After we recap Jeanette's weekend in Williamsburg, VA, it's time to talk about Eminem's performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards and the complicated position of allies in the effort to equality. Somewhat related, we also discuss the White Identity Development Model and how, it turns out, we can trace a lot of what this podcast has covered to different stages of that model. Finally, our list of 50 experiences of racially mixed people continues with some talk about the company you keep.

It seems like the conversation about the NFL and peaceful protest has come and gone, but Christopher and Jeanette take the time to discuss the challenges that come from trying to establish common ground and getting personal experiences validated. Later, they react to the President of the United States othering American citizens in Puerto Rico, and dig in on the next 5 experiences of racially mixed people.

In this special bonus episode, Jeanette takes the mic and holds a one-woman therapy session to talk about NFL players opting to #TakeaKnee, and the challenges that have developed in talking about this movement (is it a movement yet?). We'll resume our regularly scheduled back and forth next week. Deuces.

After we celebrate 50 years of African American students at the College of William and Mary, Christopher and Jeanette discuss The 69th Emmys, the controversy around Jemele Hill exercising her right to free speech, and we cover another 5 experiences of racially mixed people.

After discussing the complicated nature of finding a new home and evaluating prospective neighborhoods, Christopher and Jeanette discuss recent video from Cobb County, Georgia showing a police officer joking about "only killing black people", the latest from Jeanette's PhD pursuit, and the next five items on our list of 50 Experiences of Racially Mixed People.

"Live" from Gulf Shores, Alabama, Christopher and Jeanette Snider discuss the continued fallout from the domestic terrorism witnessed in Charlottesville, Virginia, growing momentum for removing Confederate statues, and the next batch of 50 Experiences of Racially Mixed People. And, our parents make a special appearance to talk about their impressions of this podcast.

Maxine Waters is giving us life as she reclaims her time and offers up a discussion about the nature of an "Auntie" before we discuss the Department of Justice's investigations into Affirmative Action in College Admissions and the President's endorsement for police brutality. Finally, we cover the next 5 experiences of racially mixed people on our list of 50.

After a quick check-in on the #OhBetsy story of the week, Jeanette shares the motivations behind and initial reaction to her new hair style. This segues perfectly into a conversation about how hair can closely relate to identity and the latest discussion around Colin Kaepernick. Finally, we begin a new regular segment on the podcast: 50 Experiences of Racially Mixed People, starting with the first five on the list.

Let's settle in for a quick and thoughtful discussion about diversity at conferences, diversity in Spider-Man: Homecoming, our dear friend, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos (#OhBetsy), and that Buzzfeed quiz about stereotypically white characteristics.

Jeanette has returned from San Francisco a year wiser, ready to talk about the verdict in the Philando Castile murder, and the resulting conversation after years of unarmed African American men being killed with, what appears to be, no justice. Additionally, we discuss the regular interruptions of Senator Kamala Harris, and the best approach to identifying and resolving conflicts. Finally, we both saw Wonder Woman. And loved it.

Scheduling conflicts mean Christopher is riding solo for this episode. But there's still opportunity to talk about Bill Maher using the "N" word, and why Motown often requires a certain type of musician.

After a brief back and forth about monuments to the Confederate Army and some genuine diversity in 'The Bachelorette', we discuss the heartbreak and fallout after the murder of Richard Collins III on the University of Maryland campus. And, Jeanette (finally) saw Get Out, and we have lots to talk about.

Did you watch the White House Correspondents' Dinner? Jeanette did, and one particular moment spoke to her. Later on we discuss Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman University and the tricky dynamic of interracial relationship, fueled in part by the release of the Netflix original series 'Dear White People'.

After a short revisiting of family history around Christopher's diabetes diagnosis, our conversation focuses on two noteworthy movies in the African American communities. First we discuss 'Moonlight', and explore the complexity of the stereotypical "strong black man" archetype. And Jeanette shares her thoughts 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' and the tendency for many stories to default to a "white savior".

Our thoughts on Pepsi's tone-deaf commercial lead us into a broader discussion about representation in pop culture. From the Fast & Furious franchise to Shondaland, we cover some ground and expand upon the idea that seeing yourself represented on screen is a form of validation. Finally, CNN's Jeffrey Lord has us wondering what it takes to effectively create and communicate empathy in conversations about race.

The majority of our conversation this week revolves around critical race theory, its origins, its application to Jeanette's research, and representation within the diabetes community - something that Christopher can personally speak to. Finally, Jeanette would have words with anyone who wishes to discredit Congresswoman Maxine Waters or April Ryan with a shoutout to the conversation generated around the #BlackWomenAtWork hashtag.

After dusting off our Beyoncé impersonations, it's time to talk about white male privilege and some of the intellectually stimulating conversations Jeanette had at the 2017 NASPA Annual Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Later, we discuss the mechanics of developing, proposing, and eventually defending a PhD dissertation. Finally, we share our thoughts on the recent wave of racist flyers that were posted on the University of Maryland campus. Get ready.

After we recap Jeanette's trip to Los Angeles and the Critical Mixed Race Studies conference, we dig in on the perception around our "blackness". Along with how we perceived race around us growing up in Northern Virginia, and what propelled our efforts to embrace our diversity after college, we also discuss how our "blackness" is noticeably perceived by others. Finally, we have many thoughts on the comments made by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos about Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Many thoughts.

Who are we? Why did we start a podcast? What's up with Jeanette's PhD pursuit? After we run down some introductions and a syllabus for the podcast, we get down to business to discuss our experiences at the Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Women's Marches.

Introducing Mark All That Apply, a conversation about race, between siblings Christopher and Jeanette Snider. Before we formally get the party started, we need to get our RSS feed up and running. So here's a teaser to whet your appetite.
