Pastor Michael McBride Says Stop Reaching for Whiteness

We talk Black Lives Matter and setting white people free.There are two things that Pastor Michael McBride is sure of: Jesus... and white supremacy. The activist and religious leader join W. Kamau Bell and Hari Kondabolu in the studio to make sense of last week’s fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, as well as the attack on the Dallas police during a peaceful protest of those killings. For those in search of a little grace and some straight talk about freeing white folks from whiteness (and minorities reaching for that same whiteness), this conversation is for you. Learn more about Pastor Mike’s work on ending gun violence and the incarceration of young people of color at the Pico National Network’s LIVE FREE campaign website: www.livefreeusa.org.And pre-order Hari’s new album “Mainstream American Comic” at www.killrockstars.com/hari.Need more Politically Re-Active?
