298. Zohran Mamdani identified as African American? What's THAT about?

from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga

It has been revealed that #zohranmamdani identified in part African American on his college application. Now people are in a tizzy over it. This is another example of how much we don't know about the concept of race. #mamdani can give us an opportunity to discuss this but #ericadams, #andrewcuomo and others are using this as an opportunity to have what Glenn Singleton calls a #courageousconversation about this. What do you think? What are your experiences with the #census and identity overall? #upstander #NYC STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
