  • Why I Can't Make Up My Mind About Race Policies & Reparations

    Why I Can't Make Up My Mind About Race Policies & Reparations
    Dec 22 2025
    In this episode, I unpack my conflicted thoughts on affirmative action, reparations, and race-conscious policies, using Black land loss as a case study for why this debate resists easy answers.

    Tech difficulties delayed us a week, but I hope you'll enjoy the final episode of the year.

  • Why I Can't Make Up My Mind About Policing

    Why I Can't Make Up My Mind About Policing
    Dec 8 2025
    Here’s something you might not realize: Progressives focus on the harms of over-policing, but Black Americans are more worried about under-policing.

    While progressives shout “abolish the police,” most Black Americans don’t want that at all. In fact, they overwhelmingly want *more* effective policing, not less.

    There's a lot to unpack.

  • Why I Can't Make Up My Mind About Implicit Bias

    Why I Can't Make Up My Mind About Implicit Bias
    Dec 1 2025
    First I was sure implicit bias explained everything. Then I was sure it explained nothing. These days, though, I'm in more of an awkward in-between.

    In this episode, I walk through how I got convinced, de-convinced, and and landed here — still side-eyeing the science on implicit bias, but not ready to write it off completely.

    Oh, and here's that article I mentioned, and here's my past episode on implicit bias on Apple and Spotify.
