Episode: Racism Is A Disease
Description: "Racism takes not just a mental toll, not just a societal toll, not just an economic toll on the citizens of America but we have to bear a physical burden, it's an actual weight that we have to carry." The idea that racism is a disease is no longer just a metaphorical concept but is instead now proven by medical science. Michael Harriot explains the research that began in the 1970s that led to this conclusion.
