Talking about race isn’t always easy. Andre and Todd were college freshman roommates - one black, one white - who spent the first 25 years of knowing each other without ever discussing the topic. So they decided to go deep on the role of race and the state of race relations in the U.S... and to record their conversations so that others could see what a first conversation about race might look like, where no topic is off the table and no views are stifled or censored, but where they always listen, respect, and seek to understand - even and especially when they see things differently. And they are now welcoming guests on to experience that same kind of radical openness, honesty, and empathy. Healing Race is about having the real-deal, don’t-filter-what-you-think conversation about race, and they would love for you to join.
Is racial bias & prejudice still a regular occurrence for black people in today’s America? Do Black Americans show prejudice in reverse against white people? Does all racial bias give white people a white privilege? And if there is indeed a white privilege, what are potential solutions?
Is there a double standard when it comes to how White & Black Americans are expected to react to bias against them? In other words, are white people given greater allowance to express their hurt feelings, while black people are accused of being too sensitive? Can Black and White Americans find any common understanding of whether there any white advantage still exists in America and what that white advantage is? Our guests also turn to discussing solutions that would engender greater racial equality.

Is There Still White Privilege in America? Conservatives & Liberals Discuss
Do all white people have white privilege? What is it, and how does it show up in people’s lives? Is white privilege a major reason for racial inequality? And how does talk of “white privilege” impact relationships across racial lines? Do they inflame tensions? Increase understanding? Lead to healing? Exacerbate racial conflict?
Our guests discuss whether or not white privilege exists, whether or not it is overused or misunderstood, and how racial biases affect White and Black Americans today. They share personal experiences of times they were judged based on their skin color and how stereotypes and biases have impacted their lives and their feelings about how we talk about race in America.

Should Black People Give Up Being “Black?”
Should we get rid of our racial identities and see ourselves as “human” first? Do our racial identities prevent us from getting past racial issues in America, and does the construct of race also hurt white people?
Does calling ourselves “black” and “white” keep us from seeing each other’s humanity and perpetuate the racial divisions and inequities that we aspire to resolve? Is there a way to own our various identities and appreciate them all without conflict and division?
We discuss how we should navigate racial (and other) differences, whether these identity labels - or “boxes” - are part of the problem, and how we can move forward toward a more integrated country.
