How confronting racist ideas I didn't realize I had is shaping me as a physician and a person

In a 2021 episode that we reran last month, "About me being racist: a conversation that follows an apology," Saul talked with a former Black colleague after apologizing to her for something racist he had done twenty years earlier that hurt her for a long time.   Since then, Saul has been thinking about how he got exposed to racist ideas and notions of power as a white male growing up in the United States (in his case in a liberal, highly educated community) and suggested that he and Stefan talk about it, taking to heart Toni Morrison's admonition that, "White people have a very serious problem, and they should start thinking about what they can do about it – and leave me out of it!" Also, next month we'll de discussing a short story by author James Baldwin with a special guest, and would like to encourage listeners to read "Sonny's Blues," which can be accessed from the story's Wiki page (scroll down to external links).
