Summary

“Strictly speaking, race does not exist,” Fe Bencosme says. Bencosme, author of the new book “You Are Not Your Race: Embracing Our Shared Humanity in a Chaotic Age,” says she knows her writings on race will offend people, but the reality is “there's no black race, there's no white race, there's no yellow or red race. These are ideas that were literally created by some taxonomist a very long time ago.” Bencosme joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share her own story of struggling with the topic of race, and to explain why she thinks Americans have become so obsessed with it.
