:yourock:

Wish I had an hour and some change to devote to this. Sounds damn interesting.

Can you give a synopsis??

3. Somebody puh-leese talk to me!

This man is a DIAMOND!

He covers:

How race and class are presented in the media
Intersections of race and class
Race/gender as related to health care costs
The technological divide
What is social work and its "code of ethics"
Concept of race

And THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING....

4. I'm still listening to it but this needs to get out.

No doubt the "It's not race it's class" people will not want to hear what he says.

In fact, I think I will post this to political videos my damn self.

The man is HOT!!! Synopsis? Just listen to the first 11:15 minutes and you'll understand why such a simple request gives me enormous pause in this case.
