Description
The raging debate over racism and social justice is highly complex and there are no easy answers, “but if we’re not permitted to have a robust conversation about them, we will not fashion good social policy,” said David Bernstein, founder of the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values, on the most recent episode of “Can We Talk About It?” Bernstein joined host Debi Ghate to give his perspective on the race debate and discuss the consequences of dividing society into oppressor and oppressed, the relationship between discouraging conversation and polarization and his campaign to get back to Martin Luther King’s vision of a colorblind society.
