Episode Notes

Be Better Today (Season 2, Episode 64) – Racial Justice: Barack Obama

Today’s show notes are a near-verbatim transcript because we believe the subject warrants it.

Welcome to the Be Better Today quickcast, I’m your host, Pete.

Today’s quote on racial justice comes from the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. Here he is helping to put context around the phrase and movement of Black Live Matter. He says:

“It’s important for us to also understand that the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ simply refers to the notion that there’s a specific vulnerability for African Americans that needs to be addressed. It’s not meant to suggest that other lives don’t matter. It’s to suggest that other folks aren’t experiencing this particular vulnerability.”

Now, let’s get out there and #bebettertoday!
