I don't know what most white people in this country feel, but I can only include what they feel from the state of their institutions.

Now, this is the evidence. You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children, on some idealism which you assure me

Welcome back to Black History for White People, a podcast where we educate, resource, and

challenge white people about black history. I'm Brad, and on today's show are my co-host Katina and

Garrett. Today's topic is mass incarceration. We continue our series on the topic by discussing

a little bit about policing, the war on drugs, and our criminal justice system's courtrooms.

We hope you enjoy the discussion.

Okay, so we are going to continue our conversation on mass incarceration.

Garen, can you catch us up for people that are just chiming in now?

If you haven't listened to part one and part two, you should definitely go back and listen

to that before you continue in this conversation.

But yeah, catch us up.

What do we need to know and where are we headed in this episode?

Yeah, so assuming that you have listened, but maybe it's been a couple weeks,

just to remind you where we've been.

We talked in the first episode about our need to have a heart for and care for

and compassion for people who have drug addiction or are imprisoned.

And our culture almost tells us that it's okay to hate and revile people who are in those

situations.

But that's actually not real.

That's actually not okay.
