ItÂs very difficult to discuss racial issues in America because every conversation tends to devolve down into some hostile version of, ÂThatÂs racist vs. ÂNo, itÂs not -- and nothing ever gets accomplished. In an attempt to try something a little different, I reached out to some friends: Demetrius Minor (Preservation and Purpose: The Making of a Young Millennial, A Manifesto for Faith, Family and Politics), Kevin Jackson (Race Pimping: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Business of Liberalism), Jennifer Burke and Talitha McEachin.
