Manage episode 319361593 series 3311581
Is conservative messaging putting woke to sleep?
We asked our panel three questions:
The first question. The term woke is being used as a negative pejorative (expressing contempt). In less than one year-is this a cultural backlash against America's racial reckoning?
===================
The second question on our the national backlash AGAINST America racial reckoning-
Has White allyship faded or are we seeing a backlash to Black Lives Matter?
=======================
And finally, Defund the police -was this the correct tagline to promote Police reform in America ? Let's Talk About Race (LTAR), a new intergenerational, roundtable discussion of independent national journalists featuring rigorous conversations and analysis of news coverage and the role race plays in politics, government, economy, education, and health.
