Summary

*This was recorded before I knew the proper pronunciation of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Jonathan Haidt's names*Back in 2017, my history buff good friend Ryan Downs and I recorded a short reaction to watching the James Baldwin documentary I Am Not Your Negro. It is a timely if incomplete discussion given recent events. I recommend watching the film first -- it is available for free on Prime Video if you have that subscription, and rentable else -- then listening to our brief discussion.https://www.amazon.com/I-Am-Not-Your-Negro/dp/B01MR52U7T Hosted on Acast.
