Kneenecking and racism. Where are we a year on? (with David Gyasi)

Kneenecking and racism. Where are we a year on? (with David Gyasi)

In this first episode of season 2, I speak again with the actor David Gyasi  (Interstellar, Cloud Atlas,The Dark Night Rises, Carnival Row). We look at where the word kneenecking is a year after it's conception as a way to articulate the horror of racism. We chat about the continuum between micro and macro aggression, the origins of racist 'science' and signs of hope and change. We look at racism as a disease and a state of being that far from being the human condition is an infected wound that mars and obscures humanity.  David also discusses how when we really want to make a change we can do it.
