White Folks: Race in Rural America

CJ talks to Professor Timothy Lensmire from U of Minnesota about his book "White Folks: Race and Identity in Rural America". Tim shares his research talking to people from his rural hometown in Wisconsin. We discuss the tension between the desire to create everyone with dignity, being politically correct, and lack of action caused by underlying racist beliefs. How can we start the conversation about race without blame or judgment? What are the unconscious prejudice and biases we all have?This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's 4PM ET on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).2
