In this live edition of Beyond the Scenes from South By Southwest in Austin, Texas, Roy Wood Jr. sits down with moderator of Washington Week on PBS, Yamiche Alcindor, CBS News Correspondent Vladimir Duthiers, and MSNBC host Symone D. Sanders for a poignant discussion about what it’s like to be a Black journalist and commentator in America. They each share personal experiences with racism on the job, talk about whether there’s been a shift in newsrooms to address the lack of representation, and exchange essential self-care tips for the job.

Replywe need a compilation of Roy Wood explaining what this podcast is
ReplyI think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.
ReplySo cool for Roy to get the chance to do this.
ReplyS/o to Vlad all the way from Lagos, Nigeria
ReplyAll for thos conversation. Yesss
ReplyMan, some people think NZ is really racist but it’s nothing compared to what black Americans go through.
ReplyI don’t understand how you guys put up with this level of overt racism. It would send me into a rage.
ReplyWhy is the camera so far from the panel?
ReplyThis conversation was extremely insightful, powerful, and very captivating. Thank you Roy for putting this together. I know that these Networks will be watching and hopefully they take in what these guys are saying.
Like Yamiche said, the country always find ways to minimize the complaints and experiences of POC. This is why I always advocate for us to keep pushing into those rooms that change actually happen.
