This week we discuss why white people routinely call the police on black people when doing innocuous things and the implications of these occurrences. We also unpack the concept of social exclusion and how it affects people of color. The guests are Dr. Jason Johnson, politics editor at The Root.com, political science professor at Morgan State University, and frequent contributor to MSNBC and Sirius XM; and Dr. Connie Razza, director of research at Demos. The hosts for this episode are Kezmiché “Kim” Atterbury and Jordun Lawrence.
