Ep 23: Was A Win For Trump A Win For Racism In America?

Race Haven - Solutions Focused Dialogue About Race In America

Last week our nation elected Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States of America. While a large segment of Americans were excited another large segment of Americans have expressed fear about what his victory means for race relations in America. Many people feel like Trump's victory sends a message that his "white" voters are not concerned with the well-being of African Americans, Latinos, woman, LGBTQ, and religious minorities. They feel like Donald Trump has opened pandoras box and unleashed the pinned up racist ideals that many of his voters share. While many of his voters feel that these claims are unfounded and unfair and that they simply made the best decision they could based on policy and party beliefs. Ra'id Curtis DeVeaux and Denny Faircloth join Scott Speed for Episode 23 of the Race Haven Podcast. Denny voted for Trump, and Ra'id did not. Tune in now to hear their perspectives on this topic and to see what happens when people who disagree engage in thoughtful discourse. Welcome To The Dialogue!
