Summary

This latest installment of the collaborative series between Fong and Kemp zeroes in on the claim made by right wing media types that racism and bigotry are dead in America, and that white are the only Americans who don't see color. Fong and Kemp challenge these myths and discuss how white fragility frequently makes it impossible to get them to reexamine their myths and become more empathetic towards people who aren't like them.
