Hour 4: The "Sounding White" Syndrome | 02-03-26
from The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel · host 77 WABC
Lionel dives headfirst into the third rail of talk radio: What does it actually mean to be white?. The conversation careens from the JFK airport snow plow beat to the concept of "sounding white" versus "sounding black". Listeners call in to debate the validity of "White Privilege" college courses, the semantics of the term "African-American", and why certain demographics dominate specific sports like swimming and basketball. Things get heated when a caller accuses the show of worshipping a "White God", leading Lionel to conclude that modern racial discourse has become absolute gibberish. Learn more about your ad choices.
