Episode Notes

Be Better Today (Season 2, Episode 66) – Racial Justice: Chris Rock

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 actor and comedian, Chris Rock. Mr. Rock’s take uses vivid imagery with his trademark wit to get his point across. And I quote:

“We treat racism in this country like it’s a style that America went through. Like flared legs and lava lamps. Oh, that crazy thing we did. We were hanging black people. We treat it like a fad instead of a disease that eradicates millions of people. You’ve got to get in a lab, and study it, and see its origins, and see what it’s immune to and what breaks it down.”

That is something to think about.

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