Summary

This week, comedian and host of CNN’s United Shades of America W. Kamau Bell (@wkamaubell) joined Ana (@anamariecox) to talk about the racial bias training Starbucks workers across the country had this past week. They spoke about the hypocrisy in trying to take on racism while relying on euphemisms like “racial profiling” and “color brave” without being able to say the word “racist,” as well as how many anti-racism trainings only encompass racism against black people, and leave out other people of color. They also discussed the ways racism actively harms people of color in their daily lives, and Kamau shared one of the ways he physically alters himself when entering white spaces: crouching, so his height appears less intimidating.

0:00.0	So I am looking at the Sun Basket recipe book right now. The thing about Sun Basket, one of the
0:06.6	many things that separates it from other meal kits is that you don't just get the recipes that you

0:24.0	missing food. And I look at this list and I think, gosh, you know, maybe next week I'll do all
