S2 E20 Racism
Life Talk with Bern Moses
Life Talk tackles why race dominates public debate, framing bias as a biological, subconscious response to difference that can be overridden through conscious development. Berne Moses recounts witnessing segregation in 1948 Memphis and contrasts it with Navy desegregation, where uniformity reduced variables and forged friendships. He argues people are not truly colorblind, but can build a psychic sieve through healthy exposure, careful language, and accountability for behavior rather than skin. Examples include children’s natural openness, his own momentary fear, and how shared purpose and respectful guidance replace control. The episode urges celebrating heritage while moving toward a common civic denominator.
