That tense and uncomfortable topic, that hair scary thing, that "silly" subject that makes folk squirm in their seats: RACE. This episode is basically my thoughts about it. Folks get awful bent outta shape sometimes over something that is completely not by choice and totally out of their control. So I say it is high time we squash that stupid mentality. The only reason we should care or question our race is for the learning about each and finding out just how much we truly are CONNECTED?? Instead, thus far, we've allowed it to separate us!! What is wrong with us?? We MUST quit segregating ourselves from others strictly over what we look like. I say this in the episode, but if the whole box of Crayola crayons can live together in a box in harmony, we Humans sure as shit should be able to live on this huge rock in some semblance of harmony, too!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sttwyt/support
