The Intersection is a weekly podcast that discusses issues related to men, including, integrity, faith, honesty, and character.

Tom and Wes discuss the issue of Access and how a lack of access impacts those outside the dominant group, specifically, as it pertains to sports.  Equal access to resources, programs, equipment, mentoring, support, and connections does not exist for those outside the dominant group. 

Overgeneralizing, or, stereotyping impacts access. In a broad sense, race is a social construct developed by the dominant group. The dominant group decides the rules which gain individuals access to resources. The dominant group's bias toward people of color and  the limits the dominant group places on access to resources is at the heart of systemic racism. 

A shared commitment to an elevated belief or value can diminish the negative impact of racism through the promotion of a change in behavior, which can lead to changes in systems that oppress people outside the dominant group.
