This episode is part two of our conversation with Jaron Scott and Matthew McBirth, talking through what the current black lives matter conversation is actually about. Let’s continue to listen together to better understand how we can love our neighbors of color well.
Show Notes
Jaron Scott and Matthew McBirth use grace, humor, experience and wisdom to help us better understand what the BLM movement is, and what it isn’t. They walk through a series of common debate questions, covering topics like police brutality, the ethics of rioting, media bias, what systemic racism actually means, and the important difference between racism and indifference.
This conversation aims to skip the ‘political’ element of the debate and get to the true heart of it- helping us better love and understand our black and brown friends and neighbors in Joplin and everywhere.
