Episode 12 (Express): We Are Anti-RACIST

June 08, 2020

With everything that is happening in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, we want to make clear the Wealth and Law Podcast stance:

* Racism is wrong in all of its forms (direct or indirect)* Racism exists in our society and should never be tolerated* White privilege exists in our society and it supports racism in direct and indirect ways* By listening to, learning from, and following the lead of wise leaders in the Black community, we can overcome racism and change our society to become fair and just
