Living while Black !

As I'm paying attention to the Black Lives Matter, I'm coming across more and more injustices and issues that I was completely missing. The talk by Baratunde Thurston is yet another deeply moving and disturbing narrative of what many of us fail to see and appreciate.

How to deconstruct racism, one headline at a time
Baratunde Thurston explores the phenomenon of white Americans calling the police on black Americans who have committed the crimes of ... eating, walking or generally "living while black." In this profound, thought-provoking and often hilarious talk, he reveals the power of language to change stories of trauma into stories of healing -- while challenging us all to level up.
