In This Episode

Dear America, From a Black Guy is a documentary created by B. Dave Walters, the core of the project seeks to help find ways to improve communication and collaborate constructively about race relation issues.

The objective of Dear America, From a Black Guy is to explain three things to its audience:

• How systemic racism and inequality have built the world we live in, and how to see it for what it is in all its guises.
• Why ‘good people’ do racist things: Why your aunt feels the need to keep posting ‘All Lives Matter,’ or why your racist uncle hasn’t missed church in 20 years but condones keeping kids in cages at the southern border, and more importantly, how something called ‘moral framing’ can help you reach these types of ‘morally lost’ people.
• The need to actually listen to each other with respect — how to engage with people you disagree with to try and find some sort of common ground. Without a clear, calm, and respectful way to communicate, people may hear what’s being said, but won’t truly be listening.
