5. Daniel Okon | Racism in Minnesota


Listen Later

Daniel Okon lives about a mile away from where George Floyd was murdered on May 25th, 2020. Daniel has been a black man living in Minnesota his entire life, and he came on the show to speak on his experiences with racism. Daniel points out that Minnesota has long been labeled as "one of the top states to live in", but how this only applies to white people - not black people. He would like to live in a world where Minnesota is the best place to live, period. For all humans. I would like to see that too. On this episode, we talk about: Experiencing racism as a 3rd grader, Racism as it exists today, The George Floyd murder, 4 steps for change, Why defund the police, and How America was never great. To learn more, Daniel recommends the book "How to be an Antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi. Please REACH OUT with any questions you have, any topic you want to discuss, or any support you need!
