Isabel Wilkerson, Talib Kweli, and Caste
Season 2 Episode 10!
This episode is dedicated to my listeners in Germany who LOVE the Monday Motivation episodes.
On this week's Monday Motivation I discuss the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, the relationship between Caste and Racism as best I can relate it (I'm sure I didn't do nearly a good enough job) and tell the story of the time, after renting my condo to the rapper Talib Kweli, I was drawn into a fight as a bunch of rich white people clutched their pearls at his merely living in the building.
As a reminder, this season, I'll be more regularly putting out Monday episodes. When I have a special episode worthy of releasing, it will still be those. When I don't, I'll be putting out these instead. I call them Monday Motivations and they're short episodes that are meant to start conversations.
