When it comes to America’s racial sins, past and present, a lot of us see people in one region of the country as guiltier than the rest. Host John Biewen spoke with some white Southern friends about that tendency. Part Six of our ongoing series, Seeing White. With recurring guest, Chenjerai Kumanyika.

Thanks to Chris Julin, whose 1991 NPR report on the Wisconsin fishing rights dispute we featured.
This is a really good look at the ways in which we separate ourselves from the sins of those who look like us. I appreciate John presenting this contrast in the way he did. I especially liked the adage he shared about North vs South in how they position themselves and talk about POC.
