolution having grown up as a Mormon in conservative Utah. How does media, popular music (like rap), and what we learn about history impact how Black Americans are viewed?
And what happens when someone like Marin doesn’t fit those racial stereotypes?
