Racism in America- An Asian-American Experience.
The maliciousness of racism and intolerance permeates every aspect of American society both directly and indirectly. Not a day goes by without a report of an awful offense directed towards people of color by their white counterparts. To say that racism is a public health crisis today is an understatement and it is up to us as individuals to be accountable for our hateful actions directed at those who we perceive as different. Our guest J, an Asian- American, will discuss her experiences with racism in North Fulton County Georgia and her feelings about the rise in violent crimes against Asian-Americans. It was actually shocking to hear of her experiences in North Fulton County GA but yet again it wasn't. It shows that racism, white fragility, and the mindset of white supremacy runs deep, so deep nobody knows when they are displaying these behaviors. Listen, like, and share! #stopasianhate

Black History Month
In this episode of Untold Racism we discuss Black History Month and why, for some, opting out may or may not be what you think it is. 2020, once again shed light on the racism that exists in America and the white of things. Fast forward to February 2021 and somehow BHM and school curriculum is a hot topic. We were honored to have a special guest, Laura this episode. She will discuss her experiences this year with the Black History learning curriculum of her children (Kindergarten and Second grade). Laura is home schooling due to COVID, her eyes were opened to the reality of what schools are teaching about Black History.
All three of us are still left to ponder...
1. Should history class be revamped?
2. Since Black History is American History should it be taught that way?
3. Is Black History Month another divisive seed planted at an early age?
Final thoughts... Black History should be celebrated today and every day!

Sickle Cell, the Unpopular Disease!
What do you know about Sickle Cell, if anything? We wanted to start off 2020 with something personal and very important to us at the Ro and Jo Show! There are apporoximately 100,000 Americans with Sickle Cell Anemia, however Sickle Cell does NOT have a National Registry like other diseases. It is deadly, and does not get proper attention from the healthcare community. In this episode we explain what Sickle Cell is, who it impacts, and the advances made to cure the disease. Since we recorded this episode "60 Minutes" did a segment on Sickle Cell that touched on some of these issues including how a new treatment using the HIV virus is curing Sickle Cell disease, in fact, roughly 16 people have been cured with this treatment.
