But more than that, I'm now aware, through reading this book, through having conversations with people, that the bigger issue there was caste, that here was a building full of upper class white people.
Imagine renting out your condo to a famous rapper and finding yourself in the middle of a racial uproar. That's exactly what happened to Jay Shifman, host of 'Choose Your Struggle'. In this episode, Jay dives into Isabel Wilkerson's powerful book 'Caste' and shares a personal story involving rapper Talib Kweli. When Talib moved into Jay's condo in a predominantly white neighborhood, it stirred up unexpected tension and blatant racism from the other residents.
This episode is more than just a recounting of events; it's a deep look at how caste and racism are still very much alive in today's society. Jay and Talib's conversation sheds light on the complexities of housing discrimination and challenges listeners to think about their own biases. If you're passionate about social justice or curious about how these issues play out in everyday life, this episode will give you plenty to ponder.
Join Jay and Talib for a candid discussion that might just change how you see the world.
