I've thought long and hard about how to address the growing awareness of sexual harassment, the social responsibility in dealing with these allegations, and possible ways to move forward.  

In this episode, I offer my thoughts as well as a discussion on how my relationships and ideas about women have changed over the years.

I appreciate everyone taking the time to listen to this sensitive topic, and I implore everyone to be more thoughtful and considerate in their discourse with others.

This week we delve into our most controversial topic: the word NIGGA, affectionately referred to as the N-word. People have discussed this topic before, but it's usually in an antagonistic way or to extract some type of social concession.  This will not be the case in Roc's World.

We will examine the many ways this word is used, who has the privilege (is this a real thing?) to say it without social harm, and I will share my personal relationship and use of it. 

Please enjoy!!!
