About this listen

In this episode of The Daily Brew, host Terrance explores the concept of race, addressing its origin, the effects it has on society and individuals, and emphasizing that it is a social construct rather than a biological fact. He highlights that despite genetic differences being less than 0.01%, these constructed racial categories significantly impact people's lives in real, tangible ways, such as socio-economic status and interaction with law enforcement. Terrance discusses the malicious origins of categorizing humans into races and challenges listeners to identify and challenge these harmful preconceptions in their everyday lives. He wraps up the episode reminding viewers that while race may be an invented concept, the consequences of racism are very real and impactful. Hence, advocating for mutual respect, understanding, and kindness towards each other can help arrest the negative effects of this construct.
