About this episode

Coleman and John McWhorter discuss the current state of race in America, the implications of recent political shifts, and the impact of immigration on racial conversations.

John McWhorter is back. This time, Coleman and John analyze where America stands on race in 2026, whether the woke moment is genuinely behind us, and what may have replaced it. They also get into why black men are increasingly voting Republican, how mass immigration has subtly shifted the conversation on race, and what the Supreme Court's recent Voting Rights Act decision actually means.
