Roxane Gay on “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America’s Gun Problem”
Manage episode 441701024 series 2601150
I talk with one of my favorite cultural critics, Roxane Gay, about her long-form essay on Black gun ownership.

We also delve into the societal cost of our resisting, rejecting, and resenting nuance and the importance of holding the tension of competing ideas.
