During the episode, the Atlantic correspondent, author of "Between the World and Me," and the recipient of the MacCarther Genius Grant discusses the difference between racism in the United States and Europe, why he dislikes being called a genius, what it felt like when Toni Morrison compared him to James Baldwin, what changed his mind on reparations and the one statistic that crystalizes the need for race-based and not merely class-based solutions.
