Come for the diversity, leave for the intolerance.
I am liberal Democrat and am emphatically anti-Trump. I found In The Thick because I wanted to expand my perspective and finding a point of view from a POC viewpoint was both welcome and refreshing. When I think of America, I think of the melting pot, inclusive, working toward fixing injustice, and always perplexed the chasm between sex, creed, and class is so wide and deep. I understand unfair discrimination, hostility and prejudice reinforces the divide between white and black, and there's not always a desire to hug the nearest white person. Having said, I find it disheartening to hear In the Thick say things like "I don't know about white people anymore because I don't know if they voted for Trump". I've heard more than a couple shows where the hosts and their guests nod in agreement how tiring it is to listen to white people problems, and try to explain endlessly to them about POC problems. As a white person, maybe I don't always get it, maybe I do need the lines drawn for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one; but come on, I'm also on the side of equality and fairness. I feel like sometimes I'm being lumped into the same pile of white people that POC don't trust, after a while you feel like maybe you should stop reaching out and offering olive branches and seeking solutions. In Trumpland, I'm sure this isn't where we should be, especially when we should be seeking allies and fighting the common enemy: authoritarianism.Read full review »

In the Thick is exactly what I need to listen to as we navigate this fu*k show of an administration. To hear the voices of Latinx and other reporters/experts of color means so much to me as a Latina. They cover true facts and the round table discussion format is great. Excellent diverse voices 🙌🏾

Such a well done show - a perspective I wish was heard more often and by a more wide ranged audience (read: upper class white cisgendered males and beyond) thank you for all that you do! If you have any suggestions of tangible things we can do post election please suggest in your shoes! My hope...Read full review »

I've only listened to two of the podcasts so far but I love the conversation. We're all searching for perspective on many of these issues and the opinions expressed on this podcast are very thoughtful, illuminating, and informative.Read full review »
