The problem is, we never talk. We keep to our own, we slander “the other”, and we go out of our way to point fingers. This serves to keep us all ignorant and unaware of other perspectives and experiences.
What would happen if a 25 year old black kid from the Walker Holmes neighborhood of South Memphis sat down with a 42 year old white cop raised by small town conservative Christian parents to discuss racism, policing, culture, religion, and sports?
