Episode 8 A Black Man Learns from the Mistakes of Others
Manage episode 301150004 series 2976257
This episode features my cousin Sharn Collins who is the youngest cousin in my Mom's generation. Even though he is from Mom's generation, we claim him in mine. Sharn and I differ in our understanding of police brutality and violence. He urges Black people to not defy the police because they see themselves as authority figures. He also points out that a lot of what he has learned in life is based upon people providing examples of how not to behave. Unlike Sharn, I think that police violence is a result of institutional racism. Sharn and my disagreement is a perfect example of how to disagree without being disagreeable because we do it with love and laughter. We model for you and hopefully, provide a concrete example of how to listen and better understand different perspectives. Listen to this conversation in its entirety. I promise you will learn a lot and amplify it with us!
