Speaking of Race
While many people say they want to talk about race, the reality is, they want to talk about race with people who agree with them. Talking about race makes us uncomfortable; it’s often not considered polite or appropriate. So we stay in our bubbles, reinforcing our own sense of righteousness as well as our division. In Speaking of Race, Headlee offers readers a guide to having better conversations about race. We gain nothing, Headlee suggests, from avoiding conversations with those we disagree with. Empathy does not develop in a vacuum; avoiding conversations about racism has not made it go away. If we are to effect meaningful change as a society, we have to be able to talk about what that change looks like without fear of losing friends or being ostracized ourselves.
