In this episode, we discuss the n-word. We examine how and why it can stir up such strong feelings where other words cannot. Furthermore we cite examples of how to challenge the language used so freely by well-meaning folks so that we all can move toward a world free of hurtful language, prejudices, and stereotypes.

Lots of folks celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and use him as the example that Black folks should follow to create change and to further the cause. Many of them, however don't take into account that Dr. King was critical of many parts of this country and wasn't just a preacher and a marcher. In this episode, we discuss exactly how we are fully honoring Dr. King's legacy and following his leadership.
