If you listen to podcasts and are interested in in-depth looks at race issues in America, here are two I recommend.
Nice White Parents. A podcast miniseries by the makers of This American Life, which looks at the way White parents in New York schools can and do manipulate the system--and the school--in ways that favor their interests without even realizing what they're doing or how it affects the people of color around them. If you have any interest in exploring what underlying structural racism looks like, this is a really good look at it. Nobody gets demonized, everybody gets a fair chance to lay out their side of the story, but they put everything so clearly that you can see how race is twisting things even if the white parents involved don't see it.
Sounds Like Hate. A podcast from the Southern Poverty Law Center that tells the stories of those grappling with hate in their communities. It's designed to show just what the problems are, while also laying out reasons to hope and how to engage with the problem.
