Cedric and the newly minted, Dr. Sanchez Fair, discuss the events of the weekend of the White Supremacist attack that took the lives of ten beautiful Black souls in Buffalo, NY. We discuss the implications of the terrorist being motivated by the "Great Replacement Theory," and the growing trend of these white racist terror attacks.

Customer Reviews
An honest show
I really enjoy listening. It’s beautiful to examine race, spirituality, religion, gender, politics, etc., and how they all intersect. Love it.
Refreshing
Am a female seemed white who has gained so much from listening to this podcast. I didn’t and don’t listen for an education, but certainly I have been the recipient of one from these gentlemen and their guests. They are “real” people, with a down to earth sensibility, demonstrative humility and a humanity that puts faces to the effects of systemic racism in our culture. The lived experiences that they share with listeners offers someone like me a perspective that my own life never could. Anyone who is struggling to understand why anti-racism matters, how the church hasn’t done what it should, where the history education has failed us, will find those answers here. I hope this resource continues and continues to evolve - playing a part in ensuring a life for this movement, rather than a moment.
Essential Listening
Cedric and Sanchez both bring perspectives that make them uniquely and undoubtedly qualified to speak on the subjects of racial tension, preconceptions and biases, institutional and systemic racism and oppression, and what reconciliation looks like. They do a great job of incorporating experts on subjects they address, and actually deferring to them on matters that they are more qualified to speak on. Refreshing in a time of talking heads shouting over each other. They speak with humility balanced with boldness, not wavering on the truth but allowing room for listeners who are newer on their journey of anti-racism, like me. Thankful for the work they do.
