- Diari
We talked with Al Young, associate professor of sociology and African/Afro-American studies at the University of Michigan, about the words we use to talk about race and current events.
Here are some of the words we talked about:
Is what happened in Baltimore a “riot” or an “uprising?”
“Black-on-black crime” as statistically correct, but no more so than other intra-group crime.
What are the assumptions behind saying, an “unarmed black man”
Were the recent murders in Charleston, South Carolina a “hate crime” or a “terrorist attack?”
