The issues of white privilege and helping people to understand the difference between "black lives matter" and "all lives matter" have taken prominence in our national dialogue. This week, we've changed the format of Dad Chat, moving away from random articles, and attempting to focus on a single topic that is of importance to our dad community. This is why we invited Alex Minor, LinkedIn video expert, a former musical collaborator of Greg's (a.k.a. "G-ro"), video editor and DP, father, to talk with us about what it means to be black in America, and ways we can speak to our kids about race. This was an eye-opening conversation for both of us because it showcased to us that rather than just make assumptions on the best way to talk about race and privilege in America, the best bet is to actually engage in a dialogue. In this critical conversation, we talk about the importance of empathy, of acknowledging differences in the experiences we have, the need for white people to call out those who are intolerant, and take umbrage at our calls for equality. "It doesn't matter if I say. It does matter what YOU say." -Alex Minor.
