In this episode we will take a look at how scapegoating and "othering" works itself out in the world. The taxi driver Travis in the Scorsese film takes out his own self-hatred onto everyone around him. In our world this can come out in forms of racism, misogyny, homophobia, and other forms of scapegoating. I use the thoughts and words of James Baldwin to show another way that leads us towards empathy.
