Race: Why It's Easier to Be White (and That Ain't Good)
Original Air Date: July 16, 2006 AudioLink_2006_0716
Show Category: Race
Show Description: Did you hear about Sherdavia Jenkins? No! Hmmm...that's interesting. I bet if she were white, 18, and attractive like Natalee Holloway you would have. Sherdavia was a 9-year old girl shot in front of her housing project during a drive-by. Incidents like Sherdavia shed light at the racist roots of Americans, something to which faith has a lot to talk about. Join the open, honest conversation about race in America. It's progression. It's pitfalls. And how faith interacts.

Quotes to Live By
"We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others...It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest."
-C.S. Lewis
