Josh and Chris once again devote the episode to the history unfolding all around us, and why moral clarity and truth are better agents for justice than mere objectivity. The guys also discuss why racism is now at a moment of historical reckoning. Taking on the ‘original sin’ of slavery in world history, Josh considers how racism became the illegitimate offspring of emergent global capitalism in the age of the Atlantic Slave Trade, while Chris follows racism's destructive path through America’s past and the violent policing of the black body, and reminds us of the courageous efforts to combat it.
