Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

Robin and Jon take a closer look at systemic racism as it relates to housing and land rights. They discuss the racist ideas behind the seizure of native land, assimilation and segregation; they look at some of the explicitly racist programs and policies that affected Black and Indigenous Americans; they discuss what systemic effects those policies and programs still have today; and consider the outcomes of people of color because of this systemic racism.
