You might have Heard Tell that Critical Race Theory has been among the most debated issues in culture and politics lately. While the answer to the questions raised by the controversy are varied, what is apparent is not only the news media but the public can't even seem to agree on what CRT is, much less agree what to do about it. So we turn to our friends at The Narratives Project, who do great work in parsing out how issues are being discussed and who recently released a deep dive into CRT. Titled "Defining Differences: How five major news publications defined and operationalized Critical Race Theory" it gives great insight along with a comparing and contrasting of how different news media outlets handled CRT.

So you might have Heard Tell that a lot of our debates and discourse about culture and politics comes down to identify. How we see the world, what our priors are, what group of folks we identify with; all these things and more factor in to how we view, discuss, and react to issues in culture and politics. Even more than that, especially in the modern social media age, our culture & politics are shaping, and in some cases become, the centerpieces of some folks' identities. This goes to the heart of not just culture and politics, but what it means to be human, beyond just what type of person you are, the beliefs you hold, and things like what it means to be an American. So we turn to writer & pastor Dennis Sanders to talk about all these issues, how identify is shaping and being shaped by culture and politics, how things like loneliness and friendships affect the lives of folks, how generational and historic changes push that sense of identity, and also how current events challenge us and our viewpoints both as individuals and as communities. Dennis also talks about the writing he has been doing about the downfall of the once might Sears, and what lessons can be drawn from it...and not just the economics of it. Dennis Sanders, on this episode of Heard Tell.
