Summary

Hosts Raquel Cepeda, Tanner Colby, and Slate culture writer, Aisha Harris, explore why people of color are on TV screens but not in writers rooms, if Shonda Rhimes is a special effect, and ask if on-campus coddling is actually a thing. Our National Conversation About Conversations About Race is brought to you by the Rachel Maddow Show. Every weeknight MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow breaks down the big headlines for the local threads that tie them all together. Sure, that’s a lot of searching and it takes a lot of work. But even in a country this big, there are no local stories: your life and what you see from your front porch is directly connected to the national news. Watch Rachel as she connects the dots and covers America’s news, one story at a time. It’s the Rachel Maddow Show weeknights at 9 Eastern, only on MSNBC.
