Racial Justice: Ta-Nehisi Coates
<p><strong>Episode Notes</strong></p> <p>Be Better Today (Season 2, Episode 67) – Racial Justice: Ta-Nehisi Coates</p> <p>Today’s show notes are a near-verbatim transcript because we believe the subject warrants it.</p> <p>Welcome to the Be Better Today quickcast, I’m your host, Pete.</p> <p>Today’s quote is a deep, candid look at how it is difficult to find the right phrasing when talking about race and racism, especially in the United States, because of the total destruction it entails. The quote comes from author Ta-Nehisi Coates who said:</p> <p>“But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.”</p> <p>Now, let’s get out there and #bebettertoday!</p> <p>Be sure to check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thenofearproject/">The No Fear Project on Facebook</a>.</p> <p><strong>Check out our other podcasts:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-no-fear-project/id1496045105">The No Fear Project</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-wine-pod/id1489596761">That Wine Pod</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fatman-chronicles/id1282790001">FatMan Chronicles</a></p> <p>SUPPORT the Be Better Today podcast through The No Fear Project on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thenofearproject">Patreon</a>!</p> <p>The Be Better Today podcast, The No Fear Project, and Paragon Media are committed to helping those with mental illness get help and to defeating the stigma.

Racial Justice: Chris Rock
<p><strong>Episode Notes</strong></p> <p>Be Better Today (Season 2, Episode 66) – Racial Justice: Chris Rock</p> <p>Today’s show notes are a near-verbatim transcript because we believe the subject warrants it.</p> <p>Welcome to the Be Better Today quickcast, I’m your host, Pete.</p> <p>Today’s quote on racial justice comes from actor and comedian, Chris Rock. Mr. Rock’s take uses vivid imagery with his trademark wit to get his point across. And I quote:</p> <p>“We treat racism in this country like it’s a style that America went through. Like flared legs and lava lamps. Oh, that crazy thing we did. We were hanging black people. We treat it like a fad instead of a disease that eradicates millions of people. You’ve got to get in a lab, and study it, and see its origins, and see what it’s immune to and what breaks it down.”</p> <p>That is something to think about.</p> <p>Now, let’s get out there and #bebettertoday!</p> <p>Be sure to check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thenofearproject/">The No Fear Project on Facebook</a>.</p> <p><strong>Check out our other podcasts:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-no-fear-project/id1496045105">The No Fear Project</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-wine-pod/id1489596761">That Wine Pod</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fatman-chronicles/id1282790001">FatMan Chronicles</a></p> <p>SUPPORT the Be Better Today podcast through The No Fear Project on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thenofearproject">Patreon</a>!</p> <p>The Be Better Today podcast, The No Fear Project, and Paragon Media are committed to helping those with mental illness get help and to defeating the stigma.

Racial Justice: Ibram X. Kendi
<p><strong>Episode Notes</strong></p> <p>Be Better Today (Season 2, Episode 65) – Racial Justice: Ibram X. Kendi</p> <p>Today’s show notes are a near-verbatim transcript because we believe the subject warrants it.</p> <p>Welcome to the Be Better Today quickcast, I’m your host, Pete.</p> <p>Thinking about racial justice can be uncomfortable. The usual narrative around racial justice must change – and change is also uncomfortable.</p> <p>One voice that is rising with new perspectives around racism is that of Ibram X. Kendi. Mr. Kendi offers up a different perspective with this quote from an article in <a href="https://theundefeated.com/features/ibram-kendi-leading-scholar-of-racism-says-education-and-love-are-not-the-answer/">The Undefeated</a>:</p> <p>“We have been taught that ignorance and hate lead to racist ideas, lead to racist policies. If the fundamental problem is ignorance and hate, then your solutions are going to be focused on education, and love and persuasion. But of course [Stamped from the Beginning] shows that the actual foundation of racism is not ignorance and hate, but self-interest, particularly economic and political and cultural.”</p> <p>That is something to think about.</p> <p>Now, let’s get out there and #bebettertoday!</p> <p>Be sure to check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thenofearproject/">The No Fear Project on Facebook</a>.</p> <p><strong>Check out our other podcasts:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-no-fear-project/id1496045105">The No Fear Project</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-wine-pod/id1489596761">That Wine Pod</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fatman-chronicles/id1282790001">FatMan Chronicles</a></p> <p>SUPPORT the Be Better Today podcast through The No Fear Project on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thenofearproject">Patreon</a>!</p> <p>The Be Better Today podcast, The No Fear Project, and Paragon Media are committed to helping those with mental illness get help and to defeating the stigma.
