0G124: Parable of the Talents and Critical Race Theory, Part 1

Election season is upon us! Will we end up with the needlessly rapey "Make America Great Again" demagogue? How many people of color will experience some form of genocide? Will the Pox ever end? While we wait to see, we start our coverage with the background from Parable of the Sower, the first book in the series that is recapped at the start of Parable of the Talents. We provide a crash course on Critical Race Theory, which we'll unpack further over the next few episodes alongside the other philosophy. Keep breathing, we'll get through this.
