0:00.0	Hello, Anna Richardson here. I just thought I'd leave you a quick voice note to tell you
0:06.6	about my new advice podcast. It can't just be me.
0:10.8	I'll be getting super honest about my own topsy-turvy life, as well as helping you solve
0:18.0	your life dilemmas with the support of some very special guests and experts. From Podimo
0:24.0	and Max created, it can't just be me, wherever you get your podcasts.
0:37.0	Basically, we're talking about two narratives here. Narrative one is the Ibram X
0:41.7	Kendi, Robin D'Angelo narrative. And essentially what these people think, like America is a white man's
0:47.6	country. You know, if minorities try to rise, you'll have to show them the price of a white man's
0:52.0	head. In reality, what you see is this mixed picture of white minority groups doing fairly well
0:56.8	and competing with one another. The USA and similar countries are flawed, but in any coherent sense.

1:22.3	It's great to have you back on. The last time we spoke was two years ago, and I actually wanted to
1:29.4	kick off with a fairly broad question just leading on from some of the stuff we talked about last time.
1:34.8	Last time we spoke, it was still really the aftermath of the BLM riots of 2020, the whole fallout
1:41.3	from the George Floyd killing and the disturbances that shook America. And I wanted to just ask you
1:47.6	how things are panning out now. Three years later, what is the temperature like in the race debate
1:55.5	in particular in the US? Have things become a bit more calm, or are the divisions being intensified
2:01.2	entrenched in different ways? How do you take the temperature of the current discussion around
2:05.6	the race question in America right now? I mean, I think the temperature in the states is certainly
2:10.8	down from kind of its frenzy to peak. I'd be interested in whether that's true in the UK or in
