This chapter critically examines an interview involving two Black journalists, highlighting biases and superficial responses that hinder meaningful discussions on race and identity. It explores the responsibilities of media figures to engage thoughtfully in political discourse, citing historical figures as a reference point for complicity in mainstream narratives. The conversation further delves into the intersection of race and politics, particularly during the 2016 election, reflecting on significant contributions from influential thinkers and the evolution of public voices around reparations.
