In this episode, I reflect on the past year of unbelievable horror… the excuses and legitimizing we’ve seen from the media and our politicians, how deeply entrenched tropes of ‘civilized’ vs ‘barbarian’ are. I also take a closer look at Ta-Nehisi Coates’ recent interview on CBS morning as well as his interview with Jon Stewart.
