#18 There are Two Americas - Arqum Rashid

This past week we witnessed the capitol building being overrun by white supremacists and many of us can’t help but think what would have happened had the perpetrators been black or non-white, further reinforcing what we already know to be true, that there are two Americas. Arqum Rashid discusses with me what we witnessed.
